PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
Mitigation At 7:50 P.M, Council returned to Agenda Item No. 12(d) for a public hearing regarding
of mitigation of school impaction. City Attorney Calonne explained that. Council needed
Schoi to approach this matter from a quasi-judicial standpoint measling that Council would
Impaction act on the basis of the record of proceedings before it tonight and before it in the past
as well. Attorney Calonne noted that it would be difficult for Council to divorce itself
from the vast body of information that it has heard since February 1985. as there have
been literally dozens of times when the matter has come up on the Council's agenda,
and there have been at least two separate public hearings and a third major meeting
in November 1985 when the fees were decided upon. Records of proceedings were
giben to the City Clerk for retention as follows:
1. Redlands Unified. School District Impaction Mitigation Information dated February 1,
1986,
2. Supplemental Administrative Record, Superior Court of California, County of Sari
Bernardino Case No. 228603; Redlands Unified School District, a Public, Unified
School District, Petitioner, vs. City of Redlands, Deane Properties, and Does 1 :
through 20, inclusive, Respondents,
3. Amended and Supplemental Petition for Writ of Mandate, Exhibits I through 11,
Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Bernardino, Case;
No, 228603, Redlands Unified School District, a Public Unified School District,
Petitioner, vs. City of Redlands, Deane Properties, and Does 1 through 20,
inclusive, Respondents.
4. A letter from Manatt, Phelps, Rothenberg, Tunney 4 Phillips, Attorneys at Law,
11355 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, dated March 4, 1986, re:
School Impaction Fees, representing Deane Properties.
Attorney Calonne noted he had not had time to review the letter from the Deane
Properties' legal counsel but that Clare Bernaski would probably address it during
the public hearing,
Attorney Calonne further explained that the second aspect of the quasi-judicial process
was that Council needed to be aware of the „requirement that findings be made based
on the evidence, and that form should allow someone reviewing it to trace Council's
path from the raw evidence to the conclusion. Attorney Calonne described the nature
of these findings, noting that Ordinance No. 1795 generally breaks 'itself down into
two parts - the first being a declaration of school impaction or overcrowding which
is'made by the School District and then presented to the City Council for concurrence
or nonconcurrence. In this situation the Council has recognized this and that issue
is basically behind us. The second phase of Ordinance No. 1795 addresses how the
City and School. District will work together to salve the overcrowding problem and how
to mitigate it.
Mayor Beswick then opened the meeting as a public hearing,
Dr. Warren Bryld, Superintendent of the Redlands Unified School. District, made a
lengthy impaction presentation with the aid of an overhead projector. Said Impaction
Presentation to Redlands City Council dated. March 4, 1986, is on file in the Office of
the City Clerk. Responding to Councilmember Johnson's inquiry, Dr. B:ryld noted

within the City.

the Councilmembers. Clayton Parker from Parker-Covert, attorneys for the School
District was also present, Speaking in favor of the School District's stand were: Don

Dan John who submitted a letter on March 1, 1986, which is on file in the office of the
City Clerk. Also speaking was Shirley Harry, chairman of the Proposition iM Committee.
