Minutes of November 7, 1983 Meeting
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM at the Red Carpet Realty
Conference Room by Secretary Hannah La ister. Those present were
Ann Petta, Irene Mason, Betty Duarte and Barbara Bayus.
The minutes of the October 10th meeting were read and accepted. Art
Thiede has been retired from the committee by the City Council thereby
leaving an opening for a new member. The minutes of the special meeting
of October 17th were read and approved. The minutes of the special
meeting of November 2nd were read and approved with the following
changes: Minutes should have read the 5th Birthday of the City, and
the paragraph concerning Barbara Mathews should have included "who
has tendered her resignation to the Council, pending Council approval."
The Treasurer's report (copy attached) was read and accepted. A discussion
was held about what to do with the monies the Committee makes such as at the
Country Fair. Our goal for the future will be to make a profit or become at
least self-supporting. A savings account was talked about as well as maybe
giving to a charitable organization. More about this at a later date.
The Country Fair was very sucessful and much of the community turned out.
The Committee wants to thank all the participants and those who helped out
as well as the judges and Master of Ceremonies. It was agreed that personal
contact should be made with the participants. Ann will call each one and ask
for their opinions and suggestions. Irene will write thank you notes. The
Committee composed anote for this purpose. A news release was also
composed to be put in the Press Enterprise, Sun, and Colton Courier.
City Birthday Pot Luck: Ann found out that brochures for the Pot Luck which
we were going to pass out to school children must be approved by the
Superintendent of Schools. This is being done and Ann and Irene will get
the brochures to all the schools as well as businesses. Council and
Committee members will also be called as well. The Committee will meet
at the school at 4:30 PM on Thursday, November 17th to start setting up
the food, tables, etc.
Theater on the Terrace: Ann talked to Linda Pue about the letter the
Committee wrote expressing our views on their by-laws. Their member-
ship has agreed to delete Section B - promoting community involvement,
etc. However, they do not want to change Section A, performing arts,
as they would like to become involved in other projects, but they are going
to discuss this further and try to find another phrase to fit. They will
stay in contact with the committee.
It was agreed to pospone discussion of a new chairman until after the
Council meeting this Thursday.�s� 1

C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1983
AGENDA ITEM NO. —
SUBJECT: COVERA
WRING HOLIDAY SEASON
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The subject of having half of the City employees work during scheduled holidays
before and after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year was discussed during the
October 27, 1983 Council Meeting.
The above holidays were included in the Employee Rules and Regulations as approved
by Council for the purpose of giving the employees as much time as possible off
during the Holiday Season. This, of course, is at the expense of not taking
other holidays such as Washington's, Lincoln's, Admission Day, etc.
It also has been the Staff's experience that very few citizens come into City
Hall during the Holiday Season.
The Holiday Season is also the time that many employees like to use additional
vacation or compensatory time to be with their visiting family or friends.
The result is with the spirit of the Holiday Season and reduced staff very little
constructive work is accomplished. Industry has found it to be so unproductive
a time that many production plants are closed during the entire Thanksgiving and
Christmas/New Year weeks.
A considerable amount of Grand Terrace employee's compensatory time and vacation
time is used during this slow period that would otherwise be used during normal
or peak busy times.
Staff is convinced it makes good business sense to allow as many employees off
during this period as possible. It also makes sense to use up the maximum amount
of holidays and compensatory time.
The staff has a recorder on 824-6621, the City Manager's Department phone, that tells
a citizen to call the fire department, etc. in case of an emergency. The attached
Holiday Duty Roster of City employees will be in the hands of the Fire Department
in case a responsible City employee is needed.
Staff recommends that the Council:

C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: November 17, 1983
AGENDA ITEM NO. Z0 4
SUBJECT: WEEKEND PARK MAINTENANCE
November
S* .
Staff has been directed to investigate the feasibility of hiring a contractor to
perform weekend maintenance at the Terrace Hills Community Park. There is no
doubt that by having personnel performing weekend maintenance, vandalism has been
kept very low. When speaking of vandalism, the costs, in terms of image of the
City by the community residents, and actual monetary costs, play an important
part in developing the right strategy for dealing with the problem. Having
personnel available for weekend maintenance will provide for immediate attention
to damage at the parksite. Quick repairs keep perpetrators from admiring their
handiwork, retards the epidemic effect of vandalism, and minimizes any social
impact the act may have. There is no question that park facilities need to be
maintained, attractive, and in proper working order. The appearance of our park
to the public, reflects how the City of Grand Terrace cares about the facility
and its users. Improperly maintained facilities are an invitation to further
damage from discouraged users. It has been evidenced here in Grand Terrace,
that replacing or repairing vandalism as quickly as it occurs, has been an
effective strategy for controlling the problem. It has been observed that by
keeping the park looking nice, it tends to stay that way. Staff feels that
the idea of providing weekend maintenance would prove to be beneficial to the
City, and that a fee of $50.00 per weekend would be a fair and reasonable rate
to pay. It is anticipated that the maintenance program, if approved, would
cost approximately $2,000.00. This would cover up to the conclusion of the
current fiscal year. Funds would be paid out of the Community Services Line
Item "Maintenance of Buildings and Grounds". Funds are currently available,
and would not require additional appropriation.
Staff Recommends that the Council:
A. AUTHORIZE CITY STAFF TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF A PRIVATE VENDOR TO PERFORM
WEEKEND PARK MAINTENANCE, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES
DIRECTOR:
B. DIRECT STAFF TO RETAIN THIS VENDOR AS A CONTRACT EMPLOYEE, AND BE PAID
FROM THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTAL LINE ITEM "MAINTENANCE OF
BUILDING AND GROUNDS".

COUNCIL AGENDA Mod 19
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE _
ESTABLISHMENT OF A LONG-TERM LOCAL GOVERNMENT
FINANCING PROGRAM AND STATING ITS POSITION ON THE
GOVERNOR'S TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS.
WHEREAS, legislative decisions during the past several years have
created a great deal of uncertainty from year to year concerning local
government revenues;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace does
hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. That the State Legislature establish a program for
long-term permanent financing for local governments.
Y SECTION 2. That Local Sales and Use Tax should not be distributed on
the basis of population, since this could place all cities in the same
category. Cities that work toward establishing and supporting commercial and
industrial businesses should reap the benefit of their efforts;
SECTION 3. Its support in principle of the recommendations in the
interim report of the Governor's new Partnership Task Force relating to a
stable financing source for city and county government, with the following
exceptions, and recommendation that the Task Force continue to review program
realignments:
a. Opposes maintaining the existing tax base. Recommend
establishing FY 1978-79, to be adjusted according to the prevailing inflation
rates;
b. Opposes a county -wide tippler's tax for county services. The
tippler's tax was initially levied by a city and was struck down as
inconsistent with State law. City law enforcement needs are great and such
that a new local revenue source should be shared by cities and counties;
c. Opposes granting the authority for "no -property tax" cities to
share in future property tax growth within each city.
SECTION 4. That appropriate copies of this Resolution be furnished to
both the Assembly and the S te Local Government Committees.
ADOPTED this 17th day of November, 1983.

RE: LONG-TERM: LOCAL GOVERN,','ENT FINANCING IN 1984. INTERIM HEARINGS. LEAGUE
STRATEGY AND POSITION.
Prospects For Lone -Term Financing Legislation in 1984 Appear Favorable.
The California Legislature is like virtually any other political body -- it can
only deal with a limited number of complicated and politically sensitive issues
at one time. What this generally means is that the Legislature can address just
a small number of major statewide issues of public policy each year and must post-
pone other issues for future sessions tTor more than five vears r, w I ca
Government f i nan; i nr has peen delay j'f l one po ?ned, and put o=f as too
di`'iGult to solve. r. rapidly Growing consensus amona legislators and puulic
officials throughout the state, however, points to the 1984 legislative session
as the year for permanent local government financing.
We agree with this assessment. We believe that most legislators have grown as
tired of the annual budget lobbying trips by local officials as local officials
themselves. The irrationality of the present system is obvious and we think
that a concerted public campaign by city and county officials will result in
long-term financing being adopted in 1984. In an effort to prepare for 1984
and to lay a solid foundation of public awareness and legislative lobbying, we
hope you will circulate this memo widely throughout city hall and will assist
the League and your fellow city officials in this effort.
Governor's New Partnership Task Force on State and Local Government Has Issued
A Very Constructive Interim Report.
This well -publicized Task Force has been meeting with its local government mem-
bers for several months now and has recently issued an interim report. The Task
Force was created by an Executive Order early in 1983 and represents a major
commitment by the Administration to establish permanent fiscal relationships
between state and local governments.
You will recall that in August of this year, a number of legislators proposed
various options for a permanent local goverrment financing system. All were
rejected by the Administration on the basis that this Task Force was already
underway and deserved to be given time to develop its own proposals. For that

Kirkwood, Council Member, City of t•;oodside; and Fred Davis, City -P' nager of
Chico.
The interim recommendations of the Task Force are SUmmari7ed as follows:
Local Government Fiscal Relief.
1. Permanently repeal the AB 6 deflator.
2. Remove the subvention reduction formula from statute.
Stable Revenue Source
1. The existing tax base is to be maint-ained.
2. The specified revenue source to local government must be guaranteed
by a constitutional amendment.
3. The specified revenue source should be protected by statute until a
constitutional guarantee can be approved by the voters.
4. The shift of a portion of the existing state sales tax to replace
subventions is the option preferred by the Task Force.
5. The guarantee of subventions is an acceptable alternative.
6. The shift of a portion of the existing state sales tax to counties
to fund new program responsibilities is recommended and is discussed
later in this report.
Proaram Realignment
!, Program shift to counties should be implemented within certain health
and welfare areas.
2. A portion of the existing state sales tax should be shifted to
counties to fund transferred program responsibilities.
3. Counties should take over full funding and operation of the capitated
programs.
4. It is the intent of the Task Force to further review the funding and
administration of AFDC programs.
County Revenue Raisina Authority
1. Give counties charter authority over county affairs.
2. Additionally, give counties the authority to impose tipplers' tax.
Special Districts
1. Independent special districts should be provided with a guaranteed
amount from the Special District Augmentation Fund.
t;o-Property Tax Cities
1. Give no -property tar cities the option to share in property tax
rf.,venuec .
2. Allov. nc-;ro;,�:rtti tar �iti� tr. peti'ior,a3tr,cies for a i,or ion
1. P I ace a co 4 1 T 1.- i on I ar.,:,;d^ e: + or. the t,� I I of c I I ow i n_ voters to
approve general otlication fonds with a two-thirds vote.
State Mandates
1. Require reimbursement of the cost of a new mandate, mandates which
are not funded would become permissive.
The full interim report of the Task Force, dated October 1983, has been mailed
to all cities along with copies of the League's final adopted resolutions from
the 1983 League Annual Conference. It should be pointed out that the Task Force
recommendations have not been formally endorsed by the Administration. This
was done deliberately so that the Legislature, in interim hearings this fall,
co::id address the recommendations of the Task Force without the partisan polifii-
Cal complications of an Administration endorsement. The legislative hearings
are designed to stimulate genuine dialogue and not partisan maneuvering. The
Administration is committed to testifying at each of the interim legislative
hearings and to utilize information gathered at the hearings in a series of
meetings between the Administration and legislative leaders to attempt to agree
to a comprehensive and bipartisan long-term solution to local government funding.
Unlike many interim hearings, these are designed to produce substantive legisla-
tion in January. We must therefore stress the importance of these hearings and
particularly the need to generate public awareness in support of a long -Term
local government financing scheme.

ougnt to encourage as many legislators as pos,ibie to attend. Even though
only a smull number of legislators may be actually present, the hearings
serve an extremely worthwhile purpose because they draw media attention to the
sult-Iject, result in the publication of a hearing record which legislators
review, and commonly result in introduction of legislation when the regular
session commences.
The League's overall strateny in anoroachinq these hearinos is to build a
broad foundation of community suDDort for a successful 10.04 campaion to adoet
lone -term finance legislation. Therefore, a long line of only traditional
city witnesses Mayors and Council Members) will not be our priority. Instead,
we are asking you to help us develop a community coalition of support for
adequate local government financing. This means enlisting not only elected
city officials to participate, but also police and fire chiefs, business and
co --unity representatives (local chamber of commerce, board of realtors, local
taxpayers association) and of course employee organization representatives.
Specifically, at each hearing we are assisting the Committee staff in scheduling
wiTnesses from at least four segments of the community:
(1) Elected city officials to present the League position on long-term
finance;
(2) A police chief or fire chief to address the Committee on how public
safety services have survived'the last five and a half years and the
needs of these services for adequate and stable funding;
(3) Representatives of the business community to speak to the need for local
economic growth, which in turn depends on adequate long-term financing,
local public works, and infrastructure;
(4) Public employee union representatives, speaking to the need for adequate
compensation to retain qualified public employees.
All city officials are welcome and encouraged to address each committee hearing.
We suggest, of course, brevity and avoidance of any duplicating testimony. The
Committee always appreciates witnesses who speak without reading testimony and
who submit written testimony to the Committee.
What Each City Should Do Next
y Fir>t, we ask each city to supply both the Assembly and the Senate
" Local Government Committees with their own state5ent or resolution
*
* calling for long-term and perrianent financing. Secondly, we encourage
" the greatest possible attendance by city officials at each of these
" hearings. Because one of our objectives is to make each hearing a
* media event, it is important that local government officials express
" Ifir ir intensity of feeling by a IargE turnout. The League will co-

The following is an outline of the League's p-sition statement. The actual state-
ment, which will be presented to each of the six legislative hearings, will be
more detailed and will address a variety of subordinate issues.
(1) The League endorses the New Partnership Task Force recommendations, as they
apply to cities, with only a single disagreement (see Item 5 below).
(2) Long-term local government financing is the League's top priority in 1984.
The League is committed to work with the Legislature, the Administra-
tion, the Governor's New Partnership Task Force, allied associations
and the media to establish independent long-term financing in 1984.
If long-term financing cannot be accomplished in the Legislature in
1984, then the League would support a constitutional amendment providing
for long-term relief.
(3) Local government fiscal relief.
The League supports repeal of the AB 8 deflator and removal of all
subvention reduction formulas from the statutes (Task Force Recommenda-
tion). Without these changes, no financing plan would be long-term
or permanent.
(4) Stable revenue source.
a. The League's first choice is to exchange state subventions at the 1983-
84 entitlement level (before reductions) for an equivalent share of the
state sales tax (Task Force recommendation).
b. This new and additional share of the state sales tax should be distri-
buted on the basis of population but would hold harmless each city
in order to assure that each local government would receive at least
as much as the agency lost when subventions were transferred to the
state (Task Force recommendation).
c. Growth in tnis additional share of the sales tax should equal the
statewide growth of the sales tax (Task Force recommendation).
d. By 1986 such an exchange of subventions for sales tax should be
guaranteed by a constitutional provision (Task Force recommendation).
e. The League's second choice is a constitutional guarantee of current
subventions as proposed by MCA 2: m
(Ayala) (Task Force recommendation).
f. The existing local tar base must be maintained and protected, especially
the local sales and property tax and the authority of cities to levy a
variety of other local taxes.
(5) C�junty revenue raising authority.

source should be shared by ciTie: and counTies. Discussions to resolve
this disagreemenT beTween cities and counties should not take place
without also discussing other city -county fiscal disputes, including
annexation property tax exchange agreements, redevelopment -'pass -through
agreements and property tax overrides for voted pension debt.
(6) "No property tax" cities
The League supports granting the authority for "no property tax"
cities to share in future property tax growth within each city. When
property tax revenue authority applies to future growth within the no -
property tax city, property tax revenues to neighboring cities are
not affected. (Task Force recommendation)
(7) General obligation bond authority
The League supports placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot
allowing voters to authorize local general obligation bonds by a
two-thirds vote (Task Force recommendation).
(8) State mandates
The League supports a new constitutional requirement that all state -
mandated costs be reimbursed and that if such mandated costs are not
funded, the mandate would immediately become optional (Task Force
recommendation).
