San Bernardino County Grand Jury Audit Committee Request to Review Audit Report. Mr. Huffaker advised that a letter has been received from Mr. John R. McDowell, Chairman of the San Bernardino County Grand Jury Audit Committee, indicating that his committee is con- sidering the possibility of studying the City of Colton. - Mr. Huffaker continued that Mr. McDowell also stated that the Committee is aware of the audit performed by Eadie and Payne, and there is a possibility that all the fields the Committee '..L_ might study are contained in that report; therefore, he is requesting that the Council authorize a copy of the report be sent to the Audit Committee. Mr. Huffaker concluded that Staff recommends the Council approve Mr. McDowell's request. On motion,of Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Rehrer and unanimously passed, Council approved the request of the San Bernardino County Grand Jury Audit Committee to review the City's Audit Report. Mr. Huffaker said he would also like to request a Study Session for some time next week for the purpose of reviewing the completed audit reports as compiled by Eadie and Payne for the City of Colton. Adoption of an Affirmative Action Statement for the City of Colton. Mr. Huffaker said with regard to this item, basically what Staff is attempting to accomplish, as a result of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title 7, is to formally adopt a statement which would in effect be what the City is trying to accomplish at this point in our Personnel Office. Mr. Huffaker stated this statement would meet the requirements as set forth by the Federal Government. Mr. Huffaker concluded a resolution has been prepared for this matter. On motion of Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Rehrer and unanimously passed, Resolu- tion No. 3474 was approved: RESOLUTION NO. 3474 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON PLEDGING SUPPORT FOR AN AFFIRMATIVE PROGRAM FOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY. Request Bid Awards for Various Surplus Vehicles. Mr. Huffaker reported that on October 24, 1974, at 10:00 a.m., the City opened bids for 27 vehicles which had previously been declared surplus by the Council. Mr. Huffaker said the bids are listed in a report dated October 30, 1974, and copies were sent to the Council members. Mr. Huffaker stated that Staff recommends acceptance of the high bid in each case, with the exception of Item 4, the 1950 Seagrave Fire Truck, which should be rejected and readvertise with a minimum bid of $1,100. On motion of Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Gonzales and unanimously passed, Council approved the bid awards for various Surplus Vehicles as recommended by Staff. Paramedic Program. Mr. Huffaker reported that several weeks ago, the City Council adopted, by concept, the possi- bility of establishing a Paramedic Program in the City of Colton. Mr. Huffaker continued that Staff was directed at that time to investigate the possibilities and see whether or not monies were available. Mr. Huffaker said the cost to enter the program is $4,500, which would consist of sending three of our firemen to Paramedic School. Mr. Huffaker advised that monies are available, primarily through salary savings, which can be taken out of our training budget, and therefore, Staff would recommend following this procedure and entering into a Paramedic Program for the City of Colton. Mr. Huffaker stated there is a possibility that future Federal funds will be available for this program also. JJ UV, 6 1514
