<br />Water Division
<br />Sullivan & Trinity Water Companies
<br />Community Services Director Earl Young read his memorandum dated January 16, 1976, and gave a status report on the
<br />Sullivan and Trinity Water Companies.
<br />Mr. Young stated that Staff is hopefull of presenting to the Council members for their consideration in the near
<br />future a plan that will be acceptable to all parties concerned.
<br />Agreement
<br />Mill Street Overpass
<br />Mr. C. Glenn Wilson, Public Works Director for the City of San Bernardino, gave a presentation to the Council -
<br />members regarding the project for the Mill Street Overpass.
<br />Mr. Wilson showed the Council members an aerial photo indicating the grade separation of the project, and stated
<br />that a public hearing has already been held on this matter, and all that is needed now is to finalize the agree-
<br />ments and obtain the funding for the project.
<br />Mr. Wilson advised there are two agreements for consideration and approval, one with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
<br />Fe Railway Company, the City of San Bernardino, and the City of Colton, and the other between the City of San
<br />Bernardino and the City of Colton for the maintenance of the overpass.
<br />Mr. Wilson stated the application must be filed with the State on February 17, 1976, and they would like the signed
<br />agreement prior to that time to send along with the application.
<br />City Attorney Edwards questioned that portion of the Agreement, on Page 7, Article III, concerning necessary right-
<br />of-way in the City of Colton.
<br />Mr. Wilson explained the City of San Bernardino needs acquisition of that portion of Mill Street running through
<br />the City limits of Colton, which consists of Mill Street, between Rancho and Ohio Avenues.
<br />Mr. Edwards asked if this would also entail condemnation proceedings.
<br />Mr. Wilson stated that would be a legal matter and he could not rightfully answer the question, however, he would
<br />assume there would be no condemnation proceedings involved. Mr. Wilson said that, at any rate, all of the expenses
<br />would be borne by the City of San Bernardino.
<br />Each Council member felt that this was a very essential project and one which would be an asset to all parties
<br />concerned.
<br />After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, Council will review both
<br />agreements, the three -party agreement and the two-party agreement, and make a final decision at the next regular
<br />Council meeting to be held February 3, 1976. Vote was unanimous.
<br />RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSION REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
<br />Chairman Richard Mosher stated the Recreation and Parks Commission will have its regular meeting on Wednesday,
<br />January 21, 1976, and he had no other reports at this time; however, he again asked that the Council members attend
<br />the Commission meetings.
<br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
<br />Electrical Rate Increase
<br />Resolution No. 3565
<br />City Manager Huffaker referred to his memorandum dated January 16, 1976, and a report from Electric Utility Director
<br />Harold Preece regarding the proposed electrical rate increase which will be effective February 1, 1976.
<br />Mr. Huffaker said a resolution has been prepared effecting the rate increase for Council's consideration.
<br />Moved by Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve RESOLUTION NO. 3565. Vote was unanimous.
<br />Transportation
<br />Bus Route 1
<br />City Manager Huffaker read his memorandum dated January 19, 1976, regarding Councilman Gonzales' request for extension
<br />of bus service along Pine Street, between "0" and Congress Streets.
<br />Mr. Huffaker also outlined the re-routing of bus service on Illinois, Western, and Colton Avenues, stating that
<br />both of these changes will be paid out of next year's allocation of SB -325 funds for Colton.
<br />Moved by Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve re-routing of Bus Route 1 and Bus Route 13
<br />as outlined by Staff. Vote was unanimous.
<br />Paramedics Program
<br />Additional Back -Up Equipment
<br />City Manager Huffaker referred to his memorandum dated January 19, 1976, together with other memorandums from the
<br />City Attorney, dated January 8, 1976, and from Fire Chief Ed Temby, dated January 15, 1976, regarding the purchase
<br />of back-up paramedic equipment in the amount of $8,200.
<br />Mr. Huffaker recommended the monies be transferred from the permanent salaries account of the Multi -Service Center
<br />budget in the amount of $8,000, and the remaining portion can be transferred from the Fire Department budget.
<br />Councilman Rehrer asked why this money could not be taken out of the salary account for the Finance Director,
<br />inasmuch as the City has been without a Finance Director for several months.
<br />Mr. Huffaker explained there are not sufficient funds left in that account due to the fact that the Finance Department
<br />budget has been carrying the salaries of two Purchasing Agents, one on sick leave and the other in an Acting capacity,
<br />and also because of the payment of extensive overtime in that department.
<br />After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, to transfer funds in the
<br />permanent salaries account of the Multi -Service Center budget in the amount of $8,000, and the remaining portion to
<br />be transferred from the Fire Department budget. Vote was unanimous.
