May 19, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Common Council City of San Bernardino 300 North "0" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 RE: Appeal of Condition No. 10 -- C.U.P. 86-5, RV Park on Ninth Street, West of Tippecanoe Avenue Gentlemen: An appeal is hereby made on Condition No. 10, relating to the undergrounding of an existing high voltage electricity transmission pole line along the north side of Ninth.Street, adjacent to this parcel. This condition was not sufficiently clear to indicate that it pertains to existing utility lines. Because of this fact, I have proceeded with the plans for this development totally unaware of the real intention. The unexpected cost of undergrounding this existing pole would constitute an unreasonable burden on this project, and would almost certainly be financially unfeasible. I am completely in agreement with the goal of beautifying the City by placing utility facilities underground. However, the pole line to the west will not be undergrounded for many years, which I feel should be taken into considera- tion. It is respectfully requested that this condition be deleted for C.U.P. 86-5. The utility lines to actually serve this development will be installed under- ground in accordance with common practice. Your favorable consideration of this appeal will be appreciated. YP~y'B~ Lindsay Barto ,\'\Yl C;",...+l-. W",hf"".~ GlI<.. S,,'" \j~"o. Cft '\l-lfq\ , . . . In a memorandum dated May 2, 1986, Glenda Saul, Executive Director, Redevelopment Agency, stated that a proposal had been prepared by California State College to study the Prevailing Wage issue. The proposal was re- ceived on Friday, May 2, 1986, and was attached for re- view. The estimated cost is $25,000 and the study will be completed within 90 days after the execution of the agree- ment. The Mayor and Council discussed the cost and period of time required to complete the study. Glenda Saul, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, explained the history of the Prevailing Wage issue in the City of San Bernardino and what is required by State and Federal law. The issue is whether or not to require developers to pay prevailing wages on Redevelop- ment pr~ tb.Q1.l3~P":---Rt af I?xevailiR<j '-rilges rate sa ~S~ p~n' is no~mandated by State of Federal law. John Smith, repre~~ing labor unions and a trustee n ~ of a large pension trust in California, spoke about the .~~~negative impact on pension trust funds if prevailing wages 1tP rr are not paid. The funds could be depleted and the fringe benefits, such as health and welfare, would have to be reduced. Glenda Saul, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, answered questions regarding the scope of the proposed study. Tom Pierce, Professor of Economics, Cal State Univer- sity San Bernardino, answered questions, stating that the study would be fairly broad in scope and that the first part of the study would be that of fact finding. Bruce Daniels, Director of a new Center for Contract Compliance, answered questions, offered cooperation on the study, and stated that in a letter sent to all locals and contractors, they had requested that they provide neces- sary information regarding data on minorities that would be needed to complete the study. Mr. Sheldon Bachman of Cal State university, stated that 90 days was a minimum time frame for completion of the study and there would be no additional cost over the $25,000. The Community Development Commission voted to author- ize and direct Agency Counsel to prepare an agreement between the Community Development Commission and the Data Gathering Center, California State University, for consul- tant services, Prevailing Wage Rate Study, and to author- ize the execution thereof by the Chairman and Secretary of the Agency.
