DRISCOLL;"Chief _ .. i'r�/�/ FIRE WARDEN EMERGENCY SERVICES Its\\\ COUNTY SERVICE 38 PROPOSITION 4 OVERRIDE ELECTION MEASURE S 1. What is Proposition 4' Proposition 4, also called the Gann Spending Limit, is a partner to Proposition 13. Proposition 13 limits the amount of property taxes government can collect, and Proposition, 4, passed by the voters in 1979, limits the amount of property taxes government can spend. This spending limit is determined based on changes in cost of living and population. 2. What is County Service Area 38 (CSA 38)? CSA 38 is the primary funding source as supported through a portion of property taxes collected which allows the San Bernardino County Forestry and Fire Warden Department (F & FW) to provide fire protection and emergency medical services to those unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County not protected by fire district. The cities of Highland, Grand Terrace and Yucaipa, as contributors to CSA 38, are also provided fire protection through CSA 38. 3. Can the Prop 4 Spending Limit be increased? Yes. An increase in Proposition 4 spending limit can occur only when there is an election with the majority of voters approving such an increase. If an increase is approved it can remain in effect for no more than four years. At the end of the four year period the spending limit increase ends. If a spending increase is still needed, an election must again be held so that the taxpayer can again decide if a spending limit increase is warranted. 4. What effect does a Proposition 4 Spending Limit Increase have on ones property taxes? None. An increase in the Proposition 4 Spending Limit will not increase property taxes, it will only allow increases in the spending authority on funds that are currently being generated by CSA 38 for CSA 38 fire protection. MORE C lI 5. Has CSA 38 ever had a Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase? Yes. A Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase was approved when an election was held on June 6, 1989, whereby the CSA 38 taxpayers allowed a spending limit increase of $3 million dollars over a four year period to support CSA 38 fire protection needs. 6. Why have another Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase election? The Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase which was approved in June, 1989, will end June 30, 1993. If there are to be sufficient funds available to continue providing the basic level of fire protection for the next four years, a second Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase election will need to occur in order to again authorize an increase in the CSA 38 spending limit authority. A spending limit of $4 million dollars will be needed to insure that fire protection services are available for the next four years. 7. When will the Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase election be held? This election will be held on November 3, 1992, as part of a county special election with only CSA 38 registered voters eligible to vote on this measure. This Proposition 4 Spending Limit will be identified on the ballot as Measure S . 8. What happens if the Proposition 4 Spending Limit increase election fails? If the election fails to receive a voter majority, fire protection funding will revert back to the 1985-86 Proposition 4 limit with adjustments made for any changes in cost of living and population. This will reduce fire protection funding by 30 percent. This means that the F & FW Department will have to reduce the current level of fire protection services by 30 percent. The department will be forced to lay off fire fighting and support personnel and close fire stations. The department will be unable to replace fire engines, fire equipment and safety clothing which protects fire fighting personnel. IN SHORT, THE FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES THAT CSA 38 CURRENTLY RECEIVES WILL BE REDUCED. 4 fw TO THE RESIDENTS OF COUNTY SERVICE AREA 38 1. WHAT IS COUNTY SERVICE AREA 38? YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. 2. WHAT IS MEASURE S ? IT IS THE BALLOT MEASURE TO INCREASE THE PROPOSITION 4 SPENDING LIMIT FOR YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. 3. WILL IT INCREASE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES? NO! IT ALLOWS YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SPEND TAX DOLLARS ALREADY AVAILABLE . 4. WHEN IS THE ELECTION? NOVEMBER 3, 1992 DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION. FOR DETAILED INFORMATION, REFER TO REVERSE SIDE C R COUNTY SERVICE AREA 38 PROPOSITION 4 ELECTION MEASURE S 1. What is Proposition 47 Proposition 4, also called the Gann Spending Limit, is a partner to Proposition 13 Proposition 13 established the amount of property taxes government can collect, and Proposition 4 passed by the voters in 1979, limits the amount of property taxes government can spend. This spending limit is determined based on changes in cost of living and population increase. 2. Why an election' The only way to increase the Proposition 4 Spending Limit is to hold an election With voter approval, the Spending Limit may be increased, so the fire department can spend the taxes that can be collected. If the increase is approved, it will be in effect for 4 years. At the end of the 4 years, an election must be held again so that taxpayers can decide to continue to allow the increase. A Proposition 4 increase was approved by you on June, 6, 1989 It is time to bring the issue to you for renewal. 3. What effect does a Proposition 4 Spending Limit Increase have on my property taxes? NONE' An increase in the Proposition 4 Spending Limit will not increase property taxes, it will only allow increases in the spending authority on funds that are currently being generated by County Service Area 38 for your fire department. 4. What happens if the Proposition 4 Spending Limit Increase Election fails' If the election fails to receive a voter majority, fire protection funding will revert back to the 1985-86 Proposition 4 limit with adjustments made for any changes in cost of living and population. This will reduce your fire department funding by 30 percent. This means that your fire department will have to reduce the current level of fire protection services by 30 percent. The fire department will be forced to lay off fire fighting and support, personnel and close fire stations. The department will be unable to replace fire engines, fire equipment and safety clothing which protects fire fighting personnel. IN SHORT, THE FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES THAT YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY PROVIDES WILL BE REDUCED. For more information, please call (714) 881-6900 Ask for DiAnne Broussard 1 Argument in Favor of Measure Increase Spending Authority for County Service Area 38 MEASURE S IS NOT A TAX INCREASE. A "YES" vote on Measure 0 will allow County Service Area 38, your fire department, to spend the funds that are now being collected. A "NO" vote could cause a 30% reduction in fire protection service. Proposition 4 established spending limits and a formula for the spending limits to increase. The demand for service in County Service Area 38 has exceeded the spending limits established by law. It is necessary for you to approve an increase in the County Service Area 38 spending limit so that the basic level of fire protection service can continue for the next four years. A "YES" VOTE IS RECOMMENDED ON THIS MEASURE The undersigned authors of the primary argument in favor of the ballot measure for Increased Spending Authority at the general election for County Service Area 38 to be held on November 3, 1992, hereby state that such argument is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. BARBARA CRAM RIORDAN, Supervisor San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors /7 Dated: I �/ Q j� nature DAVID J. DRISCOLL, County Fire Warden San Bernardino County mr il 1; Dated: 7-27.9 .12% Signature R^9UTTAL ARGUM7Nrn AGAINST ARGTTMFNT IN FAVOR OP MFASUR^ INCREASF SPE'NDIN* ATTTHORITY FOR COUNTY SERVICF AREA 38 c One of the Author' s of the Primary Argument in favor of Measure has a financial conflict of interest. The California Constitution, Article 13-B Section 3-C , reads in part: "In the event of an emergency the current appropriation limit can be exceeded." A "YES" vote means that you, the voter, have agreed to allow the Fire Distri to double its budget spending from about two million dollars to four million dollars, without any explanation, except that Agiiit they need it. A reminder, you the voter, do not own the Fire District. You have no say in who they hire, who they fire, or their salary structure; but you do contr the amount of millions they spend. Vote "NO" and control their spending to the two-percent increase over the preceeding year operatinc cost as the California Constitution allows. The California Constitution, Article 13-9 Section 2-9, roads in part: "Surplus revenues receive by a entity of government when it is not spert, shall be returned by a revision of a tax rate '„ a fee schedules, for the next two Tears " �d He C. tepia-- Date: August 8, 1992 T easurer _ -- �' The Committee that Oppose County Service Area 38, Appropriations Limit FILED 911665 AUG 11 1$92 .+wT Aa ur({ruttri.

At present, the Fire District, has a spending limit of about two million dollars and permitted about a two-percent raise, each year, over the precedin year expenditures. Article X111-3-Section-1, California Constitution. Section 4, of the same Article, reads in part: "That only you by a YES vote can vote a change in the spending or appropriations limit, as requested. " It will also increase the budget of the Fire District to Four Million Dollars plus their two-percent raise each Tear and could cause the parcel owners to pay the Four Million Dollars through Service Fees, each year, which is not a tax. A NO vote, would require the Fire District to survive within their present budget and their two-percent increase, each year, as they have 'seen doing in the past. Let no one mislead you. A NO vote will not effect your Fire Service. This is strictly a budget matter. The Committee that oppose County Service Area 38 Appropriations Limit (State I.D. 911665) recommends a NO vote on the aforesaid Measure. _niel, ..--%/q0-re-- Helen C. Steppe Treasurer 1 SPECIAL ELECTION COUNTY SERVICE AREA 38 SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA ANALYSIS OF BALLOT MEASURE This Measure will be presented to the voters of County Service Area 38 at a special District election to be consolidated with any other election held in the same territory on November 3 , 1992 . The Measure proposes authorization to expend certain revenues. It does not propose a tax. Voters will vote "Yes" or "No" on the proposal. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution places a maximum limitation upon the authority of governmental agencies to appropriate the proceeds of tax revenues and state subventions (grants of aid) . The method of computing the limitation for County Service Area 38 (hereinafter -"the District") is set forth in Article XIIIB, and the limitation derived thereby may be changed only by the electors of the District. The estimated appropriations limitation for the District for Fiscal Year 1992-93 is $8, 376,216. Unless the electors of the District approve an increase of said appropriations limitation, the District cannot appropriate or expend tax and state subvention revenues beyond the prescribed limitation, regardless of the amount of revenues actually received by the District. The Ballot Measure proposes that the above limitation be increased by $4, 000, 000 for each of the four fiscal years in the period from July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1997. A "Yes" vote is a vote in favor of increasing the District's annual appropriations limitation as proposed. A "No" vote is a vote against increasing said limitation. This Measure will be approved if it receives a "Yes" vote from a majority of the qualified electors voting on the Measure. If the Measure is not approved, the appropriations limitation calculated for the District in accordance with the provisions of Article XIIIB of the Constitution will continue to be operative.

PUBLIC COMMENT Jim Singley, 11996 Paradise, Grand Terrace; announced his candidacy for City Council, expressed regret that Mayor Pro Tem Grant is not seeking re-election, and offered support for the remaining two incumbents. He complimented the City Council and the Staff and expressed appreciation for the support he has received as a candidate He added that he is looking forward to the opportunity to serve the City as a Councilmember. Barbara Pfennighausen 22111 Ladera Street, Grand Terrace, indicating that she recently read an article about Grand Terrace in the Press Enterprise, chastised the Sun newspaper for its failure to provide press coverage for the City. She mentioned that she secured a copy of the Grand Terrace Unification Mini-Study from the City and added that the Mini-Study can also be obtained from the e . Council Minutes - 10/08/92 Page 3 Colton Joint Unified School District. She expressed dissatisfaction with the Mini-Study, which concludes that an additional study will be necessary to resolve the School District issue. She explained that the Mini-Study indicates the necessity of conducting a poll of the residents, but she remarked that the City already completed such a study. She commented that the previous study reveals that 62% of the City's population approved of a City School District and High School but disclosed that fewer than 60% of the residents were willing to finance the proposed School District. She explained that the people must pay for the projects that they desire. Criticizing the Mini-Study further, she commented that the Study only briefly addresses the expense to the homeowner's in Grand Terrace. She added that the Mini- Study indicates that the issue will need to be decided in a district-wide election thereby reducing the chance that the proposed school district will be approved. She remarked further that the Mini-Study reveals that if the City forms its own School District, that District will be funded at the same level as the Colton Joint Unified School District. She surmised that the City would then lose the special Federal and State project funding due schools that support disadvantaged students. Questioning the cost of the project, she indicated that the loss of funding for special programs will hinder the articulation of students into college. She expressed concern for students who rely on athletic scholarships to fund their educations and questioned how the City will finance high school scholarship programs. She warned of potential difficulties that may arise by combining students from the 7th to 12th grades on one campus. Furthermore, she inquired where a new high school will be located if Terrace Hills Junior High School is not utilized for the combined campus and pondered how the City will afford to build and maintain a high school She also related that all of the issues addressed in the Mini-Study must be approved by 2/3 of the voters. Revealing that 27% of the population, according to the previous Study, are senior citizens, she speculated that the City's non-senior population may be unwilling to sustain the cost of the proposed School District. In addition, she questioned the impact that the increase of student vehicle traffic will have on the area surrounding Terrace Hills Junior High School, adding that the only parking facility available minimally accommodates the teachers' vehicles. Airing her doubt as to the soundness of the final Mini- Study proposal, she explained that the Mini-Study indicates that the City Council will become the School District's Governing Board and the Administrative Council Minutes - 10/08/92 s Page 4 Officers of the City will become the Administrative Officers of the School District. J.R. Taylor, 22843 Vista Grande Way, Grand Terrace; suggested that the City hold a potluck to bid farewell to Mayor Pro Tem Grant and expressed his gratitude for the service that Mr. Grant has given to the City.

Council Reports Mayor Matteson, stated that in the past the City has repeatedly yet unsuccessfully attempted to acquire its own zip code He revealed, however, that the 92324 code has been exhausted and indicated that the City is now eligible for a new zip code. He questioned Staff regarding the time table for the implementation of the new zip code. City Manager Schwab, replied that the new zip code request will be submitted during the week of October 12. Mayor Matteson, revealed that the City Manager is negotiating to ensure that the new zip code is designated specifically for the City of Grand Terrace. Councilmember Hilkey, thanked Staff for the extra time and effort spent in preparing letters for a r Council Minutes - 10/08/92 Page 5 meeting, which was held at 11:00 a.m. on October 8, 1992, regarding the zip code. Mayor Matteson, announced that Saturday, October 10, 1992 is free dump day. He indicated that Citizen Patrol is experiencing mechanical problems with the patrol car and requested that Staff rectify the situation. He asked that City Manager Schwab explain the new radio system. City Manager Schwab, stated that the City relies upon the telephone system to communicate in times of natural disasters but commented that the recent, local earthquake activity revealed the potential inadequacy of that policy. He revealed that although Staff could communicate easily with one another, there was no direct communication between Staff and Council. He indicated that Council requested Staff to establish alternatives to phone communication during disasters and reported that the City developed a radio network that will provide ready communication with Council and will allow Council to listen to several networks that provide emergency information during disasters. He explained that the radio system will be effective since the community is small enough that Council or Staff can easily move to locations where the radios can transmit and receive. Mayor Pro Tem Grant, expressed his thanks to Jim Singley and John Taylor for their appreciation and support Councilmember Carlstrom, stated that although the property at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Barton Road was recently purchased by Mr Kohorst, the owner of Mr T.V Video, the sign at that location which registers the time and temperature was previously leased and, therefore, not included in the sale of the property. He questioned the disposition of the sign. City Manager Schwab, responded that Staff is working within the sign ordinance to allow Mr. T.V. Video to acquire a sponsor in order to retain and utilize the sign. Councilmember Hilkey, complimented the Recreation Department Staff for the success of the Tour de Terrace, commenting that the Tour was well F Council Minutes - 10/08/92 s Page 6 organized He reported that Comcast Cable is re- organizing at the management level, adding that the change will affect the City. He mentioned that a representative from Comcast stated that the residents of the City could access channel 48 for $7.95, adding that the statement was erroneous. Expressing dissatisfaction, he explained that Comcast has failed to switch Channel 48 and Channel 3 and has not provided the City with promised equipment. He emphatically stated that Comcast has never complied with the original commitments established by Teleprompter, which were subsequently adopted by Group W and Comcast. He expressed frustration that the new manager at Comcast has no knowledge of the Agreements between Comcast and the City. Mayor Matteson, expressed optimism for the resolution of the situation due to the recently passed legislation that regulates cable television. Councilmember Hilkey, revealed that all of the receiving and transmitting equipment for Comcast is located within the City limits and pondered whether the City has legal recourse to halt the operations of the company within Grand Terrace. He requested that Staff and the City Attorney investigate legal redress for Comcast's breach of contract. He concurred that the Mini-Study's conclusion that another Study will be necessary to resolve the School District issue is an unwarranted suggestion and clarified that the purpose of the Mini-Study was to address the nine issues that the State Department will consider when the application to establish a new school district is reviewed. He asserted that the Mini-Study indicated that seven of the nine issues are feasible and revealed that a committee is addressing the remaining issues. He stated that any taxes that may be necessary to upgrade Terrace Hills Junior High School will be determined by the citizenry, adding that he will function merely to present information to the County Committee He advised, however, that anyone over 55 without school-age children will be exempt from special taxes that may be levied to improve the Junior High School site. He implored the public to examine the Mini-Study, commenting that the Study clearly defines the State's requirements for the establishment of a school district. r r Council Minutes - 10/08/92 Page 7 Councilmember Christianson, applauded the Staff on the success of the Tour de Terrace and requested that the City Attorney research the new Cable Television Bill and ascertain the options that are available to the City regarding Comcast.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM# 5 A1.CQ' CITY OF GRAND TERRACE CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE MEETING, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 PAGE 2 MINUTES ITEMS: The Committee re-reviewed the notes that the Community #6 Services Officer had submitted to the Committee for either action or comments. The Committee felt that all the items listed had been responded to individually listing the items that were directly in proportion to the guidelines set forth by the City Council for the Crime Prevention Committee's responsibilities. Items directly involved in the format of what the purpose of this Committe is expected to do would be addressed to the Committee's best efforts. The Committee felt that far too much was now being introduced for tasks that Committee members felt were above and beyond what the Committee was founded for by the Council. Attached to the Minutes is a copy of the Purpose and Guidelines originally set forth by the Grand Terrace City Council. The purpose of the Crime Prevention Committee is to work with the Crime Prevention Officer of the Sheriff's Department in projects and programs that reduce crime and criminal activities with- in the City. The Committee felt that one of the most important issues at hand was the publication of a 'News Letter' outlixning details on Crime Reports, Criminal Activities with the City, cooperation among the citizenry, outline of City Codes that affect all residents. Additionally, a Crime Stopper's Program, promoting the Neighborhood Watch Program, Block Parent Programs and the FAN program, (Fax Alert Network) for our merchants. The Citizen Patrol needs more members and recruiting should be part of the Committees respi s isiblities. The Committee feels that these are it's responsibilities and it's goals. There being no further busnaess to discuss the Committee adjourned at 194-0 hours. Respec bm ted, Dick Rollins Recording Secretary. Rhr. / .
