STAFF REPORT
CRA ITEM (xx) COUNCIL ITEM ( ) MEETING DATE: Oct. 14, 1993
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION FOR BARTON ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
At the Council Meeting of September 23, 1993, the City Council
awarded the Barton Road Improvement Project to Keeney and Son
Construction. The project was to be funded by $100,000 from the
Redevelopment Agency Projects Fund with the balance coming from the
City Street Fund.
Since this item was heard as a City Council item, it is now
necessary that this be agendized as a Redevelopment Agency item in
order to make the appropriation..
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT:
LJ, COUNCIL AUTHORIZE $100,000 FROM THE' REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'PROJECTS
FUND TO PARTIALLY FUND THE' BARTON ROAD IMPROVEMENT" PROJECT..

Council Minutes - 09/23/93
Page 4
Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, remarked that the block
walls on Mt. Vernon and Main are the same color.
Mayor Matteson, inquired whether any of the
graffiti removal was done on private property.
Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, replied that the
current Chamber-sponsored painting project involves
graffiti eradication on the public right-of-way. „,
City Manager Schwab, indicated that the City can
remove graffiti on private property but revealed
that the City needs prior approval from the
property owner before proceeding to abate any
graffiti.
Mayor Matteson, questioned whether there are any
variations in the paint color the City is using to
cover the graffiti.
City Manager Schwab, commented that the City
utilizes a standard color which the City obtains
from San Bernardino County, remarking that the
color varies from grey to a pale white. He
indicated that the City will use paint supplied by
the property owner.
Mayor Matteson, expressed concern regarding
covering graffiti on a white wall at the complex on
Michigan.
Assistant City Manager Anstine, commented that the
City has already requested permission from the
property owner to enter that property and are
awaiting a response.
Mayor Pro Tem Christianson, extended thanks to
B.F.I. for donating paint for the "Paint Out." He
mentioned further that he attended a Chamber of
Commerce Mixer on Wednesday, September 15, 1993 at
Classic Fitness on Barton Road near Michigan. He
spoke on behalf of the owners of the business,
thanking Planning Director Materassi for her
assistance in gaining approval from the County on
some of the necessary permits needed to open the
business.
Mayor Matteson, remarked that he attended the
Mayors and City Managers Meeting, revealing that
the primary topic was the continuation of Sheriff's
q - r

protection or the formation of a JPA group of local
cities for law enforcement. He indicated that
Harry Mays, the County Administrator for law
enforcement, has threatened to eliminate law
enforcement protection for cities in the County.
He reported that the cities have elected to perform
a study to determine the probability of maintaining
their own law enforcement, commenting that the
cities discussed the possiblity of joining together
for law enforcement or forming a JPA composed of
eleven participating cities. He reported that the
cities have a consensus regarding the high quality
of service provided by the Sheriff's Department but
remarked that budget cuts have precipitated the
problem. He indicated that cities in the high
desert are completing their own $35, 000 study,
relating that if all the cities join, the cost of a
County-wide study would be $50, 000. He indicated
that information regarding the study will be
submitted to all participating Councils. He
stressed that the study will place the cities in a
position to respond should the County Administrator
cancel the law enforcement contracts, offering his
belief that the Sheriff's Department must provide
law protection to the entire County to some extent.
He indicated that the high desert cities will
provide a report regarding the cost per city (based
on per capita) of the proposed study, revealing
that he will keep the Council apprised of the
situation.
Councilmember Singley, asserted that the issue is
not the quality of service provided by the
Sheriff's Department but rather the negotiations
with the County Administrative offices. He
mentioned that a similar study was done in Orange
County which indicated that service provided by the
Sheriff's Department was drastically more
economical than. city law enforcement. He expressed
concern regarding the potential ramifications of
involvement in the study.
Mayor Matteson, clarified that the study that was
done in Orange County revealed that city law
enforcement was more expensive but stressed that
the formation of a JPA would spread the cost of law
enforcement among eleven cities. He surmised that
although the initial cost would be excessive, the
long-term cost would be more economical.
Council Minutes - 09/23/93
Page 6
Councilmember Singley, remarked that expending the
monies to fund the prosposed study would need
Council approval and suggested that the matter be
discussed more thoroughly when the issue is
agendized. He requested that a Resolution be
drafted to commend Debra Mueller for her years of
service to the City and praised Ms. Mueller's
conduct during the last election.. He announced
that he also attended the Chamber Mixer at Classic
Fitness and the Woman's Club Ice Cream Social that
followed the Mixer.
Councilmember Carlstrom, referenced a memo that was
circulated in Colton that the gang, the Bloods,
were having a membership drive.
Councilmember Sinctley, remarked that the Sheriff's
Department investigated that claim.
Cantain Denham, indicated that the rumor was found
to---be unsubstantiated. -- ---
_ Councilmember Carlstrom,. explained that the
supposed gang membership drive involves gang

RAND TERR t Community Services
;s Department
rtRtAr��
Grand Terrace City-Council
The Parks and Recreation Committee was recently asked to look into a letter
submitted to you by the Colton Terrace Little League dated September 18th, 1993
The Parks and Recreation Committee recommends the following
1 The original plans approved by the Parks and Recreation Committee and the
City Council with input from Soccer and Little League should not vary As you
know, the Pico Park is designed to accommodate all citizens of Grand Terrace
The approved plans consist of an adult large softball field (this field would have
no pitching mound nor grass infield), two Little League fields with no
permanent outfield fence (so that the Grand Terrace Soccer Club can use the
field during their season),Tot Lot, Basketball Courts, Snackbar and Restrooms
2 The Adult Softball Pico Park Field should remain Colton Terrace Little League
still has the use of the Terrace Hills Jr High Field which has lights, snackbar
and restrooms Historically, the Little League had used this field for its Junior,
Senior, and Big League Divisions. Little League can still use the Adult Softball
Field for its own softball and T-Ball Divisions when not in conflict with adult
softball. The Recreation Services Department desires to expand the Grand
Terrace Adult Softball League and this field is needed to meet the needs of the
Adult Softball teams
3 The request for a 10 foot warning track is impractical Again, there are no
permanent outfield fences, and if a warning track was cut into any of the grass
portions of the field, it would severely interfere with Soccer's ability to use the
field
4 Both Little League fields should have raised mounds The Adult Softball Field
will not have a mound Also, Colton Terrace Little League has used Colony
Park Field in San Bernardino, which also has no mound
5 Little League should have use of the Pico Park for their season ONLY
Generally, from the first of March until the end of July, sign ups and tryouts
could be scheduled on a day-to-day basis The reason for this is that the Grand
Terrace Soccer Club will still need to utilize the Pico Park from August to the
end of January Hours for use of Pico Park should be based on what was
guaranteed to the citizens who reside in and around the Park at the time the
hearings were conducted for the approval of the park
Let's not forget the reasons for Pico Park It was designed to meet the n s of all
citizens, adult and youth sports in this community

RECOMMENDATION: Approval
*****************************************.
DISCUSSION - _ - _ -
The conditions of approval of this project require evaluation of this permit every year upon
request by the applicant or triggered by a complaint. In this case the applicant requested
the CUP extension for two more years
In previous years, the City had received complaints and the conditions established were to
remedy and mitigate potential adverse impacts of this use-on its immediate surroundings.
There have been no complaints filed with the City during this last year of operation. Staff
onented Mr. Blake that in case he wants to file for relocation or expansion, he will need to
have a public hearing with the Planning Commission. Mr. Blake is filing only for rer'wai
of the existing permit, and he is requesting a two-year extension instead of one year.
(Please refer to Planning Department and applicants letter-Attachment A). Mr_Blake is
also-addressing the feasibility of possibly-selling his raceway business;.
NOISE ISSUE _ _ - - - —
Noise has nor been:an issue this past year The applicant has invested in measuring the
noise levels and maintaining the appropriate levels, thus, there have been no formal
complaints to-the City. — 5 -

Architectural Review of a main residence. as listed fir the City of Grand Terrace funicipal
Code Section 18.63.010
- _ 'To ensure, that the locationand2 configuration:..of_structures?are visually
harmomous with their sites and surrounding.sites-and structures;that they do
not interfere with neighbors' privacy; that they do not unnecessarily block
_ scene views_front other structure&anddor public areas,_and-be iir scale-with
the townscape and natural_laad"scap&ofthe area;.
To ensure that the architectural design of structures and their matenals and
colors are visually harmonious with surrounding development, natural
landforms, is functional for the proposed project and is consistent with this
title,
To ensure the preservation of the natural beauty of the city and its setting, to
prevent the mdiscnminate clearing of property, the destruction of trees and
natural vegetation and the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, and to
preserve the natural landforms "
Specific Review Criteria;
1 Location of playhouse shall minimally meet accessory structure setbacks (10' rear and
5' side setbacks from toe or top of slope) and shall not be located on utility
easements or public nght-of-way It is recommended that playhouses be located as
not to be visible from neighbors' yards. whenever possible
2 The following cntena apply to all playhouses. but especially to playhouses which are
visible from neighbors' yards
a. Playhouse windows shall not face neighbors' yards but towards the main
residence so as not to interfere with neighbors' pnvacy.
b Ceiling height on elevated playhouses shall not be suitable for adults
(maximum of five and one-half feet). An elevated playhouse which functions
as an observation tower or elevated deck shall follow a different set of review
criteria and may be subject to a public hearing Playhouses for infants or
toddlers who need constant supervision are strongly encouraged to be ground
mounted Note that a playhouse shall not be elevated more than 6' from
grade. otherwise, the "under floor" will be considered a "story" and the
structure will no longer be considered a playhouse
Colors shall be compatible with the main residence and with neighbors'fences
in such a manner as to blend in as much as possible Brightly colored
playhouses visible from neighbors' yards are strongly discouraged Pastel
colors such as off-white, cream and light tan are encouraged This applies to
all construction elements, such as walls. pilasters. roof and trim
In case playhouses barely meet the accessory structure setback requirements,
a row of London Plane trees or other trees are encouraged to be planted
surrounding the structure to diminish visual impact of structure on adjacent
residences.
Construction materials shall not include glass. cardboard or sheet aluminum
roofing. No electrical or plumbing elements are allowed First quality
materials are recommended, since playhouses do not require permits and
aesthetics and safety of construction is critical
Playhouses shall be constructed so as not to obstruct scenic views of the
mountains or valley and shall be on scale with adjacent development on and
off-site. i e
11 Hilly areas-
,
In areas of small lots (7.200 sq ft or less). a 120 sq ft. elevated
playhouse (12' in height) at 5' from the property line may be perceived
as a "huge structure" if seen from a neighbor's yard. especially when in
a descendent topography It is recommended that special attention be
given to views when in areas with topographic gradients
Areas with existing accessory structures
In the case where other surrounding accessory structures are of 8 to 10'
in height. a playhouse with height exceeding 10' is strongly discouraged
Harmony with scale of surrounding development is to be achieved
Flat areas
In case proposed playhouse is the first accessory structure with overall
height above 6' in a specific area (3 to 4 adjacent properties). it is
strongly recommended that it be ground-mounted and located so as
not to be visible from neighbors' yards (roof can be visible)
Preservation of existing feeling of openness and space is desired
whenever possible Unless this structure blends in "perfectly" with its
surroundings. it is likely to create significant controversy
4 Playhouses on trees-
When playhouses are installed on a live tree without alterations
to the appearance of the tree.they are considered self-screened,
however, all other criteria will apply.
b When playhouses are installed on a dead or sigmficantly altered
or chopped tree with or without posts of support. they are
subject to the guidelines as any other playhouse
Note that in case these structures are larger than 120 sq. ft.. they are
considered illegal structures and shall be demolished. A building
permit is not applicable. Chopping or destroying trees to install tree
houses is strongly discouraged.
Trees have several natural functions. such as cooling the environment,
cleamng the air by producing oxygen. fertilizing and protecting soil
from erosion and many more Trees help to create the very same
scenic view which enhance property values. Observations provide
evidence that there is a very significant correlation between amount of
trees on pnvate and public spaces with high image cities and
neighborhoods While one tree may be interrupting a scemc view, all
the neighborhood trees. including_the one in question. together help
maintain and enhance the quality of life and property values in that
community.
Review Procedures Required:
1 Playhouses exceeding 6' in overall height are subject to playhouse review cntena and
require Community Development Director clearance(Land Use Approval application
- $33 00 fee) Playhouses are exempt from building permit.
2 Playhouses which are 6' or below in overall height are exempt from both permit and
planning review.
Note that small structures exceeding 120 sq ft, with second story. are not considered
playhouses and are subject to permit. When subject to a permit. such a structure will need
to meet habitable standards. mcluding. but not limited to. Title 24, energy conservation,
electrical. plumbmg, etc. This basically transforms the small structure mto a "recreation
room" of"accessory living quarters".
Process
In case your proposed playhouse meets all criteria, an over the counter approval will be
granted Otherwise, noticing to adjacent neighbors may be required to avoid complaints in
the future. At the end of two weeks. if no complaints are received, the application will be
approved subject to the Community Development Director's recommendation To expedite
the process. the applicant has the option to bnng support letters from the neighbors. In case
neighbors are concerned. a meeting will take place for exchange of information. Usually,
it resolves all questions and the protect can proceed. Ultimately. in case the applicant is not
accepting of the Community Development Director's approval recommendations. then
he/she can appeal to the Planning Commission per Section 18.63 070.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A REGIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT STUDY
The desert cities of Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley are
currently soliciting proposals to study the feasibility of
developing a Regional Law Enforcement Agency. The desert cities
are willing to expand the study to include all thirteen contract
cities. The impetus for this action stems from a frustration over
the booking fee issue, the haggling over the new wording in the
contracts and the general lack of effective communication between
the City Managers and the County Administrative Officer.
At the meetings I have attended, it is obvious that we are in
universal agreement that there is trust and support for the Sheriff
and the service his department provides to contract cities. Grand
Terrace, in particular, has an excellent relationship with the
Sheriff's Department, and receives responsive, responsible service,
which could not be exceeded by another service provider.
The issue of conducting a study is not the proper approach to more
effectively provide law enforcement services. We need to open the
lines of communication with county administration to develop a
business trust that does not universally exist.
To address the issue of a regional law enforcement study, I have
attached the Executive Summary of the study by the South Orange
County Cities of Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Lake
Forest, Mission Viejo, and San Juan Capistrano. The summary
indicates that the current law enforcement contract estimates for
the 1992-93 fiscal year for the south cities is over a half a
million dollars less than the least costly alternative of regional
police, and ten million dollars less than individual police
departments (the millions of dollars in initial start-up cost would
be in addition to the added operational costs) . The savings can be
attributed to economies of scale providing benefits to the County
of Orange, as well as the south cities. The cities did not form a
regional department, but, rather, remained with the Orange County
Sheriff. In fact, the trend is going in the direct opposite

direction with the City of San Clemente in 1992 disbanding its
police department and contracting with the Sheriff's Department,
saving considerable general fund dollars.
We currently utilize the most effective and efficient method to
provide law enforcement to our respective contract cities. A study
at a cost of thirty to fifty thousand dollars would only go to
validate that the cities are providing the best law enforcement for
the money and provide additional argument for the county that our
services are subsidized rather than the sharing- of overhead which
benefits the county as well as the cities.

Apple Valley, Hesperia, and Victorville are developing an
RFP for consultant services to study the costs, legal
issues, organizational structure and other considerations
necessary to develop a regional law enforcement agency with
which cities can contract for individual service levels,
other than the County Sheriff. The study will analyze
several alternative police services mechanisms including a
joint powers authority and private firms.
The three cities are willing to expand the study to include
your agency. Participating in this study will help your
agency determine, at relatively low cost, whether to
contract for police services using alternatives other than
the County Sheriff. The survey will cost approximately
$30-,000 — $50, 000, depending on the number of participants.
While the overall costs will increase slightly as more
agencies participants, the per agency costs for the study
will decrease significantly with the involvement of
additional cities.
Since there are different sized agencies within the County,
the three cities will reduce the cost of participation for
smaller agencies. All smaller agencies (cities with under
25, 000 inhabitants) will pay 1/3 less than larger agencies
(with over 25, 000 inhabitants) which participate in the
study_ A chart is attached which delineates each agencies'
share if all 13 contract cities opt to participate in the
survey.

The report which follows presents the results of our analysis of law
enforcement contracts and law enforcement service delivery alternatives for the
cities of Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo,
and San. Juan Capistrano This report, Volume I, summarizes major=study
findings.. Volume II, which has been submitted under separate cover, provrdes
detailed analyses for each individual city of the operations, capital and transition
costs involved in establishing a city police department.
The major objectives of the study were to:
• Evaluate the current contractingapproach
not it represents an equitablean vld w and charginganalyze whether or
contract law enforcement services. the cities for
• Evaluate the costs for and potential service level impact on each of the
cities related to alternative approaches for providing law enforcement
services_ This included:
Estimating operating, capital and transition costs associated
with establishing individual, in-house police departments for
each city.
Assessing comparable costs related to forming a regional
Police Department to serve the cities in lieu of contracting for
service with the Sheriffs Department.
Our findings and conclusions are summarized below.
i
s
T$F CURRENT CONTRACT COSTING APPROACH
Chapter I of the main body of the report, supported by Anpenaices B and C ti
contains a detailed analysis of the current contract structure and the detailed
composition of the costs charged to the four cities whicn contract for service
during fiscal year 1991-92 Our principal findings are as follow —
r
• The basic contract costing structure represents an equitable
approach for charging for taw enforcement contract services More --
specifically-
Although complex, the approach employed to charge direct —
and overhead costs for contract law enforcement positions
fairly allocates those costs logically associated with providing
those positions and the services they deliver to the coract —•
cities. With the exception of two issues noted below, costs
allocated in the formula: (1) reflect the actual cost of providing
services; and (2) do not unfairly or disproportionately charge
contract cities for indirect or overhead costs.
Individually and in total, all indirect and direct costs included —_
in the formula reflect those costs necessary to deliver law
enforcement services at the city level and represent the types of
costs the cities would incur if they operated their own Police —
Department J '
• The report includes a detailed analysis of what the contract dollar —
purchases in_ terms of direct services, Departmental overhead, and -'
general County overhead. Our analysis indicates that 87.7% of each
contract dollar goes for direct services — defined as the personnel and
vehicles assigned at the city level and directly involved in.field.patrol, —
traffic enforcement, crime investigation. and the management and
supervision of those activities at the city level. The remaining 12.3%
goes not only for Sheriffs Department and County overhead, but also,
and primarily, pays for such services as dispatch and records
processing-— services which are key to the support of field. law '
enforcement services and represent costs incurred in delivering law —�
enforcement services in any jurisdiction. Indeed, the current
structure allows the cities to maximize the portion of their law
enforcement dollar which goes to direct service delivery-compared.to
1111
other cities which have in-house police departments. Based on our
previous experience and several surveys conducted during the►course
of the project, the average police department serving a city compar- —
able to the contract cities allocates about 65%-70% of' each law
enforcement dollar to direct service, while 30%-35% is required for
indirect services and support This analysis does not indicate
Orange County is subsidizing the cities but instead demonstrates the
economies of scale which can be achieved through a multi-
jurisdictional, regional approach to delivering law enforcement
services It should also be notea that the approach also benefits
Orange County, allowing the County to recoup some of the costs of
providing support services to the Sheriffs Department s law
enforcement operations, costs whicn would be exnenenced even if the
contract services to the South Orange County Cities were not in place
As we analyzed the contract formula, we iaentified two issues which we
believe inaccurately portray actual cost of service delivery These issues are as
follows.
• The contract costing formula includes a factor which covers relief
time winch is the cost of providing coverage when Deputies assigned
to the "cities are unavailable for work due to sick leave or other
unanticipated absence. The formula currently charges relief time at
a regular pay rate rather than an overtime rate. We believe this
practice does not fully capture the real cost of covering unanticipated
absences which is probably a mix of straight time and overtime at
tune and one-half. This may result in undercharging by up to
$48,184 annually (assuming all sick leave and holiday coverage
requires overtime at time and one-half to provide coverage). In
reality, the cost of relief time is probably somewhere between straight
tune and relief time. To ensure equitable cost allocation, annual
determination of contract rates for 56-hour positions should include
consideration of that portion of relief time paid on an overtime basis
with subsequent adjustment of calculations.
• Conversely, charges for all sworn contract positions plus Community
Service Officers and Parking Enforcement personnel include a
charge for Workers' Compensation. coverage. The rate applied to
contract positions is one provided by the State of California Workers'
Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau; is 13.39% for the current
fiscal year which significantly exceeds Orange County's actual
Workers' Compensation cost of 4.21% for law enforcement personnel;
and is well above Workers' Compensation costs for other law
enforcement agencies surveyed during the project. Orange County
uses the State provided rate rather than actual experience because
the State rate includes a significant allowance for "assigned risk"
(about 50%of the 13.39%)intended to apply to short-term(one or two-
I
year) contracts and cover the risk that liability may be incurred
during the contract which will result in long-term payment, long
after the contract is terminated. We oelieve this practice
sigruncantly overcharges the contract cities -- the difference between
actual County experience and the 13 39% rate totals over S694,000 for
the four cities for fiscal year 1991-92 We recommend that Orange
County follow the same practice as other major California counties
and charge Workers Compensation costs based on actuarial
experience
( — If implemented, the two adjustments recommended above could reduce
total contract costs by about $646 000 for the current fiscal year for the four cities
currently contracting for service.
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVECE DELIVERY ALTERNATIVES
Chapters II and III analyze costs of establishing individua±police
departments for each city and the potential to establish a Regional Police
Department to serve the six cities in lieu of contracting for service with Orange
County. The analysis also addresses contract service costs for the two new cities.
The main body of the report and Volume It present detailed analysis of staffing-
requirements, potential organizational plans, pro-forma operating budgets,
capital start-up requirements, and transition costs associated with each.
alternative. Results are summarized in the exhibit which follows this page.
Principal findings are as follows:
• In each case, individual city police departments- would cost
significantly more to provide comparable service levels (e.g., patrol
coverage; traffic enforcement; special programs) than current
contract services. The exhibit shows annual operating cost estimates
for each city with cost ranges based on alternative approaches for
providing dispatch and communications services. Additionally, we
estimate that establishing an in-house police department would
require each city to make a one-time investment of from$L5 to $2.0
million. for capital purchases and transition costs. Volume It _r�
provides detailed estimated capital purchase and transition plans for
each city.

• A regional police department. probably operated as a Joint Powers
Agency oy the six cities would cost about S22.5 minion annually,
slightly less than the current contract costs (fiscal year 1991-92 costs
for the four contract cities plus Sheriffs Department estimates for
serving the newly incorporated cities reflected at FY 1992-93 cost
levels) We estimate that a regional department would also require a
one-time investment of about S7 million for capital purchase and
transition start-up requirements
From the cost perspective alone the Regional Police Department appears to
be a practical alternative if Orange County significantly modifies the current
contract costing approach, especially in regard to inairect cost allocation.
Our analysis indicates that the two newly incorporated cities could reduce
contract service costs below those initially estimated by the Sheriffs Department
by sharing command staff and implementing field patrol programs balanced with
workload (in the case of Lake Forest) or sharing field policing costs with the r `
County to serve both the city and the unincorporated periphery (in the case of
Laguna Hills). '
