fee in the amount of $120.00 for the processing of adult-oriented business
performer permits. Motion seconded by Councilmember Cunningham and

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Resolution No. 5408 - San Timoteo Canyon Flood Control Project - Due to a
possible conflict of interest, Councilmember Cunningham left the Council
Chambers. At the August 5, 1997, Council meeting, members of the San
Timoteo Canyon Greenway Conservancy urged the City Council to support
their proposed water shed management approach for the flood control project.
Resolution No. 5408, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands
supporting a soft bottom channel for San Timoteo Canyon Creek, and a draft
letter addressed to County Supervisor Dennis Hansberger were presented for the
City Council's review. Susan Taylor stated the plan proposed by the Greenway
Conservancy had not been reviewed by the public; she also felt it was bad to
endorse one group and one hydrologist over another and suggested amending
the resolution and letter. Ann Taylor informed Councilmembers she and her
daughter had been in contact with the Secretary of the Army Corps of Engineers
and that Dreamworks has been contacted to prepare another design of the
channel. Alvino Siva, Cahuilla Nation, expressed concerns about Indian burial
sites. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to adopt Resolution No. 5408 and
authorize the Mayor to sign a letter directed to Supervisor Hansberger to
reiterate the City Council's desire to have a soft-bottom channel with language
included to incorporate other organizations who are involved in the flood
control project and to take away the dictatorial aspect and not show any sign of
endorsement of any one plan. Motion seconded by Councilmember Larson and
carried by with Councilmember Cunningham abstaining and Councilmember
Gil absent.
