SUBJECT: MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENTS FUNDING REQUIRED XX NO FUNDING REQUIRED The City Staff conducts an annual mid-year budget review to make any necessary adjustments that occurred as a result of unanticipated changes. Identified revenue and expense adjustments along with justification are as follows: Adjustments to Revenue Estimates 34-400-01 Housing Loan Repayment - Interest $ 10,000 34-400-02 Housing Loan Repayment - Principal $ 10, 000 To reflect revenue from the repayment of Low Income Housing Loans. Adjustments to Expenditures 32-200-251 CRA - Attorney Fees $ 10, 000 In past years attorney fees were paid 100% from the City General Fund. This is inappropriate, because attorney fees also benefit the redevelopment agency. It is estimated that $10, 000 of attorney fees will benefit the CRA. 33-300-200 CRA Loan Interest Expense -$ 45,1000 The City receives interest from a loan to the CRA. The interest rate on this loan is adjusted every six months based on the llth District Cost of Funds Index. This index has decreased 2% in the last twelve months; thus reducing interest expense $45, 000. C R A AGENDA ITEM NO.3 34-400-701 Educational Revenue Allocation Fund Transfer $ 451,740 The 1992/93 State Budget Act requires redevelopment agencies to shift $205 million to K-12 schools and community colleges. The State Department of Finance has determined our share to be $451,740. The Budget Act allows payment to be made from the low and moderate income housing set-aside funds. However set-aside funds that are used must be repaid by the year 2003. A loan payable to the Low Income Housing Fund from the Community Redevelopment Capital Projects Fund will be reflected in the financial records. CHANGES IN PROJECTED YEAR-END FUND BALANCES AS A RESULT OF MID-YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS Community Redevelopment Capital Projects Fund: Increased Appropriations -$ 10,000 Decreased Appropriations 45,000 Proposed Increase to Fund Balance 35,000 Revised Projected Fund Balance (Unreserved) $ 596,606 Low Income Housing Fund: Increased Revenue Estimate $ 20, 000 Increased Appropriations -451,740 Proposed Decrease to Fund Balance -431,740 Revised Projected Fund Balance $ 430, 624 Staff Recommends that Council: 1. INCREASE FY 1992/93 ESTIMATED REVENUE $20,000 TO REFLECT REPAYMENT OF LOW INCOME HOUSING LOANS 2. APPROPRIATE $10, 000 FOR CITY ATTORNEY FEES BENEFITING THE CRA 3 . DECREASE APPROPRIATION $45,000 FOR CRA LOAN INTEREST EXPENSE 4. APPROPRIATE $451,740 FOR TRANSFER TO THE EDUCATION REVENUE ALLOCATION FUND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 1992/93 STATE BUDGET ACT CITY OF GRAND TERRACE 1 DATE.

He disclosed the Department's willingness to increase patrols and personnel in the area prior to the construction of the park to address the security concerns of the public. He also indicated the Department's willingness to regulate parking problems that may arise as a result of the development of the Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 4 park. He also noted that the Grand Terrace Citizen Patrol will be available to assist in mitigating potential crime stemming from the Pico Park.

He declared that graffiti would be removed from the park immediately. Councilmember Sinalev, queried the Sheriff's Department as to the effectiveness of the apprehension and prosecution of taggers.

Councilmember Sinalev_, inquired as to whether the parking lot for the proposed park will be lit. Planning Director Materassi, replied in the affirmative, adding that lights are proposed for installation in the street. Assistant City Manager Anstine, remarked that photo- sensitive security lights will be installed around the concession stand. Mayor Matteson, questioned if the park fencing had been discussed by the Planning Commission. Planning Director Materassi, responded that the Planning Commission recommended the installation of a six-foot high sound attenuation block wall along the border of the park that is adjacent to residences. She also recited additional conditions for the park, stating, "The park should remain open during daylight hours for community access, including parking; otherwise, the park should be closed as per City Ordinance. No vehicular access permitted after dusk unless activities are taking place. Physical barriers need to be installed to facilitate enforcement of those regulations similar to DeBerry Park. " She stated that the Planning Commission did not specify that the fencing needed to traverse the perimeter of the park. Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 6 Councilmember Sinctlev, observed that there are no indications of a sidewalk on the south side of the park along Pico Street on the Conceptual Plan. Planning Director Materassi, stated that sidewalks are recommended and will be installed as funds become available. Mayor Matteson, inquired whether parallel or diagonal parking was considered to maximize the available parking space. Planning Director Materassi, replied in the negative, explaining that the parks in the City will share activities which will serve to minimize parking problems. Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, noted that the close proximity of the planned parking to the field at the proposed park may alleviate any problems with participants parking along the street. Councilmember Hilkev_, stated that the park on DeBerry is 5 acres and added that the parking lot has eighty-four stalls. He related that a representative from SCE measured the power line emissions at the park on DeBerry and suggested that measurements be taken at the proposed site. He questioned whether the Pico Park plans provide for bleachers in the spectator area around the baseball diamonds. Assistant City Manager Anstine, commented that the overall plan incorporates bleacher-type seating to the rear of each baseball diamond. Planning Director Materassi; mentioned that the Planning Commission recommends that one of the bleachers be enlarged to accommodate crowds generated by major activities. Councilmember Hilkev, requested clarification that the current park budget includes the installation of the bleachers. Assistant City Manager Anstine, replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Hilkey, questioned whether there is a policy that dictates the direction that a baseball diamond faces. He suggested that the field design be Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 7 rotated 90 degrees to orient the baseball diamonds northwest. Chris Herman, Consultant, RHA Landscaping; responded that there is a well in the southwest corner of the proposed park site, thereby negating the placement of the baseball diamonds in any other orientation. Assistant City Manager Anstine, mentioned that the design and layout of the baseball diamonds was presented to the Grand Terrace Little League for examination. Councilmember Hilkey, commented that he is familiar with two types of walls that will deter graffiti: a block structure with 2" offsets and a vine covered wall. Planning Director Materassi, stated that the Planning Commission recommended the installation of vines along the proposed wall. Councilmember Hilkev, inquired as to the size of the vines that are to be planted and questioned the length of time necessary for the vines to cover the wall. Chris Herman, Consultant, RHA Landscaping; speculated that the vines would cover the wall within a year or a year and a half, depending on the space between each plant. Councilmember Hilkey, inquired whether the park would contain any tennis courts. Assistant City Manager Anstine, responded in the negative. Councilmember Hilkey_, questioned the destination of the water that drains along Pico Street. City Engineer Kicak, replied that as the water reaches the west side of Pico in the vicinity of the Edison facility, it turns northerly along the railroad track and progresses along the east side of the track, eventually turning left into a blind channel. Councilmember Hilkey, asked whether any of the water drained onto Pico. City Engineer Kicak, remarked that there will be a small amount of drainage from the park at the location of the curb and sidewalk, which is 1/4" per foot. He added that Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 8 any landscaping along the back of the sidewalk that slopes toward the street will also drain onto Pico. He stated that the remaining water will sheet-flow onto the 60' easement. Councilmember Hilkev, questioned the location of the parking in the southeast corner, commenting that since the City is contemplating acquiring additional acreage nearby, the parking and the concession stand should be situated in the center of the 10 acres. Assistant City Manacrer Anstine, explained that the City owns only 5 acres where the permanent facility will be installed, adding that the City cannot install any permanent facilities on the leased SCE property which resides on the west side of the proposed park. Councilmember Hilkev, inquired as to whether the concession building, parking, and basketball courts could be located where the adult baseball diamond is planned.

He explained further that the water line divides the property, with the City owning the property east of the line. Councilmember Hilkev, referring to speed controls and the installation of parking signs in the vicinity of DeBerry park, questioned whether such measures could be applied to the proposed park. Assistant City Manacter Anstine, commented that the City can paint warnings and regulatory legends in the street in addition to the institution of proactive law enforcement patrols in the area. Councilmember Hilkey, queried the City Attorney as to whether the City can discourage people from outside the City from using the City's parks. City Attorney Harper, replied that everyone is entitled to utilize the parks since the parks are public property. Councilmember Hilkev, recommeneded that enhancement of the block wall vines and the painting of speed limit legends on Pico should be included in the approval of the park plans. Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 9 Mayor Matteson, surmising that eighty-four parking spaces are inadequate for the 5 acre park on DeBerry, concluded that ninety-four spaces will be insufficient for Pico Park. Councilmember Hilkey_, observed that there is additional parking at the park on DeBerry due to the proximity of the school but intimated that there is no additional parking available at the proposed park. Assistant City Manager Anstine, remarked that the addition of the soccer fields in the proposed park will serve to alleviate congestion on DeBerry Street, explaining that the participants will be divided between the two sites. Jim Burns, Southern California Edison; indicated that Edison would be open to negotiation for the purchase of additional property for parking.

Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, mentioned a letter he received from Comcast Cable that indicates a rate increase will become effective in the future. He expressed uncertainty as to the extent of the City's ability to regulate the cable company within Grand Terrace. City Attorney Harper, explained that the Federal Cable T.V. Act directed the Federal Communications Commission to draft regulations within 180 days of the passage of the Act. He remarked that one of the regulations will eliminate the cable companies' practice of requiring subscribers to obtain cable boxes, thereby abolishing the cable companies' ability to generate revenue from each television within a household. Mayor Matteson, inquired whether the regulations would be retroactive, indicating his belief that the Act became effective on January 1, 1993. Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 12 City Attorney Harper, responded that the legislation did become effective as of the first of the year but added that the regulations will not be retroactive. Mayor Matteson, voiced his belief that the legislation granted cities the right to censor the cable rates. City Attorney Harper, clarified that the legislation provides a system to determine whether or not a rate is reasonable. Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, announced that he attended a Chamber of Commerce Mixer on January 13 , 1993 . He remarked that a tenant has been located to occupy the ' former Chief Auto Parts store building and expressed his belief that the Chamber is negotiating to acquire a tenant for the former Sprouse-Reitz store. City Manager Schwab, stated that he met with the Chamber and discovered that a potential tenant has revealed an interest in occupying two-thirds of the space in the former Sprouse-Reitz building. Indicating that he questioned the Chamber regarding the proposed expansion of Stater Brother's, he related that the grocery company has communicated an interest in obtaining 10' of the Sprouse-Reitz building; however, he disclosed that the necessity of eliminating the current fire wall and rebuilding another 2-hour fire wall, for the installation of a bakery, has discouraged the company. He indicated that the Chamber plans to renegotiate with Stater Brother's but announced that the former Chief Auto Parts structure will be occupied within a month. Mayor matteson, inquired as to the type of business conducted by the tenants who will occupy the Chief Auto Parts building. City Manager Schwab, speculated that the business may be hardware or dry goods. Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, questioned whether the new tenants in the Stater Brother's center will be required to comply with the City's signage requirements. Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 13 Planning Director Materassi, replied in the affirmative, explaining that the signs of the Center's new tenants will not be subsidized by the Community Redevelopment Agency. She stated further that the "grandfathered" tenants do not need to comply with the City's sign code but disclosed that City funds are still available for tenants in that center who wish to repair their signs. Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, reporting that newly elected Assemblyman Joe Baca has scheduled a mini- economic summit for January 22, 1993 , suggested that a member of Council attend that meeting. Mayor Matteson, announced that the Tri-City Mixer will be held at the L.A. Cellular office on Orange Show Road and "E" Street on January 21, 1993 . Councilmember Carlstrom, stated that he attended the monthly SANBAG meeting on January 6, 1993, reporting that the topic of the meeting was the purchase of 22 acres in Montclair for the development of a train station. He disclosed that SANBAG was authorized to offer $655, 000 for the property but remarked that the property owner is seeking $685,000, with additional concessions. Stating that his motion to support SANBAG's offer was seconded, he declared his determination to limit or decrease the expenditure of Measure I and Proposition 111 tax funds. He announced that he attended the Traffic Control Measures (TCM) Policy Committee meeting, which is sponsored by the Air Quality Management District, on January 12 , 1993 . Indicating that the purpose of the committee meetings is to determine methods to moderate air pollution through the reduction of motor vehicle emissions, he explained that the Committee's goal is to reduce vehicle trips by 635, 000 trips per day, which equates to a reduction of 400 trips per day for the City of Grand Terrace. He commented that drivers need to become more aware of motor vehicle pollution, suggesting that drivers eliminate unnecessary driving and consolidate trips whenever possible. He reported further that an Ordinance regulating emissions will be brought before Council in June 1993 . Councilmember Hilkey, questioned the validity of the Agreement between the City and Comcast Cable since the equipment that was to be installed in Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 14 October 1992 in accordance with the Agreement has not been installed. City Attorney Harper, remarked that the City can sue to enforce the Agreement, asserting that the Agreement is valid and binding but indicating that legal action may not resolve the situation. Mayor Matteson, requested that the City Manager investigate the issue and report back to Council. He also expressed dissatisfaction with Comcast Cable. City Attorney Harper, commented that the equipment installation is a condition of the franchise and asserted that the City can notify the company that the franchise is void and solicit bids for cable service in Grand Terrace. Councilmember Hilkev, questioned the extent of the effectiveness of a settlement against Comcast. City Attorney Harper, responded that any judgement would be against any asset of the corporation. Mayor Matteson, suggested that the City delay any action on the matter until the City Manager has contacted Comcast in order to ascertain the company's intentions. Councilmember Hilkev_, reported that the City's zip code request has been rejected. He stated that the City is appealing the decision, adding that Mayor Matteson and the City's congressional representative have corresponded with the postal service in an attempt to justify the City's zip code request. He remarked that the Chamber will also correspond with the Postal Service on behalf of the City and solicited support from the citizenry.

Councilmember Sinalev_, remarking that he attended the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting on January 4, 1993 , commended the Committee, Assistant City Manager Anstine, and Recreation Supervisor Karen Gerber for their efforts regarding the proposed Pico Park. He complimented the City Staff Council Minutes - 01/14/93 Page 15 for correcting the minor flooding problems the City experienced during the recent heavy rains and praised the Staff and the previous Council for developing the City's successful drainage system. He reported that the City experienced one major flooding problem during the storms but added that the City will request emergency funding to mitigate that situation.

Terrace Hills Community Park (5.35 acres), located on De Berry Street in the central portion of the City, is the second largest existing park within the community. The park provides playfields for active recreation and is located adjacent to the grounds of Terrace Hills Junior High School which provides additional facilities for active recreation, including a swimming pool. The school facilities are owned and maintained by the Colton Unified School District. Griffin Park (16 acres) is a small linear park located along the Metropolitan Water District easement in the northeastern portion of the City which provides a connection between Merle Court and Observation Drive It is intended primarily for passive recreational use gems. The playgrounds and playfields of Grand Terrace and Terrace View Elementary Schools also currently provide facilities for active recreational purposes at the neighborhood level. Approximately 5 0 V-1 Attachment 1 acres of recreational area is available for public use at each of these schools An agreement exists between the City of Grand Terrace and the Colton Unified School District for the use of these schools for public recreational purposes TABLE VI EXISTING RECREATIONAL FACILITIES City of Grand Terrace Terrace Hills Community Park 5 4 acres Pico Community Park ( erlm) 10 0 acres Griffin Park 16 acres Colton Unified School Distract Terrace Hills Junior High School 9 0 acres Grand Terrace Elementary School 5 0 acres Terrace View Elementary School 5 0 acres Total 36 0 acres Local park and recreation standards have been established to determine the appropriate size, type and number of recreational facilities needed to adequately serve a given population. These standards describe the basic conditions needed to fully serve a diverse population and can be used as a gauge to assess the adequacy of recreational facilities in the City of Grand Terrace The Grand Terrace General Plan adopted in 1983 established a minimum park acreage standard of 3 0 acres of parkland per 1,000 City residents At the time of the 1988 General Plan update, the City had attained and exceeded this standard for park acreage Despite the attainment of this goal, a perceived need still exists within the community for additional park and recreational facilities In particular, the City wishes to develop additional community-level park space with facilities ' for active recreation and organized play In order to establish a new and higher standard for parkland acreage and reflect the objective of developmg a community-level park, a total of 4 0 acres of local parkland per 1,000 City residents is recommended as a minimum standard to serve local recreational needs. This is a conservative,yet adequate,parkland standard which provides a realistic goal for the acquisition of park acreage over the life of this plan. While some communities have adopted a higher parkland standard,the recommended overall standard of 4.0 acres per 1,000 V-2 s residents is considered reasonable for a low-density community such as Grand Terrace at this time It should be emphasized that this represents a minimum standard and the acquisition of park acreage which exceeds this standard should not be discouraged Parkland standards and recreational facilities should be regularly reassessed to ensure that they continue to accurately accommodate the needs of the community Parks are commonly organized in a hierarchy based upon size and service area, and can include general or special purpose facilities, as �1' needs require Mini-parks, neighborhood parks and community parks are considered local parkland and are commonly found m communities of almost any size Metropolitan and regional parks are designed to serve a large population and are not usually included in the park systems of smaller communities — Mini-Park A mini-park or vest pocket park is intended to serve the special needs of a small portion of a neighborhood, usually a population of 500 to 2,500 people in a service area of no more than a quarter mile radius A mini-park may be a playlot for local children, a socializing area for seniors, or any other type of active or passive space depending upon the needs of the neighborhood. The size and location of the park usually depends upon the availability of vacant land more than any other factor In low-density, single-family communities such as Grand Terrace, mini-parks are less frequently established than in high-density areas, since private yards usually accommodate the purposes otherwise served by mini-parks — Neighborhood Park Neighborhood parks often adjoin elementary schools and usually serve a population of 2,000 to 10,000 people in a half mile radius service area. These parks usually contain active recreation areas such as ball diamonds, playgrounds, game courts and playfield as well as passive areas for relaxation, sitting and sometimes picnicking A neighborhood park should be accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists, and should provide some automobile parking area. The recommended minimum size for a neighborhood park is five acres V-3 -- Community Park Community parks are intended to serve several neighborhoods and often contain recreation facilities which require more space than the neighborhood park sites can easily accommodate These facilities may include a tennis complex, swimming pool, special purpose courts or a community center along with the usual playfields These parks are preferably located near a major thoroughfare for easy access. The recommended minimum size for community parks is 20 acres and, because of their large size,location is often dependent upon the availability of land. Community parks are intended to serve a population `- ` of 10,000 to 50,000 with a service radius of one to two miles As a matter of local public policy, the City should actively endeavor to achieve and maintain the minimum standards for recreational facilities as put forth in this element. Park acreage should ideally be distributed among the vanous classifications of park types described above, as needs indicate Facility standards for specific activities must also be considered in recreational programming and m facility use and allocation decisions The standards presented in Table V-3 provide a guide for the provision of various recreational facilities based upon national criteria. Usmg these standards, the provision of adequate facilities needed to serve an ultimate City population of 14,408 persons can be estimated The minimum number of each type of facility which should be provided based upon these standards is shown in Table V-3 The City already exceeds the minimum recommended number of facilities for certain activities such as volleyball and soccer In a commumty the size of Grand Terrace, certain facilities can be combined to serve multiple purposes For instance, football and soccer can be accommodated in a joint-use playfield and a single center could achieve the purposes of a neighborhood center,a community center and a multiple recreational court facility(gymnasium) Even if the City achieves the standards for the amount or number of facilities, there should be a contmumg effort to assess the quality of these facilities and perform upgrades, as necessary V-4 TABLE V-2 PARK STANDARDS Acres/ Type 1 ,000 people Size Range Service Area Mini .25 - .5 1 acre or less .25 mile Neighborhood 1 .0 - 2.0 5 - 20 acres .25 - .5 mile Community 2.0 - 8.0 20 - 100 acres 1 - 2 miles TABLE V-3 FACILITY STANDARDS Future Facility Unit/Population Service Area City Needs* Basketball 1 per 5,000 .25 - .5 mile --3-- 1 Tennis 1 per 2,000 .25 - .5 mile 7 Volleyball 1 per 5,000 .25 - .5 mile 3 Baseball 1 per 5,000 .25 - .5 mile 3 -aselteff--yghted- 1-1,er-397999 -1-- 0 Softball (and youth baseball) 1 per 5,000 .25 - .5 mile -3- 2 Football 1 per 20,000 15 - 30 min. travel 1 -Somer. 1--per-1-&- 1----2-rn Fes- -1-- 0 Multiple Recreation Court (basketball, volleyball, tennis) 1 per 10,000 1 - 2 miles 1 Swimming Pools 1 per 20,000 15 - 30 min. travel 1 Neighborhood Center 1 per 10,000 1 Community Center 1 per 25,000 1 * Based upon an ultimate population of 14,408.

TTEMS #1 In the abscence of the Crime Prevention Officer, Sharon Korgan, the Committee reviewed her written report and discussed the issues identified in the report Pertinent in this report was a notation that the Crime Prevention Committee "needs to be a working committee and not just mee- once a month for reports". Suggested in this report was that a review be made as just what this Committee' s re- sponsibilities are under the City' s Charter and what the Council actually expects from the activities of the Crime Prevention Committee #2 Included in this C S 0. Feoort was the notation that she would be unable to attend Committee meetings on Monday evenings due to the fact that she was attending College classes at Chaffee College for the next three months. It was discussed that perhaps we could change the meeting nights during that period. No vote was taken on that point, However a motion was made by JoAnn Johnson to change the time of the regualr meetings to 1800 hours for convenience sake. Bea Gigandet seconded the motion and it carried four to one with Dick Rollins replying with a nay. #3 Discussion on the Grand Terrace Day scheduled again for June, 1993 was led by Debra Meuller who is acting separatl-- from the Committee as Parade Director and Coordinator. #4 The Committee voted unanimously to vote for expenditure of $500.00 for buttons to be distributed for Red Ribbon Week for the Drug Interdiction schCOUNCtLACE t fM# Si 'i.(b‘ CITY OF GRAND TERRACE CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE MEETING, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1992 MENJTES PAGE TWO ITEMS 45 Bea Gigundet reported on the graffiti seen on the walls of the Catholic Church.

It appears that SANBAG's support would"help"project engineers to work on our comments The project manager from Becktell Co says that in order for the engineer to work on revising the plans, he needs direction from SANBAG, since the area is in San Bernardmo County Staff members at SANBAG say that the County of Riverside should fund it since traffic in question is generated in Riverside County At this time, the situation calls for immediate action. February 8, 1993 was the due date to provide comments on this project.

Comments on the Preliminary Plans for the I-215 Improvements Dear Mr Hughes, Per our conversation, please review the City of Grand Terrace comments attached I look forward to receiving an updated PSR as you mentioned on the phone and also to have a meeting with you and other staff from SANBAG to discuss the viability of the proposal, possibly prior to completion of updated PSR Bill, this issue is very serious for us, as we are a small city and as such, we are most times the"impacted"party We plan in advance and will take regional concerns into consideration when implementing local regulations Thank you very much for information and assistance provided to us Sincerely, Patrizia Materassi Planning Director PM ma Attachments Comments Figure 6 cc Thomas Schwab, Grand Terrace City Manager Joe Kicak, Grand Terrace City Engineer Herbert Fischer, Colton Unified School District Superintendent Jack Reagan, RCTC Executive Director Gary Moon, SANBAG, Director of Program Management Ty Schuilling, SANBAG, Director of Comprehensive Planning Michael Spiegel, PBQ&D Inc, Project Engineer Attachment A 22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92324-5295 • (714) 824-6621 1 School Site Staff reviewed set of plans with retaining and sound walls, mailed to us by the project engineer Plans indicate that no sound wall is to be installed adjacent to the Grand Terrace Elementary School site We understand that these plans are very prehmmary, however,we are very concerned Noise levels in that area are extremely high, i e, approximately two years ago, noise levels were measured on property at similar location on Newport Avenue, adjacent to the freeway to the North The project requires a 20' block wall to mitigate freeway noise levels to 65 dba on site Thus, the school site is already suffering tremendous freeway impact, and proposed freeway capacity increase will further worsen the situation Also, being near Stater Bros warehouse, many large trucks enter the freeway at that point, making the location somewhat unique and possibly adding new type pollutants to the area In order to mitigate school noise and freeway pollution in a proper manner, I request that local noise counts and types of pollutants be taken from the site and that required sound attenuation wall be placed adjacent to the freeway. A second issue related to the school, acknowledged on the draft PSR, is that currently, the school is already operating below State standards, in case any right-of- way purchase is needed, the site may become inoperable, thus, requiring relocation The City of Grand Terrace is close to build out Any relocation efforts should happen as soon as possible, regardless of implementation time, for that at a later date, this effort will be null and the City will lose the elementary school. 2. Improvements at Main Street, Iowa and I-215 Proposed improvements at Maui Street and Iowa as shown in the Ultimate Alternative drawings may pose a serious impact on Grand Terrace Main Street is currently a local collector, however, it is the only viable alternative to relieve estimated traffic demand being generated east of Grand Terrace The growth of the Reche Canyon and surrounding areas will by 2,015 bring Mt Vernon and Barton Road to Level of Service F or worse (Please review Figure 6 distnbuted at NS Corridor Meeting by SANBAG) In case the NS Comdor improvements, i e Pigeon Pass occur, then it would further worsen situation described above by funnelling all that traffic, plus additional traffic, through the City of Grand Terrace The only options existing ac this time are Mt. Vernon and Barton Road, which will need to be enlarged to six lanes divided to carry approximately 50,000 cars per day It just happens that Barton Road is our only commercial comdor m the City The rest is residential The intersection of Mt. Vernon and Barton Road is the planned core of our downtown. In a small City of 13,000 people, housing rich/job poor, these two roads are fundamental for a tax base and City survival They shall not be enlarged Therefore, alternative solutions and routes must be sought, whereby the growing traffic demand will flow to the freeway without destroying Grand Terrace We request that: 1. Proposed realignment and widening of Iowa as shown on the Ultimate Alternative take into consideration realignment of Main Street to a 90% intersection; 2. A study of cumulative traffic demand on Main Street by 2,015 be done to evaluate the extent of improvements needed in view of impossibilities to widen Barton Road and Mt. Vernon; 3 Please send us copies of sheet 5 of 7 of the I-215/SR-60 Ultimate Alternative plans and sheet 7 of 10 of I-215/SR-60/SR-91, Measure A/I Alternative. Both these sheets supposedly include proposed improvements on La Cadena southbound ramp and Main Street intersection with Iowa; and 4 We request that these improvements be staged or phased as a result of the study, so that the Alternative Measure I/A would include a portion of it, at least the realignment of Main Street, one additional lane on Iowa and effective signalization regarding on and off ramps connected to this interchange. An alternative to Main Street and Iowa is an interchange with I-215 at Van Buren. It would be another way to relieve increasing demand from Reche Canyon area, furthermore, this interchange has been approved by Cal Trans in the past, even though it is within less than one mile from the Barton Road interchange Your consideration of these comments will be greatly appreciated Hope to hear from you soon NORTH ' SOUTH CORRIDOR _ w y k y C ALTERNATIVE 1 CIRCULATION SYSTEM � . wa ® i a a LI4 ,,,z o � z YEAR 2015 DAILY LEVEL OF SERVICEw h al w o £O DS BLVD "c, LEQN AVE s j..F �`T,p I CITRUS AVE ►... . —1�D oyqa oo �� y LEGEND 11111111 .114 o Los AB or C ki a.

Consideration should be given to an offramp at Iowa Interchange, or some `, other locations to provide for routing traffic generated in Riverside County that is projected to impact the I-215 - Barton/Michigan area.

In addition, the on-going North - South Comdor Study being conducted by SANBAG and RCTC has shown that artenals in Grand Terrace will be significantly impacted by the future growth of regional traffic It is in the interest of our City to maximize freeway access in order to disperse regional traffic in the maximum extent feasible The current available I-215 Freeway access capacity with the existing design configuration at Center Street, Iowa Avenue, and Barton Road is minimum necessary to meet current travel demand, and will be inadequate for future conditions (The intersections of I-215 at Barton and Barton at Mt Vernon are already at LOS E at p m peak hour) Please refer to City Engineer's comments for specifics (Attachment B) Attachment D 22795 Barton Road• Grand Terrace,California 92324-5295 • (909) 824-6621 It is our view that the proposed I-215 improvements will reduce freeway access and thereby force additional regional traffic on our local artenals The City of Grand Terrace would be opposed to a I-215 improvement plan that may worsen current situation and fails to satisfactonly address our future freeway access needs To respond to our concerns, we recommend the following 1) The preferred alternative should be modified to provide sufficient freeway access capacity One proposed modification which has potential to improve current situation and address some of the future travel demand is shown on the attached exhibit which depicts an improvement plan for the Iowa interchange approved by Caltrans in 1983 Please refer to Attachment C Please also refer to City Engineering comments for details (Attachment B) 2) Additional studies should be performed as part of the PSR to analyze ultimate freeway access travel demand in light of the findings from RCTC's and SANBAG's North - South Corridor Study It may be extremely beneficial for this project to coordinate the I-215 PSR with the North South Corridor Study Consideration should also be given to travel demand that will be generated by upcoming Metrolmk Rail Station at Center Street For your information, the City of Grand Terrace will be requesting SANBAG to assist in conducting a focused study based on the findings of North - South Comdor to address the impacts of regionally generated traffic and the proposed improvements of Pigeon Pass and Reche Canyon Road The study should analyze daily and peak hour travel demand in the year 2015 on the arterials of Barton Road, Mt Vernon Avenue, Michigan Street, Center Street and Main Street It should address constraints to the implementation of new circulation improvements on these artenals such as lack of available r-o-w, impacts to adjacent, residential and commercial land uses, and historic structures fronting Center Street The study should develop a circulation improvement plan that would minimize land use impacts and community disruptions while also, accommodating future travel demand We will be requesting SANBAG to take the lead in this study because the impacts to be addressed are caused by regionally generated traffic However, RCTC, the County of San Bernardino, the County of Riverside, Caltrans, and the City of Loma Linda will be asked to be actively involved. 3) Staging for construction of the project from SR-60 to I-10 should be considered a high priority and should be scheduled for completion as early as possible 4) We request that these comments be incorporated in the public record concerning this project to document that we have concerns that have not yet been satisfactorily addressed We appreciate this opportunity to respond to this detailed project and look forward to further communication and meetings with you to address issues of concern Sincerely, Patrizia Materassi, Planning Director r ' Thomas Schwab, City Manager Attachment A -

South Comdor Study The I-215 Project Study Report proposes to make modifications to Center Street, Iowa Avenue and Barton Road interchanges that we believe may reduce their effective operating capacity The current design of these interchanges provide the minimum capacity necessary to accommodate existing demand. (Levels of Service at major Barton Road intersections are already significantly below General Plan standards ) Significant additional capacity will be needed to accommodate future demand Furthermore, we believe the staging plan for construction of the I-215 improvements should be modified to show early implementation of the improvements between SR-60 and I-215 We request SANBAG's assistance to insure that our comments on the draft Project Study Report are addressed by t�—; I-215 Project Development Team and incorporated into the final report (Please refer to draft final PSR comments - Attachment A.) The initial findings of the North - South Corridor Study indicate that the City of Grand Terrace will be extensively impacted by future, regionally generated traffic as well as proposed improvements on Reche Canyon Road and Pigeon Pass Road We request that SANBAG take the lead in initiating a focused study based on the findings of the North- South Comdor Study The focused study should analyze daily and peak hour travel demand in the year 2015 on the artenals of Barton Road, Mt. Vernon Avenue, Michigan Street, Center Street and Main Street. It should address constraints to the implementing of new circulation improvements on these improvements such as lack of available r-o-w and impacts to adjacent residential, and commercial landuses Attachment E 22795 Barton Road• Grand Terrace California 92324-5295 •(909) 824-6621 The study should develop a circulation improvement plan that would minimize land use impacts and community disruption, while also accommodating future travel demand Unfortunately, the location of the City of Grand Terrace places it at the center of a criss- cross of all major corridors connecting Freeway 60 to Freeway 10 and to Freeway I-215 The City of Grand Terrace desires to maximize freeway access to minimize the impacts and disperse regionally generated traffic The issues to be addressed by this study are interjunsdictional, therefore, we request SANBAG to seek the participation of RCTC, the County of San Bernardino, County of Riverside, Caltrans, the City of Loma Linda, as well as the participation of the City of Grand Terrace SANBAG's assistance to local governments to resolve interjunsdictional and subregional problems will be greatly appreciated Our concerns identified above are of regional significance, and the City of Grand Terrace is unable to address them without SANBAG's assistance Your positive response would re- enforce SANBAG's reputation for pro-actively providing leadership to address transportation and circulation issues in a regional context Your cooperation and interest is greatly appreciated If I can be of any further assistance in promoting this important

distributed and are attached 2 Overview of Protect Status Don highlighted the Project using the Project Map Exhibit The Project Limits cover a length of approximately 15-miles (For discussion purposes, the Southern Section is defined as that segment from the SR-60/I-215 Interchange to SR-60/91/I-215 Interchange, the SR-60/91/I-215 Interchange Section extends from Cridge Street on SR-91 northerly to Columbia Avenue on 1-215, and on SR-60 from the Santa Ana River to the SR-60/91/I-215 Interchange, the Northern Section is on 1-215 from Columbia Avenue northerly to Orange Show Road in San Bernardino As background, the initial Project Limits were extended to provide for adequate transitions for the ultimate corridor design The Project Limits were revised to Post Mile (PM) 10 5 on SR-60 (west of 1-215), PM 18 9 on SR-91, and PM 13 3 on SR-60 in Moreno Valley The northern Project Limits were not changed ) 3 Project Milestones and Schedule A Master Schedule for the Project was distributed to the PDT Group Don noted that the preliminary engineering and Public Scoping process have been in progress since the beginning of the Project, November 1990 The environmental studies began in October of 1991 The preliminary engineering was completed in December 1992 However, this task is extended to August of 1993 in support of the EIS/EIR work The draft Final PSR was distributed for agency review 12/24/92 The draft environmental studies are slated to oe completed in February 1993 Circulation of the draft EIS/EIR is forecasted for October 1993 and Federal Project Approval is anticipated in October of 1994 Don noted that the more detailed Primavera Schedule is available for PDT Members upon request 4 Alternatives Now Beina Considered Don summarized that the three current alternatives are • No Build, • TSM, and • Standard HOV (with Truck Lanes in the Southern Section ) Don noted that the Standard HOV Alternative is the "build alternative" On July 16, 1992, a management decision was made to remove the Ultimate Comdor Design as a current alternative and upgrade the Measure NI (Reduced Standard HOV) Alternative to the Standard HOV Alternative so that it meets Caltrans'/FHWA's design standards The previous Intermediate Capacity Alternative, which had not yet been defined, was also removed at the same time RCTC/I-215 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MINUTES OF PDT MEETING #6 Page 2 The Ultimate Design has been retained for purposes of defining a right-of-way protection footprint for local agencies' zoning and planning requirements For example, it would not be recommended that a new 12-story building be built within the corridor Additionally, no foreseeable funding exists for the Ultimate Design The Ultimate Design was originally developed in accordance to the Route Concept Report (now called Transportation Concept Report) for 1-215 On October 6, 1992, another management decision was made to add a truck lane in each direction to the Southern Section Also, the Measure NI Design would be constructed as an initial stage along SR-60 from Valley View to University Avenue It was asked if the TSM Alternative has noise walls Nabil and Bill explained that this alternative includes minor modifications/widenings to ramps for meters but no right-of- way or noise walls are anticipated This alternative is also a subset or (included in) the Standard HOV Alternative Brad reviewed the 200-Scale Colored-Plans for the Standard HOV Alternative The plans were displayed around the room and he highlighted key areas throughout the Project Brad summarized that to meet design standards, overcrossings must be replaced and this increases the cost of the Project, substantially Additionally, outside widening and R/W is required Profiles, Advanced Planning Studies, Fact Sheets and Cost Estimates (see PSR), were also completed for this alternative A direct HOV connector is included through the SR-60/I-215 Interchange to/from the planned SR-60 HOV lanes (east of this Interchange) He noted that a new Pennsylvania Interchange is included in the plans which provides improved access to UCR It was asked if the truck lane is shown in these plans Brad noted that the truck lanes are added to the Southern Section as an safety/operational improvement accommodating the 6% profile grades in the Southern Section The SR-60/91/I-215 Interchange includes the W-S and S-E connectors Some local streets are realigned to accommodate these improvements especially along the Northern Section The Washington Street Interchange is reconstructed on a straighter alignment, and hook ramps are lengthened to improve traffic storage on the NB exit ramp 5 Measure A/I as a Staged Improvement Don explained that Measure NI will be a phased step towards the construction of the Standard HOV Alternative in some sections This is because less right-of-way is required for its design and the environmental clearances are somewhat easier For example, rrom Valley View to University Avenue on SR-60, Caltrans is slated to build the NI design (one reduced- standard HOV lane) This construction is anticipated to occur in 1994-95 6 Environmental Status Tier I Process for Ultimate Corridor Jeff distributed an Environmental Tiering Handout (from last Public Meeting) to the PDT Group and highlighted the environmental activities He explained that the Ultimate Corridor Design (generally 12 lanes in the Southern Section and 10 lanes in the Northern Section) was in accordance with the Transportation Concept Report It also includes eight direct connectors at the SR- 60/91/1-215 Interchange Because no foreseeable funding is available for the Ultimate Design, it was removed as a current alternative (see Item #4 discussion, above) The Tiering Process (as explained in the handout) allows for corridor protection Consequently, a Tier I analysis for Ultimate Corridor Protection is now being pursued for this previous alternative This will allow local agencies to protect right-of-way within the corridor t R C _ , RCTC/I-215 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MINUTES OF PDT MEETING #6 Page 3 Jeff explained that the Tier I process has normally been used for rural freeway corridor protection so that its application for this urban freeway is unique The Tier I process identifies major issues and presents a more qualitative level of analyses for the studies listed in the Handout Discussions are on-going as to how the Tier I analyses will be incorporated into the EIS/EIR document Martha Tarlton (Riverside County Transportation) asked how this process affects local jurisdictions It is at this time that Jeff and Don explained the right-of-way protection information noted in Item #4, above In summary, the Tier I process will provide a mechanism for local agencies to protect right-of-way along the corridor through zoning and planning applications Jeff noted that NEPA encourages that the long and short- term analyses/purposes of a Project be considered Status of Environmental Studies Jeff reviewed the relevant order of magnitude effects of the Standard HOV Alternative versus the Ultimate Corridor For example, approximately 170 dwelling units and 84 businesses could be displaced due to the Standard HOV Alternative In contrast, approximately 430 dwelling units and 175 businesses might be displaced for the Ultimate Corridor Design Similarly, approximately 15-22 versus 70-75 historic buildings (Section 4(f)) are forecasted to be impacted by the Standard HOV versus Ultimate Corridor Design, respectively East of UCR and north of the I-215(SR-60) freeway, a portion of the open space is comprised of wetlands This area is between Central Avenue and Box Spnngs Road The Ultimate Corridor is estimated to require over 3-5 Acres (depending on the concentric or non-concentnc widening where non-concentnc is higher) In contrast, the Standard HOV Alternative should only require approximately 1 Acre Similarly, the _ Riversidian Sage Scrub Areas would be approximately 3 5 versus 20 Acres for the Standard HOV Alternative versus Ultimate Corridor, respectively Additionally, the potential Hazardous Waste Sites are more than 3 times higher for the Ultimate Corridor versus the Standard HOV Alternative The Preliminary Site Investigations are expected to be initiated shortly, first, rights of entry to each necessary parcel must be obtained The noise advisory committee was formed after noise concerns were raised at the December 1991 Public Meeting Many existing areas are currently experiencing more than 67 db, the Federal Critena for mitigation Qualifying sites would be mitigated for the Standard HOV Alternative The average noise wall heights range from 12-16' Caltrans' SR-60 (Valley Way to University Avenue) noise studies will be included in PB's environmental studies Aesthetics of noise walls are also a large issue for communities bordering the Project PB is awaiting direction on preferred wall treatments from Caltrans/local agencies Computer Modelling/Imaging Jeff and Bill narrated the computer modelling video to the PDT Group (The video was prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff) Four main views were shown • 4th Street aerial view looking northerly on SR-91 (Existing, Std HOV, and Ult Corridor), • 4th Street from the ground level looking easterly (Existing, Std HOV, and Ult Comdor), _ • 14th Street aerial view looking northerly (Existing, Std HOV, and Ult Corridor), and RCTC/I-215 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MINUTES OF PDT MEETING #6 Page 4 • The Pennsylvania Interchange aerial view looking easterly on I-215(SR-60) (Existing, and Standard HOV with new Interchange) Jeff noted that the simulations were also shown to attendees of the Cultural Heritage Board Meeting late last year Jeff Lewis (FHWA) asked if any noise walls exist on the Project, today Jeff Bingham answered that there are none today, and that the walls will be provided where they are warranted Martha Tarlton (Riverside County Transportation) suggested another location for video imaging in Highgrove near Center Street since impacts to businesses might be expected in this area Bill explained that at approximately$3,000 00 each location, no other locations are expected to be modelled at this time These locations were picked as issues arose He emphasized that it would not be cost-effective to video-image the entire Project Martha also asked if representatives from San Bernardino County were invited to the PDT meeting Don explained that they were However, since their portion of the Project is not forecasted to be constructed prior to the year 2000, few meetings have been attended by representatives from SANBAG (Note the County of San Bernardino was represented at this meeting) Minutes of Meetings and Invitations to meetings continue to be sent to those agencies not actively involved Nabil also explained that Anne Mayer is his Project Management counterpart for San Bernardino County Section 4(fl Avoidance Alternative As required by Section 4(f) for historic buildings, freeway alignment avoidance scenarios must be considered as an option to the alignment which impacts the historic area Near Mulberry Street, the avoidance scenario takes the future Marketplace Development and the parking lot of the Spaghetti Factory Restaurant Additionally, the SCE Facility is taken for an estimated$20 Million (Significant Hazardous Waste mitigation is also expected for this Scenario for the SCE Site) A few other historic buildings are also impacted, such as the Union Pacific Station This avoidance scenario will be mentioned in the PSR but fully addressed/documented in the EIS/EIR It is likely that it will be found that it is more prudent (economically, environmentally, and impact-wise) to use retaining walls to minimize impacts to historic neighborhoods or relocate the impacted historic homes Next Public Meeting (Draft Agenda) Jeff distributed (for comments) a draft agenda for the next Public Meeting scheduled for March 25, 1993 (from 4 00 to 10 00 p m ) at UCR It was agreed that"Funding Status" should be added to the agenda It was also agreed that the Project Alternatives (Item #4) should all\be listed to avoid confusion 7 PSR Review Comments and Discussions Monica (PBQ&D) summarized the status of the PSR deliverable Just before the Holidays (12/24/92), the draft Final Project Study Report (PSR) was distributed to several agencies for review Monica noted that approximately 65 copies were sent and that it is likely that someone at each PDT agency represented should have a copy (She suggested contacting her if confirmation on where the document was sent is needed) Should an agency want their input incorporated into the PSR document, comments are due back on or before Monday, February 8, 1993 Monica noted that there is a quick two-week turn-around for the Final PSR Nabil requested that any internal Caltrans comments should be received by Friday, January 29, 1993 (Nabil (Caltrans-08) anticipates that Caltrans' March 1993 Approval should be obtainable as long as he receives the final PSR from PB by the end of February 1993 ) Monica noted that the PSR was developed according to Caltrans' latest PSR Guidelines (1991) In summary, the document includes • Background on the Project, • The 3 Alternatives described earlier, RCTC/I-215 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MINUTES OF PDT MEETING #6 Page 5 • Existing versus future traffic analyses (Build versus No-Build), • Environmental Information/Potential Issues, • Identified Funding/Scheduling Known Today, • Cost Estimates, and • 200-Scale Plans (Std HOV Alternative) These are the main areas of the document Other information is also included Monica noted that the Standard HOV Alternative is under-funded at this time The estimated total cost of the Standard HOV Alternative is$528 0 Million ($359 4 Million for Construction and $168 6 Million for R/W) It was explained that the Measure NI phase will initially be built on SR-60 from Valley Way to University Avenue as a Caltrans Project (STIP Funding), and the Northern Section (north of the SR-60/91/I-215 Interchange) is not forecasted until after the year 2000 Consequently, the likely"Build" project is the Standard HOV Alternative with Truck lanes in the Southern Section Phasing of this Section is discussed in more detail in the PSR Appendices Tony Leuke (Caltrans-08) asked if the Standard HOV Alternative is in the RTIP It was explained that portions of the Project like the two (first stage) interchange connectors for the SR-60/91/I-215 - Interchange and HOV lanes on I-215(SR-60) between the "East" (SR-60/I-215) and 'West" (SR-60/91/I-215) Interchange Junctions are programmed in both the STIP and RTIP Specific Funding has not yet been confirmed for other portions of the "Build" Project, although RCTC plans to contribute a portion of their Measure A Funds Jeff Lewis requested that the TASAS Accident Data also highlight accident"hot spots" throughout the Project in relation to reduced standards as applicable 8 Other Peter Liu (Moreno Valley) asked what the RIVSAN Traffic Model assumed for HOV lanes Don explained that a 2 plus occupancy was assumed for the modelling It was also noted that FHWA's review schedule is the same as Caltrans' These review periods are shown in the Primavera Schedule 9

A staff report and corresponding CMP resolution is being submitted to the City Council at the next meeting 2 Traffic Control Measure (TCM) Ordinance To comply with the CMP and to satisfy State Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) requirements, each city shall pass a TCM/TDM Ordinance by June 30, 1993 and implement measures contained in it by December 30, 1993 TCM Measures are mostly employer based, such as: Alternative work week and flextime Telecommunications Employer ndeshare and transit incentives COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM# 8 6 22795 Barton Road• Grand Terrace, California 92324-5295 •(909) 824-6621 Some TCMs can be approved by resolution, others are specifically required to be incorporated into the City's General Plan through an Air Quality Element, i e Parking management,which includes policies to manage parking supply and to support transit, carpooling and van-pooling programs Auto-use restrictions that call for street closures of congested streets during peak hours Truck rescheduling and rerouting Currently, SANBAG and SCAQMD are assisting cities to develop their own"menu" of TCMs, which would include all mandatory TCMs plus optional ones. Together, the chosen TCMs,when implemented, should reduce vehicle trips in Grand Terrace on a yearly basis by 322 trips per day until 1994 - this represents less than 1% of subregional target, nonetheless, very important for us This performance target may be imposed directly on Grand Terrace or may be combined to all other cities in the County and the total figure becomes the responsibility of SANBAG as subregional agency This has not been determined yet It would be the City's interest not to be directly responsible for this performance standard target but otherwise As it was mentioned before, most TCMs are employer-based, and we do not have many employers or many development projects, nor trucks to reroute Therefore, much of our efforts on trip reductions will need to focus on 'long term effect" or "indirect effect"-type TCMs which are not too efficient in reducing trips Education plays a large role in this context as Councilman Gene Carlstrom mentioned at the last meeting 3 AB2766 Contract City staff has applied and received an award in the total of$69,000 from SCAQMD (AB2766 Funds) and is in the process of drafting a contract in order to implement some of these measures and receive the funds When funded, it will pay for (a) a quarterly air quality education publication, and (b) the feasibility study for a small business incubator, a telecommuting center and • park and ride for Grand Terrace All these measures intend to promote economic development, job retention and creation while reducing emissions, ultimately, reducing vehicle trips. More information will be provided on this contract upon request Once a contract (for AB2766 funds) is developed, staff will submit it to the City Council for review and approval This should take place prior to April 6, 1993 Meanwhile, staff will also submit to the City Council the City's portion of the Regional Air Quality Element approved by San Bernardino County on August 12, 1991. 4 Air Quality Element The County staff and 15 cities together have developed a Regional Air Quality Element with the help of a consultant, The Planing Center The element includes required TCMs and other policies for the region to reach its goal and ultimately meet the State and Federal Clean Air Act. Grand Terrace was indirectly a part of this process. The Regional Element has now been adopted by the County and each city involved in doing the same. Staff is currently reviewing the Model Air Quality Element, which is recommended to be approved by all participating cities and will submit it to you within the next six months The Air Quality Element sets the goals and parameters of action. The TDM Ordinance is basically an implementation of the Air Quality Element. The TDM Ordinance has a mandatory adoption date while the Air Quality Element does not CMP AND AIR QUALITY ELEMENT: The Congestion Management Plan and Air Quality Element have common goals, however their main purpose is different For example, in case 100% of cars currently on the freeway were replaced by electric cars, which produce no emissions, the SCAQMD would have met its goal. On the other hand, the CMP goals would not have been met The CMP's main goal is to move traffic, to connect economic and employment centers Traffic congestion of electric cars makes no difference in terms of moving traffic Both agencies' programs shall be in conformity with the State and Federal Clean Air Act, recently amended in 1990 Therefore, many of the CMP measures are to move traffic in the most efficient way to reduce emissions and trips. Thus, HOV (high occupancy vehicle levels), transit, rail and other modes of transportation are on focus at this time In counties like Los Angeles, where there is no more room for freeway expansion, alternative modes of transportation are fundamental In the counties of the Inland Empire, the issue becomes more political due to the fact that road enlargement and improvements are still seen as the most economic way to move traffic That is one of the main reasons why our CMP is different from other counties We have a project-by-project review-based program, while others have a fee-based program. It appears that the County Board of Supervisors and SANBAG still prefer to see some expansion of current system than a - complete shift to other modes of transportation. The cost will probably be paid by all parties involved developers, cities, counties and subregional agencies Hopefully, SANBAG, AQMD and SCAG can establish yearly conformity with State and Federal requirements to allow continuance of State subvention for these infrastructure improvements. The City's role in helping subregional and regional agencies to reach conformity is fundamental. Otherwise, the State may decide to develop another layer of governance to do the job. The conclusion is - the more cities learn to do regional analysis and cooperate with other jurisdictions and with existing subregional agencies, the more we will keep our local decision-making power Land use is now directly related to air quality and transportation. This is the basis within which staff is recommending City Council approval on all these upcoming programs CMP, TCM/TDM Ordmance, AB2766 Contract and Air Quahty Element. These programs are formulated by subregional and regional agencies with the help of consultants and staff from cities affected to meet State and Federal mandates a\wp51\planning\misc\regtransp mem ,Ap );� Planning C RAND TERR•C s Department Nitta , ~ALE M [A♦UFO DATE: February 11, 1993 • TO: City Council FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TO THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE TASK FORCE *************************************** Staff requests the City Council to appoint one of its members to the General Plan Update Task Force For your information, staff has started the selection process for the 14 applications submitted We already have sufficient applications from all interest groups and will bring the list to the City Council with staff recommendations at the next meeting The Planning Commission nominated Commissioner Doug Wilson to be on the Task Force COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM# 22795 Barton Road• Grand Terrace, California 92324-5295 • (909) 824-6621 STEP RMPORT C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X) MEETING DATE: Feb. 11, 1993 AGENDA ITEM NO. SUBJECT: MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENTS FUNDING REQUIRED XX NO FUNDING REQUIRED The City Staff conducts an annual mid-year budget review to make any necessary adjustments that occurred as a result of unanticipated changes. Identified revenue and expense adjustments along with Justification are as follows: Adjustments to Revenue Estimates 10-100-01 Property Taxes - General Fund -$ 53,241 The State's 1992/93 Budget Act reduced cities property tax revenue by nine percent. The San Bernardino County Auditor/Controller has calculated our City's decrease to be $53,241. 10-600-02 Interest from CRA Loan -$ 45, 000 The City receives interest from a loan to the CRA. The interest rate is adjusted based on the 11th District Cost of Funds Index. This index has decreased 2% since January 1992. 10-700-07 Forfeited Refundable Deposits $ 10,235 The City has held numerous deposits for up to fourteen years. The Finance Director along with the City Engineer have attempted to contact all depositors who are entitled to a refund; however sixteen could not be located. Thus deposits of $10,235 should be recognized as revenue to the City. 12-700-01 FEMA Storm Damage Reimbursement $ 13,215 The City recently received FEMA monies for storm drain damage incurred February 1992. COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM#gib 16-400-10 Measure "I" - Gas Tax Fund -$ 90,000 16-400-11 Measure "I" Interest Earnings - Gas Tax -1,000 20-300-01 Measure "I" - Measure "I" Fund 90, 000 20-600-01 Measure "I" -Interest Earnings 1,000 In the past, Measure "I" revenue was tracked by a separate account in the Gas Tax Fund. Upon the recommendation of SANBAG, a separate Measure "I" Fund is to be established for the accounting of Measure "I" revenue and expenses. 27-470-08 Summer Youth Employment Program $ 12,000 As the Council is aware, Summer Youth Program costs are fully reimbursed by a grant from the County Career Training and Development Department. In September 1992 the County amended our contract increasing funding $12, 000. Adjustments to Expenditures 10-120-140 City Manager - Retirement -$ 2, 100 10-125-140 City Clerk - Retirement -2, 000 ' 10-140-140 Finance - Retirement -2,000 10-180-140 Community Services - Retirement -2,700 10-370-140 Planning - Retirement -1,800 10-430-140 Recreation - Retirement -1,000 10-440-140 Child Care - Retirement -8,400 Assembly Bill 702 (part of the 1991/92 State Budget) eliminated a portion of the reserves held by the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) . This change allowed over one billion dollars to be allocated to all PERS employers. Our City's credit amounted to $20, 000. The above allocation reflects the benefit by department. 10-160-250 City Attoney - General Fund -$ 10,000 As previously discussed in the CRA adjustments, attorney fees were budgeted 100% in the City's General Fund. This is inappropriate, because these fees also benefit the CRA. Approximately $10, 000 of attorney fees are expected to benefit the CRA. 10-190-700 Copy Machine $ 10,000 The upstairs copy machine at City Hall is over five years old and is in poor condition. Staff has been informed by the vendor our maintenance contract will not be renewed. Future service calls will be on a hourly basis as needed plus parts with a minimum $107 callout charge. Staff has researched suitable copy machines and found them to cost $10,000. The old machine has little or no trade-in value. 10-190-222 Chamber of Commerce - Newsletter $ 6,666 Last June no money was budgeted for Chamber Newsletters, because of uncertainties surrounding the Chamber of Commerce. However, Newsletters began last November and are expected to be prepared monthly thru June 1993. 10-190-250 GT Public Finance Authority Trustee Fees $ 3,844 Reflects the annual trustee fees associated with the new bond issuance. Since this is the first year for these fees; they were inadvertently omitted during preparation of the 1992/93 Budget. 10-410-256 Sheriff's Contract $ 4,000 10-410-257 Community Services Officer $ 2,340 The 1992/93 Budget was adopted based on estimated costs; the actual contract charges are slightly higher. 10-410-259 County Jail Booking Fees -$ 17, 000 At present a Sacramento Superior Court Judge has ruled that contract cities are exempt from paying county jail booking fees. The case is being appealed, however payment does not seem likely. 10-430-110 Salaries - Recreation -$ 10,000 10-430-139 Deferred Compensation - Recreation -1,800 10-430-142 Health and Life Insurance - Recreation -1, 100 Reflects savings from not replacing a Senior Recreation Leader who left in October. The City has seen a minimal service level' decrease from this decision. 10-805-703 Senior Center Improvements-Community Block Grant $35,000 Represents a Federal Grant under HUD awarded for improvements at our Senior Center. Staff inadvertently omitted this item during the preparation of the FY 1992/93 City Budget. 12-903-255 Storm Drain Construction $ 6,076 A joint project with Riverside Highland Water Company was completed in December 1992 in the Linda Vista Well area west of Grand Terrace Road. Construction included running drain pipe north along the east side of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks and grading the adjacent area. This project reduced flooding on Grand Terrace Citizens property west of the railroad tracks. 12-903-700 Storm Damage Repair - Grand Terrace Road $ 13,904 Reflects emergency costs to repair Grand Terrace road, after flooding in January 1993. Costs included hauling in 420 tons of rock and fill to rebuild the slope, and cleaning debris out of the Riverside Canal. 12-903-701 NPDES Agreement - County Flood Control $ 5,500 At the April 8, 1992 Council Meeting, Council approved the San Bernardino County and Cities for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems agreement. This agreement provides for control of pollutant discharge into the Santa Ana River required by the Federal Clean Water Act. The FY 1992/93 costs are $5,500. 16-900-255 Contractual Services - Gas Tax Fund -$ 60, 000 20-100-255 Contractual Services - Measure "I" Fund 60, 000 To reflect transfer of Measure "I" expenditures from Gas Tax Fund to a separate Measure "I" Fund as recommended by SANBAG. 27-470-110 Summer Youth Employment Training Program $ 12, 000 As the Council is aware, Summer Youth Program costs are fully reimbursed by a grant from the County Career Training and Development Department. The County amended our contract in September 1992 which increased program funding $12, 000.
