Resolution No. 4605 - Election - Following brief discussion, Councilmember Beswick
moved to adopt Resolution No. 4605, a resolution of the City Council of the City of
Redlands providing for the submission to the qualified voters of the City of Redlands of
an initiative ordinance relating to a Utility Users Tax, calling and giving notice of a
special municipal election therefore, and requesting the Board of Supervisors of the
County of San Bernardino to consolidate said election with the Statewide Direct Primary
election to be held on Tuesday, June 5, 1990, with the word “certain” removed from the
ballot language within the clause pertaining to exemptions for seniors and low income
persons and with the understanding that staff and Councilmembers will continue to
explore the contents of the ordinance further. Motion seconded by Councilmember
Milson and carried unanimously.
NAFB Reuse - Noting an article in the morning’s newspaper, The Sun, reporting that the
City of San Bernardino voted against the formation of the Norton Air Force Base regional
redevelopment agency, Councilmembers requested a closed session for the purpose of
discussing with the City Attorney pending litigation. In accordance with State law, the
City Attorney prepared a confidential memo providing justification for this closed
session. Council recessed at 8:21 A.M. and reconvened at 9:00 A.M. at which time
Mayor DeMirjyn announced that no further action would be taken at this time on the joint
use agreement. Councilmembers also directed that the appointment of a third citizen to
the Task Force be rescheduled for the February 6, 1990, meeting.
Measure N - Community Development Director Shaw explained the procedure which has
been in effect for about a year for developers to obtain their building permits in
accordance with Measure N guidelines. The developers do not feel a 10-day period is
sufficient time to obtain their financing and grading such. He recommended that the City
maintain the current procedure at this time until a meeting has been for all the developers
involved at which time they can work with are proposed and scheduled for hearing at a
future City Council meeting. Pat Meyer and Mark Blankenship expressed their concerns.
Council directed that this matter be re-examined at a hearing on February 6, 1990.
Achievements - Public Information Officer Jane Kruse provided a slide show of the
achievements for 1989 which was narrated by the respective department heads.
Liaison Assignments - Councilmembers reviewed the lengthy list of Boards,
Commissions, and Task Forces for the City and other agencies and assigned Council
liaisons and alternates for the coming calendar year.
Goals and Objectives - City Manager John Holmes presented the 1990-91 suggested
goals for each department. Some of the goals had blank spaces which reflect staff’s
ongoing effort to be more specific in identifying what we are working to achieve. Data is
being developed to fill in these numbers as part of a five-year strategic planning process
now underway. Each department’s goals were reviewed and suggestions made by
Councilmembers included demolition of the FedMart building on Orange and Pearl
Streets; implementation of the TDA program; investigation of grant monies available for
seismic retrofitting to provide an incentive to property owners; encourage more private
open space preservation; and the use of compact vehicles and alternative fuel use.
