UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Auto Dealers - Economic Relief Proposal - Due to a potential conflict of
interest, Councilmember Bean retired from the Council Chambers and did not
participate in this matter; a Public Disclosure of Potential Conflict of Interest
form is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Redevelopment and Economic
Development Director Hobbs explained a meeting was held at the request of the
local auto dealers on December 17, 2008. Attending were City Manager
Martinez, City Attorney McHugh, Redevelopment and Economic Development
Director Hobbs and six representatives from the Redlands new car auto dealers.
This item was brought to the City Council meeting on January 20, 2009. At that
time it was requested by Councilmember Gilbreath that the item be postponed
until this meeting due to the fact that only three Councilinembers were present
at that meeting. Project Manager Frank Rocha reviewed the proposal presented
by the auto dealers and the subsequent recommendations from staff. Bill
Cunningham supported the proposal for the advertising campaign but felt it was
inappropriate at this tune to consider a reduction or loan of the business license
tax. Patty Peoples felt the proposal regarding the business license tax for the
auto dealers would set a bad precedent noting it appeared the City was saving
money with the employee furloughs and giving that savings as loans to the auto
dealers. Councilmembers discussed this at length. Councilmember Gilbreath
again indicated she did not support the proposal except for the advertising
fi package. Councilmember Gallagher felt the City needed to step up and support
the auto dealers' request. Councilmember Aguilar was hesitant to lose
$122,000.00 during this fiscal year but wanted to have further dialog with the
auto dealers to consider relief for the next fiscal year. Councilmember Gilbreath
moved to authorize staff to implement assistance in a "Shop Redlands" mass
mailing advertisement and production of profiles of businesses in town, starting
with the auto dealers, to be aired on the Redlands TV channel. The motion was
seconded by C01.1116 Im ember Gallagher. Dave Marvin, Redlands Nissan, told
COUncilmernbers the auto dealers wanted to open a dialog with the City but did
not want to cause divisiveness with their request. Bob Clark suggested allowing
payments of the business license tax rather than a lump sum. Councilinernber
Gilbreath's motion then carried by AYE votes of all present with
Councilmember Bean having abstained. Again noting he was concerned about
this fiscal year, Councilmember Aguilar moved to direct City staff to continue
to engage and explore the auto industry individuals' on assistance that includes
billing amortization and future fiscal year business license tax, collectively
analyzed at the staff level and surveyed among peers. Motion seconded by
Councilmernber Gallagher and carried with Councilmember Gilbreath voting
NO and with Councilmember Bean having abstained.

Coordinator Heather Smith reviewed the Downtown Redlands Business
Association Advisory Board's recommendation to establish and operate a
farmers-only certified farmers' market on Saturday mornings, DRBA Advisory
Board Chairman Al Hernandez reported the Board now fully supports this
proposal. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to approve a negative declaration
for Resolution No. 6767, a resolution of the City Council of the City of
February 3,2009
023
