DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
OF THE CIn OF SAN BERNARDINO
STAFF REPORT
Authoritv to ImDlement and Execute Contracts for Demolition Proiects
The Development Department Staff has received a number of requests to
implement demolition projects in association with the Neighborhood
Rehabilitation Program; removal of slum and blight; and correcting
health and safety conditions as determined by the Department of
Planning and Building and Services.
On February 4, 1991, the Mayor and Common council approved and adopted
the fiscal year 1991/1992 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program Mix for the period beginning July 1, 1991 and ending June 30,
1992. The Program Mix identified various categories for which CDBG
funds are to be used during the program year. One (1) category
specifically identified demolition as an eligible category for the
removal of residential structures, either attached or free standing,
which are substandard and do not meet the Uniform Building Code
requirements. In fiscal year 1991/1992, the CDBG Program Mix
authorized $100,000 for above referenced demolition projects.
Funds within this category are used in providing assistance to low and
moderate income households in order to comply with citations issued by
Planning and Building and Services Department for non-conforming
structures. Financial assistance is also provided to low and moderate
income families where demolition is required as part of the
rehabilitation requirements of an owner-occupied dwelling.
The use of these funds must be in conformance with the Federal
requirements for low and moderate income families, as well as meet the
national objective of the CDBG program.
Staff recommends that the Executive Director be authorized to implement
any and all demolition projects and enter into and execute demolition
contracts on behalf of the City of San Bernardino Economic Development
Agency, Development Department.

Approval of the staff recommendation will (a) facilitate timely
resolution of cases and community problems; (b) streamline
administrative processing; (c) reduce administrative time; and (d)
enable staff to be quickly responsive to Mayor/Common Council
requests. Such administrative latitude and flexibility would also
allow demolition bonds (where required) to be closely coordinated with
the processing of the case, the environmental clearances and the
"Notice to Proceed". Prior experience has indicated that the average
cost of demolition per case has been $6,000. It is not anticipated
future cases, given due allowances for exceptions, will differ from
this pattern.
This authority will be similar to the existing authority for the
administration of the Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program and the
Rental Rehabilitation Program.
On February 6, 1992, the Redevelopment Committee considered this matter
and recommended to the Community Development Commission approval of
same so long as staff seeks funding authority in $25,000 increments
with such total funding authority not to exceed $100,000.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
