Mayor Holcomb indicated that the enterprise zone was impacting the
general fund, and he felt it was in the best interest of the City to
eliminate the fee exemption and rebate programs.
Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam felt that if the city acted on a

the following ordinance be adopted:

OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE ENTERPRISE

given on a case-by-case basis rather than geographical location. Mr.
Henderson also discussed with the Council previous actions that had taken
place regarding the enterprise zones for the past four years.
Councilwoman Estrada asked the cost of the enterprise zone program
to the City.
Mr. Henderson indicated the cost was approximately $105,000 per
year.
Mayor Holcomb stated the City would still provide incentives for
those who needed it on a City-wide basis, and the general fund would not
need to be used.

Mayor Holcomb opened the public hearing for the California Inn
Bill Lemann, Attorney for St. Bernardine Plaza, indicated that he
had submitted a letter to the City regarding this item. He stated that
the building of an SRO at the corner of Fifth and "E" was a major concern
to The Plaza and also The Plaza residents. He said The Plaza charges rent
rates of only 20X - 25X of an occupant's monthly income, and they have a
very small waiting list compared to 10 years ago.
Mr. Lemann implied that it would be difficult for the California
Inn to find occupants for the amount of rent they are requesting.
Loretta Pelman, Manager, St. Bernardine Plaza, stated her concerns
regarding the project. She said it was a beautiful project but felt it
would not house tenants for a long length of time. She stated the project
would be in a transient area and they would have difficulty attracting
people to the area.

Ms. Pelman said many of The Plsza'a residents had been occupants
for 10 years, and they feared a new facility in the area.
Commission Member Hernandez indicated that a public meeting was
held and, at that time, the consensus of the seniors was that they wanted
to see the new facility built. He explained that the City did not want to
harm the seniors, only help them in any way possible.
Monsignor Bradley, on the San Bernardino Archdiocese, stated he was
in agreement with whatever was best for The Plaza occupants.
Mr. Lemann said he would like the City to have a public notice
hearing to again discuss this project. He stated the occupants were not
totally against the project, only concerned with what effect it would have
on them.
Jimmy Deillia, private citizen, spoke on projects that he has
worked on in the past which were similar to the SRO.
Isabel Erwin, resident of St. Bernardine Plaza, indicated she had
lived there for three (3) years, and stated her car had been vandalized
twice. She expressed serious concern over vandalism if the SRO was
allowed to be built.
Gil Lara, President of Larcon Development, discussed this project,
explaining the senior analysis, a survey taken of similar types of
developments, and also a letter of endorsement. He stated the original
project was approved in January.
Mr. Lara explained that the project was based on the history of the
old California Hotel. It would be a four-story building with
approximately 200 rooms. He said the room sizes had been increased since
the original plans to help in occupant retention. He also described the
amenities the SRO would have and welcomed the senior citizens to use them.
Chairman Holcomb spoke on how well the SRO's do in San Diego,
indicating they due not have a negative impact on its businesses.
Commission Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Commission
Member Hernandez to close the public hearing.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commission
Members Estrada; Reilly; Hernandez; Maudsley; Minor; Pope-Ludlam; Miller.

Brothers.

he had major concerns regarding its program, and also the fact that it had
never had an audit.

stated its private funds were not audited.
Commission Member Hernandez spoke on the cost of the Main Street
budget and the funds used for its programs. He commented on the salary
for the Executive Director, stating that the normal salary range for Main
Street executives was from $40,000 - $50,000 per year. The Main Street
executive for San Bernardino had a salary rate of $83,000 per year.
Commission Member Hernandez discussed previous actions taken by
Main Street indicating that some serious mistakes could have been caused
by its actions.
Jerry Casillas, Board Member, Main Street, spoke on Main Street's
progress indicsting that the Executive Director of Main Street had met
with the Executive Director of the Convention Center and Visitors Bureau
along with Mr. Steinhaus to ensure there was no duplication of effort. He

tfI'
Chairman Holcomb said he felt Main Street would be better-off if it
was placed under the EDA umbrella. He specified that there had been
communication problems between EDA and Main Street, indicating that some
had caused costly errors. He also requested the need for an audit of Main
Street. He spoke on the advantages of having Main Street located near EDA
stressing the cost savings.

November, 1990, an audit was conducted of her office.
Mr. Casillas stated an audit was presently being done which should
be complete on September 19, 1992.
Commission Member Estrada read a letter from Paul Quinton, a San
Bernsrdino businessman, who questioned the need for this motion. She
stated the purpose of Main Street was to bring businesses together, and
she felt that had been accomplished.
Chairman Holcomb stated that Main Street gets over $1 million s
year of public money and he felt they should be sccountable for that. He
said bringing them under EDA would allow them more resources than what it
can provide on its own.
Discussion ensued regarding the finances and financial status of
Main Street.

Commission Member Hernandez expressed concern regarding the
dilemma of the police facility. He questioned if the police department
could even be accommodated in the facility in question.
Peggy Ducey, Assistant to the City Administrator, stated the
renovation of the buildings would be cheaper than constructing a brand
new facility from the ground up. She discussed the options that could be
used with the Pacific Federal Building including the expansion of
Building "A".
Commission Member Miller asked if the space requirements done on
the police department were based on needs in the year 2000.
Ms. Ducey indicated she did not believe the needs were based to
that extent.
Discussion ensued regarding the adequateness of the facility and
also the Commission's knowledge of the facility at the time of purchase.

business community was not expecting to review this item until September
21, 1992 as voted by the Commission at the last meeting on August 16,
1992. She indicated many business owners were working on responses to
this item and were not informed of its review at the meeting today. She

The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Commission

Maudsley. Abstain: Commission Member Pope-Ludlam. Absent: Commission

Commission Member Pope-Ludlam indicated that both Commission
Members Maudsley and Estrada had valid concerns and felt both sides
should be heard. She stated she would like to see Main Street be a
downtown Main Street and work with all areas of the City.
Commission Member Miller expressed concern regarding informing the
public of the meeting being held on September 21, 1992 and reViewing it
at an earlier date without their knowledge.
Wally Green, Vice Chairman, Main Street, stated he was informed of
the Main Street item being on the Commission calendar for todays date on
Saturday, September 5, 1992, but was unable to review the item because of
the weekend and Monday being a holiday. He emphasized that there were
numerous community citizens expecting to review this item on September
21, 1992. He stated to settle the Main Street item today without giVing
the community a chance to respond would be wrong. He said he would like
to have the item continued and that a public hearing be announced.
Irmi Blum, former member of the Main Street Committee, stated she
was contacted and informed that the project manager of Main Street was
receiving a salary of $83,000 a year. She felt that was unbelievable.
Ms. Blum discussed the history of the Main Street program from its
origination in July, 1987. She spoke on the initial overwhelming
response the Main Street Program received from the public. She indicated
that as time went on with the program, many people resigned due to
various reasons including herself.
Ms. Blum felt that a salary of $83,000 was too high for the
project manager especially in lieu of the amount of progress that had
taken place in the revitalization of "E" Street, which is what Main
Street was initially originated to do. She stated she contacted
Sacramento to get a list of salaries for Main Street project managers and
was given figures of $30,000 to $50,000 a year.
Commission Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Commission
Member Pope-Ludlam that the Main Street budget be continued until
September 21, 1992 and that they be funded at the 1990/1991 funding level.
