STAFF REPORT
There are 9 unincorporated areas north of Highland Avenue, and
between Waterman Avenue and Boulder Avenue. These areas are either totally,
or substantially, surrounded by the City.
The provision of basic services to these areas.is complicated by
the irregular boundaries. Annexation to the City of San Bernardino would
provide more regular boundaries, and allow for _more efficient and cost
effective delivery of services.
Residents and property owners within these areas have historically
demonstrated support for annexation.
We recommend the resolution making application be approved.
URGENCY CLAUSE
It is necessary for this resolution to be approved on 1-6-86, in order for
the matter to be considered by the LAFC at their meeting in February.

I. INTRODUCTION
This plan for services outlines how basic municipal services
are being provided by the various agencies, and how they will
be provided upon annexation to the City of San Bernardino.
seven of the nine areas proposed for annexation are totally
surrounded by the City and the other two are substantially
surrounded. These areas have been within the City's "Sphere
of Influence" for many years. Therefore, plans developed by
the City for providing services have been based upon the
assumption that these areas would one day be incorporated
into the Ci ty.
Annexation of these areas are being proposed in order to
promote more efficient and cost effective delivery of
services. This Plan of Services indicates that the areas
proposed for annexation will receive an equal level of
services as other properties presently within the City
Limits, and more services than presently received.
II. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SERVICES
A. GENERAL
The following is an enumeration and description of
services which will be afforded to the affected areas
upon annexation.

B. WATER AND SEWER SERVICES
These services are presently provided by the East Valley
Wa te r D i s t r i c t, and w 111 con tin ue a f te ran n e x a t ion.
Sewer collected will be conveyed to the City's treatment
plant as at present. There will be no change in the
level of service or fees.
C. PUBLIC SAFETY
1. Fi re
Three of the City's ten fire stations will respond to
these areas.
These stations are located at 40th
Street and Electric Avenue, Del Rosa Avenue, and 19th
Street, and Orange Street and Highland Avenue. The
stations at Orange Street and Highland Avenue, and
19th Street and Del Rosa Avenue were sited so as to
cover the area to the easterly and northerly boundary
of the City's "Sphere of Influence". Fire protection
will be provided by existing personnel. The seven
stations not directly responding in these areas will
be available for back-up capabilities.
A helicopter is operated by the City's Fire
Department for rescue, observation, and evacuation.
This helicopter provides these services to all areas
within the City.
The City's Fire Department has a ISO rating of 4.
2
,,"'-"--

.~
o
All Fire Department personnel are paid full-time
employees and immediately available to respond.
The City has a very aggressive and comprehensive Fire
Prevention and Weed Abatement Program to eliminate
fire hazzards in the foothills.
2. Paramedics
Three paramedic squads are operated and a fourth will
be established in 1986-87 by the Fire Department for
the around the clock protection. One of these squads
is assigned to the station at Orange Street and
Highland Avenue. Each of the three squads have two
fully-trained paramedics on duty at all times.
3. Police
The City of San Bernardino's Police Department is
based upon a communi ty based policing concept. The
entire City is divided into beats, with personnel
permanently assigned.
Distinctive insignias are
provided by the sworn and civilian personnel assigned
to each beat.
The areas proposed for annexation are entirely within
the beat bounded on the west by Sierra Way and on the
south by Highland Avenue. Community police centers
3

are located at 42nd Street and Sierra Way, and at
Highland Avenue and Sterling Avenue. The latter one
is scheduled to be relocated to Highland Avenue and
Palm Avenue in the near future. These centers afford
the public an opportunity to file reports, discuss
concerns, and meet the personnel assigned to their
bea t.
About 25 sworn personnel are assigned to thi s beat.
This means that at least five patrol units are on
duty within this beat at all times. Since the areas
proposed for annexation are located within this beat,
police service is committed to the same police per
1000 population ratio (1.871 as the whole City. It
one of the highest in California.
Special emphasis is placed upon the Neighborhood
Watch Program.
More than 300 "blocks" have been
established through this program. This service will
be continued or expanded to the areas as needed upon
annexation, with residents encouraged to establish a
Neighborhood Watch Program for their "block".
Enforcement of traffic rules and regulations is now
provided by the California Highway Patrol. The
pri mary responsi bi 1 i ty for thi s functi on wi 11 be
assumed by the City Police Department upon
annexation, except for the freeway and Highland
Avenue, east of Arden Avenue (State Route 30).

School crossing guards within these areas are
presently under the supervision of the City Police
Department, with funding provided by the County. The
only difference after annexation will'be that funding
will be deri ved from the Ci ty. There will be no
reduction in the number of crossing guards, and the
number can be expected to increase, since this
service is more of an urban function.
4. Ambulance
Ambulance service is presently provided to City
residents by the Courtesy Ambulance Company, under
franchise by the City. This service will be extended
to residents within these areas.
Fees for thi s
service are paid for by the users. _
D. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1. Planning
This service is presently provided by the county and
will be assumed by the City Planning Department.
since the great majority of the area is developed as
single family residential, no extensive changes in
zoning or land use are anticipated. The Planning
Department will be working on the Highland General
Plan, in cooperation with the County. This document,
when completed and adopted, will govern development

o
of the vacant parcels and redevelopment of the
occupied parcel s.
Territories annexed into the City shall be subject to
all applicable zoning ordinances.
The City has
adopted development standards ensuring compatibiljty
between existing neighborhoods and new developments.
The use of density bonus for meeting affordable
housing is strongly discouraged.
2. Building and Safety
Inspection of new and remodeled buildings will be
provided by the City upon annexation. The City uses
the Uniform Building Code as does the County. A
Zoning Enforcement Officer is available to review
complaints about code violations and issue citations
as warranted.
E. STREET MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the 32.7 miles of streets within these
areas is presently performed by the County. but will be
assumed by the City upon annexation. Rehabilitation/re-
surfacing of streets is delegated a high priority within
the Ci ty.
These streets will be maintained on a
regularly scheduled basis in accordance with the City's
Comprehensive Street Program. The majority of street
maintenance work is done by personnel of the Publ ic

Services Department with major rehabilitation and
federally funded projects being done by contract through
the Public Works Department. Minor repairs, such as
potholes, are corrected as they are reported.
No sweeping is presently provided on these streets.
After annexation, they will be swept once every two
weeks, as are all of the streets in the City.
Tree trimming will be provided by the City on an "as
needed" and scheduled basis.
Electrical energy costs for the street lights are
presently derived through the County Special Services
Districts. The responsibility for providing these funds
will become the City's. Future placement will adhere to
the City's Comprehensive Street Lighting Program and will
be implemented i mmedi a tel y.
Since essentially all
street lights are owned by the Southern California
Edison Company, they will continue to provide maintenance
with their crews.
F. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
A five-year Capital Improvement Program is compiled each
year by the Public Works Department, with information
submitted by the affected departments. This program
lists those projects for which there is a reasonable
expectation that fund.ing can be secured. Projects within
7

,,-'...,

these areas will be considered for inclusion in the
Capital Improvement Program.
G. PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
Many of these programs are presently used by residents of
these areas, since proof of City residency is usually not
a requirement. No major changes in these programs are
expected.
City parks will continue to be operated in the same
manner, with the same clientele. The Ci ty has planned a
neighborhood park for joint venture to serve the primary
recreation needs of the residents of the proposed
annexation and the total northeast area of the City.
Recreat1.on services have been provided in the past to the
residents of these areas. The most visible service has
been in supporting the various Little League Fields by
capital improvements, electrical energy costs for
lighting, and various expenses such as umpire fees and
chalk costs. No changes are anticipated.
Nutritional programs are now run by the Community
Services Division for all citizens, and no changes are
expected. Upon completion of the proposed Perris Hill
Senior Citizen Center, a second nutritional program will
be initiated.
This center is planned to serve the
eastern citizens of San Bernardino.

The City operates 2 branch libraries. one at Sierra Way
and Marshall Boulevard. and one in Perris H111 Park. that
provide service to these areas.
These libraries
presently provide services to residents within the areas
proposed for annexation. since proof of residency is not
required. In addition. the Norman F. Feldhym Central
Library. at "E" Street and Sixth Street. offers a
multitude of services. Another branch library is in the
City's Master Library Plan to serve the whole northeast
area.

4. Gas
Presently provided by the Southern California Gas
Company, with no change.
J. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Three private companies presently provide refuse service
to these areas. Under State Law, these companies can
continue to provide service for five years after
annexation, contingent upon their fees and level of
service being comparable to the City's.
The only
exception will be new developments and those persons
requesting service from the City.
Refuse collected from these areas will continue to be
deposited in the various County Sanitary Landfill Sites
operated by a private contractor.
K. TRANS IT
Omnitrans presently provides service as a regional
transi t authori ty.
There will be no change due to
annexation to the fixed bus routes or to Dial-a-Ride and
Di a l-a-L ift.
L. PUBLIC EDUCATION

Unified School District. Therefore, annexation will have

no impact upon public education for grades K - 12.
M. FLOOD CONTROL
These areas are within Zones 2 and 3 of the Flood Control
District. Since the Flood Control Agency is a regional
organization, there will be no change due to annexation.
Improvements, operation and maintenance of channels will
continue to be the responsibility of the Flood Control
District. The City will assume local drainage problems
and facilities.
N. ANIMAL CONTROL
Animal control is presently provided by the County, and
will be assumed by the City upon annexation. The City
has three Animal Control Officers in the field during
normal working hours to respond to reports of animal
problems. These personnel are available for response
after normal working hours through the City's dispatch
center. Animals picked up by these officers are taken to
the shelter operated by the City.
The County and City ordinances relating to keeping
animals are identical, except that swine are not
permitted in the City.

responsibilities of the annexed areas. The area wi 11 be
temporarily divided between two wards (4th and 7th). The
citizens will have direct local representation and access

population and the Mayor who represents the total City as
opposed to a supervisor who represents 20% of the
County's population.
