Airport Authority ,IqAe > January 4, 1999 Mr. Fred Wilson, City Administrator City of San Bernardino 300 North"D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 RE: LOCAL AREA MILITARY BASE RECOVERY ACT (LAMBRA) APPLICATION Dear Mr. Wilson: At the regularly scheduled meeting of the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) held on December 9, 1998,the Board adopted a Resolution No. 98-23 authorizing the IVDA to submit an application for a Local Area Military Base Recovery Act Designation. AB 3 (BACA) authorized the California Trade & Commerce Agency to solicit applications for three (3) Local Area Military Base Recovery Act(LAMBRA) designation zones in the State of California. The LAMBRA program was developed to aid communities impacted by closure or downsizing of Federal military installations which have approved reuse plans for former bases. The LAMBRA program provides tax credits, relaxes regulatory and permitting processes and directs creation of local incentives to benefit employers locating their business on closed military bases. The Trade & Commerce Agency had previously designated five (5)LAMBRA zones throughout the State of California. In order to facilitate the IVDA's LAMBRA application and demonstrate support from the surrounding communities, I hereby respectfully request on the behalf of the IVDA's Board that your City approve a resolution, recommending that the IVDA submit an application to the California Trade & Commerce Agency for LAMBRA designation at the former Norton Air Force Base. We have included a draft resolution as a guide in the preparation of your support for this designation. Since there is a very tight timeline in the application process, we request that you have a copy of your approved resolution sent to our Clerk of the Board, Penny Chua, at 294 S. Leland Norton Way, San Bernardino, CA 92408, no later than February 17, 1999. 294 5,Leland Norton way,suite#1 • san Bernardino,CA 92408 • (909)3824100 • Fax(909)382-4106 ennall:ivoaceee.org • http://www.eee.org/bus/ivoa Mr. Wilson Page two January 4, 1999 I hope that the San Bernardino City Council will support the passage of this resolution. This is a designation that will help not only the existing businesses at the San Bernardino International Airport and Trade Center, but will also be used as an incentive to attract other companies that are looking to locate in this area. The designation,if approved, will definitely have a positive impact on your City. Thank your continued cooperation.
