Rancho Cucamonga or San Bernardino. Mayor Fulp said the current MOU varies greatly from the original MOU that favored the City. Mayor Fulp said the current MOU before the Council appears to place a financial burden on the City of Colton which it cannot bear. Mayor Fulp recommended an addition to the motion to establish an ad hoc committee, that until the MOU is approved by the City Council, that staff and city resources be curtailed spending anytime or effort on the project. Councilmember Sandoval stated his motion would remain the same. Councilmember Sandoval said it may be perceived that anomosity has developed between agencies and cities, however, being a strong supporter of the hospital he feels the reason for looking at the MOU in depth one more time, is that a significant amount of time has passed since it was drafted and there has been a change in Council and City Managers. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Beltran recommended that the staff members on the ad hoc committee be the City Manager and Finance Director. Councilmember Sanders stated he would like to be an alternate on the City Council side of the committee. Discussion followed on the composition of the ad hoc committee. City Manager Martinez said he would like to have two tiers of staff and asked for the flexibility to use the staff he felt was needed, one of which would be the Finance Director. The primary team would be himself, the Finance Director and one other director. The secondary team would consist of directors on and "as needed basis". The City Attorney would be a primary participant. Mayor Fulp recommended himself, Councilmembers Beltran and Cook with Councilmember Sanders as alternate. Mr. Fredrickson asked where will this process of an ad hoc committee leave the public. Mr. Fredrickson said he was the one who had gone to the Board of Supervisors to request that the hospital be built in Colton. Mr. Fredrickson said at the County public hearing Mayor Fulp as a resident of Colton, spoke in opposition to the hospital. Mayor Fulp responded that he had supported the letter sent by the City to the Board of Supervisors. Mayor Fulp said the public will be kept informed as to the status of the negotiations on the MOU. Moved by Councilmember Beltran, seconded by Councilmember Sandoval, that the Council side of the Ad Hoc Committee be comprised of Mayor Fulp, Councilmembers Beltran and Cook and Councilmember Sanders as alternate. Motion carried by unanimous vote. PUBLIC COMMENT: 5
