CITY OF SAN BERNAr )INO - REQUEST FOi COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
PROBLEM:
The scheduled opening of the "SB World Trade Center& International Airport" (formerly Norton
AFB) to through-traffic at the completion of the road project (scheduled for October 19, 1995)
will allow public access to the facility. The Resource Protection Force (RPF) currently has no
authority to enforce Municipal Code infractions such as loitering, drinking in public, begging and
any other applicable sections. Without enforcement powers, the security of the facility from theft,
trespass and associated crimes will be greatly threatened, thus impacting the marketability in the
area.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Through a Council Resolution, authorize the RPF to enforce Municipal Code infractions as the
security force for Carousel Mall currently is authorized.
FINDINGS:
At the completion of the road project currently in progress on the former North Air Force Base,
public access to the property obtained through the retosession process will occur. With that
access, problems related to theft and loitering will also occur. We have enjoyed the security of a
closed base thus far, but all that will change.
The ability of the RPF to combat these problems and protect the marketability of this property is
limited at this time without the authority to enforce infractions of the Municipal Code.
