Mr. Newcombe stated he was not really sure about the fee, however, the City could contact LAFCO in that regard. Mr. Newcombe said, at any rate, the fee would be approximately $1,500 to $2,000. After additional discussion, moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Roman, to approve signing the Memorandum of Understanding with the San Bernardino County Regional Parks Department and adopt Resolution No. R-9-91, to be included in the proposed San Bernardino County Regional Parks and Open Space District. Vote was unanimous. RESOLUTION NO. R-9-91 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON REQUESTING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CREATION OF A PROPOSED SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY REGIONAL PARKS AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT. Speaking in opposition to this issue were Mr. Robert E. Sparks, 3029 Prado Lane, Colton, and Mr. George Fulp, 1497 Cindee Lane, Colton, stat- ing this would be like an open end tax and the citizens of Colton would be faced with an increase in taxes that could escalate each year, and the City should take their time on this matter and possibly consider it next year.
