Re: San Bernardino County's Waste -to -Energy Project
Dear Honorable Board Members
On September 10 the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) Board engaged in a considerable discussion of the waste -
to -energy issues and voted (Mayor Wilcox and Councilman Mikels
abstaining) to send you this letter for consideration during your
September 15 deliberations.
It should be explicitly noted that the points made herein are
solely on behalf of SANBAG generally, as a continuing part of our
involvement in this subject They do not imply concurrence by
each city, individual cities and elected officials retain the
authority to provide independent opinions.
Perhaps our comments can be best summarized in the following way.
* The joint SANBAG/County committee, which spent over a
year in a learning process, resulting in the selection of
a recommended contractor and technology for further
detailed consideration, was the best possible example of
an effective, open public representation process. It
involved a responsible cross-section of city elected and
technical officials, with regular reports to the SANBAG
Board and, as desired, to individual cities.
* As a result, the Board of Supervisors executed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the selected
contractor, Energy Technology Associates (ETA), and
negotiations have proceeded with systematic diligence.
During the negotiation period, the proposal has been
dramatically improved in the area of performance risk
guarantees by the addition of a new joint venture
partner, Foster Wheeler, who has agreed to provide a 20
year operating guarantee

* Continued progress is important, not only because of the
benefits of retaining this strong contractor team, but
more critically because of the 1990 evpiration of the
guaranteed power sales contract (Standard Order No 4)
Without the benefits of this agreement, the revenue per
kilowatt hour will fall from 13 cents to 2 cents,
rendering the project economically infeasible.
* It appears increasingly impossible to envision additional
landfill sites, not only due to public opposition but
also, increasingly, from water quality considerations.
Costs are escalating for both maintaining and,
surprisingly, for closing landfills. Proposed desert
sites will be confronted with intensive regulatory,
legal, and public challenges
* Air quality concerns (which, however, need to be
considered in association with water quality and the
public service need for waste disposal itself) are
paramount They should be subjected to a comprehensive
analysis and approval by all responsible agencies with
full public participation through a well -publicized
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process. (It should be
noted that a number of other plants proposed westerly of
us should receive equal scrutiny by ourselves as well as
the approving agencies.)
For these reasons, we urge -the Board of Supervisors to take steps
which encourage the review_process to continue forward, including
consideration by and input from the cities, and not to take
actions nor construe interpretations of the ballot measure which
would preclude a continued process, while giving full
consideration to all areas of concern alternative methods of
waste disposal, air quality, economics, and land use and social
impacts.

RE: San Bernardino County's
Waste -to -Energy Project
Decr Honorable Board Members-
Wnile we are not yet facing a garbage crisis in the Valley ;rea of San
Bernardino County, we will be in the ro-_ too distant future if ,,e ao not
i;roceed in an expeditious manner with tree development of a waste -to -energy
project. Any further delays, and the project will not be able to meet
contractual commitments of the Edison Power Purchase Agree-=nt which was
signed in April, 1985. The Agreement, which provides very attractive Poker
Purchase Prices, requires the project to be com.mercially prcaucing pourer by
April, 1990 The Contract with Foster Wheeler and Energy Technology
Associates must be negotiated and signed within the next two months or the
project most likely cannot be permitted, designed, and constructed in time.
4ithout the Edison Agreement, a waste -to -energy project cannot secure
financing
Wnether this project is built or not, we will not see a ncticeable difference
in CLr air Trie air pollution in this air oasis is pr r'ari iy ccusea ,,e
au':c-cbi 1 e, wri ch v;e i n Southern California ha` e ftmonstrated we cannot live
iq1^Out. The South Coast Air -Quality Management District and the California
'gas-_e !idnagei3nt Board feels waste-to-enercy projects are re-„ -_table and, in
fact, suoports the construction of sucn facilities Fhe District also is
encoiraging industry development in our area as a means of reducing the
,-o-,ute that employees must make to their ,lobs. It is the District's nope
that this will alleviate some of the air pollution created by the
autcmobi1es.
If the Valley Area residents are to take responsibility for the garbage they
generate, waste -to -energy is our only real alternative. Our existing
landfills will reach capacity in the near future. It is highly unlikely that
additional landfill capacity in the Valley Area will be permitted due to
public opposition. Landfills have their own potential environmental impacts,
such as, groundwater contamination, damage caused by landfill gas migration,
blowing dust and litter, noise, traffic, odor, attraction to seagulls, just
to name a few. Groundwater contamination is the most critical and typically
goes undetected past the point where corrective action can be taken in a cost
effective manner.
Board of Supervisors, Waste -to -Energy Project Page 2
September 4, 1986
We need and support waste -to -energy development in the Valley Area of San
Bernardino County The County already has an appropriate site at the
Milliken Landfill which the City of Ontario finds acceptable. In addition to
providing a long-term environmentally sound and economically viable means of
disposal, a waste -to -energy plant will conserve fossil fuels (through the
generation of electricity; sufficient to meet the needs of aporoxlmately
40,000 homes), create jobs, generate tax revenue, supply steam to local
industry (Inland Container is very interested in purchasing steam from the
project), and conserve land (for uses other than landfills)
As you are most aware, planning for this project began in 1980 Money,
manpower and materials have been expended based on an intelligent plan of
waste management in our County. The Board, along with all the cities in the
County, approved the County Solid Waste Management Plan on January 27, 1986.
The Plan includes the provision for an energy project at the Milliken Site.
We also want to call to your attention that during the environmental impact
report for this project, there will have to be a series of public hearings to
get the citizens input regarding this plant What's changed so drastically
since that time? Let's not delay any further.
We, therefore, urge the Board of Supervisors to take the necessary action tD
move the project ahead as expeditiously as possible. Let's not waste six
years of waste management planning.
Yours very truly.

Z he Daily Report 1411A
r. Backers of a waste -to -energy plant
p at the Milliken Landfill In Ontario
signaled their confidence, in the
f project by committing , a $200,000
letter of credit to Southern California
Edison by a Tuesday deadline
The letter keeps alive a contract
between Edison and the pai tnership
of Energy Technology Associates
(ETA) and Foster Wheeler Corp
Under the agreement Edison will
pay a guaranteed price for electricity
generated by the trash incinei ator.
Without a committment, the con-
sortium would have faced selling
electricity at the much -lower current
market rate.
That rate is not enough to make the
project financially feasibly-, accord-
ing to Angelo Hazifotls, ETA's vice
president

point, we regard the ETA contract to
be in a satisfactory situation We're
still talking to them," he added.
Hazifotls played down opposition
and obstacles that have arisen in San
Bernardino County regarding the
trash incinerator in recent months
¢ The county Board of Supervisors
i has placed a measure on the Nov 4
ballot that would advise the city of
Ontario to let Its residents vote on the
t trash incinerator befoi a It is ap-
tproved.
Some local officials, such as the
mayors of Fontana and Ontario, feel
the ballot measure may kill the
Incinerator projcct by delaying the
plant beyond the 1990 deadline set in
the Edison contract for the plant to
begin operations
In addition, the Board of Supervi-
sors has called for a report, clue out
Sept 15, reassessing the incinerator
option as opposed to opening addi-
tional trash dumps
But Hazifotls said he is betting that
the opposition that resulted In the
ballot measure is linlited to one
county supervisor, Gus Skropos of
Ontario
"The county (board) is a little
difficult to read at this point," IIazI-
fotis said, follol� Ing two weeks of
meeting, with comity officials

good de(,ision, that It's a good way to
b Supervisors McElwain and Ham
mock also voted for the ballot mea-
sure
In meetings this week with Edison
re,piesentilhVes, Hazifotls was told,
that in order to keel) the purchase
contract alive, he not only had to
make the $200,000 commitment but,
also had to revise his plan for getting
the project approved to address ob-1
stacles more realistically such as the
ballot measure
Hazifotls predicted it will take 12 ,
months to receive the approval of an
enviionmental Impact report on the
project and the air quality permit
from the South Coast Air Quality
Management District
Because it also will also take two
years to build the plant, there is not ;
much room for delays such as com-
pheations fi om the ballot measure if ,
ETA wants to make its 1990 operating
deadline to secure the rates in the
existing Edison contract, Iiazifotis
said.
"We are on a tight schedule," he
said. "But we think we can make it
If we didn't we wouNn't have made

Valley's garbage- i^JQIal problem bum g: plant in Rialto concerns '
IT m the works. - - The county was negotiating with -a
technology consortium for the con-
struction of a 35-megawatt waste -to -
energy plant at Milliken that was
proposed to bum 1,600 tt,ns of trash
per day, which is more than the
landfill currently takes in A trans-
fer station was proposed at the
Fontana Landfill so the plant could
eat into the supply of garbage being
generated by the area to the east
inclumng the city of San Bernardino
Officials hoped to sign a contract
for the plant to operate for at least
20 years.
But on July 23, 4th District County
Super-v-isor Gus Skropos of Ontario,
mane public some concerns that had
baan brew_iig below une surface for
some time
Sixopos said he could not support
tine i ci_rnerstor in his hometown be-
cs.,,,zo he is not s,=t:sfied that the $200
m.lhon project is fira.-icially, techni-
cally or environmentally feasible
111,t c outcry over a proceed tire.
Slxopos, who says he saw the same
public opposition possible in Ontario
There teas a potential for disaster if
the county and private mt. estors
committed large amounts of funding
to the project only to learn that the
public would not stand for a worsen-
ing of the area's pollution.
"I'm not sure the welcome mat is
out for this plant," he said.
Skropos succeeded in gettuig the
county Board of Supervisors to put a
measure on the Nov 4 countymde
ballot that would advise cities like
Ontario to place incinerator projects
to a vote of the people
Local officials who support the
waste -to -energy plant, such as On-
tario Mayor Howard Snider and
Fontana Mayor Nathan Simon, say
the ballot measure may be the aeath
of the project
"I really believe this proposition
will put the hold button on for a lot
longer than we can afford," Sniper
said

The local cities have asked the
Board of Supervisors to go on record
with its position on wast,, to -energy
and the future of trash aisposal
Earlier this month, the board
called for a def rutive study on the
trash disposal issue, to be completed
by Sept 15, which will outluie the
options the count y faces and their
benefits and disadvantages
Buchanan said his office is busy
wor lung on the study
One conclusion that has been
reached is mat w-gether an incinera-
tor is built or not, the county will
need additional landfiIl space, Bu-
chanan said

The Daily Report kxg//S�,
Even after the landfills are
dosed, the problems associated
F.th them continue, as the city of
UzIand has found.
The city of 56,000 residents
stopped using its 35-acre dump on
the northeast corner of Campus
Avenue and 14th Street in 1979, but
it has spent more than $14 million
since then in an effort to officially
close it. - -
Much of the costs have been
taken care of by city garbage
collection rates, which at $7 60 a
month are slightly higher than in
other West Valley cities.
When the to h n fathers, in 1049,
chose a site with a flood control
cha-mel running through it as tie
city du--np, they had no idea of the
envirorrnental restrictions of the
fut'y e
"UnfotW afely, the 'hest Cuca-
monga Channel was scme.h:ng
that really wasn't well tnought
out," said Upland Assistant City
Manager Mike Matlock
He explained that the city has
since spent thous=as of ao'L= to
lute the channel with concrete to
protect the water from any toxic
materials in the lanafill's waste.
The city also has been forced by
the Environmental Protection
Agency to wage an expensive bat-
tle against methane gas that so
often is the product of aecompos-
ung refuse.
At a cost of $ 3W,M it installed
pipes along the borders of the
landfill in 1981 to vacuum out the
gas. Two years later a prn ate
firm installed more pipes to collect
the methane and use it to generate
electricity
Although the city gets =,n- a
year from the arrangement, Nia-
dock estimates, it will only last
about 10 more years — tL-.t l the
much ado, he said, but re-
cent reg,ilat'ons passed in
the wake of toxic -waste
scares are chang.: g that, 1}e
adaed that spending $1 mia-
hon to dose a dump is mm-
mon.
`As a =tier of fact., in the
future there will be even
stricter requirements for
closing landfills," Bagai
said. "In addition to lining,
there will be monitoring "
- Even owners of already
dosed lanctIlIs will have to
test their sites for toxins. if
they have had problems in
the pit or are near a body
of water, he said. - - -
For dumps like Upland's
which have been closed re-
cently, there will be quarter-
ly tests at first, and later
annual tests if they show no
problems, he said. -
Matlock has been looking
ahead to early 1987 when
that program is expected to

gas is no longer- concentrated
enough to be rrarkmable, he said.
At that time the city will have to
use its own s5 st-.n again, he said.
The city also has ar.�-*.aped a car)
to m '.e sWere rain -seater rz:rs off
the dump site, rather than pe. co-
lating down thrash it to the
groundwate :able, j':atlock said.

sue. ation ending?
It makes sense for San Bernardino
County to begin monitoring groundwater
near 14 of its dumpsites
The dumps have been used for years as
the repositories for household wastes.
Goodness knows what kinds of toxic
materials have found their way to them -
Indeed, in bygone years many substances
now commonly known to be toxic were not
appreciated as such and were casually
tosed in the trash It is tune to determine
the extent to which toxics may be percolat-
ing into local water supplies Perhaps too,
the results of these studies will'force the
public to take a more clearheaded, long-
term view of the problem of waste
Traditionally, domestic wastes have
been buried in landfills and forgotten on
the assumption that such activity yields no
consequences As we are discovering, that
is not true Landfill dumpsites may pose a
far greater danger to underground water
supplies than formerly was recognized.
This, in turn, may force society to the
grim realization that there is no "good"
way to dispose of garbage in densely pop-
ulated areas, and that we may have to fall
back upon "lesser of the evils" types of so-
lutions
If buried waste threatens underground
water near high population sites, there are
only limited options — none fully satisfac-
tory — left for disposal
Garbage may be hauled for burial to
less densely populated areas However, that
simply endangers someone else's water
supplies, setting the stage for problems
that surely are going to arise to haunt
somebody in future years Refuse can be
incinerated under controlled conditions
But that, of course, buys water purity at
the expense of some degree of air quality
debasement
Since ancient times mankind has
struggled with the question of disposing of
wastes w hen the human population exceed-
ed the capacity of the surrounding
ecosystem Despite technological ads ances,
w e still have not achieved a wholly satisfac-
tory answer
With burgeoning populations we may
face an unpalatable choice of tradeoffs Do
we drink some degree of our garbage resi-
dues in our water or do we breathe some of
them in our air? That brings us to the point
where technology no longer will offer us
salvation or the opportunity to escape some
very hard political decisions about unlimit-
ed growth in vulnerable areas

EL MOivTE —The South Coast Sabrina Schiller can stay on
the South Coast Air Qua>>ty
Air Quality Management District Management District board un-
board has shelved a proposal that td January, but she'll have to
would have made it easier to trade be more cooperative with her
pollution rights from Los Angeles colleagues, state officials say
and Orange counties to the Inland Empire Story/B2
The directors have decided to
indefinitely table a rule change
that would ha -,a removed a penal-
ty charge for moving air pollution
credits, or offsets, across the four -
county basin
Last Jani ary, the board said
thein rules governing offsets trad-
ing needed revisions because they
prevent companies from moving
their operations from coastal cit-
ies to the San Bernardino-River-
siae area
At that time, Ontario Coun-
cilwoman Faye Myers Dastrup
and Supen sor Robert Hammock,
San Bernardino County's t: o rep-
resentatives on the air quality
board, and other Inland Empire
delegates endorsed the rule
change to boost economic devel-
opment in the area
But the proposal met opposi-
tion from resiaents in the Coa-
chella Vallev and other commu-
nities throughout the air basin,
which includes parts of Los An-
geles, Orange, Riverside and San
Bernardino counties
They argued the rule change
would cause more smog in the de-
sert and adversely impact air gLal-
ity througnoi.t the bas.0
Last month, the four Inland
Empire representatives — Das-
trup, Hammock, Riverside County
Supervisor 'Norton Younglove and
Hemet Councilwoman Patricia
Herron — drafted a Ietter urging
the district not to amend the rule
until a study of the effects of moN,-

PoRutioll: Panel drops offset -trading plan
Continued from/Bl
ing pollutants inland could be
completed
It was that request that
prompted Friday's decision, said
Fazle Rab Quadri, the county's al-
ternate representative on the air
quality board
Dastrup said an apparent shift
in public opinion persuaded the
representatives not to tamper
with the offset trading system In
recent months, she said, residents
have made it clear they don't
want any increase in air pollution
in the San Bernardino Valley
The current rule allows a com-
pany that is expanding or starting
operations to buy offsets, which
are created when another pollut-
ing industry closes or installs
equipment that reduces its emis-
sions Those offsets can be bought
and sold like any other commodi-
ty, with one catch — there is a
substantial penalty for transport -
mg them over large distances
For example, a company that
purchases offsets from a firm five
miles away must buy 10 percent
more emission reduction credits
than it actually needs If the cred-
its are moved 25 miles or more,
the company must buy 50 percent
more credits than it needs The
rule is designed to allow a net re-
duction in total emissions in the
air basin each time the credits are
transferred, district spokesman
Ron Ketcham said
The proposed amendment
would have set up a flat rate for
offset trading, thus sharply cur-
tailing the distance penalty Iocal
officials belies ed was shortchang-
mg the Inland Empire of its fair
share of industry
But Coachella Valley officials
didn't want the rule altered to
permit more polluting industry in
the Inland Empire. In a letter sent
to the district, they said the
change would have a negative im-
pact on air quality in the desert
east of San Bernardino
Also, cities in Los Angeles
County and officials in the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency ar-
gued against the change because
reducing the penalty could have
an adverse impact on air quality
throughout the basin. _

Rules to grant waste -to -energy plant construction' permits ti'ghten'ed
By ANDREW YIORAIV �l/ /�!
The Daily Report l k
EL MONTE -- The South Coast Air
Quality Management Dish ict moved
to clean West Valley and Southern
Cabfoi nia skies Friday by tightening
the rules for granting construction
permits to waste-to-enerq plants
In the first of two important votes,
the AQMD board acted to require 18
proposed waste -to -energy projects
with applications pending at the dis-
ti ict to gather full pollution credits or
their equivalent before earning con-
sti uction poi inrts
Those applicants "must put togeth-
er an offset package that has the
equivalent effect of full offsets," said
James Lents, AQMD acting execu-
tive officer
"I recognize that's vague, but it's
vague to me," Lents said after the
meeting
"We're going to have to work up
some administrative guidelines on
what `equivalent' is," he added
All new manufacturers in the four -
county air basin must purchase cred-
its, or offsets, from existing firms
before AQMD will issue construction
permits
Firms earn credits by reducing
their pollution below permitted lev-
els.
A new company may then buy the
right to errut pollutants at a level
slightly below the credits, thus offset-
ting its own emissions while reducing
total pollution in the Southland
The AQMD boai d's action Friday
directly affects the two Spadra
projects proposed in Pomona by the
Los Angeles County Sanitation Dis-
trict and the controversial tare -burn -
mg plant proposed in Rialto by Garb
Oil Corp of Salt Lake City, Lents
said
A W D/from Huge 11 — -
who won a temporary reprieve from
the state legislature this week
Both San Bernardino County repre-
sentatives to the AQMD board, On -
tar io City Councilwoman Faye Myers
Dastrup and Fazle-Rab Qadri, a
county adriurustrative analyst who
sat in for 5th district county Supervi-
sor Robert Hammock, supported the
compromise
The compromise rule applies only
to those 18 projects that applied for
AQMD permits befor a Jan 1 of this
year, however The state legislature
passed a bill last year to close the
"good faith" exemption effective
Jan 1
As a result, waste -to -energy pro-
posals such as the garbage incinera-
tor and methanol burner pi opused at
the Milliken Iandfill in Ontario and
the cow manure burner planned in
Chino, are required to get full pollu-
tion credits, Lents said
They have no option of finding
offset equivalents, he explained
AQMD staff has identified at least
seven other suntlar projects in the
Southland that have yet to seek
district peanuts, according to Sanford
Weiss, AQMD senior engineer
The other rule change adopted
Friday altered the language of a
regulation to allow manufacturers to
moi a easily instill new pollution
controls on old equipment
Under a glitch in the district's old
ride, comp-inies were (list oitraged
from inwtalling such new contrril
equipment
Before Friday's rule change, a
loophole in state law required that
those projects only make a "good
faith effort" to acquire full offsets.
Now, they must obtain full offsets,
or make arrangements to alleviate'
their emissions by funding equivalent
offsets, Lents said after the meeting
This new rule is a compromise
between board members such as
Thomas Hemshelmer, mayor of Roll-
ing Heights Estates in Los Angeles
County, and Sabrina Schiller, a clean -
air activist from Pacific Palisades

(3) Chamber Installation dinner on October 25, (4) FY86-87 Budget -
Board of Directors projection that the Chamber's current u get will
lack $20,000 to accomplish anticipated goals Noted fund-raising
events anticipated for Terrace Days have been eliminated due to high
liability insurance, requested Council reconsider increasing Chamber's
appropriation by $10,000, which could possibly be cut later if other
funds are subsequently received. Councilwoman Pfennighausen clarified
Council did not reduce the Chamber's Grant for FY 1986/87, merely
allocated the same as in previous year
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt the Chamber is doing an excellent
job, however, noted many chambers receive little or no funding from
their cities. Mr TerBest responded that most cities pay for the cost
of city parades and, noting the extent of their involvement in
economic development, advised most cities have an economic development
organization Further noted they provide a newsletter
Councilman Petta commended Mr TerBest for his accomplishments as
President, was not prepared to authorize additional funding without
staffing, recommended, with Mayor Grant concurring, Staff provide
information relative to whether funds are available without
jeopardizing other projects
Councilwoman Pfennighausen noted her disappointment in last two

development aspect, recommended the Chamber provide Council with an

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Evans voiced objection to critical comments made by Colton
Joint Unified School District Superintendent Russell Dickinson in a
school enrollment related news article appearing in the August 24 San
Bernardino Sun (copy on file in City Clerk's Department), related the
article implied the City Council has been uncooperative in the school
impaction situation by (1) initially delaying imposing of fees and (2)
the recent fee waiver decision for the Senior Citizen Retirement Home
project, felt the City is being blamed for lack of planning by the
School District Recommended, if other Councilmembers concur, a
letter be transmitted from Council stating Council's position Mayor
Grant indicated concurrence
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson read an article appearing in the Colton Courier
stating Grand Terrace is lagging in Builders' Fees Agreed with the
article, felt the Council is not supportive - decisions to waive fees
should be left up to the School District
Councilwoman Pfennighausen advised that material she has assembled
dating back to 1979 does not substantiate school impaction existed,
feels schools are not being totally utilized and it is time Grand
Terrace Elementary School is relocated to a better location within the
City Will continue to support school impaction fee waivers in
particular situations where imposition thereof would be -inequitable
Councilman Petta noted that Council, during the last eight years, has
interacted and supported the School District and youth activities,
feels it everyone's responsibility to contribute to the School
District, and that school impaction fees should be imposed on all
residential projects
Councilman Evans understood the purpose of the school impaction fees
was to fund temporary classrooms, and those fees were to be imposed on
development projects having the potential of generating students
Referenced a 1981 report where the School District foresaw safety
problems for Grand Terrace Elementary School children due to increased
traffic, the Report also projected growth Felt it time to pressure
the School District to seek a future site within the City before it is
too late, resulting in relocating outside the city
Regarding a letter to be sent to the School District, Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson requested that his name not be included, felt that members in
support of that letter should personnally sign
CC-86-224 Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, that
a letter be prepared and transmitted to the School District responding
and stating Council's position regarding the August 4, 1986, Sun news
article relative to School Impaction Fees
Council Minutes - 8/28/86
Page 5 -
Motion No CC-86-224 carried, 3-2, with Mayor Pro Tem Matteson and
Councilman Petta voting NOE
Councilman Petta reported the following (1) Referring to verbatim
minutes o t e August 4, 1986, Planning Commission meeting, voiced
concern over a Councilmember statement that Council would no longer
accept linear strip parks, did not recall any such Council action,
felt Council should not interact at those meetings since the Planning
Commission is an independent group expected to make their own
decisions on matters, (2) Voiced concern about the debris on the Vista
Grande parcel at the north City entrance on Mt Vernon Felt it
should be cleaned and made into a minipark with grass and picnic
tables.
Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Mayor Grant, that Staff be
directed to clean that corner, plant grass, and making it
presentable (Subsequent to later discussion, it was concurred not to
include picnic tables )
Councilwoman Pfennighausen supported only cleaning up the area,
concurred it would be nice to have little parks throughout the City,
however, felt Staff's ability to maintain any more would be
overextended Feeling the City's Staff the most efficient, hardest
workers in the County, suggested Council take time to find out all
they do Felt Council must budget for additional staff if more
maintenance duties are added or hold the line. Noted efforts to
provide funding for developing a park for functional sports, requested
the community voice their preference
Councilwoman Pfennighausen further denied making a statement the
Council would not accept anymore park strips, advised the issue was
brought up in worksession, and she explained the maintenance problem
due to budget constraints Councilman Petta responded he merely read
from the verbatim minutes Regarding earlier comments on the
Wilderness Park, Councilwoman Pfennighausen advised the Parks &
Recreation Committee recommended against it at this time because of
the liability
Mayor Grant voiced support for the mini -park since that site is
located at a City entrance Concerned about the liability issue of
the Wilderness Park, but feels it is necessary to seriously consider
it for the community Regarding Councilmembers speaking before the
Planning Commission or any Committee, feels they have that right as a
citizen, therefore, will not make judgment - personally will not do so
on any issue upon which Council may subsequently take action
Councilman Evans concurred with cleaning the site but opposed planting
grass at this time due to budget constraints, feeling other areas are
more in need of beautification, specifically Barton Road Concurred
with Councilwoman Pfennighausen relative to overextending Staff
Councilman Petta noted there are sufficient funds from developer fees
to start development of the Edison leased park, and advised he is
Council Minutes - 8/28/86
Page 6 -
prepared to make a Motion to begin development as soon as the City
acquires it in January
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson questioned the cost for putting in the grass
Acting City Manager Schwab advised that would have to be determined
and brought to Council prior to making any appropriation
Councilman Petta's Motion failed, 2-3, with Mayor Pro Tem Matteson and
Councilmembers Pfennighausen and Evans voting NOE
Recessed at 7 22 p m and reconvened at 7 40 p m , with all members
present
Council Reports Continued
Mayor Pro Tem Matteson related receipt of his latest $150 water bill,
feels the water rate increase unfair and unjust and action should be
continued
Mayor Grant reported (1) Attendance at special LAFC work session
August , 1986, (2) Call from Reverend Hays relative to break in
water line on DeBerry reported to the Water Company, the problem was
finally repaired, however, felt response time should be accelerated
due to abundant water loss during the interim costing everyone money
REFUSE DISPOSAL SERVICE FRANCHISE PROPOSAL
Acting City Manager Schwab reviewed the Staff Report dated August 21,
1986, Subject Refuse Franchise Proposal (copy on file in the City
Clerk's Department), advised that Loma Linda Disposal submitted a
proposed franchise agreement between the City and the current four
refuse haulers - exclusive for residential service by Loma Linda
Disposal and non-exclusive for commercial service by Curran's
Disposal, Mark's Disposal and Jack's Disposal Noted Loma Linda
Disposal submitted a proposal for an exclusive franchise last January,
which Council rejected due to concern for lack of competition and
choice for commercial refuse service The four companies now want to
protect their business interests Staff feels the community would
be adequately served by these four companies, and the City would
benefit since the franchise would provide an additional source of
revenue, rate -setting authority, and keep heavy vehicle traffic on
City streets to a minimum Staff recommends a residential and
commerical disposal franchise, however, requests Council direction and
authorization prior to entering into negotiations in event Council
does not wish to consider the matter
Mayor Grant opened the meeting for public participation
Mr Robert Sliepka, President of Loma Linda Disposal, speaking in
support of the proposed franchise, cited the number of years the four
companies have serviced the community
Council Minutes - 8/28/86
Page 7 -
Mr Charles Schultz, 599 No Arrowhead, San Bernardino, Attorney with
the Law Firm of Reid & Hellyer representing NEWCO (National
Environmental Waste Company), noted NEWCO currently has a City
business license and opposes the exclusive franchise proposal, which
would prevent competition Noting Mr Sliepka's letter to the City
dated August 6, 1986, felt it proposes to carve the City into
boundaries, which poses a possible violation of antitrust legislation,
noted the present five firms servicing the City provide a competitive
process, cited the five-year phase out provisions of Health & Safety
Code 4272 and problems with rate -setting authority Felt, if
negotiations are entered into, bids should be open to other firms.
Mayor Grant closed the meeting to public participation.
Mr Schwab, responding to Mr. Schultz relative to violation of
antitrust, advised the proposal would not create boundaries for
various firms, the proposed agreement provides for non-performance,
giving the City a recourse if not satisfied with service. Noted it is
customary for a firm, in an attempt to expand its services, to reduce
its rates. Responding to Councilman Evans relative to why NEWCO was
not notified this matter was on the Agenda, Mr Schwab advised this
item addresses the proposal from the four firms, if Council authorizes
negotiations, a franchise ordinance would be prepared and a public
hearing advertised.
City Attorney Hopkins clarified the proposal at this point does not
contain enough specifics to imply any violation of antitrust
Favoring the proposed franchise due to its rate -setting authority and
revenue, Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson to direct Staff to
negotiate with Loma Linda Disposal, Curran's Disposal, Mark's
Disposal, and Jack's Disposal for a residential and commercial
disposal franchise, to be brought back to the Council for
consideration The Motion died for lack of a Second
Councilwoman Pfennighausen advised she questioned Staff and was
told the reason NEWCO was not notified was "not to create a war "
Feeling that reason not justified, she took the option of calling them
herself Noted at that time she did not have the current NEWCO
commercial rate schedule, which was later provided in a Memo from
Staff dated August 28, 1986 Being supportive of the free enterprise
system, noted she has consistently opposed exclusive franchises for
Loma Linda Disposal Councilman Evans, also supportive of free
enterprise, opposed an exclusive franchise due to eliminating
competition.
Mayor Grant and Councilman Petta both felt the Staff Report very
clear and merely provides information relative to a proposed
franchise, noted the purpose of being on the Agenda is to ascertain
Council's position prior to entering into negotiations Mayor Grant,
although understanding Staff's position, felt the matter controversial
and should be advertised to receive public input
Council Minutes - 8/28/86
Page 8 -
Joe Avakian, President, Jack's Disposal Company, noted commercial
service subsidizes residential service, allowing citizens to receive
lower residential rates Favors competition, noted the proposed
franchise involves four companies, therefore, is not exclusive Felt
the number of vehicles on city streets should be limited
Sam Cardelucci, owner of NEWCO, clarified Councilwoman Pfennighausen
did call his office, in turn, they notified Mr Schultz
CC 86-225 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Mayor Grant, ALL AYES,
that a Public Hearing be advertised and set for September 11, 1986,
relative to whether or not the City should let a franchise for a
residential and commercial refuse disposal service.
REQUEST FOR WAIVER. OF SITE & ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW FEES - EARL WOODRING
(Reference the July 25, 1986, Minutes - Public Participation, for
previous action on this matter)
Planning Director Kicak noted that Mr Woodring appeared before
Council at the July 25, 1986, meeting requesting waiver of the Site
and Architectural Review Fees, subsequently Staff was directed to
review and determine what fees, if any, should be charged. Review of
previous Site and Architectural Reviews showed varying costs from
$40 00 to over $1,000 00, with the average City cost at $643.23. This
matter was discussed with the Planning Commission, who felt the Title
18 Ad Hoc Committee should review this portion of the Ordinance and
recommend changes pertaining to individual projects subject to review
by the Planning Commission versus those that should be reviewed by the
Staff With respect to Mr Woodring's specific project, Staff
recommends Council waive fees for Architectural Review
CC-86-226 Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to
authorize Staff to issue a building permit on the approved plans
without any further architectural review or additional fees, other
than the necessary building plan check and inspection fees
Following Mr Woodring's statement that he was satisfied with above
action, Motion No CC-86-226 carried, ALL AYES
REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON OBSERVATION DRIVE, T J
AUSTYN, INC
Planning Director Kicak related T J Austyn's request to terminate
Observation Drive at Van Buren Street, in lieu of an extension of said
Observation Drive southerly to Main Street in accordance with the
General Plan, he outlined area on the map Related purpose of
Observation Drive, a collector, is to convey traffic north and south
to major and arterial streets within the City, noted use of the
proposed extension of Observation Drive will be minimal for the width
proposed and, as a result of nonuse, pavement will deteriorate Based
on the General Plan, it is felt there will be insufficient development
east of the line where Observation Drive is proposed to collect
Council Minutes - 8/28/86
Page 9 -
traffic Staff feels applicant's request justified and, therefore,
recommends the extension of Observation Drive be eliminated
Councilman Evans felt this should have been addressed prior to
adoption of the General Plan Update and that a General Plan Amendment
will be required, concerned about future traffic problems, questioned
possibility of requiring development of Observation Drive in event
area is built out in the future
Mr Kicak advised the Circulation Element should be amended to reflect
either the change to the location of Observation Drive to the existing
location of the canal or the California Aqueduct or, if eliminated,
the General Plan should be amended indicating the deletion of
Observation Drive from whatever point Council determines
Councilman Petta questioned whether the Developer would pay the
amendment costs, estimated to be $1,500 - $2,000 Bill Storm,
T J Austyn, voiced no objection to paying above fees if within that
range Councilman Petta questioned and Mr Kicak assured that the
Developer would be required to adequately take care of any drainage
problems, noting bonding would be required prior to final approval of
the Tract Map
Motion by Councilman Petta to approve the request to waive future
development of Observation Drive by T. J Austyn. The Motion died for
lack of a Second
Councilman Evans voiced reluctance to approving the waiver until the
General Plan Amendment is accomplished and all problems relating to
realignment of the street have been reviewed
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Evans, to deny
the request for waiver, failed, 2-3, with Mayor Grant and
Councilmembers Petta and Pfennighausen voting NOE.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, with Mayor Grant and Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson concurring, requested item be deferred to the next meeting to
allow time for additional review Mr Kicak advised additional
information would be provided including a preliminary plan prepared by
T J Austyn for the Observation Drive location required in City's
existing General Plan and its impact on adjacent properties Council
indicated concurrence

NO FUNDING REQUIRED xx
In 1984, Mr. Fitz of 11975 Rosedale Avenue signed a Lien Agreement, a
covenant running with the land to install the improvements along the
frontage of the sub3ect property.
Recently, he attempted to refinance sub3ect property. The lender requested
that the Lien Agreement be released, or be subordinate to the First Trust Deed.
In the City Attorney's opinion, a subordination of the Agreement would not
serve the purpose, and, therefore, Mr Fitz decided to replace the Agreement
with a cash deposit. A cash deposit in the amount of $1,200.00, estimated
costs of the improvements, has been made to secure the sub3ect improvements.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT

1) THE CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT THE $1,200 00 CASH DEPOSIT.
2) RELEASE THE LIEN AGREEMENT SECURING THE SUBJECT IMPROVEMENTS. n
3) Authorize City Clerk to Record Release of Lien Agreement

SUBJECT REFUSE FRANCHISE PUBLIC HEARING
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
At the City Council meeting of August 28, 1986 the staff
presented a proposal made on behalf of four refuse companies to
enter into a franchise agreement for refuse disposal.
Council directed staff to hold an advertised Public Hearing to
receive public input and testimony. This is a properly
advertised Public Hearing. In addition, all refuse haulers
currently holding a valid Grand Terrace business license received
written notification by mail.
Staff feels that if the current unfranchised refuse situation
continues there will be a deterioration of service as the
companies openly compete for business. Staff would like to
negotiate a franchise as proposed on the 28th meeting to prevent
a possible problem rather than react to the prob-lem when it
develops
For the reasons spelled out on the staff report of the 28th
meeting the staff feels that it would be in the best interest of
the community to issue a non-exclusive franchise as proposed
STAFF RECOMMENDS
1 COUNCIL CONDUCT THE ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING.
2 RECOGNIZING THE ADVANTAGES OF A FRANCHISE TO THE CITY,
FOR COUNCIL TO DIRECT STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A RESIDENTIAL
DISPOSAL AND COMMERCIAL DISPOSAL FRANCHISE AS PROPOSED
BY LOMA LINDA DISPOSAL ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER
