He stated that the name change would have a negative impact on
his business because the business is identified by the street
location, and that it would be very expensive to replace his
stationery, invoices, and brochures, etc. to accommodate the
street name change.
Gene Klatt, Assistant Ci ty Engineer, Public Works
Department, explained that all affected businesses were notified
by mail, and that no other objection had been received. Mr.
Klatt stated that the street name change is not anticipated to be
made until January 1992.
Mr. Pat Hopkins, Sunset Group, 225 West Hospitality Lane,
San Bernardino, CA, explained the street and intersection
improvements that would alleviate some of the traffic problems
currently being experienced. He explained that the Sunset Group
had requested freeway signage from CalTrans to identify and
direct traffic into the Club project. He stated that an offer
had been made to provide directional signage for Econo Lube and
Tune, and the Sunset Group agreed to discuss financial assistance
with Mr. Beaver for costs incurred by the street name change.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO CONFIRMING THE
ASSESSMENT, APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT ANO
DESIGNATING THE TREASURER TO COLLECT AND RECEIVE MONEY.
(29)
Mayor Holcomb explained that the public hearing had been
closed, and the discussion relative to Assessment District No.
987 was continued to allow the committee consisting of Verdemont
residents an opportunity to work out an equitable and affordable
assessment district.
Mayor Holcomb expressed his support for the district with
the following affordability provisions:
1) That the City pay 50% of the construction costs for the
Palm Avenue traffic light;
2) That all property owned by the City and the School District
be included;
3) That the residents living on large lots along Palm Avenue
without sidewalks, would only be required to pay for 72 feet
of sidewalk, and that the balance would be advanced by the
City with the provision that if the property was subdivided,
the owners would pay for the cost of the sidewalk
construction;
5) That the City pay for the cost of paving Palm Avenue in
excess of the width of a standard residential street, (36
feet is the standard residential street width);
6) That for the smaller assessments, under $1,000, the City
would use a formula which states that no payment would be
made by any resident spending 30% or more of their gross
income for housing, unless independent resources exist that
make the assessment affordable, and can be paid from
uncommitted savings;
7) For the larger parcels that have been held by individuals
for many years, and who have no intention of developing and
subdividing, the payment would be deferred until the
property was sold, and that a transfer from one generation
to the next does not trigger payment; and
8) That there be a cap on the interest.
Mayor Holcomb explained that refinement and modifications
would need to be made to the eight provisions listed above, and
16
7/15/91
recommended that the assessment district be adopted. He stressed
that no resident would be forced out of his/her home due to the
assessments.
Mr. Phil Smith, 6504 North Churchill, San Bernardino, CA,
stated that he was Chairman of the Resident Committee that
reviewed Assessment District No. 987. He explained that the
mandate of the committee was to make the assessment district
affordable and equitable for all residents. He explained that
the committee agreed that the improvements were necessary, but
objected to the amount of the assessments. He explained that the
committee developed the following priority list of improvements
needed in Verdemont:
1) Palm Avenue culvert;
2) Palm Avenue improvements to channel drainage into the
culvert;
3) Belmont Avenue improvements which were not included in the
assessment district;
4) Irvington Avenue improvements; and
5) The Chestnut Avenue storm drain.
Phil Smith explained that the Committee had been advised by
bond counsel and the assessment engineers that the zones and the
assessed unit formulas could not be changed; therefore, the only
item of discussion during negotiation was what construction
improvements would be paid for by the City and what construction
improvements would be paid for by the residents.
Mr. Smith outlined the Committee's proposal, as follows:
Zone 1:
The Palm

and should be deleted from the assessment
The Committee proposed that the City pay 50%, and that
the residents pay 50% of the construction costs of the
culvert.
Zone 2:
The Chestnut Avenue storm drain. The Committee agreed
that the storm drain was necessary for future
development; however, it was not needed at this time,
and should be deleted from the assessment district.
The storm drain was the largest single dollar value in
the district, and the $1.9 million in construction
costs was being assessed on approximately 30 people.
17
7/15/91
Zone 3:
The Palm Avenue improvements include street lights,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and paving of streets,
from Kendall Avenue to Verdemont Avenue.
The Committee proposed that the City pay 50%, and that
the residents pay 50% of the construction costs of the
improvements.
Mayor Holcomb stated that a recommendation would be
presented to the Council to approve funding for both Belmont
Avenue and Irvington Avenue, through a loan from the Economic
Development Agency (Redevelopment Agency) in lieu of collecting
development fees from developers.
Mayor Holcomb explained that Item No. 30, on today's agenda,
would grant authorization to advertise for bids for the
construction of street improvements on sections of Irvington
Avenue, from Pine Avenue to the City limit line, and Magnolia
Avenue. He recommended that at the next Council meeting that
authorization be granted for the preparation of plans for street
improvements on Belmont Avenue.
Mr. Smith felt that there was confusion among the residents
relating to the various fees being imposed, such as the
infrastructure fees and the Mello Roos fees. He recommended
that all street improvements funded from these fees be reviewed,
and that a recommendation be made to reallocate these funds to
the areas most in need. He recommended that Assessment District
No. 987 be rejected and that a new assessment district be
developed.
Howell Estes, 7129 Little League Orive, San Bernardino, CA,
expressed support for the committee' 5 compromise proposal as
outlined by Mr. Phil Smith.
Mr. Rhodes, 3230 Belmont Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, voiced
his support for the committee's recommendations as presented by

LEASES UNDER THE MOBILE HOME PARK RENT STABILIZATION
ORDINANCE, AND ESTABLISHING THE URGENCY THEREOF.
Uraency (R-6)
Ken Henderson, Executive Director, Development Department,
explained that SB 132 was intended to eliminate the present
distinction between tenants and prospective tenants, giving new
tenants the opportunity of month-to-month tenancy. However, SB
132 was changed in Committee prior to becoming law, eliminating
the distinction. The State Senate has left to local governments
the responsibility of enacting ordinances to protect homeowners,
which would be accomplished through this ordinance, making .the
ten percent cap on space rental an option, and requiring that
19

park owners offer the option of a month-to-month rental agreement
within the City.

San Bernardino, CA, an attorney for park owners, explained that
the park owners were opposed to this ordinance and that it
exposed the City to potential liability.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow explained that there
are ongoing State and Federal lawsuits; therefore, the law
regarding mobile home rent control was not a static issue. He
stated that the State court oplnlons have agreed with the
decisions the Council had taken; however, the Federal courts
supported park owners.
Raymond Vasquez, Rancho Meridian Mobile Home Park, 2686 Mill
Street, Space #104, San Bernardino, CA, stated that he is a
retired senlor, and expressed concern over increasing rental
rates that were creating a hardship for residents trying to sell
their homes.

Member Maudsley, that said ordinance be adopted.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow explained that
currently people trying to move into parks are only offered a
20

option to choose between a long-term lease or a shorter rental
agreement.

LUNCHEON WORKSHOP - PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASE (31)
In a 1991 Sewer Rate Study dated June, 1991, Bernard Kersey,
General Manager, Municipal Water Department, stated that the
Department contracted with John Carollo Engineers to prepare a
Revenue Program in accordance with the Clean Water Act. The
program is needed to establish the sewer rates necessary to
generate revenue for the Water Reclamation Plant capital
improvement projects. The intent of the Revenue Program is to
demonstrate and establish equitable user rates based on the use
of the treatment facilities.
The Environmental Protection Agency' 5 grant conditions and
State guidelines require that the user charge system fees be fair
and equitable to all system users. The 1990 Revenue Plan
developed for the Department updates the sewer service rates to
include the latest collection system costs, regional operation
and maintenance costs for Fiscal Year 1990/91, and anticipated
additional debt service.
21
7/15/91
Due to operating and maintenance increases and added debt
service, the total budget had increased approximately 225 percent
since the sewer service rates were last adjusted in 1983. To
balance the budget, sewer service rates need to be adjusted
accordingly. The net result is that residential sewer rates
(single family, duplex, and triplex) would be increased nearly
89% for FY 1990/91.
The current costs associated with improvement of the
treatment plant that are recovered from the sewer connection and
capacity fees have increased annually in recognition of the
inflationary costs associated with construction. The charges for
these costs were increased 10% annually from 1984 to 1989. A
five-year schedule of connection fees is proposed for the period
1991-95.
It is recommended that the Mayor and Common Council set a
public hearing to consider adoption of these revised rates. It
is also recommended that the Water Department and the City
evaluate service rates annually in order to minimize the future
impact of rate adjustments to the rate payer.
MAYOR HOLCOMB ARRIVED
At 1:00 p.m., Mayor Holcomb arrived at the luncheon
workshop.
Mr. Kersey distributed handouts entitled Sewer Utility
Capital Improvement Cost Allocation (Existing/Expansion) dated

water reclamation costs have risen due to increasingly stringent
regulations imposed on discharges by both the State and Federal
governments.
COUNCIL MEMBERS ESTRADA AND MILLER EXCUSED
At 1:20 p.m., Council Members Estrada and Miller left the
luncheon workshop.
Mr. Kersey stated that regulations imposed by the So.uth

housing provides an alternative to residential design, and it
provides a variety of housing types for various income levels.
Clustering is already permitted in the Hillside Management area.

amendments: minimum site area, periphery treatment, and either
a development permit or a conditional use permit.
Al Boughey, Director, Planning and Building Services,
explained that the proposal would direct staff to prepare an
ordinance to amend the Oevelopment Code, as appropriate to
incorporate provisions by which clustered developments may occur.

Director, Planning and Building Services, stated that a meeting
was held to discuss the conversion of existing motels to
residential facilities, including facilities for people who are
mentally impaired yet capable of minimally supervised
independent living. He stated that language was included
specifying that the SRO standards apply to new construction only.
He recommended that a separate ordinance be drafted regarding
conversion of existing structures into SRO facilities.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to address better and
more affordable housing needs, and to develop a comprehensive
housing plan.
Joh~ Lightburn, P.O. Box 1622, San Bernardino, CA, expressed
concern for mentally ill homeless people, who need a place to
live, for the short run. He recommended that one motel be
converted to an SRO facility on a trial basis, to ease the
present need for homeless shelters.

homelessness, but to be utilized to prevent homelessness for
people on fixed incomes in the lower income brackets.

SAN BERNARDINO COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - REQUEST FOR AGENCY
GUARANTEE (R-7)
In a memorandum dated July 10, 1991, Kenneth Henderson,
Executive Director, Development Department, stated that San
Bernardino Community Hospital needed to record Parcel Map No.
11951 in connection with the construction of its new Robert H.
Ballard Rehabilitation Hospital at Sixteenth and Flores streets.
Construction of off-site improvements are a requirement of the
parcel map. The City' 5 Municipal Code provides that bonds or
other security may be substituted for actual construction thus
guaranteeing construction of the improvements after the map is
recorded. Community Hospital has asked that the Redevelopment
Agency guarantee the installation of the improvements. This
item would provide that the Redevelopment Agency would substitute
its guarantee for the $318,500 in bonds that would normally be
required for Parcel Map No. 11951.

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE - LOW & MODERATE HOUSING
(EMERGENCY ITEM)
City Attorney Penman stated that this item arose after the
agenda was posted, and that it is essential that action be taken
quickly to maintain funding for relocation assistance.
In a memorandum dated July 12, 1991, James F. Penman, City
Attorney, stated that on May 20, 1991 the Commission, with the
approval of the Mayor and Common Council, authorized the use of
$25,000 in low and moderate income funds to assist residents who
are evacuated from residential buildings found by Code
Enforcement to be imminent health and safety dangers. This
program has been successful and all who have needed assistance
have received it. As a result, many families now reside in safe,
healthful environments and many neighborhoods in the City are
being enjoyed by the residents instead of living in fear of
gangs, crime, and shootings. He stated that $23,890 of the
original allocation had been spent, leaving $1,110 remaining.
Beginning August 1, 1991, the County of San Bernardino was
reducing the amount of funds it provides to individuals in these
circumstances. The result will be that more families will need
these funds to help them relocate. He requested that the
Commission authorize an additional $100,000 for this program
from the remaining twenty percent set aside funds.
City Attorney Penman explained that the Uniform Code for
the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings reads in part "if .the
building or structure is in such condition as to make it
immediately dangerous to the life, limb, property or safety of
34
7/15/91
the public or its occupants it shall be ordered to be vacated."
Mr. Penman answered questions relating to the program and
provided statistics on the individuals assisted by the program.
He stated that since January 1991, the City, after find~ng
extreme life-threatening conditions, had closed 316 apartments.
Based on projections of the number of dangerous buildings left in
the City to be inspected, it is believed that for the remaining
year of 1991 approximately $100,000 will be needed to provide
safe housing.
COUNCIL MEMBER MILLER RETURNED
At 4:37 p.m., Council Member Miller returned to the Council
meeting and took her place at the council table.

funding to the Housing Committee for review and recommendation.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, to approve $25,000 in relocation assistance,
and to have the matter referred to the Housing Committee for
review and recommendation.
The Council expressed support for City Attorney Penman' 5
efforts on abating blight and crime.
Council Member Minor made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller, that the matter relative to relocation
funding assistance for low-moderate housing arose subsequent to
the posting of the agenda, and that action be taken on possible
