REVIEW THE PROPOSED FY 2006-2007 CRAUTY COUNCIL BUDGET
Finance Director Larry Ronnow, gave a presentation on the proposed FY 2006-2007
CRA/City Council Budget.
Councilmember Hilkey, stated that last year our expenditures for both CRA and the City
exceeded our income predominately because we were spending the 20% set-aside for the
Senior Housing. This year it looks like there is $343,000.00 decrease in the fund balance.
He questioned if something happens with the Towne Center project and we don't sell the
$1.7 6 million that$343,000.00 will go,up to approximately$2 million. He questioned if
there were any flags that were going up about spending more than were bringing in two years
in a row that we might need to address.
Cily Manager Schwab,responded that on some of the Capital projects we are using one time
fees from development fees'to fund them as well. We are not using it for ongoing operating
expenses.

Mayor Pro Tem Cortes, thanked staff for doing a great job on the budget. She questioned
how the Deputy that was funded by the COPS grant is going to be funded this year.
Finance Director Ronnow, responded that starting with this year's budget we need to use
approximately$110,000.00.from the General Fund to make up the difference,however this
year it doesn't have a big impact.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned where there are funds that support the library other than
the CDBG Funds.
City Manager Schwab, responded that the City does not provide any direct support to the
library. The Block Grant funds their literacyprogram. We provide the buildingat no charge,
however, they provide for the utilities and the janitorial services.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned if there is an entry in the budget that show utilities paid
for by the library.
City Manager Schwab,responded that is not shown in the budget but staff could provide a
spreadsheet how much is incurred in expenses and how much money is distributed back to
the City.
Assistant City Manager Berry, stated that they pay $1,295.00 per month to cover their
expenses.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned if that was calculated.
Assistant City Manager, responded that he did a calculation and that it was accurate.
i
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned who pays for the custodial service.
Assistant CiIy Managerrry,responded that the library pays for their own service.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned ifthere was a wayto shape the Law Enforcement Service
package to suit the needs now versus the needs of 20 years ago. He stated that.he spoke to
City Manager Schwab earlier about cycling the traffic officers. He is getting the feeling that
we don't have the faith in the Department like we use to.
i
City Manager Schwab, stated that his suggestion would be to set up a workshop to show the
Council what the deployment looks like today and what the theory is for coverage. He stated
that he was planning on adding a Deputy next year,however,if the Council would like to add
a 40 hr car this year it is an option that can be added to the budget.

It was the consensus of the Council for staff to agendize to bring.an item to Council to
explain the deployment and to receive Council input on how it-might be changed.
Councilmember Hilkey,stated that most people consider police protection number.one. He
feels that if the Department isn't responding in the published response time the City needs
to do something about it. He would like to see something showing a regular list of response
times so that Council and staff can answer questions.
City Manager Schwab, stated that the published response time are priority;one calls: If the
Pall is.not a priority one call it would take longer. He stated that our Law Enforcement is thin
and that he will have the Sheriff's Department come and show the Council the deployment
and let the Council decide what they feel is an acceptable level. He stated that he will try to
bring this to Council in June.
Councilmember Garcia, stated that at the Council Priority Session they discussed
performance and criteria. She stated that she doesn't know if the Department would be open
to it but if there was a performance criteria established where they would make a
commitment that with this amount of dollars this is what you get and if you don't perform
there is a decrease in the amount that they get paid. She will be looking closely at the
Sheriff's Service Specialist position. She stated that there is a new Fire Chief in the County
of San Bernardino and suggested that we do the same with the Fire Department. She stated
that the Library is a strong priority for the City. She stated that she wants to fight for a
library in the Towne Center Project. She stated that she feels that.there should be some
money in the budget for a library.
Cily Manager Schwab,stated that in any circumstance in order to fund a library there is going
to have to be money. Staff was depending on the income from the center,to help pay for debt
service or rent depending on what is worked out. This was predicated on having a large
enough revenue cash flow off of the project to pay either- the rent or the debt service.
Without that the money is not immediately there to do that. If the Council says this is what
our priority is and they want to spend enough money to build. a brand new building
somewhere in the community they could do that,however,he feels that we have to balance
the desires for anew library against the desires that he just heard for more police.
Councilmember Garcia, she stated that she would like another budget workshop if the
decision would be between a new library and law enforcement. She stated that she would
be willing to trim the budget to fund a library. She questioned when the Council can discuss
the priority of a new library.
Mayor Ferr6, stated that the Council has already determined that a new library is a priority.
• The library is an issue and Council thought that the City was going to get a library with.the
Towne Center and now there is a question. She would like to see how things play out before

she makes a decision to change her priority from-safety to the library.
Councilmember Miller, agrees that a library is important and also agrees that the Council
needs to wait and see how this plays out and then possibly look at the priorities once again.
Mavor Pro Tern Cortes,also agrees that the library is important but so is safety and feels that - -
we should wait until we can get more information on the Sheriff's deployment.
Councilmember Garcia, questioned if after there is a workshop on the law enforcement the
Council is.open to having a workshop to discuss the Towne Center Project/Library.
MgXLo_r Ferre;stated that we are in limbo right now and she would like to see it played out.
If there is a chance that there is going to be a library then we are where we want to be if there
isn't.going to be a library then we need to do something about it.
i
Councilmember Garcia, questioned where we are with the Towne Square Project.
i -
Councilmember Miller, feels that we don't know where we are with the Towne Square
Project and feels that we are still in negotiations-.
Mavor Ferre, concurred.
Councilmember Garcia,stated that when she is asked questions about where the City is with
the Towne Square Project she will tell them that on'May 11, 2006 the Council stated that
they are not going to do anything related to the Towne Square Project for 30-to 60 days.
I _ -
I
Ci 'Manager Schwab,stated that the Developer had stated that he would be back in 90 days
and that was approximately 30 days ago. Right now the Developer's reality is that he has 18
acres and he has one parcel that he can't acquire. He is moving forward with the 18 acre
parcel commonly known as Plan B. The Redevelopment Agency is in discussions to
potentially acquire that parcel. He indicated that he should know in a month whether there
is any ability to acquire that parcel on the owners terms. Plan B does not include a Library
but that is not to say that when that comes back Council can't look at that option.
1 Councilmember Garcia,stated that if Mr.Jacobsen is doing Plan B that it includes a library.
� g
Ci y Manager Schwab,responded that Plan A and Plan B both have a parcel earmarked for
the library.
Councilmember Garcia, stated that the library is very important to her and plans on doing
everything she can do to make it happen.

City Manager Schwab, indicated that the adoption of this budget doesn't close the door on
anything. We are just funding our operations at the current level with the exceptions ofthe
items that have been described. We need to see what is going to happen with the Towne
Center.
Councilmember Garcia, clarified the budget amount and how-it works. She stated that the
- problem with.building the library is that it doesn't create income.
Ci . Manager Schwab,responded in the negative. He stated that very little of what we build.
creates income. We were depending on the Towne Center Project generating enough income
to pay the debt service on the library and still have some left over for other things. If it is
going to be Plan B then we need to evaluate what kind of income that will generate. The
Center will generate income.
d _
Councilmember Garcia, stated that when we do a development there should be a fiscal
impact that includes the amount of increased dollars that will be spent for law enforcement,
etc. She stated that we have been criticized about not being accurate when it.comes to law
enforcement on the large upcoming developments.and feels that the Sheriff s Department
should address that. She requested that staff work on the fiscal analysis of the impact of
projects coming into town.
City.Manager Schwab, stated that staff will look into it.
Councilmember Miller,questioned if there was any consideration of having a joint use of a
library with the new proposed school. Currently Rialto and Fontana have one.
Cfty Manager Schwab,responded that staff did.look into that and some of the locations that
have joint use libraries. They found that it is difficult to have a high school combination
library if it's the only library that they have in the community because it is only open when
the school is closed. It just didn't seem like a good idea.
Councilmember Miller, stated that there were some funds that came in for a bike lane and
he believes that they were approximately$56,000.00.
Building& Safety Director Shields,responded that it was $50,000.00.
Councilmember Miller,stated that it is now going to cost the City$74,000.00 and questioned
if that was correct:
Building & Safety Director Shields,responded in the affirmative.
�.�,� Councilmember Miller, questioned when we are scheduling to do the bike lane.

Building_&Safety Director Shields,responded that he received a phone call-from Caltrans•
yesterday giving us a one year extension. He stated that a few months back,he brought-a
Resolution to the Council to extend the bike lane fora year.- It has taken this Gong for
Caltrans to respond to him. During the time that it took Caltrans to respond to him staff was
able to get a Class.3•bike lane instead of a Class 2. Because of the time that has lapse the
cost,has gone up.
Councilmember Miller, questioned the difference between a Class 3 bike lane and a Class
2.
Building&Safety Director Shields,responded that with a Class 2 bike lane you will not have
parked cars on the roadway with a Class 3.you are allowed to have a parked.car. It is his
understanding that in the area of Food Connection the property owners didn't want to lose
f the street parking.
Councilmember Miller, questioned where the bike lane will run.
I
Building&Safety Director Shields,responded that it will go all the way to Michigan and all
of the improvements will be done as well as the re-striping down the opposite side of the
F street.
i
I
Councilmember Miller,confirmed that the bike lane will be down both sides ofBarton Road.
He questioned where the extra money that will be needed will come from whenme actually
do the project, because the price will probably go up again.
Building&SafetvDirector Shields,responded that when he prepared his budget he increased
the numbers to cover the expected increase.
Councilmember Miller, questioned if we will wait for the Towne Center to be.built before
f we do the bike lane.
i
Buildings&Safety Director Shields, responded that he plans on doing it right away:

REVIEW THE PROPOSED FY 2006-2007 CRA/CITY COUNCIL BUDGET
Finance Director Larry Ronnow, gave a presentation on the proposed FY 2006-2007
CRA/City Council Budget.
Councilmember Hilkev, stated that last year our expenditures for both CRA and the City
exceeded our income predominately because we were spending the 20% set-aside for-the
Senior Housing. This year it looks like there is $343,000.00 decrease in the fund balance.
He questioned if something happens with the Towne Center project and we don't sell the
$1.7 6 million that $343,000.00 will go up to approximately$2 million. He questioned if
there were any flags that were going up about spending more than were bringing in two years
in a row that we might need to address.
City Manager Schwab,responded that on some of the Capital projects we are using one time
fund fees from development fees to them as well. We are not using it for ongoing operating
• expenses.

Finance Director Ronnow, responded that starting with this years budget we need to use
approximately$110,000.00 from the General Fund to make up the difference,however this
year it doesn't have a big impact.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned where there are funds that support the library other than
the CDBG Funds.
City Manager Schwab, responded that the City does not provide any direct support to the
library. The Block Grant funds their literacy program. We provide the building at no charge,
however, they provide for the utilities and the janitorial services.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned if there is an entry in the budget that show utilities paid
for by the library.
City Manager Schwab, responded that is not shown in the budget but staff could provide a
spreadsheet how much is incurred in expenses and how much money is distributed back to
the City.
Assistant'Ci , Manager Berry, stated that they pay $1,295.00 per month to cover their
expenses.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned if that was calculated.
Assistant City Manager,responded that he did a calculation and that it was accurate.
i
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned who pays for the custodial service.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that the library pays for their own service.
Councilmember Hilkev,questioned ifthere was a way to shape the Law Enforcement Service
package to suit the needs now versus the needs of 20 years ago. He stated that he spoke to
City Manager Schwab earlier about cycling the traffic officers.- He is getting the feeling that
we don't have the faith in the Department like we use'to.
City Manager Schwab,stated that his suggestion would be to set up a workshop to show the
Council what the deployment looks like today and what the theory is for coverage. He stated
that he was planning on adding a Deputy next year,however,if the Council would like to add
a 40 hr car this year it is an option that can be added to the budget. ;-

It was the consensus of the Council for staff to agendize to bring an item to Council to
explain the deployment and to receive Council input on how it might be changed.
Councilmember Hilkey, stated that most people consider police protection number one. He
feels that if the Department isn't responding in the published response time the City needs
to do something about it. He would like to see something showing a regular list of response
\ times so that Council and staff can answer questions.
-Cily Manager Schwab, stated that the published response time are priority one calls. If the
call is not a priority one call it would take longer. He stated thatour Law Enforcement is thin
and that he will have the Sheriff's Department come and show the Council the deployment
and let the Council decide what they feel is an acceptable level. Re stated that he will try to
bring this to Council in June.
Councilmember Garcia, stated that at the Council Priority Session they discussed
performance and criteria. She stated thatshe doesn't know if the Department would be open
to it but if there was a performance criteria established where they would make a
commitment that with this amount of dollars this is what you get and if you don't perform
there is a decrease in the amount that they get paid. She will be looking closely at the
(� Sheriff's Service Specialist position. She stated-that there is anew Fire Chief in the County
i of San Bernardino and suggested that we do the same with the Fire Department. She stated
that the Library is a strong priority for the City. She stated that she'wants to fight for a
library in the Towne Center Project. She stated that she feels.that there should be some
money in the budget for a library.
CityManager Schwab,stated that in any circumstance in order to fund a library.there is going
to have to be money. Staff was depending on the income from the center to help pay for debt
service or rent depending on what is worked out. This was predicated on having a large
enough revenue cash flow off of the project to pay either the rent or the debt service.
Without that the money is not immediately there to do that. If the Council says this is what
our priority is and they want to spend enough money to build a brand new building
somewhere in the community they could do that,however,he feels that we have to balance
the desires for a new library against the desires that he just heard for more police.
Councilmember Garcia,,,she stated that she would like another budget workshop if the
decision would be between a new library and law enforcement. She stated that she would
be willing to trim the budget to fund a library. She questioned when theCouncil can discuss
the priority of a new library.
Mayor Ferre, stated that the Council has already determined that a new library is a priority.
The library is an issue and Council thought that the City was going to get a library with the
• Towne Center and now there is a question. She would like to see how things play out before

she makes a decision to change her priority from safety to the library.
l .
Councilmember Miller, agrees that a library is important and also agrees that the Council
needs to wait.and see how this plays out and then possibly look at the priorities once again.
Mayor Pro Tern Cortes,also agrees that the library is important but so is safety and feels that •
we should wait until we can get more information on the Sheriff s deployment.
Councilmember Garcia, questioned if after there is a workshop on the law enforcement the
Council is open to having a workshop to discuss the Towne Center Project/Library.
Mayor Ferr6, stated that we are in limbo right now and she would like to see it played out.
If there is a chance that there is going to be a library then we are where we want to be if there
isn't going to be a library then we need to do something about it.
I .
Councilmember Garcia, questioned where we are with'the Towne Square Project.
Councilmember Miller, feels that we don't know where we are with the Towne Square
Project and feels that we are still in negotiations.
Mayor Ferre, concurred.
Councilmember Garcia,stated that when she is asked questions about where the City is with
the Towne Square Project she will tell them that on May 11, 2006 the'Council stated that
they are not going to do anything related to the Towne Square Project for 30 to 60 days.
Cily Manager Schwab,stated that the Developer had stated that he would be back in 90 days,
and that was approximately 30 days ago. Right now the Developer's reality is that he has 18
acres and he has one parcel that he can't acquire. He is moving forward with the 18 acre
parcel commonly known as Plan B. The Redevelopment Agency is in discussions to
potentially acquire that parcel. He indicated that he should know in a month whether there
is any ability to acquire that parcel on the owners terms. Plan B does not.include a Library
but that is not to say that when that comes back Council can't look at that option.
Councilmember Garcia,stated that if Mr.Jacobsen is doing Plan B that it includes a library.
Cily Manager Schwab,responded that Plan A and Plan B both have a parcel earmarked for
the library.
Councilmember Garcia, stated that the library is very important to her and plans on doing
everything she can do to make it happen.

Cijy Manager Schwab, indicated that the adoption of this budget doesn't close the door on
anything. We are just funding our operations at the current level with the exceptions of the
items that have been described. We need to see what is going to happen with the Towne
Center.
Councilmember Garcia, clarified the budget amount and how it works. She stated that the
• problem with building the library is that it doesn't create income.
City Manager Schwab,responded in the negative. He-stated that very little of what we build
creates income. We were depending on the Towne Center Proj ect generating enough income
Ito pay the debt service on the library and still have some left over for other things. If it is
going to be Plan B then we need to evaluate what kind of income that will generate. The
Center will generate income.
Councilmember Garcia, stated-that when we do a development there should be a fiscal
impact that includes the amount of increased dollars that will be spent for law enforcement,
etc. She stated that we have been criticized about not being accurate when it comes to law
enforcement on the large upcoming developments and feels that the Sheriff s Department
should address that. She requested that staff work on the fiscal analysis of the impact of
projects coming into town.
City Manager Schwab, stated that staff will look into it.
Councilmember Miller,questioned if there,was any consideration of having a joint use of a
library with the new proposed school. Currently Rialto and Fontana have one.
City Manager Schwab,responded that staff did look into that and some of the locations that
have joint use libraries. They found that it is difficult to have a high.school combination
library if.it's the only library that they have in the community because it is only open when
the school is closed. It just didn't seem like a good idea.
Councilmember Miller, stated that there were some funds-that came in for a bike lane and
he believes that they were approximately$56,000.00.
Building& Safety Director Shields,.responded that it was $50,000.00.
CouncilmemberMiller,stated that it is now going to cost the City$74,000.00 and questioned
if that was correct.
Building & Safety Director Shields, responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Miller, questioned when we are scheduling to do the bike lane.

Building&Safety Director Shields,responded that he received a phone call from Caltrans
yesterday giving us a one year extension. He stated that a few months back he brought a
Resolution to the Council to extend the bike lane for a year. It has taken this long for
Caltrans to respond to him. During the time that it took Caltrans to respond to him staffwas
able to get a Class 3 bike lane instead of a Class 2. Because of the time that has lapse the
cost has gone up.-
Councilmember Miller, questioned the difference between a Class 3 bike lane and a Class
2.
Building&Safety Director Shields,responded that with a Class 2 bike lane you will not have
parked cars on the roadway with a Class 3 you are allowed to have a parked car. It is his
understanding that in the area of Food Connection the property owners.didn't want to lose
the street parking.
Councilmember Miller, questioned where the bike lane will run.
Building&SafMDirector Shields,responded that it will go all the wayto Michigan and all
of the improvements will be done as well as the re-striping down the opposite side of the
street.
Councilmember Miller,confirmed that the bike lane will be down both sides ofBarton Road.
He questioned where the extra money that will be needed will come from when we actually
do the project,because the price will probably go up again.
Building&SafMDirector Shields,responded that when he prepared his budget he increased
the numbers to cover the expected increase.
Councilmember Miller, questioned if we will wait for the Towne Center to.be built before
we do the bike lane.
Building& Safety Director Shields, responded that he plans on doing it right away.
Mayor Ferre temporarily adjourned the CRA/City Council Meeting.at 5:30 p.m.

COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Miller, questioned what happened at the SAVON. He reported that his
ilandscaper's vehicle was high jacked on Saturday and heard that there was one high •
jacked at the SAVON as well.
Lt. Guerra, at approximately 2:44 p.m. the Sheriff's Department received a phone call
from an employee at SAVON that there was a gentleman inside the store acting
somewhat suspicious. As the Deputies were responding to that call, the individual left
the store, went across the street, and as another citizen was exiting or entering their
vehicle he accosted them and took their vehicle by force and tried to escape. He was able
j to escape prior to the Deputies arriving. The response time from the initial call to the
arrival of the first officer on scene was less than 10 minutes. He was eventually
apprehended and is in custody.
Councilmember Miller, questioned if he knew anything about the other high jacking.
Lt. Guerra, responded in the negative.

corner.
• Building& Safety Director Shields, responded eventually.

6A. Appeal of the Planning Commission's Approval of SA-06-02,V-06-01,and E-06-02
for the Construction of a Two-Story CommerciaUIndustrial Building on a 2.4 Acre
Site for ESSCO Electric
John Lampe,Planner,reported that on April 6,2006,the Planning Commission held apublic
hearing for Site and Architectural Review No. 06-02, Variance No. 06-01, and
Environmental Review No. 06-02 for the construction of a two-story commercial industrial
i building for ESSCO Electric. ESSCO seeks to expand its facility as a result of increased •
sales while remaining in Grand Terrace. They have acquired approximately 2.4 acres on the
south side of Commerce Way, west of Michigan Street. The Planning Commission held a
public hearing,took public testimony, and unanimously approved the project. On April 17.
2006, an appeal was filed by Raymond Johnson for the Citizens for Responsible and Open
Government. He gave an overview of the project and gave responses to the items of concern
that were pointed out. Staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal and approve
Site and Architectural Review No. 06-02,Variance No. 06-01, and-Environmental-Review
No. 06-02.
Councilmember Miller,referred to issue#2 and requested an explanation.
Planner Lampe, responded that there are some sections on Commerce Way where the
ultimate width had been dedicated when the project went up across the street and based on
the ultimate width that is planned for Commerce Way the recommendation of the Public
Works Department was an additional 4 foot of the subject site would be required in order to
allow for the ultimate width of Commerce Way along that section.
Community & Economic Development Director-Gary Koontz, indicated that the current
{ requirement is 44 feet from centerline and that 4 R from each side would.be.dedicated to
obtain the 44 feet.
Councilmember Miller, referred to issue 6 section c and questioned if there were ever any
burrowing owl's on this site.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,the biologic survey that was done
under the original EIR noted that the areas South that are, undeveloped are potential
burrowing owl habitat. They did not observe any owls on the site,which is in their report.
He stated that if you go down the flood control channel there's a lot of rodent burrows along
{ there and that is the area that they are concerned about.
i -
Councilmember Miller, questioned if an amendment will have to be made to the EIR to
answer Mr. Johnson.

Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that there are no owls
on the site. The owls are further to the South.

Councilmember Miller,stated that he noticed that there is an eight foot high decorative wall
.and questioned what decorative meant. The storage at ESSCO is currently overhanging the
fence and he is concerned that there is going to be a storage problem there that is going to
be unsightly. He questioned if any of the staff has spoken to ESSCO regarding this and
questioned how we will mitigate that problem.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that staff has had very
lengthy conversations. Staff s concern is what is the view from the street. They.have an
existing industrial building that they are backing up to so there really isn't a view from the
back. He has an eight foot wall next to the-street,which will provide a buffering. ESSCO
has been very cooperative and they understand the issues.
Councilmember Miller,he indicated that currently there is only one way to see the facility,
however,in the future there will be a lot of traffic in the area and we don't want an unsightly
view.
Councilmember Garcia,wanted to clarify that the parking is increased.
Community & Economic Development Director Koonts, indicated that the parcel is
substantially larger than the current parcel and the parking has increased.
Councilmember Garcia, stated that they are expanding their business so there is a potential
for more deliveries and business.
Community& Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that they spoke with
ESSCO regarding delivery trucks. One of the issues that they are dealing with now is that
they have a small storage area they can't warehouse a lot of materials at one time,to the point
that the trucks arrive half full. With a larger storage area,they can actually fill the trucks and
they stated that they probably won't see additional trucks they will just see fuller trucks.
Councilmember Garcia,-questioned if we can make it a-condition that storage will not be
seen from the street.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Garcia, questioned what they are going to be doing with the landscaping.
She questioned where the nearest residence is.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that the nearest residence
would be Byron Matteson's property.

Councilmember Garcia, questioned if they will be on all night for security purposes. From
a residents perspective you wouldn't want something-that was bright.
Community & Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that there is a T
requirement that they can't have the light glare off-site. All the lights have to be aimed
down.
Councilmember Garcia,referred to the noise study.

Community & Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that it is a landscape
swell area for the NPDES issues. It is a small detention basin and will be landscaped so that.
the drain-off is clean up before it goes out to the storm drain.
Councilmember Hilkey,questioned if it is vegetation or rock and if it is higher or lower than
the street.
• Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that it is vegetation.
Mayor Ferre, questioned how long,ESSCO has been doing business in Grand Terrace.
City Manager Schwab, responded approximately 12 years.
Mayor Ferre, confirmed.that they have been a good business for Grand Terrace.-
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that they are our highest
sales tax generator in town.
Howard Parcell. Engineer,,reported that the perimeter wall will be 8 feet and concrete that
will ultimately be covered in vines to•heavily.landscape the area.
Councilmember Garcia,referred to the plans where it shows a rounded area on the wall.
Mr. Parcell, responded that it depicts a landscape berm. They are trying to make it look
interesting.
Mayor Ferr6 opened discussion to the Public.
Raymond Johnson,indicated that he represents the applicant and stated that he faxed revised
comment letters several days ago that were dated May 8,2006 and questioned if the Council
received copies of that.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,.responded that he-never received
a fax.
Raymond Johnson, stated that he had-a fax confirmation stating that we did. He stated that
one of the issues with the City is that sometimes the City Council will do one thing in public
and then do something else when they think no one is looking. He feels that this project is
a prime example. The project that is proposed is not consistent with the specific plan or the
requirements of the EIR that was done for the OAC. He stated that the General Plan is
inconsistent internally and that it is impossible to be consistent with it. With.regards to the
issue of noise,the EIR stated that.the construction noise would extend over 1,000 feet from
the edges of the property and feels that it will be higher than acceptable standards. The
I
I
i Council Minutes

Page 16
requirements in the General Plan EIR was that all projects in the portion of the specific plan
must conduct an acoustical. It was also required to do a traffic study. When the EIR was
done for the OAC Specific Plan it noted that in order to achieve acceptable levels of service
on the area streets there were$170 million dollars of traffic improvements that needed to be
1 made in order to accomplish mitigation to the acceptable levels. The OAC's portion of those
traffic expenditures was established at$10.2 million dollars. That is a lot of money for the
OAC. This project represents approximately 3% of the OAC project and its relative fair •
share of that portion would be $330,000.00 to mitigate traffic impacts based upon the EIR
that was done for the OAC plus the $24,000.00 that has to go to the County. There is
approximately$350,000.00 worth of traffic mitigation that is required by the OAC,EIR that
is not being required of this project. If this project doesn't provide their fair share and
subsequent portions the developers of the OAC or the City is going to have'pick-up those
costs. If Council is concerned about the traffic they can't afford to throw away$330,000.00
worth of mitigation. With regard to the street,he was incorrect. According to the Specific
Plan, the minimum acceptable right-of-way according to the specific plan for that street is
122 feet which does not meet the minimum required.right-of-way. He questioned if this is
the type of use that they want to have at the entrance/gateway to the OAC. The OAC
requires a very specific design on the walls and that is not what is being proposed. He feels
that they have not complied with the design requirements. He feels that there is a likelihood
that there may be burrowing owls on the site. The EIR mitigation measure specifically
1 required that protocol burrowing owl surveys be done prior to any project being approved.
There are simply too many mitigation measures that are required that the City is ignoring.
He stated that the project is not consistent with the specific plan and it is not consistent with
the mitigation measures required in the OAC's Specific Plan or EIR. They have not done
the necessary studies and therefore is.not consistent with the requirements.
Mayor Ferre returned discussion to Council.
City Attorney Harper, stated that the issues that were brought up by Mr. Johnson can be
addressed by staff.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned if this piece of property is part of the OAC.
Mr. Johnson,responded in the affirmative.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, also responded in the affirmative.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,gave a background of the hearings
that were held on the specific plan and the uses. He addressed the noise issues and feels that
it has been mitigated to an acceptable level.
Councilmember Hilkev,stated that he feels that the OAC was a dead issue after hearing that
the freeway access won't be done until Phase III of Measure I.

Cily AttorneHarper, stated that the existing zoning of the property is OAC regardless of _
what.might happen in the future. Any project that,is considered.today-is bound by the
existing OAC zoning.
Community&EconomicDevelopment Director Koontz, stated that the OAC project is not
dead until the freeway is widened it is on hold until they figure out what to do with the
bridge. Staff is working on interim solutions to address the traffic issues. The freeway itself
doesn't have.anything to do with project being delayed.
Councilmember,Hilkey, questioned if we take the existing properties out of the OAC then
there will no longer be an issue.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, stated that the reason this area is
included in the OAC is so that they can look at the landscaping and architecture so that it is
consistent. Staff feels that they did a pretty good job.

the entire process would have to start all over again.

stood up and made..some arguments and you-have staff that are the experts that,have been

make a decision:
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, stated that this is an appeal of the
Planning Commission's decision. The Planning Commission took testimony,had all of the
issues outlined to them and unanimously voted that this project is consistent with how they
see OAC .
Councilmember Garcia, questioned if the issues that were brought up by Mr. Johnson were
expanded from what the Planning Commission received.
Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that the only thing that
he can see that has changed is the width of the street, which he feels he addressed.
City Attorney Harper,stated that what the appellant is allowed and obligated to do is present.

CLOSED SESSION
A. City Manager's Bi-Annual Evaluation
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that the evaluation of the City Manager and
the staff that you rely on for decisions is so alarming to the citizens of Grand Terrace. The
staff are not seasoned attorneys and you are taking their opinion over the law at the risk of
the community and money and she has a problem with that. Many people in Grand Terrace
are dissatisfied with Mr. Schwab's performance. Over the past few years, complaints have
been expressed by many citizen's in Grand Terrace about how Mr. Schwab is managing our
City. Your evaluation of him needs to reflect all of the problems that we have and continue
to have. As Councilmembers,you need to have the best legal advice to protect all residents
and you are not,getting that. Your continued support of Mr. Schwab and ignoring the
concerns of the residents is very alarming. Council is responsible for the problems that Mr.
Schwab is causing Grand Terrace if you continue to support.him. She and others in this City
feel very strongly that the Council owe it to the Citizen's of this City to hire a new City
Manager in which they can have confidence and who better represents the needs of the
community. You have a big job to do and you need to do the right thing.
Mayor Ferre announced that the Council met in Closed Session to discuss the CityManager's

CRA ITEM (')- _)COUNCIL ITEM (X)
SUBJECT:REDLINING 80 FT.OF BERM CURBING IN FRONT OF 22182 AND
22172 BARTON ROAD
NO FUNDING REQUIRED (X)
-BACKGROUND
The City of Grand Terrace received several complaints over the past fewfmonths
regarding vehicles parking in front of 22182 and 22172 Barton Road.
Situation:
When the Lion's Club Community Center holds an event with a high turn-out, a few of
the cars/.trucks'will'park on the berm section of.Barton Road--in front of 22182 and
22972 Barton-- creating a traffic hazard.
Here are the comments from Craig Neustaedter, City Traffic engineer, on this subject:
1) The outside curb lane width is insufficient to allow on street parking where the
parkway is indented on Barton Road.
2) Parked vehicles create a sight distance obstruction for southbound vehicles on
Vivienda Avenue approaching the intersection with Barton Road.
Letters were sent out to the property owners on March 17th with an additional
confirmation mailing sent on May 8th requesting approval of the red-liniiig'in front.of
both properties. The,property owners have agreed on the red-lining work.
RECOMMENDATION:
STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL TO ALLOW THE CITY MAINTENANCE STAFF TO PAINT
AN 80 FT.RED ZONE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE BERMIN FRONT OF 22182 AND.22172
BARTON ROAD.

From: Craig S. Neustaedter,'City Traffic Engineering Consultant
Subject: Parking on Barton Road at Northeast Corner of Vivienda Avenue
Per your request, I have reviewed parking on Barton Road at the northeast corner of Vivienda
Avenue. I recommend that parking be prohibited on Barton.Road from the parkway
indentation on Barton Road to the curb return at Vivienda Avenue. The curb length where
parking would be prohibited would be approximately 80 feet. It is recommended that parking
be prohibited for the following reasons:
1) The outside curb lane width is insufficient to allow on street parking where the
parkway is indented on Barton Road.
2) Parked vehicles create a,sight distance obstruction for southbound vehicles-on
Vivienda Avenue approaching the intersection with Barton Road.
