CRA ITEM ( X) COUNCIL ITEM ( ) MEETING DATE: May 26, 2009
FUNDING REQUIRED: ( ) NO FUNDING REQUIRED ( X )
SUBJECT: REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO UNDERGROUND UTILITIES ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF BARTOKROAD BETWEEN CANAL STREET
AND MOUNT VERNON AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to coordinate utility relocation design and
obtain bids for the proposed project using Redevelopment
funds
Background:
a
As a result of the project approval for Barton Plaza at the northwest corner of Barton
Road and Mount Vernon Avenue, staff has been working with the developer and the
utility companies to determine the feasibility of undergrounding the utilities on the north
side of Barton Road between Mount 'Vernon Avenue and Canal Street. Due to an
existing business adjacent to Barton Plaza which obtains service overhead,
undergrounding services only adjacent to the Barton Plaza project is not the best
solution. Therefore, staff is proposing to underground the entire block on the north side
of Barton Road during construction of Barton Plaza.
The undergrounding project does not meet Rule 20 requirements for Southern
California Edison funding because only one side of Barton Road is included. Due to the
projected cost to underground major transmission lines on the south side of Barton
Road, only the north side is recommended at this time as existing conditions are a
negative visual impact to the new commercial plaza.
Without a confirmed cost from AT&T, staff has estimated project costs will be between
$273,000 and $300,000 (see Attachment No. 1). After the design and specifications are
complete and construction bids obtained, staff will return to the Agency and City Council
for a final budget request and bid award. Additional funding may be requested to
address the underground connections to two existing buildings now relying on overhead
service.
CRA AGENDA ITEM NO.

Staff Report
Page 2 of 2
Design and bid specification preparation will take approximately three monlIhs. Staff
anticipates returning the Agency and Council in September or October 2009 to award
the bid. Actual construction will take two months.
Recommendation:
Direct staff to work with utility companies to prepare design plans and bid specifications
and return to the Council and Agency for bid award and project budget appropriation.
The bid is awarded by the City Council, and the funding would be approved by the
Agency. i
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the conceptual project is estimated to be approximately $300,000,
including design Iand administration. This project can be funded by the Redevelopment
Agency, 80% available fund balance of approximately $5 million (after deduction of $2.7
million reservation for future debt service).

PUBLIC COMMENT
Jan Bledsoe, 22573 Van Buren Street, stated that she has lived in Grand Terrace for many
years. She indicated that she met Steve Berry 12 years ago when he worked for BFI. She
stated that at no time, during the many years that Steve has used their professional services
has he ever asked anything for himself. He has always been very conservative as to the cost
to the City and in the many years that he has worked for the City she has seen incredible
changes that have given a renewed feeling. She feels that there are big concerns facing the
City in the upcoming months and she questioned whether Mr. Schwab would be capable of
handling a rigorous task.
Gene Carlstrom, 113 5 Bonita Drive,Colton,stated that he was a former Councilmember and
Mayor Pro Tem. He indicated that he has a business in Grand Terrace. He feels that the City
may be looking for a chance to change the leadership of Grand Terrace City Hall. He is not
aware that in the running for City Council or hiring a key employee that a physical is
required. When hiring for a key position with the City isn't it normal to solicit and interview
applicants for that position. Isn't it normal for a government employee who has been victim
of an illness to be allowed to return to their job provided a reasonable amount of time has
elapsed and the employee is no longer in the care of a physician. There was a question about
Mr. Schwab's capabilities. Why was he given the task of preparing the Current City budget
J a few months back. He retains the upmost respect of the entire City Staff for his status and
devotion to the servants of this community. In his opinion it is disrespect to the leader who
has steered the City through a period of time without scandal and discourse many of the cities
around have experienced and kept Grand Terrace in a respectable financial position. Right
is right and wrong is wrong.
John Bledsoe,22573 Van Buren Street,thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak in
public in Grand Terrace and able to have a voice. He stated that things are good and some
things are not so good. There is a turn on everything when it comes to people and positions.
He stated that he keeps receiving a paper,which is why he is speaking tonight. He feels that
things have been so one sided and he needs to speak up. He stated that there are two very
good men and both need to be respected. He feels that newspapers should not have an
agenda. He supports Steve Berry and everything that he has done for Grand Terrace.
Betty Trimble,22816 DeBerry Street,stated that she would like to comment on two matters
this evening. First she thanked the Council for their time and effort expended to get our high
school named Grand Terrace High School. She gave special thanks to the Committee. They
were outstanding and worked non-stop to reach their goal. She thanked Mayor Ferre for her
professional way that she represents the City at meetings, ground breakings and with the
media. Councilmember Stanckiewitz never gave up and was a constant reminder that the
board needed to do the right thing. The second matter is regarding the City Manager. Some
time ago her husband was talking to someone from another City and they commented how
Council Minutes
05/12/2009

fortunate he was to live in Grand Terrace. Her husband replied that he knew that but what
do you mean. He replied that you never hear of a real problem. It is a safe place and one of
the best cities in which to live. You always have a balanced budget and never seem to have
a problem large enough that can't be handled. There is an easy answer for that. Grand
Terrace has had an exceptional City Manager. Things have changed in recent months,there
is a rumor that we won't get our City Manager back. Normally when someone is out for an
illness that position is protected and they are waiting for that person when their health
returns. To bring back the City Manager that has performed so well for a city for 20 years
is the honorable thing to do. We have tough times ahead of us and we need a seasioned City
Manager taking care of business. She is a walker and you get the pulse of the City by talking
to citizens. The citizens are tired of rumors. She encouraged the Council to listen to the
people.
Virginia Harford, 11825 Arliss Way, stated that she attended last months CounciiI Meeting
and was struck down. She was so astounded, she could not speak. Everyone encouraged
Tom Schwab to return to his job. Several in the audience praised him and made their wishes
known. Not one person on the Council came forward and thanked or acknowledge the work
and contributions that Steve Berry has given to the City of Grand Terrace. Throughout all
of the speeches she thought surely someone would come forward and show appreciation for
all of his work. After all he has preserved Tom Schwab's job for him in good order. It is her
understanding that Grand Terrace is in good financial shape,which is difficult for other small
towns to say. This condition is due, in most part, to the efforts of Steve Berry. She
appreciates Tom Schwab, she likes him,he has been good to her and gives her an interview
whenever she asks for one. She feels that it is appropriate for him to return to his job, but
couldn't he have said a few word in appreciation of Steve's work. She questioned why we
can't keep both of them. There is a rag that has been circulated that says damaging things
about Steve that she believes are untrue and printed only to hurt him and she feels that Grand
Terrace should come to his rescue. She feels that Steve is a good man and not a criminal.
He works diligently for the City of Grand Terrace and his family can be hurt by this rag. She
feels that the City of Grand Terrace should demand an apology.
Richard Loder. 12610 Garden Avenue,thanked the Council for the opportunity to share his
feelings about the subject of City Manager. He stated that he would like to point out that he
has no preference for either Tom Schwab or Steve Berry. While he has never had the
opportunity to work with Mr. Schwab, his past record of providing a safe and comfortable
community for him to raise his family speaks for itself. As for Mr.Berry,he has had several
business and community dealings with him and he has always been professional and
efficient. As this debate whips through the community a new term has surfaced, the old
guard and a new guard. He is 42 years old, has lived in Grand Terrace his entire life, he is
a soccer dad, a cub scout leader and a City of Grand Terrace Business owner. He receives
many hugs and handshakes at the Lion's Club pancake breakfast as he does at opening
ceremonies for soccer. Which guard does he belong to? How about that of a grateful and

proud resident of the City of Grand Terrace. He wants to remind everyone that the decision
of selecting a City Manager is one of the most important decisions affecting the future of this
great City. With that being said he feels that the citizens deserve the best choice that the
Council can provide and to reach that goal it is imperative that the Council exhaust every
resource available to them. He strongly believes that given the import of the position of City
�- Manager to the community and City of Grand Terrace it is vital that a recruitment search be
conducted in order that we avail ourselves of the very best City administration. Although
there may be additional costs involved in a recruitment process, the return of this effort to
the community offers the opportunity to leave no stone unturned and therefore will be
invaluable. The citizens that the Council represents deserve the best. Let's not squander a
golden opportunity to keep Grand Terrace great.
