27. Public hearing - to consider various fee adjustments (Continued from November
18, 2002)
A Resolution of the City of San Bernardino establishing certain fees for services
furnished by the City of San Bernardino, and repealing Resolution No. 80-522,
Resolution No. 96-195, Resolution No. 98-257, Resolution No. 99-173, Resolution No.

The hearing remained open.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner Suarez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Anderson, that the hearing be closed.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members/Commissioners
Estrada, McGinnis, Derry, Suarez, Anderson. Nays: Council Member/Commissioner
McCammack. Absent: Council Member/Commissioner Longville.
Council Member/Commissioner Anderson stated that the report did not show which
fees were lowered, which fees were raised, and which fees remained the same.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that her understanding was that
State law requires that the City impose fees based only on the actual cost of doing
business. She stated that she felt the fee increases should be discussed line-by-line at
the committee level and that the public needed more time to understand the issue and
should be given the opportunity to provide input.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that she also had reservations about the
document and felt that the public should be educated on what it costs to run a city and
that they should be prepared for what lies ahead.
Mayor/Chairman Valles stated that the issue of fees is always a difficult one to deal
with. She stated that department heads have worked diligently to stay within their
budgets and have tried to minimize costs and enhance services to the residents of the
community.
Lori Sassoon, Assistant to the City Administrator, stated that the document included a
summary that provided the current fee, the recommended fee, and any increase or
12
12/02/2002
decrease for each department. She noted that the resolution was done in a strike-
through format and that a great deal of the resolution remained unchanged. Ms.
Sassoon stated that the cost analysis was provided for informational purposes only. She
stated that although most of the fees contained in the packet were user fees, the Animal
Control fee was a license fee, and under State law, was essentially a regulatory fee and
did not have to be based on the cost of service. Ms. Sassoon stated that another
exception to that is the section regarding Facilities Management and setting bail
forfeiture fines or parking ticket fines, which is based on a comparison with other cities
in the County and not on cost.
City Administrator Wilson stated that it would be necessary to look beyond fee
adjustments as a way of dealing with some of the budget challenges the City will be
facing. Mr. Wilson stated that he saw this as a two-step process where the departments
had already been working on the fee adjustments and they would also be looking at
other types of savings as a way to balance the budget at the upcoming budget
workshop.
Council Member/Commissioner McCarnmack stated that it was her understanding that
the fees would be reviewed by the committee prior to the budget workshop. She stated
that the committee did not look at every fee-they only looked at the fees that were
changing.
Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis stated that he felt the City has been running
a tight ship and is afloat when many other cities are not. He stated that the fee
increases are necessary if the City is going to remain afloat.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that she could not justify asking the
Ways and Means Committee to review the fees for hours and hours when the financial
impact would only be an additional $96,000 in revenue to the City.
City Administrator Wilson clarified that the $96,000 revenue was for the balance of the
year, or approximately $180,000 for the year.
Council Member/Commissioner McCarnmack suggested that the City take the $180,000
and start lowering the utility tax.

28. Resolution approving Final Map for Tentative Tract No. 14112, located
northeasterly of the intersection of Foothill Drive and Sterling Avenue (Continued
from June 3, 2002)
Frank Schnetz, 330 N. "D" Street, San Bernardino, CA, representative for the
property owner and the developer, Century Homes, stated that an engineer has been
retained and they are requesting a 45-day continuance in order to finalize the map and
post the bonds. Mr. Schnetz stated that the developer also has an interest in the
adjacent property owned by the Water Department, which would allow another 110

discussed was making sure the City secures its housing needs in terms of upscale single
family units and limiting multi-unit dwellings while complying with the Housing
