CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of July 16, 1991 TO: Fellow Council Members FROM: Mayor Frank Gonzales SUBJECT: Date: 7/12/91 Consider Support For Relocation Of County Medical Facility In The City Of Colton On July 2, 19910, representatives from San Bernardino County made a presentation to the Council regarding the proposed relocation of the County medical facility to Colton. As you may recall, County staff have identified a seventy acre site in the vicinity of Pepper and Valley as the preferred location for the new medical center. As proposed, the medical center would consist of 850,000 square feet of buildings set in a 430,000 square foot landscaped park setting. Action was anticipated at the Board of Supervisor's July 8, 1991 meeting, but was delayed until July 29, 1991. The City of Colton participated in the environmental review of the Colton site, and concerns about traffic, utility and public safety issues were communicated by staff to the County. The County proposes to mediate those concerns, in part, as follows: 1. The County will participate financially in any effort to modify the I-10 Pepper on/off ramp. 2. The County will construct two traffic signals to improve traffic flow through the area of the City. 3. The County will donate land for the construction of a fire station and will assist the City in purchasing the necessary fire equipment. 4. The County will pay all applicable water, sewer, storm drain and traffic impact fees to assure that adequate public facilities are available to serve this area. Although the medical facility site itself would be exempt from property tax, it is anticipated that its construction will result in 530,000 square feet of private sector medical support services and 120,000 square feet of commercial support services which would contribute an estimated $398,000.00 per year in property taxes. Local purchases during construction of the medical facility are anticipated to generate $60,000.00 in sales tax directly to the City. Local purchases by facility staff, patients and visitors will also be significant. Attachments: Page 1 of --2- Item No.. r FILE NO.
