CC-85-192 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL
AYES, to approve Check Register No. 061385 as presented.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES (5/9/85)
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, referencing the first paragraph on Page

the statement she requested "for the record" was not complete.
CIVIC CENTER JANITORIAL SERVICE CONTRACT (GTC85-14)
Councilwoman Pfennighausen,-with Mayor Pro Tem Matteson concurring,
felt the Contractor is not providing all the services specified,
referencing an Addendum to the Contract indicating an additional
charge of $59.00 per occurrence for cleaning the exterior windows,
questioned why the Staff Report stated there would be no additional
cost unless minimum wages are increased. Felt the additional cost
should be reflected in the records and that the windows will require
monthly cleaning. Community Services Director Anstine stated the
Contractor misinterpreted the original window washing specifications
and requested the renewed Contract be amended to include the
additional charge on an as -needed basis, as specified in the Addendum;
felt the proposed cost was reasonable.
CC-85-193 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson, to approve and authorize the Mayor to execute renewal of the

- 6/13/85
CC-85-194 Following clarification, Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by
Mayor Grant, ALL AYES, to adopt Resolution No. 85-07.
LIABILITY INSURANCE FUND APPROPRIATION
Responding to Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Finance Director Schwab
clarified the City participates in a self-insurance pool, and expenses
are prorated with the other participating cities, major law suits
would have a significant affect when claims exceed $100,000, a
multi -million judgment of any city within the pool would increase the
premium considerably. City Attorney Hopkins clarified punitive
damages and advised the City has no coverage for this.
CC-85-195 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson, ALL AYES, to authorize $19,752 appropriation from General

Minutes were provided. Barbaraathews, Chairperson, advised there
was no quorum for the last two meetings.
n
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the reason the Committee lacked a
quorum for the last meeting was because a Committee member with a
broken foot had no way to indicate her presence at the handicap
entrance of the building. City Manager Armstead advised a work order
has been initiated to install a doorbell at the handicap entrance.
Mayor Grant noted this is needed for the Meeting Room and Library.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE - Mayor Pro Tem Matteson reported the
ommittee will be assisting a developer who plans to develop nine
acres located in the east part of the City, the Committee is working
toward attracting a hardware store and family restaurant.
Mayor Grant advised he received a telephone call this date from Steve
Anderson, President of Modern Materials, a wholesale building
materials firm, indicating possible acquisition of Inland Lumber and
concern about possible constraints due to its location, the Mayor
noted previous complaints received from adjacent residents regarding
excessive noise from Inland Lumber's operation. Recommended that
Staff immediately contact Mr. Anderson, furnish him any necessary
informtion, and inquire whether this would be strictly a wholesale
operation. For the record, "would encourage the City to encourage
this man if and in fact he meets what we are looking for - if he does
not, if it is going to create the same problems we had before, then
I'm not so certain I'm that anxious." Mayor Pro Tem Matteson
recommended advising him of previous problems. Councilwoman
Pfennighausen, with Mayor Grant concurring, indicated she did not
favor encouraging a business in that area that would not generate
additional revenue.
POLICE CHIEF REPORT - Dick Rollins, 22700 De Berry, commended the
Sheriff's Department for apprehending burglary suspects.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Evans (1) Requested that mail addressed to individual
Counci mem ers a forwarded directly to Council unopened. Mayor Grant
concurred, noted outgoing correspondence on City stationery should be
made available to all Councilmembers, (2) Questioned and received
clarification that Council action to approve funding two Planning
positions did not include approving those positions. Responding to
questions, City Manager Armstead advised that the Planning Director
advised him he would continue the Planning functions until Council
determines whether they will be contracted or in-house, noted that
Mr. Kicak has indicated a willingness to continue contractual services
and would submit a proposal when RFP's are circulated.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson SB 75, the Deep Pocket Bill, has passed the
Senate and is coming efore the Assembly, sent letters urging support
of the Bill to 14 Assemblymen, and encouraged support by City
Officials and Chambers of Commerce. Councilwoman Pfennighausen
advised she has sent two sets of letters supporting this Bill, felt
the volume of mail has an impact.

Foundation, will provide copies to Council;(2) Referencing Council

APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL - CUP/SPECIFIC PLAN 85-8
Planning Director Kicak advised McMillin Development is appealing the
Planning Commission's denial of its application for a Specific
Plan/Conditional Use Permit 85-8, Mt. Vernon Villas, at the May 20
meeting. The Planning Commission denial was based on. (1)
Inconsistencies in the Specific Plan; (2) The proposed development
would be detrimental to the general health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare of the persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed use; and (3) The impact on the City's
infrastructures and Circulation Element. Recommended conducting the
Public Hearing, then determine whether to deny, approve, or modify the
CUP/Specific Plan for return to the Planning Commission for
consideration.
Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing.
Supporting Testimony
Al Trevino, the appellant, advised adjustments were made to the
initial plan after three of the major land owners coordinated and
agreed upon access points, grading, and landscaping. Noted Council
commended the coordinated effort and presentation of the revised plan
in July, 1984, and the City Engineer was directed to negotiate for
Gage Canal crossings as shown on the overall plan, based on this
positive review, the property owner entered into a binding agreement.
This specific plan meets the overall concept of the plan previously
reviewed by the City Council. Following approval of the R-3 zoning,
input from residents at those Hearings, and review with Staff,
corrections were incorporated into the final document.
Mr. Trevino stated the Specific Plan includes a master plan for
grading and utilities, retail sales potential analysis, school
generation study, energy cooperative study with SCE, a program for
parks, bike trails, and landscaping. Three traffic engineering
reports concluded that Mt. Vernon will have the capacity to handle the
buildout of Grand Terrace based on the densities of its adopted
General Plan when the schedule of improvements are completed, he had
recommended a landscaped entry to the City and a divided roadway. The
Chamber of Commerce supports the multi -family projects, the Senior
Citizens have indicated approval of planned senior citizen housing
within the project, made every effort to conform with the needs and
demands of the City, felt the Plan meets all requirements. Mr.
Trevino gave a slide presentation on this and other developments.
Mr. Trevino, based on the indication by neighboring residents that a
density of 12-13 units per acre would not create a problem, proposed a
base density of 12.75 units per acre and an additional 4 or more units
per acre devoted totally for senior housing; noted senior units would
not create impaction and referenced Council Minutes reflecting
Council's desire to do something for the senior citizens.
Attorney Jerold Walsh, Cox, Castle & Nicholson, representing Mr.
Trevino and McMillin Development, stated the Planning Commission had
previously advised Council they would not approve the density, State
legislation forbids denial based on density, it is only a factor when
there is no satisfactory mitigation or avoidance of the adverse
impact. Stated the basis for denial by the Planning Commission is not
specific and gives no guidance. Noted 25 of the 33 Staff -recommended
conditions pertain to the impact on the infrastructures and the
Circulation Element, felt the developer has agreed to adequate
mitigations. This project is proposed by a responsible, professional,
experienced developer with a reputation to protect and a history of
making positive contributions to the community. The project requires
a certain density to be successful financially. Requested approval of
the project as submitted.
Jack R. Booker, 11785 Mt. Vernon, advised he was speaking in behalf of
a citizen's committee to express their views on density in general for
Areas 10, 11 and 12, felt their views have been ignored by developers,
some Councilmembers, and some Planning Commissioners. felt the
density will relate in proportion to impaction on traffic, school,
crime, and other social problems. The Committee is prepared, if
necessary, to use the ballot initiative process to amend the General
Plan, requested deferring any action that would permit developers to
build in excess of 12.5 units per acre in Areas 10, 11 and 12 until
the citizens of Grand Terrace can properly and adequately make their
views better known to all concerned.
Homer H. Howell, 11821 Mt. Vernon, opposed high density in Areas 10,
11 and 12, feeling the entire community would be impacted by increased
traffic and taxes, noted approximately 70 residents have spoken in
opposition to the proposed density, commended McMillin Development and
recommended they plan the entire area keeping 12 units per acre in
Page 7 -
6/13/85
mind, requested not supporting the appeal and resolvement of problems
for the entire area.
Ernest Alexander, 11712 Mt. Vernon, supported the project, felt
traffic problems, which already exist, could be reduced by slowing the
traffic with signals.
Verda Hixson, 555 Country Club Road, San Bernardino, supported the
development; felt there has been sufficient time to resolve problems,
felt the project should not be denied since Mr. Trevino has spent an
entire year trying to please the community.
Barney Karger, 11668 Bernardo Way, speaking in support, noted the City
is pursuing commercial development, but the present population cannot
support existing businesses. Questioned why the citizens did not
oppose high density of other developments or appear at recent General
Plan Update hearings opposing R-3 zoning. Felt this will be a
high -quality development, based on the developer's reputation,
concerned that inferior development could result with another
developer if this project is denied.
Al Trevino opposed delaying the project for further comprehensive
planning, felt it important to arrive at a decision.
Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson questioned the enforcability of maintaining
designated senior citizen units strictly for senior citizens. City
Attorney Hopkins advised it would be difficult, but the City could
legally enforce and would have to monitor such a provision. Mr.
Trevino advised the developer would be required to report the number
of senior citizens to the City every six months, which is required for
developments requiring 20% low to moderate income housing.
Mayor Grant questioned if the Planning Commission and/or Council can
determine what is best for the community and whether aesthetics can be
interpreted as relating to the welfare of the community. City
Attorney Hopkins stated the Legislature has granted that authority,
Council cannot arbitrarily find circumstances to defeat a project, but
can disapprove a project based on substantial evidence that certain
conditions exist which could be detrimental to the health, safety and
welfare of the community, even though the project conforms to the
zoning and General Plan. Read the Specific Plan requirements,
pursuant to Section 65451 of the Government Code, and the provisions
for the CUP and appeal process, pursuant to Sections 18.66.040 and
18.66.050 of the Municipal Code.
Councilman Petta noted residents were advised their concerns for how
density would impact traffic would be addressed during the Specific
Plan process, Staff has identified traffic problems that could result
from another project, the hill north of Grand Terrace Road on Mt.
Vernon will always be a problem, voiced concern for traffic impaction
as a result of not just one project, but for 55 acres of apartments
Page 8 -
6/13/85
concentrated in one block in the middle of downtown, plus traffic
generated from the commercial center.
Mr. Trevino stated the traffic issue has been addressed, his traffic
engineers concurred with the City's Traffic Element which suggests
that the roads, when fully improved, will have the capacity to handle
full buildout of the City. Noted the traffic studies were based on
fully developing the 55 acres at a density of 25 units per acre. Felt
the question is the design of the road relative to whether a
high-speed, four -lane road is desired versus a two-lane divided road.
Recommended a divided road for aesthetics, both have the capacity to
handle the traffic.
Councilman Evans questioned and Mr. Kicak advised the Specific Plan
generally meets all requirements of the General Plan. City Attorney
Hopkins confirmed density cannot be a primary issue for rejecting the
project. Responding to Councilman Evans as to documentation that
could be used to reject the plan, Mr. Kicak advised he could not say
whether it should or should not be rejected. Traffic was one of the
major issues; in meetings with the developer, requested that they
investigate the area of Mt. Vernon below Grand Terrace Road, but it
was never addressed. Noted that issue was pointed out in his traffic
report relative to the extension of Brentwood. If the City is willing
to live with the level of service that will result from not only this,
but all of the development, there is no reason to deny any single
project.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen questioned and City Attorney Hopkins and
Planning Director Kicak confirmed they reviewed the Specific Plan and
found no areas of non-compliance with the provisions set forth for
specific plans. Responding to Councilwoman Pfennighausen relative to
the Planning Commission complying with the requirement that negative
findings be definitive, specific and in writing, City Attorney Hopkins
advised the Planning Commission made negative findings which were
reflected in the minutes, could possibly have been more definitive.
Mr. Kicak stated the minutes reflect the specificities of the
findings.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated she found the Planning Commission
findings neither specific nor definitive and difficult for Council to
support. Felt medium density housing within walking distance to a
shopping area would add the necessary population base to support
commercial enterprise and increase sales tax revenue with minimum
traffic impaction. Felt the Mt. Vernon hill north from Grand Terrace
road to Washington will always remain as it is, felt the real problem
is at the base of the hill, which will be resolved by Colton and
Caltrans with a traffic signal.
Councilman Petta stated he can only view that hill as an unbearable
problem if the entire area is developed as proposed. Density creates
traffic, consideration must be given to the impact caused by 55 acres
of apartments concentrated in one block in the middle of downtown.
Page 9 -
6/13/85
Councilman Evans noted the Planning Commission denied the project due
to inconsistencies with the Specific Plan and questioned what they
were. Mr. Kicak stated he could not relate the inconsistencies
without reviewing the minutes, the number of units vs. the school
generation factor was one of several items.
Councilman Evans, noting that all potential developers of Areas 10, 11
and 12 are present, questioned if Mr. Howell would be adverse to
McMillin Development developing all of those areas. Mr Howell felt it
is a reputable firm, does a nice job, and should consider the entire
area at one time, with density at approximately 12 units per acre and
30% of the area developed into parks, bicycle paths, walkways, etc.
Councilman Evans questioned whether the other developers would agree
to work with McMillin Development to put together a comprehensive and
complete package for the entire area.
Barney Karger concurred with working with Mr. Trevino and USA
Properties to develop the area, would appreciate Mr. Trevino's
expertise in designing his 10 acres adjacent to this project, felt
less than 17 units per acre would result in a more cheaply built
development with less landscaping. Recommended five or less members
on a Planning Commission, felt the present Commission is not planning
in advance for the City, felt they should have considered posing a
$50.00 per unit contribution from the developers to help fund a
traffic signal at the intersection of Barton Road/Canal Street.
Mr. Khalon, USA Properties, advised they initially approached Council
with a master plan proposing 20 units per acre on 40 acres. Master
planning is needed for the City. Concerned that starting a master plan
at this time will delay the projects three months, would be easier if
only one property owner. Felt the proposal to establish senior
citizen density in one project is not workable. When he submits his
plan, intends to show that traffic is no concern and that there are
tools to substantially mitigate the traffic problems.
Bob Keeney, 12139 Mt. Vernon, was not opposed to a master plan for the
area, however, his property is not contiguous with the others. His
problem is the time taken to get a project processed which costs
money.
Al Trevino felt overall planning is good, their original attempt was
only to solve the Gage Canal access problem. Noted that development
in the surrounding cities is taking the market, commercial development
is preempting any development within Grand Terrace. Voiced concern
for the time being taken, the market being eroded, and the uncertainty
of the economy for the next 6 months which indicates it will be very
flat and financing may not be available. Timing is of major
importance in real estate.
In response to Councilman Evans, Mr. Trevino confirmed he would not be
adverse to becoming the master planner for that entire area if
agreeable to other individuals. Felt his original concepts to develop
a tennis/swim club and internal park area which would be available to
Page 10 -
6/13/85
outside citizens would be extremely beneficial to the City, but the
community has not been receptive. Proposed bike trails and windbreaks
to decrease noise from the freeway with his firm planting the trees,
but individual citizens stated they weren't needed or wanted. Stated
everything his firm has submitted meets the conditions of the Specific
Plan; tried to be creative. Felt it would be difficult to start over
unless there is a firm commitment from Council to allow certain
latitudes and flexibility; can't live with 12-14 units per acre. From
the economy standpoint, market position would be lost, and there are
many unknowns such as the bond market, interest rates, financing and
proposed tax laws.
Councilman Evans questioned the time element to develop a master plan
and how internal circulation would be incorporated. Mr. Trevino
stated 2-3 exciting schematic concepts could be developed in 2-3
weeks. Would incorporate internal green belts, not necessarily roads,
would want security, privacy and lockable gates.
Mr. Khalon concurred with master planning. Agreed to participate only
if clear direction is provided on density at a level the developers
can live with. The developers can then dedicate land for common
parks, swimming pools, etc., and the circulation element would be
changed.
City Attorney Hopkins read Section 65589.5 of the Government Code
relating to procedures required upon approving or disapproving
projects.
Mayor Grant questioned and City Attorney Hopkins advised requiring
condominiums could be considered capricious and arbitrary unless
substantial evidence determined an adverse impact that could be
mitigated by condominiums, reduced density cannot be required if there
is no evidence of adverse impact and the project complies in all
respects with the General Plan, local zoning, and all development
policies, popularity is not a basis to approve or disapprove a
project. Noted if Council adopts the Specific Plan, the people can
set aside that decision through the referendum process, and can change
the General Plan through the initiative process.
CC-85-198 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to
modify and approve the CUP/Specific Plan 85-8, Mt. Vernon Villas, for
12.75 units per acre plus a bonus density of three units per acre for
senior citizens to include the findings and conditions as read by the
City Attorney and outlined in Section 18.66.040 of the Municipal Code.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, with Councilman Petta concurring, stated he
based his Motion on the consensus that 12-13 units per acre was
acceptable to the community, felt the additional senior citizen units
would not impact traffic, schools, or the crime rate, felt the
compromise would benefit the developer and the senior citizens.
Mayor Grant opened the meeting for public testimony.
Page 11 -
6/13/85
Al Trevino stated the proposed action was generally acceptable.
Requested specific reasons for reducing the density from 17.1 units
per acre and recommended considering more than 3 units for senior
citizens.
Bob Keeney advised the Church has expressed willingness to release its
5-1/2 to 6 acre parcel for a senior citizen development, suggested the
developers pool funding to develop that parcel for senior citizens to
provide them a separate complex adjacent to the convalescent hospital,
and allowing the developers' requested density for the other projects.
Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to
amend Motion No. CC-85-198 to approve the CUP/Specific Plan 85-8 as
presented, failed 2-3, with Councilman Evans and Councilwoman
Pfennighausen voting AYE.
Motion No. CC-85-198 carried 3-2, with Councilman Evans and
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voting NOE.
City Attorney Hopkins advised that one of the findings for reducing
the density of the project is the fact that reduced traffic will
mitigate the adverse impact on traffic and circulation within the
City; allowing a bonus of three units per acre for senior citizens
will mean fewer automobiles and trips within that portion of the
project, which will also reduce traffic and mitigate the adverse
impact on traffic and circulation within the community.
CC-85-199 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES
to approve the Negative Declaration and direct the City Clerk to file
a Notice of Determination with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
Recessed at 10:04 p.m. and reconvened at 10.25 p.m., with all present.
REVENUE SHARING PROPOSED USE - FY 1985-86
Finance Director Schwab advised $13,251 has been budgeted for Revenue
Sharing Funds, due to the possibility the City may only receive a
portion of the normal allocation. The Public Hearing Notice
advertised $50,000 to ensure legal compliance in the event the City
receives the full allocation this year. Recommended using the funding
for law enforcement.
Mayor Grant, upon advising that the Revenue Sharing Funds for FY
1985-86 have been proposed for law enforcement, opened Public Hearing
and closed Public Hearing, with no testimony received.
CC-85-200 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson, ALL AYES, to approve the use of the Revenue Sharing Funds
for FY 1985-86 for Law Enforcement.
RESOLUTION NO. 85-09 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CA RNIA, ADOPTING A BUDGET OF ESTIMATED REVENUES AND
EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1985-86.
Page 12 -
6/13/85
Finance Director Schwab advised that Council, during the Budget
Sessions, approved total projected revenues in the amount of
$2,944,745 and total expenditures in the amount of $3,066,981.
Recommended conducting a Public Hearing and adopting the Resolution.
Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing.
John Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, questioned how the Chamber plans to
utilize the $30,000 granted by the City, supported the Newsletter as
an informational vehicle but opposed the proposed cost to the City,
felt any organization requesting public funds should be held
accountable for the proposed use of that funding.
Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing, there being no further testimony
In discussion, it was clarified the $30,000 was granted for
utilization at the Chamber's discretion with the condition a quarterly
financial report is to be provided Council showing how the funds are
being expended. Line Item 221 on Page 5 of the Budget is to be
amended to reflect the Chamber Grant.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated she understands the Chamber is
considering potential changes in the handling of the newsletter,
staffing the Chamber office on a part-time basis and preparing
promotional material to market the City as a commercial entity.
Councilman Petta stated Council initially agreed to pay the cost of
printing the newsletter, this year the Chamber requested $30,000 to
include all costs associated with the newsletter, felt Council should
consider stipulating conditions in the event the newsletter could be
discontinued.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson stated he fully supports the Chamber but voted
against the grant, felt the Chamber should display fiscal
responsibility and submit estimates of costs for projects that require
City funding, recommended reducing the grant to $20,000, with the
Chamber to continue fund-raising activities. Mayor Grant advised his
position on the grant has not changed, but due to the input received
at this time, feels additional information should be provided by the
Chamber prior to final approval of this item.
Motion by Councilman Petta that the City pay for printing of the
newsletter on the basis of a bid mutually acceptable to the City and
the Chamber, to ensure having a newsletter with adequate City
coverage, died for lack of a second.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the Chamber is not considering
eliminating the newsletter, but is investigating reducing the cost in
order to accomplish other things, felt the Chamber is comprised of
intelligent business individuals and that the City should not attempt
control by requiring them to request funding for each individual
project. Councilman Evans recommended eliminating reference to the
newsletter, approving the grant and allowing the Chamber to promote
the community in the manner it feels is most productive.

Mr. Kicak advised that, as outlined in his letter to the City Manager,
he will remain as the Planning Director and provide planning services

Council questions, City Manager Armstead clarified the RFP's for
Planning Services are being prepared and do not imply a decision has
been made relative to contracted or in-house services.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FY 1985-86 EXPENDITURES
Doug Erway, President, Grand Terrace Area Chamber of Commerce,
outlined the Chamber's Projected Operating Budget for 1985-86 in the
amount of $50,500, which was provided to Council, advised the $18,000
projected for a Newsletter is based upon City funding. Responding to
questions, Mr Erway advised the City's $30,000 funding would be
utilized as an economic development grant, not exclusively for any
specific expense item
Councilman Petta felt the Chamber should be instrumental in the City's
progress, was not aware that anything was previously mentioned about
economic development, noted the initial objective of granting funds
was for a Newsletter, would support the funding provided the City can
be assured the Newsletter will be continued to provide City related
information to the community Mr Erway advised the Chamber
interpreted the proposed $30,000 as an economic development grant to
be utilized as the Chamber saw fit, part of which is for a community
newsletter - the Chamber's Board of Directors intends to continue
the Newsletter, provided they have the funds
Page 1 -
6/27/85
CC-85-204A Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Mayor Grant, to allocate the
$30,000 grant funding for FY 1985-86 based upon the Chamber's
Projected Operating Budget for 1985-86, with the guarantee the Chamber
will continue an adequate Newsletter whereby City news will be
disseminated to the people.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voiced regret that the Chamber's Board of
Directors' integrity and honesty have been attacked.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt discussions have benefited the Chamber and
the City, felt the Projected Operational Budget displays more fiscal
responsibility, based on that, voiced support for the allocation
without stipulations.
Councilman Evans indicated he felt the next year is crucial in
establishing a commercial base to generate sales tax, which would
benefit the entire community, visualizes the Chamber being
instrumental in attracting businesses, felt there should be no
stipulations regarding the grant funding.
Mayor Grant indicated concurrence with Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, felt
Council should not appropriate the funds if it does not have faith in
the Chamber. For the record, advised he has faith and confidence in
the Chamber, feeling it is a viable, excellent organization and the
Newsletter is an excellent personification of what the Chamber stands
for, would continue support for the Chamber until the day it became
partisan, felt that would never happen.
Councilman Petta advised his statements were only to clarify Council's
initial position, not to degrade the Chamber.
CC-85-204B Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to amend
Motion No. CC-85-204A to allocate the $30,000 based upon the
expenditures in the Projected Budget.
David TerBest, Chamber President Elect, advised the Projected
Operating Budget would not be adopted until November; as incoming
President, requested Council grant the funding in the spirit of
support, felt tying the Chamber tightly to the Budget could severely
interfere with their operation, the Chamber will support Council and
maintain the funds on a non -partisan basis. The Board does not wish
to lessen the quality of the Newsletter, however, long before hearing
Council concerns, the Chamber decided it needed to do more for the
community than provide a Newsletter, felt the Budget indicates they
are looking to the future to develop the business community.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, with Councilman Petta indicating concurrence,
advised the intent of the Motion to amend Motion No. CC-85-204A was to
allocate the funds based on the intent of the Projected Operational
Budget, not to any particular item. Mayor Grant felt the Motion
indicates a desire for the Newsletter to continue
Motion No. CC-85-204B to amend Motion CC-85-204A carried 3-2, with
Councilwoman Pfennighausen and Councilman Evans voting NOE.

Motion No. CC-85-204A, as amended, carried 3-2, with Councilwoman
Pfennighausen and Councilman Evans voting NOE.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, for the record, advised both her NOE votes
indicated dissatisfaction with the words of the Motion, not the
intent. It has been her experience that when the words get down on
paper, the intent gets lost. Advised she totally supports this
Chamber and would liked to have seen this Council, in a 5-0 vote,
reaffirm the $30,000 grant as it was given.
Councilman Evans voiced concurrence and total support of this Chamber,
felt the members are responsible business people, he voted NOE because
he objected to stipulations tied in.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, for the record, stated he previously voted NOE
on the issue because he could not see any fiscal responsibility; felt
the Chamber now has shown it, and he supports them 100%.
Mr. Erway noted the Chamber will be continuing a monthly financial
report to the City and will respond to any Council concerns.

"NO PARKING" DESIGNATION - GRAND TERRACE ROAD CUL-DE-SAC
Councilman Evans, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen concurring, felt
Staff's recommendation to designate the cul-de-sac in the 22000 Block
of Grand Terrace Road a "No Parking" area would be placing an undue
burden on law abiding citizens who wish to look over the valley, felt
there are laws that can be enforced to remedy the problems created by
a minority, therefore, recommended denying Staff's recommendation.
Staff presented slides supporting the Staff Report.
Mayor Grant and Councilman Petta voiced support for Staff's
recommendation, feeling it would be effective. Mayor Grant based his
support on the Staff Report advising it would allow the Sheriff's
Department to provide more adequate enforcement.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen questioned and Lt. O'Rourke responded he
felt the "No Parking" designation was not necessary for their
enforcement, he recommended more extensive patrol of the area.
Page 4 -
6/27/85
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson questioned and Community Services Director
Anstine advised it was Staff's intention to designate the entire cul
de sac a "No Parking" area, wasn't certain of the City's jurisdiction
to prohibit parking in the entire area, however, parking off the
pavement would be risky since that area is unstable. Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson felt Staff's recommendation would not resolve the problem,
felt people's lives would be jeopardized by parking off the pavement.
CC-85-210 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilwoman
Pfennighausen, to take no action at this time. Councilman Petta
noted residents' concerns, felt Councilmembers would not want to live
in an area where that type of degrading situation existed, questioned
and Lt. O'Rourke responded he felt barricading would not keep people
out, Lt. O'Rourke recommended, with Councilman Evans and Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson concurring, extensive patrol of the area. Mayor Grant
indicated concern for people parking off the pavement, however, felt
Staff's recommendation would be effective.
Motion No. CC-85-210 carried, 3-2, with Mayor Grant and Councilman
Petta voting NOE.
BLOCK PARTY STREET CLOSURE - HAMPTON CT. OFF OBSERVATION DRIVE
Dick Rollins questioned authorizing a public street closure for events
not open to the public. City Attorney Hopkins advised it would be
difficult to exclude the public, however, would not recommend
publicizing such an event every time a street closure is authorized.
CC-85-211 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant, ALL AYES,
to authorize the closure of Hampton Court off Observation Drive, July
7, 1985, from 4 30 - 8 30 p.m., for a Block Party.
Recessed at 6 45 p.m. and reconvened at 7:00 p.m., with all members
present.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Larry Halstead, 22675 Barton Road, advised he was speaking for
himself, not as a Chamber representative, to protect and preserve the
reputation of his business, personal honor, and integrity, was
responding to accusations by a Councilmember and Council actions that
mandated the Chamber to take certain actions in order to receive
funding. Questioned and expressed concern for the ability of an
outside firm to publish a satisfactory Newsletter, advised the
Newsletter was late due to articles not meeting deadlines.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson requested a legal opinion, feeling this type of
testimony should not be allowed after Council has made decisions.
City Attorney Hopkins stated Mr. Halstead has the right to address
questions raised regarding the Newsletter and his firm's
participation, personally did not feel Council should allow this to be
a complete forum for pursuing attacks on individuals outside of the
area of City business because it wastes Council's time - advised that
Council could establish time limits for discussion.
Page 5 -
6/27/85
Mayor Grant noted he has been criticized for ' nducting long meetings
and his liberal view of people's right to spea , will continue to
conduct long meetings for that purpose, concurring with the City
Attorney, requested that Mr. Halstead not discuss personal problems
between him and a member of Council.
Mr. Halstead felt his prices are not out of line for quality printing,
has discounted and donated printing and services to clubs and
organizations, felt the Newsletter was a tool for economic
development. Recommended the City Council and community work together
in harmony.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, being aware of printing costs, felt the
Chamber was paying an exhorbitant amount, is satisfied with the
Chamber's Projected Budget that reduces the estimated cost for the
Newsletter by $12,000. Felt the issue should be dropped, concurred
there should be an effort to work together in the future.

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
SCE Park Site Lease - Councilman Evans felt there is an apparent need
for additiona pa-rV land and advised that SCE may lease approximately
10 acres to the City. In order to provide available funding for the
anticipated SCE 10-acre site, Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to rescind Motion No. CC-85-154 at the
June 16, 1985 meeting regarding Parks Project Account 4445 Line Item
602 in the amount of $4,000, which was appropriated for the upgrade of
ballfield facilities at Terrace View Elementary School, that Line
Items 702 be modified rescinding that share of the $2,500 appropriated
for picnic tables and barbeques, with the budget appropriation for
Terrace Hills Community Park being retained.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen questioned and Community Services Director
Anstine advised it was the Parks & Recreation Committee's intent to
utilize Line Item 702 funding to install picnic tables and barbecues
at Terrace View Elementary School, concrete slabs are questionable.
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt the Motion is premature, recommended
waiting until it is certain the City will acquire the land and knows
the estimated costs, then Council should determine whether the City
can provide funding. Councilman Petta concurred additional land is
needed, however, favored keeping the Park Projects Budget as
previously approved, feeling present sites should continue to be
developed. Councilwoman Pfennighausen indicated she is certain SCE
intends to lease a 10-acre park site to the City contingent on the
City providing a plan for its development. Councilman Evans felt
funding should be expended on a site that can be developed into a
complete park atmosphere.
City Manager Armstead recommended deferring action to allow Staff time
to prepare a report and have an SCE representative present.
CC-85-214 Mayor Pro Tem Matteson called for the question. Motion by Mayor
Grant, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to overrule the
Call for the Question.
Page 7 -
6/27/85
Mayor Grant indicated support for the expenditure of these funds for
the SCE land, however, concurred Staff should prepare a report on the
matter. Councilwoman Pfennighausen recommended an SCE representative
also be present.
The Motion by Councilman Evans failed 2-3, with Mayor Grant, Mayor Pro
Tem Matteson, and Councilman Petta voting NOE.
Councilman Petta - (1) Red Curb Extension, Barton Road Fronting Azure
Hills Sevent Day Adventist Church - following Councilman Petta s
recommendation, C5uncil aut-5—or—izieU the red curbing on the south side
of Barton Road fronting the Seventh Day Adventist Church be extended
to the driveways east and west.
(2) Councilman Petta stated he feels the stop sign at Holly and
Arliss Drive is not justified, noted opposing correspondence received
by Council, stated he also has been advised of a petition signed by 42
residents voicing objection. Mayor Grant noted the Arliss Drive curve
creates a blind spot, felt, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen indicating
concurrence, the stop sign is justified to save lives.
(3) Recommended Staff research procedures of other cities and the
School Board and prepare a report for Council consideration relative
to minimizing lengthy, irrelevant conversation on the part of
individuals, including Council, in an effort to shorten the meetings
and reduce their costs. Mayor Grant, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen
concurring, favored not imposing time limits, Mayor Grant felt any
limitations should also apply to Council and the Chair. Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson felt everyone should be allowed to speak, however, concurred
with Councilman Petta, feeling presentations should be organized, not
too lengthy, and they should speak on present issues. There was a
consensus that no action be taken relative to this matter.
(4) Recommended, with Council concurrence, presenting an award to
Griffin Homes in appreciation of their park land donation.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen (1) Noted Staff was directed at the May
28 meeting to furnisFinformation relative to ensuring repairs of
street failures caused by Riverside Highland Water Company's street
cuts, there has since been a waterline failure on Brentwood, cited
major problems at Mt. Vernon and Deberry and Preston south of Barton
Road. Proposed directing the City Attorney to initiate action to
require Riverside highland Water Company to file a bond with the City
for repair of all its street cuts and that major excavations be
inspected before allowing them to be closed.
Councilman Petta felt Staff should first seek voluntary cooperation
since it is a mutual water company and any added costs would be
reflected in the cost of the water. Councilwoman Pfennighausen
objected since previous efforts failed, she questioned and was advised
the City would be jointly liable for any accident resulting from
street failures. Councilman Petta volunteered, and Council voiced no
objection, to meet with the Water Company Councilwoman Pfennighausen
felt that whatever is agreed upon should be backed up legally.

(2) Referenced a letter Council received from Mary E. Lawrence, 11845
Kingston, requesting the Council adopt an ordinance restricting the
parking of RV's and large vehicles from view of the street and voicing

shopping mall. Councilwoman Pfennishausen recommended Staff advising

CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE, CHAPTER 2.16,
DEALING WITH THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE PLANNING COMMISSION (First
Reading)
City Attorney Hopkins read the title of the Ordinance, advised Staff
was directed to prepare an ordinance to reduce the membership of the
Planning Commission from the current nine members to seven, subsequent
to the May 9 second reading of a proposed Ordinance that would have
immediately reduced that membership on its effective date, Council
requested another ordinance be prepared for consideration that would
allow that reduction through attrition as of June 14, 1986, with some
term expirations adjusted to stagger the terms of office. As
suggested by the City Clerk, an alternate proposed ordinance
(Ordinance "B") was provided that would establish the terms to expire
on November 30, which would comply with the Council elections
currently held in November and allow newly -elected councilmembers to
participate in the selection of new Commissioners.

$542,819.00. $450,000.00 is available for the Project and Staff is
pursuing additional FAU funding. Would recommend awarding the
Contract to the lowest bidder, however, recommended postponing the
award until the total amount of available funding is known.
CIVIC CENTER BIKE RACK INSTALLATION
Community Services Director Anstine advised, pursuant to Council
direction, he investigated and found only two feasible locations for a
bike rack installation immediately adjacent to the Civic Center -
(1) within an existing parking stall south of the Civic Center,
(2) on the west side of the Civic Center immediately adjacent to the
sidewalk, which would require an additional cost of $500 00 to
relocate the irrigation system, installation of a 14 foot concrete
slab, and removal of the existing sod. He gave a slide presentation
of five possible locations, recommended installation at the site
immediately adjacent to the Civic Center on the west side, acquiring
the single side, 8-bike Model 708 bike rack and special appropriation
of $725 00
Eric Pulsifer, 981 West Street, Colton, Colton Courier Reporter,
concurred with the recommended location for better security.
Councilman Petta voiced concern for the congestion that would be
created at the west location, recommended the parking stall on the
south side since it would be away from sidewalks.
CC-85-217 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilwoman
Pfennighausen, to authorize installation of a bicycle rack at the site
immediately adjacent to the Civic Center on the west side, to
authorize acquisition of the Model No. 708 Bike Rack, and to approve a
special appropriation in the amount of $725.00 to cover installation,
carried 4-1, with Councilman Petta voting NOE.
