SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE ESTIMATE
GRAND TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT
Dear Mr. Ronnow:
Pursuant to your request, RSG has prepared this proposal to provide consulting services to the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Grand Terrace for the proposed amendment to the
Redevelopment Plan. Based on recent discussions with Gary Koontz and Ralph;Menga, RSG
understands the amendment is necessary to facilitate completion of certain commercial projects
within the Project Area. If successful, the proposed amendment would result in the;following:
1. Increase the Plan's cumulative tax increment revenue limit from $70 millionl'(net of taxing
agency payments) to approximately $200 million (net of taxing agency payments),
2. Extend the duration of the Plan and time limit to collect tax increment revenue by seven
years (pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33333.6(a), 33333.6(b), and
33333.6(e)(2)(C)),
3. Increase the Plan's limit on the amount of bonded debt that may be outstanding at any
one time, from $15 million to approximately $65 million,
4. Replace description of land uses of Plan (as contained in Section IV. Uses Permitted in
Project Area, pp. 33-42) with language that directly refers to adopted General Plan,
zoning and other local land use policies.

BACKGROUND
I
The Redevelopment Plan for the Grand Terrace Community Redevelopment: Project was
originally adopted by the City Council on September 27, 1979 by Ordinance No. 25. Not long
afterwards, the City Council expanded the Project Area boundaries to capture the entire City
limits by the first amendment adopted on July 15, 1981 by Ordinance No. 52. On July 22, 1999,
the second amendment to the Redevelopment Plan was approved by the City ;Council by
Ordinance No. 187. This amendment authorized the use of eminent domain tol acquire non-

residentially-zoned property or with the owner's consent. The third and most recent amendment
to the Plan was adopted during the summer of 2004, when the City Council extended the
duration of the Redevelopment Plan by one year pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
33333.6(e)(2).
The Agency has been facing an approaching limit on the cumulative net tax increment revenue
the Agency may collect from the Project Area. RSG conservatively projects this $70 million limit
(computed net of taxing agency payments) would be reached in approximately 5 years. As a
result of this limitation, the Agency is not able to consider implementation of some
redevelopment projects. In addition, other limitations in the Redevelopment Plan pose a
serious, though lesser, impact on the Agency's redevelopment program.
Consequently, staff has proposed amending the Redevelopment Plan to . address these
constraints. The Agency has been approached by a developer seeking, redevelopment
assistance with a significant commercial project within the Project Area that' could not only
remove existing blight but stimulate additional economic growth in the City. However, without
the Redevelopment Plan amendment, this opportunity may be in jeopardy:
The matrix below summarizes the primary elements of the Redevelopment Plan; identifying
those that may be amended by the proposed fourth amendment:

Land Use Descriptions See pp.'33-42 Replace with language

General Plan, zoning,

controls
The plan amendment process would involve preparation of certain documents to substantiate
the tax increment revenue limit increase and other amendments, environmental analysis as
required by the California Environmental Quality Act, meetings with the public, Planning
Commission, Redevelopment Agency board and City Council, as well as a noticed public
hearing. Among the key findings that need to be made during the process will be that the
increase in the tax increment cap is commensurate with the remaining blight in the Project Area.
Therefore, a comprehensive blight study will be needed to justify the additional $130 million in
additional net revenue (assuming the limit is raised from $70 million to $200 million).
In general, we anticipate the entire process to take approximately nine months to complete,
contingent upon several factors including the timely completion of the City's new General Plan
and General Plan EIR. We presume staff would desire to participate and handle some parts of
this process, such as administrative items, filings, and preparing the notices. However, if the
City desires additional assistance with any of these items, we would be happy to provide such
services.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
RSG's scope of work generally .entails overall management for the entire amendment,
preparation of redevelopment and environmental documents, and attendance at the various
meetings.
1) Project Coordination: RSG will coordinate the activities of the consultant team, legal
counsel, and City staff, and will be responsible for timely delivery and processing of all
redevelopment documents.
2) Proiect Schedule: RSG will prepare a schedule which details the tasks involved in the
plan amendment process. The schedule will incorporate the processing, dates and
agenda deadlines, and identify the specific entities responsible for each
document/action. This schedule will guide all parties through the entire process.
3) Staff Reports and Resolutions: Many of RSG's clients appreciate our ability to draft staff
reports and resolutions using Agency and,City Council templates. RSG can prepare
Planning Commission, Redevelopment Agency and City Council staff reports and
resolutions that pertain to the plan amendment activities. (The amending ordinance
would presumably be prepared by Agency legal counsel and is not part of this optional
service.)

4) Draft Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan: RSG has a copy of Ith,e Agency's
existing Redevelopment Plan, which contains some relatively unconventional language
and contents by today's standards. RSG is proposing that the Agency take this
opportunity to create an amended and restated redevelopment plan which;adheres to
the limited scope of the proposed amendment, but provides a new fresh daocument that
is consistent with current legal requirements. The precise language of the;amendments
would be contingent upon direction by staff and legal counsel.
5) Preliminary Report: A preliminary report for the amendment will be prepared that
outlines the reasons for the amendment, describes the remaining physical and economic
conditions in the Project Area, preliminarily assesses the feasibility of financing
programs to be undertaken with additional tax increment revenue, and other information
required by law.
The Preliminary Report would directly answer the requirements of Section 33354.6 of
the Health and Safety Code, specifically that the Project Area contains significant
blighting conditions that persist, and that the increase in the financial capacity of the
Agency is the only means to address these conditions. The report will be transmitted to
the affected taxing agencies and will serve as the basis for potential taxing agency and
community discussions. RSG would be responsible for collecting and compiling
quantitative and qualitative data on physical and economic blight in the project area,
including conducting a parcel-by-parcel,land use and blight survey and interviewing local
real estate professionals, business owners, and City staff.
Where possible, Agency staff will be consulted to assist in the assembly of information
and provide access to stakeholders and knowledgeable persons regarding the issues
facing the project area. RSG would prepare and circulate a screencheck'preliminary
report for staff and legal counsel review and incorporate comments and modifications in
a final version presented to the Agency for consideration.
6) Transmittal of Amended Plan and Preliminary Report: Upon approva[,by the Agency,
RSG would duplicate, assemble and transmit via certified mail the documents to affected
taxing agencies, the State Department of Housing and Community Development and
Department of Finance for their review and comment. RSG anticipates that the
Preliminary Report would be prepared in such a manner to meet the requirement of the
State agencies report required by the law. State law also requires that the,preliminary
report be circulated not less than 90 days prior to the public hearing.
7) Notice of Joint Public Hearing: RSG will assist in the preparation and coordination of the
required notice of joint public hearing on the redevelopment plan amendment for all
affected taxing agencies, residents, property owners and business owners, and ensure
that they are ready for transmittal in the time frame required by law.
I
,
The cost of reproduction, assembly, and transmittal of the taxing agency notices via
certified mail is included in this proposal. This proposal does not include the cost of
reproduction, assembly, and transmittal of the notices to the residents, business owners,
and property owners via first class mail. Posting and publication of the notices are not
i

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE

� 1
included in this proposal. These exclusions may be added to this contract upon mutual
agreement by the client and RSG.
8) Community Workshops: Recent experience with redevelopment plan' adoptions and
amendments has underscored one critical element to their success—the community
needs to be involved in the process. Redevelopment plans lose community support '
most often when the benefits seem to be too vague or too technical for most people to
understand. This is particularly true for this type of an amendment, where an increase in
the financial capacity can be easily misunderstood to be a tax increase on property
owners and residents.
Thus, RSG's approach to these discussions is to begin with the end in mind—by
developing with staff a clear, concise set of specific and realistic redevelopment goals,
and then recalling upon these goals as a "theme" during the process. Project Area
stakeholders may have fundamental questions on the impact on their property taxes and
other issues. (Indeed, waiting to initiate public discussions with the public hearing notice
can unnecessarily intimidate or trouble many residents and property owners.) RSG
would prepare informational materials for staffs use at the community meetings,
including a PowerPoint presentation on redevelopment in general, a redevelopment
process flow chart, and a handout on frequently asked questions. Additionally, if staff
desires discretionary meetings with the' public or interest groups, RSG is able to
coordinate and conduct these meetings as well.
For the purposes of this proposal, we have included three (3) public stakeholder
meetings or workshops in the budget. The budget also includes material preparation to
facilitate public discourse on the redevelopment proposal.
9) Report to the City Council: RSG would prepare a Report to the City Council which would
contain information required by Sections 33352, 33451.5 (new), and 33457.1 of the
Health and Safety Code for the amendment. This Report would include the following:
a. A map of the project area(s) that identifies the portion, if any, of the project
area(s) that are no longer blighted, the portion of the project area(s) that are
blighted, and the portion of the project area that contains necessary and
essential parcels for the elimination of the remaining blight. (HSC 33451.5(c)(1))
b. A description of the remaining blight (HSC 33451.5(c)(2)) ;
c. A description of the projects or programs proposed to eliminate any remaining
blight. (HSC 33451.5(c)(3))
d. A description of how these projects or programs will improve they conditions of
blight. (HSC 33451.5(c)(4))
e. The reasons why the projects or programs cannot be completed without the plan
amendment/merger. (HSC 33451.5(c)(5))
Larry Ronnow, Finance Director
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
August 20, 2007
Page 6
f. The proposed method of financing these programs or projects. (HSC
33451.5(c)(6))
g. An amendment to the corresponding project areas implementation plan(s). (HSC
33451.5(c)(7))
h. A new neighborhood impact report, as necessary. (HSC 33451.5.(c)(8))
i. Evidence of consultation with affected citizens, property owners, and taxing
agencies (HSC 33352(1) and (m))
j. Compliance with CEQA. (HSC 33352(k)), incorporating the General Plan update
environmental impact report currently in process.
This Report forms the basis for a defense against legal challenges, if any, to the
merger/amendment. The Report also allows the Agency to evaluate,the financial
feasibility and desirability of the proposed redevelopment implementation, projects and
programs. RSG shall prepare this report in simple, direct language that is
understandable to all reviewing parties.
A screencheck and final Report to the City Council would be prepared 'by RSG and
submitted to the Agency in an electronic format.
10)Written Responses to Written Objections: Assuming written objections to the
redevelopment plan amendment are submitted at the joint Agency%Cify Council public
hearing, RSG will lead the preparation of responses of up to 10 written objections, with
additional responses billed on a time-and-materials basis outside the fee budget.
11)Meeting Attendance: This scope of services includes consultant attendance at seven
meetings as identified below. If additional meetings are desired, RSG reserves the right
to adjust this scope of services and fee proposal for client approval prior to
commencement of any such additional services.
Staff/Internal (2 meetings)
■ Planning Commission (1 meeting)
■ Redevelopment Agency/City Council (4 meetings)
