Agreements Mr. Calabrese requested that the item concerning the Joint Powers Agreement for an air compressor truck be removed from the Agenda. PPrgnnnal Purchasing Division Mr. Calabrese reviewed a memorandum dated January 30, 1979, regarding the filling of the vacant position in the Purchasing Division of Secretary I, and recommended that this position be reclassified to Purchasing Clerk, which would be more in line with the duties of that position. Mr. Calabrese advised the reclassification would necessitate a public hearing and approval of the job description; there would be no change in the salary schedule for this position. After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to set for public hearing the reclassification of the position of Secre- tary I to Purchasing Clerk to fill the vacancy in the Purchasing Division. Motion carried, with Councilwoman Cisneros voting NO. Executive Order Files (� Goal s M Mr. Calabrese presented to the Council Members a report on the status of Goals for the City, indicating that Staff is making a continuous effort in analyzing the goals and will keep the Council Members abreast of the status. Q Taxes, Construction Res. No. 3893 Mr. Calabrese presented a proposed Resolution to the Council Members for their consideration and approval, establishing fees for a construction tax required by Ordinance No. 1522 to generate revenue for capital improvements, Parks and Recreation Fund. Mr. Calabrese advised that the proposed resolution repeals Resolution No. 3739, and lowers the percentage of the fee from one percent of that portion in excess of $100,000 estimated project valuation, to one-fourth of one percent of that portion in excess of $100,000 estimated project valuation. Mr. Calabrese concluded this resolution would require commercial and industrial construction to contribute a share of revenue to be used for improvement of parks, but under a more equitable fee schedule. Discussion was then held on the proposed resolution, future commercial and indus- trial development, the lowering of the percentage of the fee required, and referr- ing this matter to the Parks and Recreation Commission for their input. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to refer this matter to the Parks and Recreation Commission for their input and recommendation. Vote was unanimous. Governmental Agencies State Grant Application Mr. Calabrese presented to the Council Members a resolution authorizing application for local funding, in the amount of $36,752, from the California Energy Commission for a feasibility study of electrical generation from refuse derived fuel, which, hopefully, will provide for a reduction in the cost of energy to the citizens of Colton. Mr. Calabrese advised that Staff has also notified the California State Solid Waste Management Board of the City's application for $175,000, for a site specific En- vironmental Impact Report and Engineering Study for the proposed project. Mr. Calabrese recommended approval of the resolution and application, as this is one of the goals presented by the City Council in terms of lower energy costs to the citizens. After additional discussion with regard to the grant application, and a future site and plant for the City of Colton, it was moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to approve Resolution No. 3894. Unanimous vote. FEB S
