LUKE AND VONDEY:
Mr. Austin stated that Mr. Virgil Luke has requested that a roof for shade be
installed over the front and rear display windows and entrances to protect
the merchandise displayed from the direct sun. Mr. Austin stated that the
Agency has received other requests from tenants of -the Mini-Mall and believes
that the Agency should consider that if we meet Mr. Luke's request, we might be
faced with a number of costly changes.

in the amount of $565. Mr. Luke stated that he did approve the plans that were
submitted to him, but actually did not realize that a covering would not be pro-
vided.

PROPOSALS FOR REMAINING CENTRAL CITY STREET IMPROVEMENTS:
Mr. Austin advised that proposals were solicited for the design and/or redesign
of street improvements remaining to be done in the Central City Project. Only
two firms submitted proposals, one of which was withdrawn shortly before the
meeting. The only remaining proposal is from Arrowhead Engineering. The
reason given by the firms for not submitting proposals was that it violated
their code of ethics to submit a price figure in a proposal.
It was explained to all firms that the Agency is working with public funds,
and must obtain the best price available for work to be done. The Agency
considers all firms who were solicited as qualified to perform the services.
Mr. Krueper from Krueper Engineering stated that they worked on the original
design under contract with Garner, Tee, Tracadas & Troy, who were contracted
by the Agency. It is their feeling that this work should be handled as a
Change Order to the original contract, and not as an additional contract, be-
cause it is actually a continuation of the original work.
Mr. Wein stated that he is opposed to considering only one proposal, and moved
that the matter be tabled and the Chairman and Secretary be instructed to
enter into negotiations with three or more firms for this work. The motion
died for lack of second.
Mr. Wilson asked if tabling this matter until the May 7, 1970 meeting would
cause any great delay to the project. Mr. Desrochers stated that he felt we
could continue on schedule. Mr. Wilson further stated that he felt the matter
should be tabled and be referred to Legal Counsel for reconmendation regarding
the Agency's obligations to the original contractor for the street work.
After further discussion and review, motion was made by Wilson and seconded. by
Webster to table the matter until the May 7, 1970 meeting, and instructing the
Agency Counsel to review the matter of obligations to the original contractor.
The motion was carried by the following vote, to wit: Ayes: Wilson, Webster,
and Austin Noes: Wein Abstention: None Absent: Gutierrez

in order for all the necessary steps to be taken to deliver cleared land to the
C. W. Driver Firm. C. W. Driver will develop the twelve story structure that
will house Security Pacific Bank, now temporarily located in the Mini-Mall.
The tenants of the Mini-Mall must relocate on a set schedule in order that the
land may be used for mall parking.
Mr. Kwock stated that he should be advised within the next week if his appli-
cation for a Small Business loan has been accepted. He desires to have a new
structure built for his business, if his loan is approved. Mr. Wein suggested
that the matter be tabled until the next meeting, in order that Mr. Kwock can
report on his application to Small Business. In the meantime the Relocation
Department should work closely with Mr. Kwock fora temporary location or a
storage move until his building is ready for occupancy.

was presented to the Members. The changes were pointed out and explained. Mr.
Varner explained that this Agreement creates a Joint Powers Authority, which
gives the City a vehicle for financing the construction of the City Hall
and Exhibit Hall. The Joint Powers Authority goes out to bid for the facility
(City Hall and Exhibit Hall). The facility is owned by the Authority, and
leased to the City, and revenue bonds are obtained.
The Agency itself assumes no liability. Our only obligation is strictly as an
accommodation to the City and County. We will have no financial obligation,
nor will any kind of imposition be placed on any redevelopment projects.
After further discussion and review of the Agreement, the following resolution
was introduced:

PROPOSALS FOR REMAINING CENTRAL CITY STREET IMPROVEMENTS:
The proposals for the design and/or redesign of street improvements remaining
in the Central City Project were again presented to the Board. A Memo from
Mr. Desrochers, Operations Officer, regarding the proposals was presented. Said
memo stated that interviews were held with Arrowhead Engineering, Krueper
Engineering, and Garner, Tee, Tracadas & Troy, as instructed at the last board
meeting.
It was the recommendation of the Engineering staff that the firm of Krueper
Engineering be contracted for an amount not to exceed $8,750, because of their
knowledge of the Singer Electrical System, which is to be installed in the
project. Mr. Austin stated that Arrowhead Engineering has quoted a price of
$5,920 for this service, and he therefore cannot see how the Agency could
justify an expenditure of $8,750 to Krueper Engineering. The Members asked
Mr. Desrochers if he considered Arrowhead Engineering qualified to perform the
services. Mr. Desrochers stated that Arrowhead has always performed well in
past contracts and he would consider them qualified. Mr. Joe Hyde, from
Arrowhead Engineering, was presented to the Board. Mr. Hyde stated that his
firm now employes a licensed engineer, and uses the services of an Electrical
Engineering firm in Los Angeles for their electrical work. Mr, Hyde stated
that he did not know if this firm was acquainted with the Singer Electrical
System, but when they were presented with the plans, they stated they were
qualified to perform.
Mr. Webster asked if any of the proposing firms had been advised by the staff
that they would be given a change order to their original contract for this
work. Mr. Krueper stated that he assumed there would be a change order because
of discussions he has had with City and Agency contractors with regard to the
revision of the second phase. Mr. Tracadas stated that he too assumed there
would be a change order.
After further discussion, and careful review, the following resolution was
introduced:

was asked if he would have any objection to tabling the matter until the second

Attention: William Lippman

Dear Mr. Lippman:
At the Agency's meeting of May 7, 1970, your proposal for the issuance
of bonds over a protracted period of time as contained in your letter
of April 3, 1970 was duly considered.
The Agency Board feels that this proposal as presented is unsatisfactory,
inasmuch as our immediate needs are in excess of your proposed initial
issue. We will continue to work with you towards a satisfactory arrange-
ment.
The Agency Chairman, A. M. Austin; Agency Counsel, BruceD. Varner; and
the undersigned have been instructed by the Board to advise you of the
findings of the Board, and to explore other sources and/or means of funding
for the Agency!s required local share. No formal action was taken by
the Board as to the proposal submitted by your firm, however, pursuant
to the Agency's directives, please be advised that the Redevelopment
Agency is actively pursuing at this time alternative means and/or
sources of funding required for: the completion of the Central City Project. "-'
Very truly yours,
P. W. Quinn, Jr.

Dear Mr. Quinn:

Los Angeles, Call E. 90017
820-9600
Pursuant to my conversation with the Board of Directors
yesterday evening, Hornblower & Weeks proposes the following
financing program for the Redevelopment Agency's Central City
Pro,) e c t
1. An issue to be sold in the last week of April of
$4,000,000,
2, An issue of approximately $4,000,000 to be sold in
August or September.
3, Assuming that the first two (2) issues have enabled
this program to start and set off the building by the
individual developers which vrill substantiate the tax
increment needed to support the balance of your needs,
we will issue another $3,000,000 approximately in
January.
The benefits of these are:
1, Bonds are issued in digestable size,
2. Because of the gradual build up in debt, there is a
relationship with the development of the project,
__ .,,

Mr. Peter W. Quinn, Jr.

3• Fears of delay will be precluded because proceedings
on development will correspond with issuance of the
bonds.
4. As the protect develops, need for interest capitalization
should lessen - therefore a greater percentage of the
total issue will be in usable funds.
This is a program that I feel that we can live with and I
hope that it will satisfy your needs as well.

ROGER ROY CONTRACTORS - DELETION OF PARKING LOT:
Mr. Austin advised that at the last Board Meeting, the Board authorized the
deduction of $1,000 from Roger Roy.`s Unit No. 31 Contract for the deletion of
the parking lot on Court Street. This was done at the City's request, in
order that they may continue using the lot. Roger Roy feels that $1,000
1467
is too much to deduct from his contract for this deletion. The members dis-
cussed the possibility of withholding the $1,000 until the lot is ready for
demolition. Mr. Quinn advised that this possibility was discussed with Roger
Roy, but that they felt there would be no assurance as to when this would occur
and the moving in and out costs might exceed the $1,000.
Other bids were obtained for this service. Mr. Jerry Winstead, City Adminis-
trator, stated that the City could demolish the lot for $500. No written
commitment was obtained from Mr. Winstead. The members discussed entering
into a contract with the City for this demolition at a cost of $500, and
deducting this anaunt from Roger Roy's contract.
After further discussion, nation was made by Wein and seconded by Wilson tabling
the matter until the next board meeting, in order that the Agency can obtain
written commitment from the City for the demolition of the parking lot, The
motion was carried by the following vote, to wit: Ayes: Wein, Wilson, Webster,

mined that the installation of expansion joints is necessary to remedy the cracked
area and to prevent any further cracking of future finish plastering. It is
proposed to enter into a Change Order with Diffenbaugh for an amount not to
exceed $1,300 for these expansion joints.
Mr. Wein stated that he believes the Contractor should be responsible for this
expense. Mr. Quinn advised that the Contractor followed the specifications
furnished by our architect, Gruen Associates. The specifications did not pro-
vide for the expansion joints. The Members felt that perhaps the expense
should be incurred by Gruen Associates in that the joints were not noted on the
plans. All Members determined the necessity for this work to be done. After
much discussion and review, the following resolution was introduced:

pressed. Mr. Quinn stated that he would obtain a map from the Department of
Highways for the Board's review at the next meeting, in this way the Board

CHANGE ORDER, GRIGGS-NORWOOD, UNIT N0. 12, PHASE I, CALIF. R-79:
P1r. Desrochers explained that several problems have been encountered during
execution of the grading contract for the City Fiall, public areas, and park-
ing garage sites. He requested a Change Order to Griggs-PJonvood Contract, for
the following alterations to the original plans:
Removal and disposal of footings and debris through the area. It vaas ex-
plained that the foundation footings of the old Antlers Hotel were never
removed. Approximately 1/2 of this foundation is in the area of the grading
contract, and the other half is on the parcel of property under Disposition
Agreement to Suburban Associates. P1r. Quinn advised that the staff has
contacted Suburban Associates regarding this foundation. They have requested
that the foundation be removed. The Contractor has quoted a price of appro-
ximately $1,600 for the removal of the portion within their contract.
After discussion, the members determined that the entire foundation should
be removed. t1r. Desrochers was directed to negotiate with the Contractor
for the removal of the entire foundation.
Alteration of shape of the slopes and embankments. During the first portion
of the work, the Agency was advised by Gruen Associates and CHJ ilaterials to
make certain alterations.
Deletion of the stockpiling of excess material. There being many debris
pockets, CHJ t4aterials Lab has suggested that the majority of the stockpiling
be eliminated. Upon discussion it was determined that the difference between
the stockpiling and the hauling off of the dirt would be 5.50 a cubic yard.
Deletion of the grading for the Cultural Center. Since the Cultural Center
Auditorium will not be constructed for at least one year, it is not feasible
to leave the proposed slopes for the seating arrangement unprotected for
this period of time. The Contractor has offered a credit for this elimina-
tion.

WHEREAS, a Public Hearing pertaining to said agreement will be held on the 2nd
day of July, 1970;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San
Bernardino, that it declares its intention to enter into an Owner Participation
Agreement with Transcontinental Investment Company, and hereby authorizes the
publication of a Notice of Public Hearing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary is hereby authorized to recommend to
the Planning Commission, of the City of San Bernardino, that the right be granted
to Transcontinental Investment Company, for said proposed land use, in accordance
with the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for the State College Project Area,
adopted by the Common Council, April 27, 7970.
Adopted: 6-18-70
Mr. Wein moved for the approval of Resolution No. 2235 approving the land use pro-
posed by Transcontinental Investment Company and scheduling the proposed Owner
Participation Agreement for Public Hearing. Mr. Gutierrez seconded the motion.
Mr. Wilsron stated that he did not believe that the development of a mobile park
would be to the best interest of the Agency and City. He stated that this area
will overlook the proposed golf course and that a conventional home development
would generate far greater tax revenue for the City. Mr. Jack Reilly stated that
after careful review it has been determined that the difference in tax dollar is
not that great. Mr. Switzer explained that the gross tax revenue is greater
from a home development, but upon calculation the net revenue received by the '°'"`
City does not show such a great difference. In a mobile home area less police
and fire protection is necessary, and no maintenance by the City is required.
1486
Mr. Wein stated that he is favor of this proposal because Transcontinental
Investment owns the land and their proposal is definite. Mr. Webster stated
that he also is in favor of the proposal. Mr. Curci advised that Transcontinental
Investment will develop the land even if the golf course is never built.
Mr. Wein repeated his motion to adopt Resolution No. 2235 approving the land
use proposed by Transcontinental Investment Company and scheduling the pro-
posed Owner Participation Agreement for Public Hearing. Mr. Gutierrez
confirmed his second. The Motion was carried by the following vote, to wit:

PUBLIC HEARING, TRANSCONTINENTAL INVESTMENT - OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
COLLEGE PARK AREA:
Mr. Austin reported that this is the time and place designated far the Public
Hearing regarding the proposed Owner Participation Agreement with Transconti-
nental Investment Company, for the development of two Mobile Home Parks within
the College Park Project Area. He stated that the form of agreement was avail-
able for examination.
Mr. Bob Curci, Vice President of Transcontinental, pointed out the boundaries
of the two proposed mobile home sites. The larger site is west of Little
Mountain Drive and will contain approximately 39 acres. This will be an adult
park and will not be able to be seen by any homes presently in the area. The
other site is east of Little Mountain Drive and contains approximately 24.3
acres. This park will be family orientated and upon completion of the new school
just south, this park will not be seen by any homes presently in the area.
Their total investment will be approximately E1,000,000.
lsot
4:20 p.m. - Mr. Quinn and I4r. Varner arrived at the meeting.
Several residents from outside the boundaries of the State College Project
itself siateci ti~eir oppositions to the proposed development, as follows:
1. The number of additional children that will be using Blair Park for play
area, because of the small play yards in mobile home parks.
h1r. Switzer, Civil Engineer for the project, explained that through
statistics, a family mobile park of this size would probably only have
about 40 children in total.
2. The tax revenue to the City from these mobile homes vs. the tax revenue
that would be received if conventional domes were built.
ftayor Ballard stated that after careful review, it has been determined that
the gross tax revenue from conventional homes is greater, but upon calcula-
tion, the net revenue received by the City does not show such a great
difference. The City does not have to provide any maintenance in a mobile
home area. The City also receives revenue from the State on the license
fees received from the mobile homes.
3. The change of zoning in their area. They were especially opposed to com-
mercial moving into their area. It was their feeling that the mobile
homes would attract commercial developers to the area.
~~
It was explained that there will be no zoning changes. The area proposed
for the mobile home parks is already zoned for this use. The area south
of this proposed site is already zoned for apartments. There is conmer-
cially zoned property within the area, which has been zoned commercial by
the General Plan for the area, long before their residential tract was
built.
4. The residents were concerned with depreciation of their property because of
the mobile home development.
Mr. Switzer stated that their property will not depreciate due to the mobile
home development.
5. The residents stated that if the City is unable to acquire the property from
the State for the golf course, there would be a possibility of more mobile
hares on property in this area owned by Transcontinental.
Mr. Curci stated that Transcontinental owns land presently zoned for this
type of development and some land zoned for commercial within the area.
At the present time there are no plans for their development, but he could
not state that there would be no commercial ,plans later.
Mr. Austin stated that the use proposed by Transcontinental Investment does not
deviate from the Master Plan. If the Agency did not have a redevelopment pro- ,~
ject in this area, Transcontinental could develop the land without a Public
Hearing. One of the conditions that enabled San Bernardino to have a State
1502
College, was the understanding that the City would develop the land around the
College to the best of their ability. Now that the Agency has a redevelopment
project in this area, it is our responsibility to see that this land is developed
in accordance with our Redevelopment Plan.
After further discussion, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
REPORT OF AGENCY COUNSEL:
Mr. Varner stated that he has nothing to report at this time.

Mr. Varner stated that he would like to advise the Board that he is reviewing
with the City Attorney, whether a procedural policy should be adopted regarding
Public Hearings of this type. It is strictly a technicality, in that the
present rules do not spell out the procedure to be taken in matters of this
type.
REPORT OF BID OPENING, PARKING STRUCTURES:
Mr. Austin stated that Mr. Quinn and Mr. Varner were detained at the first
portion of this meeting because they were negotiating final details for the
financing the Agency needs to award the contract and/or contracts for the
construction of the parking structures.

Mr. Varner stated that Mr. Norwitz has submitted a firm offer of $5,000,000
worth of bond anticipation notes and to work with the Agency on a best-efforts
basis for the additional funds needed to provide for the local share. If
the Agency approves the execution of a contract with J. R. Norwitz & Co., we
will be in a position to award the contract for the construction of the park-
ing structures.
Mr. Varner stated that the Agency cannot make known the exact terms of Mr.
Narwitz's bid, because State law requires that a Public Agency solicit bids
for financing, which the Agency has not yet done. A resolution authorizing
the publication of a Notice Inviting Bids is being prepared by our Bond
Counsel, O'Melveny & Myers. This resolution will be ready on Monday, July
20, 1970. Mr. Narwitz's bid is within the limits of the California Law -
not to exceed 7k, far terms of 1 to 5 years, with a discount of not over 3
points and a financial consultant fee of not more than 2 points.

Mr. Jones, Operations Officer, explained that during the drilling for piles for
the "E" Street Bridge, clear water was found to be seeping into the newly
drilled holes. Excess water was found to be coming from the Harris Co. boiler.
A new temporary line was constructed. During the excavation of this temporary

the Andreson Bldg that emptied into the Third Street abandoned sewer line.
Because of the emergency, the Street Dept provided a pump to remove this excess
water.
Mr. Quinn requested authorization to reimburse the City for their services, in

abandoned because of excavation for the City Hall Complex; and
1541
WHEREAS, in order to remove this excess water and not delay Burke Construction
Co., a new temporary line needed to be constructed due to the fact that the '

WHEREAS, during the excavation for this temporary line by the Street Dept.,
two more live sewer lines were found coming from the Andreson Bldg., that

NORTHWEST ARCADE STAIRWAY:
Approval was requested for a Change Order to Diffenbaugh's Contract for the
relocation and compaction of dirt in order that the stairway from the North-
west Arcade to the lower Penney Court can be poured. Penney Company has
required this modification to the plans.
The Members inquired about the Penney Company lease. Mr. Varner informed
the Members that on Tuesday, August 4th, a meeting was held in Los Angeles
between all of the parties involved in the mall tenancy, to work on the
finalization of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement. This Agreement will tie
all of the parties of the mall together for the duration of their occupancy.
Harris Company and Montgomery Wards will start construction before the
Penney Company. Penney Company proposes to start construction on or about
April 15, 1971. Everything is working out very well.
Diffenbaugh estimates that 1,250 cubic yards of dirt are needed for this
proposed stairway. He proposes to perform this service for $1,960. The
Contract Inspector, Krueger Engineering, estimates that only 7,000 to
1.,100 cubic yards of dirt are needed.

HENRY HENSCHEL DEVELOPMENT, PARCELS 23-32, CALIF. R-10:
Mr. Henry Henschel was presented to the Board. He stated that he does not know

mation within the next ten days.
Mr Henschel presented an estimated time schedule to the Members for his proposed
development. Mr. Wein stated that he would like to see something definite. He
further stated that it is his feeling that the soil conditions should be accepted
based on CHJ's letter stating that the soils underlying the proposed development
by Henry Henschel are typical of that general area of San Bernardino. He stated
that he would like to see a schedule setting forth the date escrow will open,
the date it will close, the date of start of construction and the completion
date. Mr. Henschel stated that he believed he could supply these dates by the

J..D. DIFFENBAUGH CONTRACT - REQUEST FOR TIME EXTENSION AND ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR DELAYS:
Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Loveday, representing J. D. Diffenbaugh Co., were presented
to the Members. A request for a time extension of 115 days to contract comple-
tion date was submitted, due to inclement weather and the Stop Notice of 107
days issued by the Agency. A further request for $200 per day for 21 days, for
a total amount of $4,200, because of project delay from June 17, 1970 until July
10, 7970 was also submitted.
Mr. Wein stated that on July 2, 1970, Mr. Varner, Mr. Quinn, and certain members
of the Board met at the mall with Mr. Diffenbaugh. At this meeting Mr. Diffenbaugh
informed them that the Agency could either issue a stop order on the portion of
the mall affected, or be billed $200 per day for every day the issue was left
unresolved. Because of this, the Agency immediately decided to issue the Stop
Order; therefore, he did not believe the request for $200 per day for 21 days
was warranted. All Members concurred in this statement.
Mr. Hawkins stated that by letter of May 29, 1970 to the Agency, he advised the
Agency that if Diffenbaugh didn't have a decision on the Change Order by June
11th the job overhead would be directly affected in an amount of $200 per day.
There was much discussion regarding the overhead costs involved because of the
delay. The Members again stated that Mr. Diffenbaugh had told them differently
at the meeting held July 2 at the mall, and on this basis they could not authorize
this expenditure.
Mr. Krueper was asked if he felt the request for 115 days time extension was
` reasonable. Mr. Krueper stated that he felt 90 days is ample time.
..1559_ __
Mr. Wein moved that an extension of 90 days be granted to Diffenbaughs contract,
and the claim for $200 per day for 21 days be referred to Agency Counsel for
review and recommendation. Mr. Varner recommended that the entire request
from Diffenbaugh be tabled until his review. Mr. Wein withdrew his motion.
Motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster to table the entire request
from J. D. Diffenbaugh until the next Regular Board Meeting. The motion was
carried by the following vote, to wit: Ayes: Wein, Webster and Austin Noes:
None Abstention: None Absent: Gutierrez
GRIGGS-NORWOOD, REQUEST FOR COMPENSATION ADDITIONAL SERVICES, ANTLERS HOTEL:
Mr. Austin stated that at the last Board h1eeting h1r. Norwood referred to a letter
dated June 9, 1970 stating that his firm would remove the debris from the Antlers
Hotel basement to a depth of about six feet. At this meeting the letter of
June 9th could not be found.
Mr. Quinn stated that upon careful review the letter of June 9th was located.
All members were furnished a copy of said letter. The Change Order authorizing
the removal of the basement was reviewed. Said Change Order did not specify a
definite depth, only that the basement would be removed.
Mr. Wein moved that the request from Griggs-Norwood for additional funds for the
removal of the Antlers Hotel basement be denied, in that the Change Order itself
did not specify a certain depth. Mr. Webster stated that he did not feel the
Agency should deny this request upon this basis, and he could not second the
motion.
Mr. Webster assumed the Chairmanship. Mr. Austin seconded the motion. The
motion was carried by the following vote, to wit: Ayes: Wein and Austin Noes;
Webster Abstention: None Absent; Gutierrez
Mr. Austin re-assumed the Chair..

GRUEN ASSOCIATES INC - CONTRACT SUPERVISION-THREE LEVEL PARKING STRUCTURE:
Messrs. George Reimer and Tony Borsa, representing Gruen Associates, were
presented to the Members. Mr. Reimer explained that the Contract between
the Agency and Gruen Associates for the three level parking structure is for
preliminary planning, working drawings, and specifications. It does not in-
clude Construction Administration. Gruen Associates propose to perform this
service for $23,500, which is one-third of the lump sum fee for the parking
structure.
The members were concerned about duplication of service between Gruen Asso-
ciates and our Contract Inspector, Krueper Engineering. Mr. Krueper assured
the Members that the services are different, and that an Architect Supervisor
is necessary. The different duties were explained and reviewed.
Mr. Austin stated that the contract for the Parking Structure was based upon a
letter proposal from Dan Branigan dated November 29, 1967. In this letter
proposal Mr. Branigan stated -- "An amount of $10,000 for construction adminis-
tration will be excluded from the Architect's fee." Mr. Austin stated that he
could not see why Gruen is now proposing $23,500 for the same service which
was previously quoted as $70,000. Mr. Reimer stated that he was not aware
of this letter and would have to review it with Mr. Branigan.
The Members discussed the necessity of having an Architect Supervisor on the
job prior to the next Board Meeting. Mr. Krueper stated that there should be
an Architect Supervisor on the job right away, or there would be a delay. Mr.
Wein asked if Gruen Associates would consider performing this service on an
hourly rate until the matter is resolved. Mr. Borsa stated that this could
be done. Gruen Associates would charge the Agency the actual cost of personnel
x 2.75 per hour.
Motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster to table the proposal of Gruen
Associates for Contract Supervision for the Three Level Parking Structure
until the second meeting in September, 1970, and authorizing Gruen to perform
said Contract Supervision services on an hourly basis until said contract
amount is resolved. The motion was carried by the following vote, to wit:
ayes: Webster, Wein and Austin Noes: None Abstention: None Absent: Gutierrez
Mr. Wein requested that the Agency obtain an estimate from Krueper Engineering
regarding the cost for Architectural Supervision.
Mr. Reimer stated that Mr. Branigan would be present at the meeting of Sep-
tember 17th to discuss this proposal with the Members.

HENRY S. HENSCHEL DEVELOPMENT, PARCELS 23-32, CALIF. R-10:
Mr. Henschel was presented to the Members. Mr. Henschel stated that a week ago
they received approval from FHA on the soil - with the use of piles. The plans
have been made to reflect the piles and are now in the City Building Department
and FHA for final approval.
Mr. Henschel presented a letter from M. H. Golden Construction Company stating
that the cost for the piling would be $77,257. Mr. Henschel requested conside-
ration of reimbursement of a portion of this cost for the piling. Mr. Henschel
also presented a circular from HUD, pointing out a section which stated "Available
sites are rough-graded and ready for construction with all public improvements
installed."
Mr. Wein pointed out the letter from CHJ Material Laboratory stating that the
soil underlying the proposed development by Henry Henschel are typical of that
general area in San Bernardino. He stated that based on this letter, he could
not agree to reimburse Mr. Henschel for any of the expense for piling.
Mr. Quinn stated that in September, 1969 Pacific Materials did a soil study for
Mr. Henschel. In their report they recommended piles. In May, 1970 FHA
stated that piles were necessary. Mr. Henschel stated that at a meeting he
attended with FHA they stated that spread footings were satisfactory. Mr. Austin
stated that our soil testing laboratory has stated that the soil is normal for
the area. Mr. Webster asked Mr. Varner if it would be the Agency's responsibility
1567
to deliver the land "ready for construction" as stated in the HUD circular.
Mr. Varner stated that it is the Agency's responsibility to correct aqy
condition that is not normal for the area; and therefore the Agency is not
responsible to pay part of the expenses to be incurred for the piling.
After further discussion and consideration, Mr. Wein moved in view of the soil
test from CHJ Materials Laboratory and the Soil Report recommending piles
from Pacific Materials, that the request for payment of a portion of the ex-
pense for said piles be denied. The motion was seconded by Webster. The
motion was carried by the following vote, to wit: ayes: Wein, Webster,
Gutierrez and Austin Noes: None Abstention: None Absent: None
Mr. Wein asked Mr. Henschel if he was still prepared to build his proposed develop-
ment in view of the denial of the Board. Mr. Henschel stated that he was.
The Members asked Mr. Henschel for definite dates for his development. After
review it was determined that escrow should open September 21, 1970; escrow should
close October 21, 1970; and construction should start November 15, 1970.
Mr. Henschel requested consideration of an extension of closing and construction
starting date, in the event his funds from FHA were delayed. Mr. Quinn stated
that because of the transition that is taking place in HUD he feels that a 30 day
extension of these dates should be allowed. Ail members agreed.
Mr. Wein stated that every month this development is delayed it costs the -
public $1,000 in taxes. Mr. Henschel agreed that in the event he is unable to
close escrow by November 21, 1970, he will be willing to pay the Agency $1,000
per month until escrow does close. The members accepted Mr. Henschel's offer.
The following resolution was introduced:

mined it to be to the best interest of the Agency and City of San Bernardino to
extend all dates of the Disposition Agreement;

J. D. DIFFENBAUGH CONTRACT - REQUEST FOR EXTENSION & ADDITIONAL FUNDS

GRUEN ASSOCIATES - CONTRACT SUPERVISION:
Mr. Jim Lim was presented to the Members. Mr. Lim apologized for his error in
submitting the $23,500 proposal for contract supervision for the three level
parking structure. He failed to research his files and therefore overlooked
the prior commitment of $10,000 which was based on 4.5% of the estimated cost
of construction of the parking structure. He stated that Gruen Associates
are prepared to honor their prior pnoposal. 4.5% of the actual cost of
construction is $97,335. $80,000 is already under contract for the preliminary
plans. The proposal for contract supervision is therefore $17,335 - the
difference between the $97,335 and $80,000.
Mr. Wein asked if it is the responsibility of the Contract Supervisor to
coordinate the work of the contractors/sub-contractors. Mr. Lim stated that
it is. Mr. Wein stated his concern about the expenses the Agency has incurred
because of poor coordination between contractors.
1569
Mr. Wein stated that the Agency incurred a $1,300 Change Order to Diffenbaugh's
Contract because Gruen Associates failed to detail expansion joints on their
plans. Cracks appeared in the interior plastered soffits. He stated that it
is his belief that Gruen Associates is responsible for this error and should
reimburse the Agency for this expense.
Mr. Lim stated that they did fail to note the expansion joints for the soffits
on their detailed drawings, but that he did not feel it was Gruen Associates
responsibility to incur the expense.
Mr. Wein stated that because of poor coordination (Contract Supervision) it is
now necessary for the Agency to order Diffenbaugh to discontinue all work in
the "E" Street Court, until Burke Construction Company has completed construc-
tion of the pedestrian bridge. The total estimated cost for this delay is
$9,600. Mr. Wein stated that if there had been proper coordination, this change
would not be necessary.
Mr. Lim stated that he attended a meeting with the contractors involved in the
"E" Street Court to try and coordinate this work. He stated that he was assured
at the conclusion of this meeting that Diffenbaugh and Burke would coordinate
their work so that ones work would not interfere with the others. He stated that
he did not feel Gruen Associates should be responsible because they did try to
coordinate the contractors. Mr. Wein asked if he received anything in writing from
Diffengaugh or Burke. Mr. Lim stated that he did not.
Mr. Wein stated that it is now necessary to remove the canopy on the Third Street
side of the Andreson Building to enable Burke Construction Company to construct
the bridge. This was not noted on the original plans, and now the Agency
realizes that it must be done.
Mr. Lim stated that the Andreson Building is an anticipating Owner Participant
and the time the plans were drawn, the owners agreed to remodel and bring their
building in accordance with the malls needs.
Mr. Wein stated that he would like to table this matter until someone from Gruen's
with the authority to discuss the reimbursement to the Agency for the expenses we
have incurred because of errors, can be presented. All members agreed. Motion
was made by Wein and seconded by Webster to table this matter until the next
regular meeting, in order that Mr. Dan Branigan can be present. The motion was
carried by the following vote, to wit: ayes: Webster, Wein, Gutierrez and Austin
Noes: None Abstention: None Absent: None
The Chairman directed the Agency Counsel to review Gruen's Contract regarding the
Error's and Omissions clause of their contract.
Mr. Austin asked Mr. Lim if he could attend the next Regular Meeting on behalf of
the Agency and J. D. Diffenbaugh regarding Diffenbaugh's request for an extension
of time and additional funds for delays. Mr. Lim stated that he would.
CHANGE ORDER N0. 9 - J. D. DIFFENBAUGH:
Mr. Austin stated that this Change is for the discontinuance of work on the
1570
"E" Street Court in order that Burke Construction can construct the pedestrian
bridge. Mr. Quinn stated that this has already been done, upon poling all the
Board Members by phone. The following resolution was introduced:

REMOVAL OF CANOPY ANDRESON BUILDING, CALIF. R-79:
Mr. Austin stated that three bids have been received for the removal of the
canopy on the Andreson Building, in order that Burke Construction can construct
the pedestrian bridge. The lowest bid wes received from Carel and Gregory in
the amount of $854.17. Mr. Webster asked Mr. Varner if there could be any
possible conflict of interest in this bid, in that City Councilman Norris Gregory
is a partner in this company. Mr. Varner stated that he could see no conflict
of interest. Mr. Wein asked if the Contract itself will provide for the finish-
ing of the building, so that it would not appear that a canopy was removed. Mr.
1571
Jones, Operations Officer, stated that all firms were aware that this is

of the City of San Bernardino will be utilized. However, in
absence of expertise or technical personnel the Redevelopment
Agency will look elsewhere for needed assistance.
B. HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
The Redevelopment Agency will implement Affirmative Action Program
for tenants selection to insure equitable ethnic minority home
ownership and rental opportunities. For each project a specific
goal will be established by the Redevelopment Agency and the
ethnic minority leadership to affect the aforementioned.
1573
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
The Redevelopment Agency, at the earliest possible date, will
inform the ethnic minority community, by way of best means possible,
of job opportunities that will be becoming available within the
near future, To the extent possible, the entire ethnic minority
community will be notified of the development of business facilities
and will be solicited for their involvement to partake in all
business ventures.
OFFER TO PURCHASE, HOTEL SITE:
Mr. Hal Smith was presented to the Members. Mr. Smith stated that he represents
Sunset San Bernardino Corporation. The corporation is now in the process of
being formed in Sacramento. This corporation proposes to build a 15 story,
150 - 225 room hotel on the corner of Third and "E" Streets. A rendering was
presented.
Mr. Wein stated that the Offer to Purchase contains quite a few contingencies.
Mr. Smith stated that the only major contingency is that of their obtaining a
feasibility study for the hotel. This Feasibility study should be ready within
two weeks. Their proposed tenant requires this study. Mr. Smith stated that
said proposed tenant has supplied them with a letter stating that if the
Feasibility Study shows that the site is feasible as to occupancy and size they
will enter into a lease. Mr. Smith stated that as soon as this study is ready
they will have no problems with going ahead on the escrow.
Mr. Wein asked Mr. Smith what relation he has with the firm. Mr. Smith stated
that he will be involved in the ownership of the hotel.
Mr. Wein pointed out that a Realtors Statement has been executed naming Mr.
Richard Prosser as realtor to receive the Finders Fee. Mr. Prosser was intro-
duced to the Members. Mr. Smith stated that it was Mr. Prosser who pointed the
site out to him. Mr. Prosser stated that he is putting several sites together
for the Sunset San Bernardino Corporation.
Mr. Quinn stated that Hal Smith has been in the office many times discussing
possible development of the hotel site. He did not meet Mr. Prosser until well
after Mr. Smith had been in the office discussing the site. He further stated
that until this meeting it had not been brought to his attention that Hal
Smith would be a partner in this Corporation. Mr. Quinn stated that up until
this meeting he had considered Mr. Smith and Mr. Prosser as working together
on behalf of the Agency to find a developer for the hotel site.
Mr. Varner stated that in view of Mr. Smith's statement that he will be involved
in the ownership of Sunset San Bernardino, a finders fee could not be paid.
If arty principal or prospective principal of a firm contacts the Agency regard-
ing a prospective site, a finders fee cannot be paid. A finders fee is paid
to someone who finds a developer for Agency property. Mr. Smith stated that he
has not invested arty money in the corporation. He is only a prospective owner,
and might not be able to become a partner. His name is not on the Public
Disclosure Statement submitted to the Agency.
1574
Mr. Glassock, Real Estate Manager, stated that he spoke to Hal Smith in February
or March of this year, generally about property in the west end. Some time
later Mr. Prosser and Mr. Smith came into the office and discussed the hotel
site and west end. Mr. Quinn was not introduced to Mr. Prosser until sometime
in July. It was at this time that he came in alone, and said that an offer
was coming in.
After further discussion, the members determined that the matter should be tabled
until the feasibility study is obtained by Sunset San Bernardino Corporation,
and a firm offer to purchase this parcel can be submitted. At this time the
matter of a finders fee can be resolved. Mr. Austin stated that the Agency
can table all offers to purchase this parcel until a certain date.
Motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster to table any and all offers to
purchase the hotel site until the first regular meeting in October, 1970. The
motion was carried by the following vote, to wit: Ayes: Wein, Webster,
Gutierrez, and Austin Noes: None Abstention: None Absent: None
OTHER BUSINESS:
California Theater - Mr. Varner stated that the California Theater has inquired
o t e City, i t ere would be any possibility of financing the remodeling of
their theater, in order that San Bernardino could have a performing arts theater
and convention center now. He further stated that he has met with Mayor Ballard
regarding the possibility of Agency assistance. The matter has been carefully
reviewed, and we are now working out a plan to submit to the board at a later
date, whereby, the Agency could render assistance by purchasing the building
and deeding it to the City. The City will then be provided with a performing
arts theater.
Messrs. Finwall and Jenks, representing the San Bernardino Civic Light Opera
Association, were presented to the Board. Mr. Finwall presented the rendering of
the remodeled California theater. He stated that there is a $732,000 balance
on their loan for the theater. $200,000 is needed to fully complete the remodeling
with provisions fora convention center. He stated that it is his belief that by
the time the City constructs the City Cultural Center, San Bernardino will need
two performing arts theaters, because of the proposed hotel, mall and other
facilities.
Mr. Varner stated that there is no action needed to be taken by the Board at this
time. Representatives from the San Bernardino Civic Light Opera Association will
be presented to the Council, and upon their determination, it could be presented
to the Agency for assistance. At that time it will be further reviewed and
brought back to the Board. Mr. Austin thanked Messrs Finwall and Jenks for their
presentation.

REPORT OF AGENCY COUNSEL:
Mr. Varner stated that he has nothing to report at this time.
J. D. DIFFENBAUGH - REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME AND ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR
CONTRACT DELAYS:
Mr. J. D. Diffenbaugh was presented to the Members. Mr. Diffenbaugh's request
is for 115 days extension to contract completion date, due to inclement weather
and the Stop Notice of 107 days issued by the Agency. A further request for
$200 per day for 21 days, fora total amount of $4,200, because of project
delay from June 11, 1970 until July 10, 1970 was also made.
1577
Mr. Wein stated that at a meeting held in the mall with Mr. Diffenbaugh on
July 2nd, the Agency was told that if it did not issue a stop order that
day, the Agency would be charged $200 per day for delays. Mr. Diffenbaugh
stated that apparently there was some misunderstanding. He actually meant
that the Agency was spending $200 per day, and would continue spending
this sum until the stop order is issued. Mr. Diffenbaugh further stated
that in his letter of May 29th to the Agency, he advised that if his firm
didn't have a decision on the Change Order by June 11th, the job overhead
would be directly affected in the amount of $200 per day.
Mr. Diffenbaugh's letter of May 29th was reviewed. The letter stated that
the work is scheduled to start no later than June 17, 1970. In the event
they do not receive the Change Order by June 11th, they will need a 90
day time extension. It further stated that an extension beyond the 90
day period would bear the project cost of $200 per day. The members
stated that it is their interpretation that the Agency had 90 days from
June 11th before the $200 per day penalty would incur.
Mr. Diffenbaugh stated that he would be willing to settle the matter
through arbitration. Mr. Varner suggested that a work-shop meeting be
scheduled to try to settle this matter, and if it cannot be resolved in
this manner, then arbitration proceedings could be started. All parties
agreed.
Motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster scheduling a work-shop
meeting to be held Tuesday, September 22, 1970, at 2:00 p.m., between -
all parties involved. The motion was carried by the following vote, to
wit: Ayes: Wein, Webster and Austin Noes: None Abstention: None Absent:
Gutierrez
RENTAL AGREEMENT - FIDELITY CAPITAL:
Mr. Quinn stated that Fidelity Capital has requested authorization to rent
a portion of Reuse Parcels 75, 16, 136 and 17, in order that they can

REVIEW OF BIDS - "E" STREET STORM DRAIN
Mr. Quinn explained that bids were solicited for the "E" Street Storm Drain.
An addendum was also submitted for the storm drain within the 3-level parking
structure site. Donavan Construction Company, contractor for the parking
structure, was requested to submit a bid for the storm drain within the 3-
level parking structure site. Their Figure was $32,910.47, plus $432 penalty
for every day of delay.
Bids were opened at 10:00 a. m. today for both of these storm drains. 0. B.
"Bud" Northington submitted the low bid of $43,879 for the "E" Street Storm
Drain and $22,648 for the 3-level parking structure storm drain. Mr. Varner
stated that he has examined the bid and it is in proper form. Mr. Quinn
further explained that if the Agency awards the contract to the low bidder
for both storm drains, we will still have a Change Order to Donavan for the
$432 per day penalty for his delays. Donavan Construction Company estimates
that the delay will be approximately 15 days or $6,480.
The Members were concerned as to why the storm drain was not installed prior
to the start of construction of the parking structure. Mr. Quinn explained
that Gruen's concept calls for the storm drain to be installed by others.
The City has requested that these storm drains be installed at this time.
Mr. Wein stated that Gruen Associates, as Contract Supervisor, should have
foreseen this problem and advised the Agency that this drain be put in prior
to start of the parking structure. Mr. Jones, Operations Officer, stated
that Mr. Jim Lim of Gruen Associates stated that he thought the storm drain
was already installed under the parking structure. All Members expressed
their concern of the lack of coordination. Mr. Wein requested that a list of
expenditures incurred because of errors be compiled in order that the Agency
can request clarification from Gruen regarding said errors. Mr. Quinn
stated that such a list will be prepared.
Mr. Wein stated that he would be in favor of awarding the 3-level contract
to the low bidder, provided a working agreement could be negotiated between
Northington and Donavan wherein no more than the 15 days would be lost to
Donavan's contract.
After further discussion and consideration, the following resolution was
introduced:

t e posse i ,ty of purchasing the California Theater and deeding it to
the City, in order that the City of San Bernardino could have the use of
a performing arts theater. HUD stated that this would be possible. Mr.

this plan, it will then come before our board for authorization to proceed
with negotiations with the Civic Light Opera Association to determine the
cost of purchase.

garding the California Theater and the proposed Cultural Center the City
will be constructing. The Council has determined there would be no con-

deposit being refundable if they are unsuccessful. This 90 day period is
needed to have the preliminary plans prepared. These plans are needed to
secure financing.
Mr. Webster pointed out that the corporation has withdrawn their designation
of Mr. Prosser as realtor to receive the finders fee. Mr. Prosser has
notified the Agency by letter that he will now have an interest in the
development.

that our standard Agreement allows for the deposit to be refundable, if the
developer shows proper effort in trying to obtain financing but is unable
to do so.

Mr. Webster stated that this is the first and only written offer the Agency
has received to purchase the Hotel Site, and he would like to encourage this
corporation, but authorizing the deposit to be refundable if financing cannot
be obtained within the 90 day period, less any costs incurred by the Agency
during this period regarding the sale. If the corporation requests an
extension of time beyond this 90 day period, the deposit could be retained
if they are still unsuccessful.

By
rman
ATTEST:
Secretary
Mr. Popham stated that he can guarantee the Agency that a bid within the
legal limits shall be submitted by a responsible bidder at a public sale.
Mr. Popham stated that the Agency would be unwise to wait until the full
six months to negotiate for long term notes. He stated that he could
guarantee long term notes now, if the Agency acts on this matter. His fee
far financial consultant would be 3/4 of lq.
Mr. Wein stated that the Agency already has a contract with the J. R. Norwitz
& Co. for financial consultant services. Mr. Varner explained that this con-
tract can be cancelled at any time, upon given notice. The Members expressed
that they would like to inform Mr. Norwitz of this offer, to see if he can
provide the Agency with a guarantee offer.
Mr. Popham stated that he was under the impression that our Financial Con-
sultant Contract with Norwitz & Co. had been cancelled. The members stated
that this is not so, and reviewed the file and contract with Mr. Popham.
The Members asked Mr. Popham if his offer would still stand, if the matter
was tabled for further study. Mr. Popham stated that if a meeting was held
next week some time, he believed he could still guarantee the bid.
After further discussion, motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster
to table the matter until an Adjourned Regular Meeting to be held Thursday,
October 8, 1970, at 4:00 p. m. The motion was carried by the following vote,
to wit: Ayes: Wein, Webster, Gutierrez and Austin Noes: None Abstention:
None Absent: None
Polic Re ardin Entertainment Ex enses - Mr. Wein stated that he and Mr.
We ster ave reviewe t e matter, an it is their recommendation, and his
motion that no Staff Member or Board Member should incur expenses against
the Agency for entertainment, without prior board approval. Mr. Webster
seconded the motion. The motion was carried by the following vote, to wit:

Storm Drain -Three Level Parking Structure Area - Mr. Austin stated that ~-.
a meeting was held with Mr. Parker, of 0. B. "Bud" Northington Construction
Co., and Donavan Construction Company, regarding the installation of the
storm drain within the 3-level parking structure area.
1598
The low bid for this storm drain, submitted at the last board meeting by
Northington was $22,648. Donovan's bid was $32,910.47 plus $432 per day
penalty for delays.
Mr. Lessley, of Donovan Construction, stated that if the Agency awards the
contract to Northington, the best way for his company would be to stop his
men, until Northington has completed their work in the area. In this way,
if any damages occur, there would be no dispute over the responsibility.
The Agency would be penalized $432 for every day their contract would be
delayed. Mr. Parker was asked how long it would take his firm to complete
the work. Mr. Parker stated that it would take at least two weeks to get
the material to begin with, and then about three weeks for the work itself.
Mr. Lessley further stated that his firm would accomplish the work for an
amount not to exceed $40,436.99, and an increase of 35 days to his contract
completion date. Mr. Parker stated that his bid for this work would have
to now be increased to approximately $26,000, in that he would have to
hire additional workers, and specified union employees other than his laborers
which he intended to use, because he would be working within another con-
tractor's area.
The Members determined that by the time the Agency would pay Northington his
figure of $26,000 and pay $432 per day for delays to Donovan, the net cost to
the Agency would be far greater than if Donovan was awarded the contract for
$40,436.99.
Mr. Parker stated that under the circumstances he would prefer that the
Contract be awarded to Donovan Construction Company, and therefore would
withdraw his proposal.
After further discussion, the following resolution was introduced:

RE: Tax Allocation Bonds
1607
Dear Mr. Austin:
I have been authorized to forward this letter of commitment to you for the
purchase of Agency Tax Allocation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $20
million dollars upon the following terms and conditions:
1. The interest yield will be 7% per annum and discount 4~ of par.
2. The bonds are to be dated May 1, 1971 and must have a Standard & Poore
rating of BBB or a Moody rating of BAA or better.
3. The bonds will nu3ture as follows:
1977 - $ 500,000
1978 - 600,000
1979 - 700,000
1980 - 800,000
1981 - 900,000
1982 - 1,000,000
76 million dollar issue
7983 - $1,100,000
1984 - 1,200,000
1985 - 1,400,000
1986 - 1,600,000
1987 - 1,800,000
1988 - 2,000,000
1989 - 2,400,000
We hope and will, of course, expend extensive efforts as your consultants to
obtain improved terms prior to the bid date in May should market conditions
improve. Looking hopefully to a long term gradual improvement in the market,
we have adjusted this commitment to reflect maturities linked to recall options,
there affording the opportunity to refinance several years hence. Considerable
savings in interest cost may result from exercise of this provision in an im-
proved market. The Agency also nay wish to exercise this flexibility in rela-
tion to its own future issues for other anticipated projects.
This commitment is binding on a sale of bonds in a private placement and is
conditional upon the approving opinion of bond counsel selected by us and the
appointment of us as consultants to the Agency as proposed in our previous
letter of October 1, 1970.
It is requested that in order to avoid giving undue advantage to other potential
underwriters as well as disadvantage to ourselves and those participating in our
syndication that this letter be treated as confidential.
MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL ADVISERS, INC.
s/Walter F. Ro ers
Wa ter F. Rogers, resident
AHN/dd
Mr. Webster asked Mr. Rogers how long he has been in the investment business.
Mr. Rogers stated that he has been in the business eleven years, but that P
Municipal Financial Advisers Inc. has only been formed for three weeks. Mr.
Webster asked Mr. Rogers if his firm is licensed. Mr. Rogers stated that no
license is required for a financial consultant firm.
1602
The Members discussed the interest rate of 7% per annum and the discount of 4%
of par. Mr. Rogers stated that 7% is the allowable maximum rate by law. He
further stated that if the issue was for a shorter period of time, rather than
the 18-19 years, the discount rate would be less.
Mr. Quinn stated that our $10,500,000 promissory notes are callable February
15, 1971. The Agency has six months from the date to pay back the loan. If the
Agency paid back the loan in May (the date the proposed bond will be dated) we
would be obligated to pay the balance of the years interest. The alternative
would be to hold the money until the payoff date, therefore we would be earning
interest on the money and would not be penalized.
The Members asked htr. Rogers what the callable provision would be on his bonds.
Mr. Rogers stated that his bonds would have a penalty provision if called before
maturity of 1/4 of 1% per year, subject to a maximum of 3%. He further stated
that his bonds would be called in reverse order, i. e. the bond having the latest
maturity date being called first.
The Members asked Mr. Rogers if the bonds could be extended for a 20 year period
instead of the 18 years. Mr. Rogers stated that this could be done. The matu-
rity schedule would be modified to reflect the 20 years.
The h1embers asked who would be responsible for obtaining the bond rating. h1r.
Rogers stated that his firm, as consultants, would be responsible for getting
the rating for the Agency. It would cost the Agency approximately $5,000 for
this rating.
The Members asked why the proposal is for $16,000,000. Mr. Quinn stated that
the Agency needs $10,500,000 to pay back the promissory note, plus an additional
amount for prefunded interest and additional expenses. The Members determined
that the Agency actually would only need approximately 12~ or 13 million. Mr.
Rogers stated that if this is the Agency's desire, his proposal can be modified
and the maturity figures could be reduced by approximately 20%. Upon review
of the Tax Projection Schedule the Members determined these figures more
desirable.
Mr. Austin stated that the proposal states that bond counsel shall be selected
by Municipal Financial Advisers. Mr. Rogers stated that the firm he proposes
to use is located in San Francisco and has been in business for 10 years. The
h1embers stated that the Agency has a contract with O't4elveny and Myers as bond
counsel. Mr. Varner stated that in the past it has been the Agency's obligation
to designate a bond counsel, and that he would be opposed to giving a consul-
tant the complete control of selection of bond counsel. Mr. Rogers stated that
his proposal would be modified to reflect that the bond counsel will be mutually
agreed upon by both the Agency and consultant.
Mr. Rogers was asked how much capital Municipal financial Advisers has. Mr.
Rogers stated $2,500.
Mr. Varner asked Mr. Rogers if his firm would be legally able to sign an
Underwriting Agreement, if the Agency accepts his proposal. Mr. Rogers stated
that Municipal Advisers does not have a license to sign an Underwriting Agree-
ment at this time. Mr. Varner stated that he questions the legality of the
1603
board entering into an Agreement with a company having no authority to sign an
Underwriting Agreement, and he therefore wishes to advise the Agency that if
the proposal is accepted, they might be entering into a contract that is
illegal. Mr. Rogers stated that his firm would apply for a license to sign
an underwriting agreement, if this is required by the Agency.
The Chairman introduced Mr. Jerry Narwitz, President of J. R. Narwitz & Co.,
to the Board. for. Narwitz stated that his firm is licensed to sign an Under-
writing Agreement, and that his firm maintains sufficient net capital to
honor their commitments.
Mr. Varner stated that at the last Board Meeting, held October 1, 1970, there
was some indication given from P4r. Popham's presentation regarding where the
funds for the $10,500,000 Promissory Note were raised. Mr. Narwitz stated that
his firm raised all of the funds for this issue.
Mr. Narwitz presented the Chairman with a proposal for commitment. Said pro-
posal is as follows:

San Bernardino, California
Gentlemen:
As I have stated in various public meetings and to some of you individually,
it is imperative that your reputation in so far as financing institutions
are concerned does not become questionable. Of prime importance in maintain-
ing a good reputation is the unity and unanimous support of your Board of
Oirectars.
We have been successful in obtaining support for your Agency from various
nationally recognized financial institutions. We placed $10,500,000 par
value, one-year negotiable promissory notes on extremely short notice, and some
of these same people will invest in your long-term bonds.
We believe that the enclosed guaranteed underwriting reflects the present
standing of your Agency, and we feel very strongly that any tampering with
that standing would be extremely unwise.
Very truly yours,
J. R. NARWITZ & CO.

San Bernardino, California
Gentlemen:
In light of the recent developments regarding long-term bonds to refinance
$70,500,000 negotiable promissory notes issued by your Agency August 15, 1970,
we felt it was necessary to provide you with a conenitment from major financial
institutions.
It should be understood that the following commitment is only a form of guaran-
tee, as it is still our intent to go to public sale with an official statement
in order to provide the Agency with the lowest net interest cost and best terms
available at the time of the refunding.
As Financing Consultant to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Ber-
nardino, we have been instrumental in forming a syndicate to purchase your
long-term bonds. The undersigned group has authorized J. R, Narwitz a Co.,
a California Corporation, to submit the following commitment:
The undersigned hereby agrees to purchase approximately $15,000,000 par
value, tax allocation bonds of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San
Bernardino, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Bonds shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed 7% per annum.
2. We will purchase the bonds at a price reflecting no greater dis-
count than the maximum allowable by law.
3. We will pay accrued interest to the date of delivery of these bonds.
4. The term of the bonds shall be mutually agreed on by the Agency and
the purchasers through the Agency's Financing Consultant.
5. A legal opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel attesting to
the legality of proceedings and validity of issuance shall be fur-
nished the undersigned at no expense. This legal opinion must be
from bond counsel acceptable to the underwriters.
6. This commitment is contingent uppon the ussuance of rating by Moody's
Investors Service of at least "Baa", and/or a Standard & Poor's rating
of not less than "BBB".
7. The undersigned reserve the right to accept delivery of these bonds
on any legal date prior to February 15, 1971.
8. Recognizing the vagaries of the municipal bond market, and this firm
commitment notwithstanding, we reserve the right to enter a competi-
tive bid at public sale.
1605
As Financing Consultant to the Redevelopment Agency, and as Agent for the
below listed group, we recommend you accept this guarantee and authorize us to go
to public sale by passing the appropriate resolutions and signing a copy of
this letter for our files.
Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Narwitz stated that the Agency should obtain financing for long term bonds
for a period of 25-30 years, instead of 20. He stated that the proposal amount
will be for less if it is desired by the Agency. The interest rate is stated
at 7%, and hopefully less at public sale. The Agency must pay for a Legal
Opinion from a Bond Counsel acceptable to the underwriters. He further stated
that O'Melveny and Myers is acceptable to his firm. He stated that his firm
will pay accrued interest until date of delivery of the funds. The rating will
be obtained by his firm at no charge to the Agency.
Mr. Quinn explained that if this proposal is accepted and the Agency after public
sale obtains the funds in February, we will have the alternative of calling our
$10,500,000 Promissory Note and paying the 1% penalty, or depositing the funds
in a special account, designated for the payment of the note, until the maturity
date. The manner best for the Agency will be determined on the percentage invest-
ments are earning vs. the 1% penalty.
Mr. Narwitz stated that F.I.DuFont is the second largest lending institution in
the nation, with a net capital of $150,000,000. He distributed a copy of DuPont's
Financial Statement.
Mr. Wein suggested that a decision on this matter be tabled until the next Board
Meeting. Mr. Rogers stated that the proposal submitted by J. R. Narwitz & Co.
is excellent, and he would recommend that the Agency accept it.

UNDERGROUND OBSTRUCTIONS - UNIT N0. 14, THREE-LEVEL PARKING STRUCTURE:
The following memorandum and letters of support were submitted to the Members
regarding the underground obstructions found in the area of the three-level
parking structure;
T0: Executive Director
FROM: Operations Department
SUBJECT: Underground obstructions, Unit No. 74, 3 level parking structure
Per Board request, attached is a letter from C.H.J. Materials Laboratory, Inc.
which outlines their findings when inspection was performed on the subsurface
obstruction in the area of the 3 level parking structure.
Also attached is a letter from Krueger Engineering Associates with an estimated
price for removal of debris in the location.
Because of the opinion outlined in the two (2) attached letters, this Department
did not contact Donovan Construction Company regarding a figure for removal of
present soil or replacement and compact with satisfactory material.
However, my telephone conversation with Mr. William E. Lessley this date re-
vealed that his opinion regarding the obstruction in the three (3) level park-
ing area was the same as CHJ and Krueper Engineering. Mr. Lessley indicated
that the best way he felt to handle the obstruction would be on a time and
material basis.
He informed me that as of this date his company was not claiming for any de- ,
lays because of the obstruction, however, he has planned to canplete drilling
and pouring pile in this area by Friday, October 23, 1970. Therefore, he
must have a decision by Friday, October 16, 1970 as his company will then ask
for delay as of that date.
1614
Request instructions as to the route we are to take: 1. Should this Agency re-
move, replace and compact the soil at this time, or 2. Should the soil re-
main as is at present time and the alternate solution of installing structural
slabs on spread footings when the buildings are constructed as outlined in
attached letters.

Redevelopment Agency for the Re: "Obstructions"
City of San Bernardino Unit N14, Parking
323 Court Street Structure
San Bernardino, California
Attention: Mr. f. "Jay" Jones, Operations Officer
Dear Sir:
I have made a detailed, careful inspection of the subsurface obstructions en-
countered during excavation for pile caps and grade beams for Unit No. 14,
Parking Structure.
Some of the Obstructions encountered, primarily in old Court Street, are
concrete encased utility lines. This letter does not pertain to these
obstructions.
In the area fronting on "E" Street the obstructions consist primarily of brick
footings, utility tines and a layer of conglomerate debris. The layer of
debris, at a distance, appears to be a concrete slab. This layer actually con-
sists primarily of broken and crushed plaster containing bits of wood, glass
tile, brick, square nails, etc., and appears to be the remnants of some prior
demolition. To the best of nU' knowledge, square nails such as those found
have not been in common usage for over forty-five years. Much of the mortar
used in the brick footings consists of a sand-lime mix. This type mortar has
also not been in use for many years.
It is my opinion, and the opinion of Mr. Krueper, that the major portion of
the obstructions encountered in this area is from some precious construction
and not from the buildings recently demolished. The type of debris, the manner
in which it is present and the presence of the previously mentioned material
lend support to this conclusion.
It was the initial opinion of both Mr. .Krueper and myself that complete removal
of this material would be necessary to assure adequate support for the tenant
stores. After considerable thought and discussion we would like to suggest
that an alternate solution be considered. Support for the tenant stores could
be obtained by deep conventional spread footings extended to the firm soils
underlying the debris. In most cases this would be approximately five feet
1615
below the existing grade. Footings thus established could be designed for a ' "
bearing value of 1,000 pounds per square foot. The floor slabs could then
be designed as structural slabs with two way reinforcing which should span
weak subgrade conditions. We believe that under the present conditions this
solution would cause the least disruption to present work and entail consi-
derable less expense.
Please contact us if we may be of any further assistance.
Very truly yours,

Re: Underground Obstructions in Vicinity of 3-Level
Parking Structure
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to our letter of September 23, 1970, concerning the under-
ground obstructions which have been encountered within the general construc-
tion site of the 3-level parking structure construction. Reference is also
made to the interoffice memorandum from for. Jay Jones, Operations Officer to
Mr. Pete Quinn, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency concerning the
subject problem. At the request of Mr. Jones, our office was requested to
review the site again and to volunteer comments on corrective measures and
estimated costs.
As was mentioned earlier, our concern centered around two conditions which
would result from these obstructions. These include:
1. Interference with construction of the 3-level Parking Structure.
2. Differential settlement of future "Tenant Stores" facing on "E"
Street (buildings "H" and "J" on Gruen's design.)
Since the piling should penetrate deeper then the obstructions foreign
material in the ground the stability of this parking structure would be
gained chiefly by the soil conditions deep down. What may happen, however,
1616
would be the Contractor (Donovan Construction Co.) requesting relief from delays
and added costs in either working around or removing the particular obstructions
directly in the area of pile, pile cap and grade beam work. No estimate can be
given this charge, should it occur, since the excavation is still taken place
and not all the interference has been encountered as yet.
The stability of the future stores under the garage structure, which normally
would be of a conventional "footing and slab on grade" construction, could be
affected should settlement take place once the overburden weight of the store
is superimposed on the existing ground. Mr. Jack Riddell and the undersigned
have reviewed this to assist the Agency in arriving at a suggested solution.
The most expedient, from a design standpoint, as well as eliminating delays for
the present contractor, would be provision for a "spread-type footing" and a
2-way reinforced slab for these stores when they are constructed to bridge the
unfavorable area.
Should the Agency decide on removing the undesirable materials, a depth of
excavation realistically would have to be considered at five feet with some
isolated areas deeper, depending upon the obstacles encountered. The following
cost estimate is volunteered for removal of the present soil and foreign material
and replacement with a completed base, satisfactory for normal construction:
Approximate floor area of buildings Hand J combined = 25,000 sq. ft.
Extra side area contiguous to building = 7,500 sq. ft.
Total area involved (Minimum) '}'F,T~G ,sq, ft.
Conversion to cubic yards with 10% soil shrinkage and

REPLACEP1ENT OF XEROX l~1ACHINE:
1E23
f1r. Quinn stated that it is the Agency's responsibility for the moving expense
of the Xerox machine to our new Agency offices in the Andreson Building. An
updated Xerox Copier No. 3600 III would cost the Agency comparibly the same
amount as the present Copier No. 2400, and the Agency would not have to pay
for its installation. The Members determined that it would be to their best
advantage to cancel present rental of the Xerox 2400, and update this equip-
ment with the 3600 model, thereby saving the Agency for the moving expense.
After discussion, the following resolution was introduced:
RESOLUTION N0. 2309

BRIDGE CONNECTION - J. C. PENNEY COMPANY:
Mr. Quinn introduced the representatives from the Penney Company -- Mr. Ed.
Smolenski, Real Estate Department; Mr. Roy Etnyre, Construction Services;
and Mr. Al DeGuglielmo, Architect. Mr. Lim, Gruen Associates, was introduced. P
1624
Mr. Quinn explained that at the time the plans for the 3-level parking structure,
including the pedestrian bridge which will connect to the Penney Company Build-
ing, were prepared, Penney Company did not have their plans and interior lay-out
finalized. Due to modifications in their interior lay-out, their building was
moved westerly 7'4", causing a need also to modify the pedestrian bridge.
Mr. Quinn stated that he instructed Gruen Associates to offer the Agency a rough
cost estimate for this bridge modification. The cost estimates for this work
were provided by Donovan Construction in the amount of $12,000 for the necessary
construction work, and $2,000 by Gruen for design and engineering.
There was much discussion regarding the responsibility for the cast of this
modification. Mr. Lim stated that Gruen Associates had to make certain assump-
tions in preparing their plans for the parking structure and bridge, in that
Penney Company did not have their final layout plans. Mr. Smolenski stated
that ordinarily the tenant stores are constructed before the mall. This eliminates
any changes in mall/parking structure construction. After much discussion, the
members determined the situation unique, and that the fault should not be borne
entirely by one party. Mr. Wein stated that he believed the cost should be shared
between the Penney Company and the Agency. Mr. Smolenski stated that he would
recommend to his company to pay 50%, or a maximum of $8,000, for the cost of this
modification. After further discussion, the following resolution was introduced:
RESOLUTION N0. 2310
RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING AN EXPENDITURE
OF 50% OF THE COST OF MODIFICATION TO PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
CONNECTING 3-LEVEL PARKING STRUCTURE TO PENNEY COMPANY
BUILDING
WHEREAS, the working drawings for the 3-level parking structure included a
pedestrian bridge to connect with the proposed Penney Company building; and
WHEREAS, due to modifications to the interior lay-out of the Penney Company
building, said building was moved westerly 7'4"; and
WHEREAS, this westerly move and interior design of said Penney Company build-
ing required modifications to said pedestrian bridge; and
WHEREAS, said 3-level parking structure construction contract has been let,
and the contractor has been constructing said structure. Said modification
requires an expenditure of additional funds; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the cost of said modification will not exceed
$16,000; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Edmond Smolenski, of the Penney Company, has verbally agreed
to recommend to his company to pay 50% of the cost of the modification, not
to exceed $8,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
San Bernardino, California, that an expenditure of 50% of the cast of modifi-
1625
cation to the pedestrian bridge connecting the Penney Company building to the
3-level parking structure is hereby authorized. Said amount not to exceed
$8,000.00.
Adopted: 11-5-70
Motion was made by Wein and seconded by Webster

Mr. Varner asked Mr. Smolenski if he could give the Agency verbal approval of the
Legal Description for the Penney Company buildings to be included in the REA. Mr.
Smolenski stated his approval, subject to possible revisions by their New York
Office.
Mr. Smolenski stated that it is bad merchandising practice to have stairs on
the pedestrian bridge instead of a ramp. The Members requested that this pos-
sible change be reviewed and brought back to the board for comment.
GRUEN ASSOCIATES - REA EXHIBIT:
Mr. Quinn stated that in order to complete the REA documentation, Penney Company ,~
and Montgomery Wards are insisting on a detailed site plan reflecting parking

CHANGE ORDER STORM DRAIN:
The Members were presented with a memorandum from the Operations Officer regarding
a proposed Change Order to Northington's Storm Drain Contract.
Said Memorandum informed the members that during the construction of the 30" storm
line on "E" Street, the alignment was changed by Garner, Tee, Tracadas and Troy to
avoid conflict with the telephone company cable. While digging in the area of
Third and "E" Streets, debris was discovered. While removing this debris, a large
cave in occured and exposed a 12" water main. The Water Department shut off the
water main to avoid a possible break. Because of this new alignment, the storm
drain line would be within 2' of the water line. The Water Department requested
that the water line be replaced due to the movement of the line. This work is now
being done under the existing Water Department Contract.
In order to alleviate any possible cave in near the construction of the pedestrian
bridge, the Contractor was ordered to skip the 60' section beneath the bridge and
continue the laying of pipe up to Court Street. After the pedestrian bridge is
poured the contractor would return and complete this section. Northington has
agreed to perform this service for an amount not to exceed $4,992.73.
The City has requested that all work on "E" Street be completed before the holidays.
In order to accomplish this Class III concrete in lieu rof CT ass TI concrete is being
substituted for the pedestrian bridge. This substitution will allow the shoring
to be removed in 14 days after pouring instead of 28 days. The construction
of the bridge should be complete by November 16th. This will allow Northington to
complete his work in this area before the holidays.
After discussion, the following resolution was introduced

WHEREAS, the Agency has entered into Contract with 0. B. Northington, Inc.,
on October 27, 1970; and
WHEREAS, during the construction of the 30" storm line on "E" St., the alignment
was changed by Garner, Tee, Tracadas and Troy from 12' west of the center line
to 10' west of the center line to avoid a conflict with the telephone company coaxial
cable. While digging in the area of Third and "E" Streets, the area 3' below the
surface was found to be saturated with large cobble stones, sand, and wood debris.
In the process of removing the aforementioned debris, a large cave in occurred
and exposed the 72" water main. The Water Dept. immediately shut off the water
main to avoid a possible break that could cause flooding of the area. Because of
1627
this new alignment, the storm drain line would be withirc 2' of the water line.
The Water Dept. informed this Agency that the water line would have to be re-
placed in this area due to the movement of the line. This work is being done
under the existing Water Dept. Contract with this Agency; and
WHEREAS, in order to alleviate any possible cave in near the construction of the
pedestrian bridge, the Contractor was ordered to skip the 60' section beneath
the bridge and continue the laying of pipe up to Court Street. The Contractor
would, after the pedestrian bridge is poured and shoring removed, return and
complete this section of pipe. Because of the above mentioned problem, the
Contractor notified this Agency of the extra charges that would be involved
due to extra work, cost of additional pipe and an additional move in cost
to complete the required work in the area of the pedestrian bridge; and
WHEREAS, becuase of the required
poured on the pedestrian bridge,
in "E" Street, CHJ Materials Lab
to substitute Class III concrete
stitution will allow the shoring

Concrete Company by Purchase Order; and -
WHEREAS, 0. B. Northington, Inc., has agreed to perform the above mentioned

"E" STREET COURT CHANGE ORDER - DIFFENBAUGH:
Mr. Quinn advised that in order for the pool to work properly, and be operational
when the "E" Street Court is complete, the following should be installed before
the final finish work is completed by Diffenbaugh:
1. Install electrical panels and conduit runs from equipment pit to the pool.
2. Install pool filtering equipment, including necessary plumbing and drain lines.
1628
Mr. Quinn explained that this work is not additional work, it is just being done
ahead of originally anticipated date. It was originally scheduled to be completed
when the interior of the mall is to be landscaped by Lynesch and Reynolds.
Mr. Krueger, Contract Inspector, strongly requested that a sump pump and exhaust
fan also be installed.
The total bid for this work from J. D. Diffenbaugh is not to exceed $19,319.60.
Mr. Quinn further stated that Mr. Mel Harris has requested that the "E" Street
Court pool be enlarged from 15' diameter to 22', in order to provide a place
for his proposed "Fountain in Programmed Motion". Mr. Quinn stated that Gruen
Associates feels that if the pool is enlarged it will be the best place for
this sculpture, but if the sculpture is not donated for the mall, the pool
will still have a good esthetic appearance. Diffenbaugh has proposed a sum
of $1,280 to enlarge this pool.
Mr. Gutierrez stated that the Agency does not have any definite agreement from
Mr. Harris that the sculpture will be donated, and until the Agency does receive
such a committment be does not feel the Agency should expend $1,280 to enlarge
this pool. All Members agreed.
Mr. Webster requested that Mr. Harris be invited to attend a future meeting to
present the model of the propasedsculpture to the Board.

Board of Directors
Redevelopment Agency of

323 Court Street
San Bernardino, California 92407
Gentlemen:
This is to inform you of the intention of The Harris Company to pay for the
additional cost of widening of the pool located in the Plaza between the
Andreson Building and Harris', to accommodate a sculptured Fountain. It
is our understanding that this cost of widening the pool to 24 feet will
be $7300, which will be payable upon demand.
The purpose of this is to make possible the housing of a beautiful
sculptured Fountain in Programmed Motion, by one of California's fine
sculptors. It is my understanding that there are no funds available
to provide this work of art through the Agency, and therefore I would
be willing to head a committee of community leaders to undertake a
fund raising effort in the community as a memorial to one of San
Bernardino's great citizens to provide the funds fora most attractive
piece of art for the reflection pool.
You no doubt are aware of the outstanding sculpture acquired for the
Fresno California Mall by private citizens who raised $184,000 for the
fine art program.
If your Board will authorize the above action, I will be most happy to
make a presentation to you of the preliminary work that has been done
on this Fine Arts Project and to familiarize you with the works of John
Arthur Augsburger, the Architectural Sculptor.
1639
Looking forward to a favorable answer, I remain
Very truly yours,
s/Melville D. Harris
Mel vi e D. Harris
Vice President
Mr. Austin stated that the architect has advised him that even if the
sculpture is not donated, the e~ arged fountain will complement the mall.

OTHER BUSINESS:

Regular Board Meetings to be held in the Andreson Building beginning in
December, 1970. The telephone company will not be able to install the
telephone system until after December 25th. The following resolution was
introduced:

will be held in our new offices in the Andreson Building.
Engineerinq Proposals
Mr. Austin stated that the American Society of Professional Engineers has
instructed any engineers in San Bernardino that if they submit a proposal
for work on a bid-basis, that they would be subject to losing their license.
The Agency is in need of receiving bids for the guniting of Warm Creek
Channel. Mr. Austin stated that he contacted Arrowhead Engineering re-
garding their stand. Arrowhead Engineering stated that they would perform
the work under the same hourly rate as their present contract, and handle
same as a change order to their contract.
Mr. Wein stated that he would like to know exactly what a job is going
to cost. On the hourly basis the Agency does not know the cost until
the job is finished.
1641
In order to increase minority participation in our project, Mr. Austin
suggested seeking bids from minority contractors. These contractors '"
would probably be outside of the San Bernardino area.
The Members determined that if the Agency must seek proposals for
engineering work outside of the City of San Bernardino, in order to
receive a definite price, then our policy of inviting proposals shall
change. In the past proposals have been sought from San Bernardino
firms only.
Owner Participation, Allied Properties
Mr. Varner stated that we have not received the executed Owner Participation
Agreement with Allied Properties. The attorney for the purchasing owners
has advised him that their escrow will close shortly. If we do not receive
the Owner Participation Agreement with Allied Properties before the escrow
closes, we will enter an OP Agreement with the new owners.
Real Estate Acquisition
Mr. Quinn stated that Real Estate Acquisition in the Central City Project
is complete. Approximately $19,200,000 was the original figure set up in
the budget for this acquisition. Our acquisition completion only ran $339
over this original estimate---this is a very good accomplishment.
Minority Participation
Mr. Webster advised the Members that a Minority Advisory Committee has
been formed within the area. Their goal is to act as a spokesman for
the desires and needs of the minority community. The Members stated that
they would consider any request made by this committee.

This document deals with the many complex problems and covers all of the miscell-
aneous agreements that are required when a shopping center is formed and a number
of major stores enter into the development. Starting and completion dates of
all developments are set forth in this document. This document in no way makes
anv changes in the obligations the Agency has already undertaken, nor in any way
changes the Redevelopment Plan or any of the Disposition Agreements. The document
is for the benefit of each of the parties entering into the development in the
mall area. It is not a public document until all parties have approved and executed
the agreement. Except for the City of San Bernardino, the Agency will be the last
to sign the agreement.
Mr. Varner and Mr. Ouinn stated that in view of the many different situations
involving each company and that since each company had its own development proce-
dures, the document had taken some time to negotiate and complete. For example,
J. C. Penney Co. and Montgomery Wards are involved in developments through the
United States. They have uniform procedures that generally must be followed.
Accordingly, these procedures are included in the REA and in part dictate many
of the terms of the agreement. The document provides for all stores to start
shortly after the first of the year. Penney's is scheduled to start last.
1643
Mr. Varner commended all of the parties to the Agreement for their efforts in
bringing the Agreement to final form.
Mr. Varner stated that he and Mr. Quinn have thoroughly reviewed the REA'and he
would recommend approval as submitted. If it is approved by the Board, it
should be handcarried to all the parties involved far their approval and
signature. If no revisions are made, and the document is executed by all
parties, he would recommend execution by the Agency. If there are revisions
made by the other parties involved, the document should be brought back to
the Agency for its approval of said revisions. After execution by all parties
and the Agency, it will be sent to the City for execution.
After full discussion, Mr. Webster introduced the following resolutions:

Mr. Quinn stated that a Certificate of Substantial Completion has been executed
by Gruen Associates. Board action is now needed to accept the mall as sub-
stantially complete. It is the staffs recommendation to authorize the execution
and filing of a Certificate of Substantial Completion, and retain the retention
until all exceptions are taken care of. There are some minor things that
must be taken care of, the retention will more than take care of these items.
A list of the items mentioned were provided the members.
Mr. We in asked why the certificate must be executed now, instead of after final
completion. Mr. Quinn explained that the Plans and Specifications provide that
before final acceptance, a Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be
executed. After this Certificate is filed, 35 days are allowed for filing of
any liens by contractors or sub-contractors. Providing no liens are filed,
the retention is then paid to the Contractor. The possible Taber Plumbing
lien was discussed.
Mr. Riemer, Gruen Associates, stated that it is Gruen's opinion that the job
has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with the
exception of the listed items. He stated that there is an approximate year
guarantee on all materials, and longer on some equipment.
Mr. Krueper, Contract Inspector, stated that he has completed his inspection on
the mall. He stated that the withholding of the retention is more than enough
to cover the minor items listed to be completed. He stated that he has checked
with the City Building Department and that Krueper Engineering and the City
are satisfied that the job has been accomplished in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications.
The credits for the non-completion of the central portion of the mall, due to
the raising of the Penney Company roof was discussed. Bids will be received
on January 78th for the completion of this portion of the mall. Materials are
left on site, which materials shall be utilized by the low bidder. The bid
documents specify the use of this material, which is mainly matching tile,
brick, etc., therefore some additional material must be supplied by the bidder,
and accounted far on the bid.
Mr. Jones, Operations Officer, stated that proposals for insurance for the mall
will be available by the next board meeting. If the mall is accepted today,
a binder will be put on our present insurance policy to cover the mall immediately,
until the proposals are received and a specific policy purchased for the mall.
Mr. Varner stated that in view of the representations made by Gruen Associates
and Krueper Engineering, he would recommend adoption of a resolution authorizing
execution and filing of a Certificate of Substantial Completion on the Central
City Mall, with the exceptions as submitted.
