Minutes of November 17, 1983, as presented.
Mr. Nix, referencing page 3, felt the gist of the discussion was
well presented; however, felt there is too much generalization and
it would more appropriate, in the future, to identify those
individuals questioning items or expressing concerns or interest,
since that information is part of the record. In the last
paragraph, found it difficult to follow the subject because of the
many clauses.

AGENDA ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: MARKET DEMAND STUDY OF GRAND TERRACE 1983-84 MORTGAGE REVENUE BOND ISSUE
Background: A meeting was held with Grand Terrace housing developers (Griffin
Homes, Pacesetter, Coast Construction), Miller and Schroeder,
Underwriters; Brown and Nazarek, Bond Counsel; Standard & Poor's Corporation; City
Manager, Finance Officer, and Mr. Joseph Janczyk of Empire Economics for the purpose
of discussing a refinancing of the original SB 99 bond issue. The developers
decided a new issue should be pursued prior to cut off date of January 1, 1984.
This issue would require a feasibility study by Empire Economics, underwriting by
Miller and Schroeder, and rating by Standard & Poor's as soon as possible. Again,
the developers decided to pursue the new bond issue. Due to the short time frame to
pursue the new issue, a feasibility study had to be completed, a Standard & Poor's
rating conducted, resolution approving Joint Powers agreement, resolution
designating Special Counsel, Special Counsel agreement, Joint Powers agreement and
agreement from the major developer indemnifying the agency for the costs of
participation in the issue, specifically:
1. The market demand study by Empire Economics for $8,000;
2. Site visit and rating analysis by Standard & Poor's for $12,000; and
3. Bond Counsel costs and any other items relative to performance of the bond
issue to include Grand Terrace's reimbursement to the Agency (see attached
letter from Griffin Homes and CRA Agenda Items No. 3A - 3E on mortgage revenue
bond 1983).
Staff recommends that the Agency:
A. ACCEPT MARKET DEMAND STUDY FOR GRAND TERRACE 1983 SERIES A MORTGAGE REVENUE
BOND ISSUE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GRIFFIN HOMES WILL INDEMNIFY THE AGENCY
FOR THE COSTS BASED ON THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE ISSUE FOR MARKET STUDY BY
EMPIRE ECONOMICS $8,000, RATING ANALYSIS BY STANDARD & POOR'S $12,000, AND
COSTS FOR BROWN & NAZAREK'S LEGAL COUNSEL AND ANY OTHER COST FOR THE ISSUE.
B. APPROVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN EMPIRE ECONOMICS MARKET DEMAND STUDY, AND
C. AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY PURSUANT TO
THE ABOVE INDEMNIFICATION BY THE DEVELOPERS.

Re: Market Demand Study for Grand Terrace's
1983 Mortgage Revenue Bond Issue
Dear Mr. Armstead:
Kk 1,F IV EL
ULL: r;
1 I Y Ur GRANDTERRACF
We want to first congratulate you on pursuing a mortgage revenue
bond program. Our analysis of the economic impacts of these
programs has revealed that not only do they typically provide
prospective purchasers with "affordable" interest rates, but they
also generate substantial employment opportunities for local
residents as well, both in the construction as well as the retail
sectors.
Purpose
This letter will serve as a proposal, and upon execution, an
Agreement regarding the Market Demand Study for Grand Terrace's
1983 Mortgage Revenue Bond Issue. Accordingly, this Agreement
will provide you with a description of the research that will be
conducted, along with the performance schedule and financial
considerations for the study.
Background
Empire Economics specializes in performing market demand studies
for residential, commercial and industrial projects located
throughout the Southern California region, in general, and San
Bernardino -Riverside counties, in particular. Recently, we
conducted market demand studies for mortgage revenue bond issues
for San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Ontario, Rancho
Cucamonga and Montclair, as well as market demand studies for
improvement bonds for the cities of Ontario and Corona.

Dear Seth:
It is our understanding that the agency will be incurring certain costs
to process the single family residential mortgage revenue bond issue of
1983. As we had indicated, Griffin Homes will indemnify the agency for
our prorated share of these costs based on our participation in the issue.
To date, there have been two items of cost identified as follows: Item
1, market demand study by Empire Economics, $8,000; Item 2, site visit
and rating analysis by Standard and Poors, maximum budget, $12,000.
It is our intent to make payment for these items at the time we deposit
the cash and/or Letter of Credit for the points required to complete the
financing. However, if the financing should fail to result in the sale and
delivery of bonds, we will pay such costs at the time of such abandonment.
We look forward to providing Grand Terrace with many more Griffin
homes.

A Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace was called to

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE/IMPROVED FREEWAY ACCESS FEASIBILITY
STUDY/REDEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY REPORT.
Council discussed the Joint Public Workshop Session, set by the
Community Redevelopment Agency for December 8, relative to whether or
not the Consultants should be present.
John McDowell, the Planning Commission Vice -Chairman, urged expediting
the completion of the General Plan Update. Stated the Planning
Commission will be prepared for the Joint Session.
Following further discussion, the Council requested that the December
8 Joint Public Workshop Session include all consultants. City
Manager Armstead requested Council to submit guidance and questions
to Staff.
ITEM DELETED FROM AGENDA - 6A - City Flag
Council questioned this item being placed on the Agenda, feeling it is
a settled issue. The City Manager stated the Historical & Cultural
Activities Committee requested further Council consideration; however,
needed time for the Committee to review it further.

RESOLUTION NO. 83-60 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TERRACE,GRAND A ORNIA, ESTABLISHING A "NO PARKING" ZONE ALONG THE
FRONTAGE OF TRACT 11135.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen objected to this item being placed on the
Consent Calendar. Noted she has previously expressed concerns and will
continue to express concern over red -lining curbs. Felt the reason
for this request is due to Cape Terrace's security gate, which
continually malfunctions creating a traffic hazard and, rather than
having them correct their problem, Staff is requesting more red curbs.
Councilman Nix concurred with Councilwoman Pfennighausen's concerns
about this item, as requested. Felt there would be no parking on Mt.
Vernon Avenue if this applied to all driveways. Reminded Staff that
the previously approved no -parking zone at the Community Center, where
new curbing was installed, has never been painted red.
Councilman Petta noted the request affects only two driveways in a
high -density area serving 98 units, over 200 people living on a
10-acre parcel. Advised that the County Sheriff's Department reviewed
the condition and they concurred with the Homeowner's Association
request. Councilman Petta, with concurrence of Councilmen Rigley and
Nix, felt the security gates and the visibility hazard created by the
parked cars are two different issues, since the parked cars would
still block the view of vehicles exiting the driveways even if the
gates remained open.
Captain Jim Bradford, County Sheriff's Department, concurred with
Councilman Petta. Appreciates the concerns of red curbing, but feels
this area presents a definite safety problem.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated she feels the two problems are
related because, with cars parked at the curb when the gate
malfunctions, which happens repeatedly, there is a full line of
traffic waiting in the right-hand lane, and other traffic has to go
around. If the that line of traffic could pull farther to the right,
it would keep free -flowing traffic in two lanes. Stated this hazard
was never seen as a problem until she brought the gate matter before
Council. Questioned whether the Planning Commission considered this
safety hazard at the time it approved the plans for that development.
City Attorney Hopkins responded it obviously had not or it would have
been a condition of approval.
CC-83-334 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, to approve
Staff's recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 83-60, which eliminates
parking 20 feet on each side of the two driveways to Cape Terrace,
12168 Mt. Vernon.
Councilman Rigley didn't recal cars parked in that area. Councilman
Nix noted the Staff Report sketch shows the area proposed to be
painted red as 65 and 66 feet. The City Engineer clarified those
numbers reference the beginning and ending points; the sketch

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS COMMITTEE - Tom Coyle, Administrative Assistant,
advised the Committee condu a field trip to Riverside and will be
discussing it at its next meeting.
Following her suggestion that no limit be placed on the number of
CC-83-337 committee members where individuals are willing to serve, Motion by
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant, to approve creating
two additional openings on the Emergency Operations Committee.
Following discussion, the Motion carried, ALL AYES.
POLICE CHIEF REPORT - Captain Jim Bradford, San Bernardino Sheriff's
epartment, reported on the increase in robberies and burglaries with
the oncoming Christmas season. Advised of the various tactics used
and some precautionary measures to take to discourage burglaries.
FIRE CHIEF REPORT - City Manager Armstead reported that Councilman
Petta, Ernie Zampese, San Bernardino County personnel, and he met that
day; the County agreed to purchase the metal building at its stated
price and Mr. Zampese will clean up the lot. Mayor Grant thanked Mr.
Armstead and Councilman Petta for their efforts in resolving this
situation.
CITY MANAGER REPORT - Finance/Administrative Officer Clark reported on
a Christmas dinner planned for December 11, 1983. Employees, Council,
Planning Commission, Committies, and contracted staff, as well as
families, have been invited.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Nix reported on his tour of an aerospace facility near the
Los Ange es Airport. He was impressed with the facility, which
averaged $110 per square foot; however, didn't realize the commercial
sense until he was advised that in two years the employee retention
alone in that critical labor market of high technology is expected to
more than pay for the cost. Stated he now feels better about
Council's action for the proposed Civic Center knowing that class and
aesthetics can make commercial sense and $110 per square foot is not
unique to Grand Terrace.
Councilman Petta reported that a citizen undertaking an excavation
project questioned him why it takes 24 months to have her security
deposit of $500 returned. He cited sections of the City's Excavation
Ordinance relative to Excavation Permits Fees and Inspection Deposit
and Costs. Felt it unfair for the City to retain the deposit that
long when that person is paying for the inspection cost; questioned
whether the City also retains funds from developers.
Mayor Grant left the chambers at 7:02 p.m.
City Attorney Hopkins stated the City had two options: (1) Pay the
repair of any failure; or (2) retain a security deposit anticipated
sufficient to guarantee cost of any repair failure for a two year

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 F
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 14, 1983
SUBJECT: SEWER SERVICES COLLECTION CHARGES FOR DELINQUENT PAYMENT
In order to meet the administrative cost of collection, a collection fee of $15 has
been established for a sewer user delinquent in payment. A delinquent is one who
has missed three payments and has gone six months without payment. Experience shows
that certain residents have a history of delinquency, appearing on multiple
delinquency lists. Staff is recommending these users be charged a delinquent fee of
$25.
Resolution Nos. 81-13 and 81-48 established fees for City's ordinances providing for
collection of sewer user charges, delinquent charges, and penalties. The proposed
Resolution would rescind those resolutions and incorporate them into one resolution
with the inclusion of the above recommended collection charge.
Staff recommends that the Council:
ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NOS. 81-1 AND 81-48 AND
ESTABLISHING FEES FOR SEWER SERVICE AND THE DELINQUENT CHARGES AND PENALTIES FOR
NON-PAYMENT THEREOF, PURSUANT TO THE CITY'S ORDINANCES ESTABLISHING PROVISIONS

REQUEST: Mr. Irwin Jaeger, owner of Grand Terrace
Professional Plaza, at 22365 Barton Road is
requesting a variance from the requirements
for the construction of a monument sign at
22365 Barton Road.
STAFF ANALYSIS: Mr. Jaeger originally applied to the Planning
Director for a sign permit to construct a monu-
ment sign at the entrance to the office building
at 22365 Barton Road. A sign plan and plot plan
showing the proposed sign location are attached.
Subsequently, after a careful review of Section
23.210 C of Chapter 23 "Signs" of Ordinance 57,
the Zone Ordinance for the City of Grand Terrace,
the Planning Director denied the request for the
sign as proposed. (Denial letter attached.) The
requirement for business identification signs
involving multiple professional tenants is given
below.

to listing the tenants name and suite number.
A comparison of the proposed sign and the requirements of section 23.210 C yield the
following results.

The Planning Commission may grant a variance under Chapter 24 "Variances," of the
Zone Ordinance by making the following findings:
A. The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the
property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical
zoning classification. Any variance shall be conditioned, if necessary, to prevent
the granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classifications, and;
B. The proposed variance will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan, and;
C. The proposed variance does not allow any land use which is not in conformity with
the use regulations specified for the district in which the land is located, and;
D. Conditions necessary to secure the purposes of this Section, including guarantees
and evidence of compliance with conditions, are made part of the variance approval.

RE: Denial of Application for Sign Permit at 22365
Barton Rd, Grand Terrace
Dear Mr. Kicak:
Thank you for your letter of October 21, 1983.
It is my opinion that the placement of the monument
sign, as detailed in our original application, would
in no way be deterimental to the public interest, nor
display favoritism with respect to other sign users.
My essential point is that the size of the building
requires a sign of these dimensions, both to provide
tenant visibility and to be in proportion with the
structure. One of the minor but significant consid-
erations for many tenants is that they can be located
from the roadway, both by those who are seeking the
tenants and by those who might be in the future. As
to proportion, I will leave this matter of scale to
the esthetics of each reviewer.
For anyone who might comment that the building itself
could stand as its own signage, I would add that we
believe our extensive plantings will greatly reduce
such visibility in the near future.

RE: Application for a Sign Permit at 22365 Barton Road, Grand Terrace
Dear Mr. Jaeger:
This letter constitutes denial of your application, submitted October 20,
1983, for a sign permit at 22365 Barton Road. Chapter 23, of Grand
Terrace Ordinance Number 57 "Zone Ordinance," states the requirement for
signs in the C-2 zone.
"An application for variance from the strict application of the
terms of this title may be made in writing by owners of the property,
or lessee, purchaser in escrow. The application shall be accompanied
by:
" A. Twenty (20) sets of a plot plan drawn to scale, showing the
location of the property, boundaries and improvements proposed, all
dimensioned;
"B. Fee established by the City Council by resolution;
"C. A plan of the details of the variance requested and evidence
showing that all of the following conditions apply:
11(1) That any variance granted shall be subject to such
conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby
authorized shall not constitute a grant of special
privilege incosistent with the limitations upon
other properties in the vicinity and district in
which the subject property is situated;
"(2) That because of special circumstances applicable to
subject property, including size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings, the strict application of
this title is found to deprive subject property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity
and identical zone classification.

SUBJECT: Planning Commission Determination of Use - Appeal
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 22, Ordinance 57 the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Grand Terrace, the Planning Commision was
requested to make a determination of use in C-2/CPD for miniwarehouses.
This matter was presented to the Planning Commission at their regular
meeting of December 5, 1983.
A copy of the staff report presented to the Planning Commisson is attached
hereto. After deliberation the Planning Commisson did on December 5, 1983
make a determination that miniwarehouses are an allowable use within
C-2/CPD Zone. The code requires that the City Council be notified within
15 days of such determination by the Planning Commission. In addition the
code provides for a right to appeal determination of the Planning
Commission.
On December 9, 1983 we received a letter from a resident appealing the
determination of the Planning Commission. Therefore, a public hearing on
this matter needs to be scheduled.
Staff recommends that:
THE CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING ON PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINATION FOR JANUARY 12, 1984.

Dear Mayor Grant, City Manager and Planning Director:
I wish to appeal to the CITY COUNCIL an action by the
PLANNING C01/211ISSION at their regular meeting of Dec. 5, 1983
regarding the determination of use in C-2-CPD
At that meeting the PLANNING COMMISSION determined
that MINI-;'JAREHOUSES are permitted use in that ZONE, subject
to CONDITIC.VAL USE PERMIT.
I feel that permitting such use in C-2 ZONE is contrary
to good city planning and detrimental to future potential per-
mitted use in that ZONE.
I feel that MINI-17AREHOUSES should only permitted in
M-ZONE witha CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
I am requesting that CITY COU14CIL place a moratorium
on this until a public hearing on this matter can be held after
the General Plan has been heard and approved.

Dear Mr. Kicak,
I would like to take this time to thank you and Tim Serlet
for meeting with Dan Fitzpatrick, Dennis Cardoza and myself
earlier today regarding the development of the Commercial
Way property.
Pursuant to our discussions we would like to ask for a
formal determination as to the allowability of developing a
portion of the property in the C-2 zone for a miniwarehouse
complex. Also, we would like to know the extent of
improvements required if we develop only a part of the
overall property, let us say, only two of the three
parcels.
The contemplated use and development of the property at
this time hinges on the feasibility of developing a
miniwarehouse to carry the property until a later
contemplated commercial development. This use would allow
us to generate immediate cash flow from the property, a
matter which of course would generate immediate revenues
for the city as well.

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M.
The minutes for the meeting of September 13, 1983 were read and approved.
Susan Crawford's application for Committee membership was unanimously
approved. The City Attorney, Ivan Hopkins advised that 11s. Crawford's
appointment would pose no conflict of interests problem.
Harold Larkins' "Proposal for Police Services" is under consideration by
the Committee. This proposal is still under review and the Committee is
awaiting further inputs at its next meeting.
The Committee voted to set up an information and recruiting table at the
Old Fashion Fair on November 5, 1983. Committee members will provide
coverage from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.
The Committee also voted to recommend to City Council that the voting
membership of the Committee be reduced from 10 members to 5 members and
2 alternates. The present Committee voting membership is 5 members and
this is insufficient to constitute a quorum of six needed to conduct business

Minutes of the November 7 meeting were read and approved.
Joe announced that Susan was appointed a member to this committee as of
the last council meeting on November 10. She is filling a vacancy which
expires June 30, 1984.
Jim Hodder moved that Susan's analysis of Mr. Larkin's proposal be sent
to City Council with a recommendation that Grand Terracy not acquire its
own Police Department since we can find no evidence that indicates services
of the caliber currently provided by the Sheriff's Department could be
realized for the same cost. The motion was seconded by Joe Ramos and
passed.
Deputy Bill Thurlow briefed the committee on the latest programs and
services available from the Sheriff's Department. He will provide a
list of these services to the committee. Bill also said he needs
approximately 2 weeks lead time for scheduling programs.
Susan has contacted 4 of the 6 people who had signed up for Neighborhood
Watch presentations, and all of these people will plan for holding their
programs after the holidays.
We obtained a renewal request from the "WE TIP" organization. The amount
for our size of city would be $1,000.00.
Joe read a letter from Mr. David Driskill who held a Neighborhood Watch
meeting given by Bill Thurlow on October 27th. His group would like a
Neighborhood Watch sign at the end of Flamingo. Jim will contact Randy
and see how many signs we have. Randy also gave the committee a map on
which to denote sign locations. This will be done at the next meeting.

SUBJECT: Community Center Restrooms Contract Award GTB 83-06-01
De
12.256
Sometime ago, the City Council authorized calling for bids for the rest -
rooms at the Community Center. The first time we requested bids, we only
received one proposal and it was considerably in access of the Engineer's
estimate of $14,500. The City Council authorized rebidding and on December 5,
four bids were received for this project.
The following is the result of the bids:
Harris & Pearce, General Contractors, La Habra, CA $15,200.00
Steve Pandza Construction, Norco, CA 15,750.00
R & R General Contractors, Chino, CA 17,717.90
Stanley E. Nelson, Contractors, San Bernardino, CA 17,837.00
The two low bidders, specifically Harris & Pearce and Pandza Construction,
did not fully comply in filling out the bid documents. In one case, Harris
& Pearce, the contractor neglected to put in unit prices on those items where
quantity was greater than one. However, in our discussion with the contractor,
he said that the line item amount is the total amount, regardless of the
quantities required. And further, that he would furnish us the unit prices
from the spread sheet which would indicate the unit cost and these would not
exceed the total line item costs.
In the case of the second contractor, Pandza Construction, he provided us
with unit prices, however, an error in the extension of the unit prices
and an error in addition indicate that the total contract price was higher
than that of Harris & Pearce and that which he thought he was submitting.
In our discussion with the City Attorney, he advises that the award to Harris
& Pearce would be appropriate, subject to the conditions stated above.
Staff recommends that the City Council:
AWARD THE CONTRACT TO HARRIS & PEARCE CONTRACTORS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$15,200, SUBJECT TO RECEIVING THE INFORMATION DESCRIBED ABOVE AND THE
APPROVAL OF THE AWARD BY THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM ( X) MEETING DATE: December 14, 1983
AGENDA ITEM .NO. _�y
SUBJECT: Request from Dale Chilson, 22442 Pico St., Grand Terrace
Attached you will find a request received in this office on December 7,
1983, from Dale Chilson at 22442 Pico Street to waive the provisions of
Ordinance 44, requiring improvements, to include curb, gutter, sidewalk and
paving, along the frontage of his parcel on Pico Street. The requirements
are a result of a recent application for an addition to the existing
structure.
Sometime ago, the City Council had authorized the staff to prepare
improvement plans and proceed with the_ construction of the curb and gutter
in that general area. You may recall, that as a result of the petition by
the affected property owner, the project was'abandoned. The petition, at
that time, stated that the property owners on the northerly side of Pico,
westerly of Mt. Vernon do not desire to have the curbs and gutters
installed along the frontage of their property.
In reviewing the field conditions, it would appear that the installation of
the curb and gutter along the single frontage would not be of benefit to
the property owner or the general public. In addition, it must be
recognized that the City is in the process of updating the general plan.
The circulation element of that general plan indicates that, if adopted,
the street width on Pico Street would be increased. Therefore, the
installation of these improvements to current general plan, if the new
general plan is adopted as proposed, would not fit the ultimate
improvements.
The staff recommends that:
THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE WAIVER OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AS STATED ABOVE
AT THIS TIME; HOWEVER, REQUIRE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO
INSTALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS, OR PARTICIPATE TO THE EXTENT OF THEIR FAIR
SHARE OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS, IF, WITHIN 5 YEARS FROM THIS DATE A PROJECT FOR
SUCH IMPROVEMENTS IS CONSIDERED WITHIN THE WHOLE BLOCK AREA.

C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (XX) MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 14, 1983
AGENDA ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: AB 1362 UNDERGROUND STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Background: AB 1362 requires every county to implement a program to monitor
underground storage of hazardous substances. A city may, if it choses,
assume the responsibility for the implementation of these requirements. The
Department of Environmental Health Services has been authorized by the County as the
lead agency for hazardous management and by the State Department of Health Services
in a Memorandum Of Understanding as the local enforcement agency for hazardous
waste. Therefore the County will have inspectors at most facilities that store
hazardous materials underground.
The State law includes provisions for permit surcharge payments to State agencies
and loss of local control. In order to conform with the State law the County has
recommended that cities also pass a similar ordinance prior to January 1, 1984.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. NO ACTION --full State requirements are effective January 1, 1984 with the
County (DENS) as the implementing agency.
2. Develop a City ordinance and program - must be developed and adopted prior to
January 1, 1984.
3. Adopt the County ordinance and program as City ordinance. At any time in the
future should a city so choose, it may designate a city agency as implementing
agency.
Adoption prior to January 1, 1984 is necessary and your prompt consideration is
imperative.
This subject was discussed at the City Manager's meeting on December 9, 1983 and it
was the consensus of opinion by most cities that alternative No. 2, develop a, city
ordinance and program prior to January 1, 1984 to establish rules, regulations and
minimum standards for the storage of hazardous substances in underground storage
tanks be adopted by an urgency ordinance so that local control could be maintained.
Staff recommends that the Council:
A. ADOPT URGENCY ORDINANCE FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
ESTABLISHING RULES, REGULATIONS AND MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS. THIS IS PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 4046, AN

will be protected;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Requirements for Storage Tanks Installed after January 1,
1984 - Every underground storage tank installed after January 1, 1984, shall —
meet the following requirements:
a. Be designed and constructed to provide primary and secondary
levels of containment of the hazardous substances stored in them in accordance
with the following performance standards:
(1) Primary containment shall be product -tight;
(2) Secondary containment shall be constructed to prevent
structural weakening as a result of contact with any released
hazardous substances, and also shall be capable of storing,
for the maximum anticipated period of time necessary for the
recovery of any released hazardous substance;
(3) In the case of an installation with one primary container, the
secondary containment shall be large enough to contain at
least 100 percent of the volume of the primary tank;
(4) In the case of multiple primary tanks, the secondary container
shall be large enough to contain 150 percent of the volume of
the largest primary tank placed in it, or 10 percent of the
aggregate internal volume of all primary tanks, whichever is
greater;
(5) If the facility is open to rainfall, then the secondary
containment must be able to additionally accommodate the
volume of a 24-hour rainfall as determined by a 100-year storm
history;
(6) Single -walled containers do not fulfill the requirement of an
underground storage tank providing both a primary and a
secondary containment;
(7) The design and construction of underground storage tanks for
motor vehicle fuels storage need not meet the requirements of
paragraphs (1) to (6), inclusive, if the primary containment
construction is of glass fibre reinforced plastic,
cathodically protected steel, or steel clad with glass fibre
reinforced plastic, any such alternative primary containment
is installed in conjunction with a system that will intercept
and direct a leak from any part of the tank to a monitoring
well to detect any release of motor vehicle fuels. stored in
the tank and which is designed to provide early leak
detection, response, and to protect groundwater from releases,
and if the monitoring is in accordance with the alternative
method identified in paragraph (3), subdivision b. of Section
2. Pressurized piping systems connected to underground
storage tanks used for the storage of motor vehicle fuels and
monitored in accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision b.
of Section 2 shall also be deemed to meet the requirements of
this subdivision;
b. Be designed and constructed with a monitoring system capable of
detecting the entry of the hazardous material stored in the primary
containment into the secondary containment. If water could intrude into the
secondary containment, a means of monitoring for water intrusion and for
safely removing the water shall also be provided;
c. When required by the City, a means of overfill protection for any
primary tank, including an overfill prevention device or an attention -getting
higher level alarm, or both. Primary tank filling operations of underground
storage tanks containing motor vehicle fuels which are visually monitored and
controlled by a facility operator satisfy the requirements of this paragraph;
d. Different substances that in combination may cause a fire or
explosion, or the production of flammable, toxic, or poisonous gas, or the
deterioration of a primary or secondary container shall be separated in both
the primary and secondary containment so as to avoid potential intermixing;
- 2 -
e. If water could enter into the secondary containment by
precipitation or infiltration, the facility shall contain a means of removing
the water by the owner or operator. This removal system shall also provide
for a means of analyzing the removed water for hazardous substance
contamination and a means of disposing of the water, if so contaminated, at an
authorized disposal facility.
SECTION 2. Requirements for Underground Storage Tanks Installed on or
before January 1, 1984 - For every underground storage tank installed o� n or
before January and used for the storage of hazardous substances, the
following actions shall be taken:
a. On or before January 1, 1985, the owner shall outfit the facility
with a monitoring system capable of detecting unauthorized releases of any
hazardous substances stored in the facility and, thereafter, the operator
shall monitor each facility, based on materials stored and the type of
monitoring installed;
b. Provide a means for visual inspection of the tank, wherever
practical, for the purpose of the monitoring required by subdivision a. of
this Section. Alternative methods of monitoring the tank on a monthly, or
more frequent basis, may be required by the City, consistent with the
regulations of the State Water Resources Control Board. The alternative
monitoring methods include, but are not limited to, the following. methods:
(1) Pressure testing, vacuum testing, or hydrostatic testing of
the piping systems or underground storage tanks;
(2) A groundwater monitoring well or wells which are down gradient
and adjacent to the underground storage tank, vapor analysis
within a well where appropriate, and analysis of soil borings
at the time of initial installation of the well. The State
Water Resources Control Board shall develop regulations
specifying monitoring alternatives. The City, or any other
public agency specified by the City, shall approve the
location and number of wells, the depth of wells, and the
sampling frequency, pursuant to this Ordinance;
(3) For monitoring tanks containing motor vehicle fuels, daily
gauging and inventory reconciliation by the operator, if
inventory records are kept on file for one year and are
reviewed quarterly, the tank is tested for rightness
hydrostatically or, when appropraite with pressure between
three and five pounds, inclusive, per square inch at time
intervals specified by the State Water Resources Control Board
and whenever any pressurized system has a leak detection
device to monitor for leaks in the piping. The tank shall
also be tested for tightness hydrostatically or where
appropriate, with pressure between three and five pounds,
inclusive, per square inch whenever there is a shortage
greater than the amount which the State Water Resources
Control Board shall specify by regulation.

CHAPTER •1046
An act to add Section 25150.1 to, and to add Chapter 6.7 (com-
mencing with Section 25280) to Division 20 of, the Health and Safety
Code, relating to hazardous substances.
[Approved by Covernor September 23, 1983. Filed with
Secretary of State S-ptember 23, 19, 3.]
The people of the State of California do enact as follows.
SECTION 1. (a) The Lt:gislature finds and declares as follows:
(1) Substances hazardous to the public health and safety, and to
the environment, are stored prior to use or disposal in thousands of !
underground locations in the state.
(2) Underground tanks used for the storage of hazardous
substances and wastes are potential sources of contamination of the
ground and underlying aquifers, and may pose other dangers to
public health and the environment. ,
(3) In several known cases, underground storage has resulted in
undetected and uncontrolled releases of hazardous substances into
the ground. These releases have contaminated public drinking rater
supplies and created a potential threat to the public health and to the
waters of the state.

— 5 — Ch. 1046
(4) The Legislature has previously enacted laws regulating the
management of hazardous wastes, including statutes providing the
means to clean up releases of hazardous substances- into the
environment when the public health, domestic livestock:, wildlife
and the environment are endangered. Current laws do not
specifically govern the construction, maintenance, testing and use of
underground tanks used for the storage of hazardous substances, or
the short-term storage of hazardous wastes prior to disposal, for the
purposes of protecting the public health and the environment.
(5) f he p2 otection of the public from releases of hazardous
substances is an issue of statewide concern.
(b) The Legislature therefore declares that it is in the public
interest to establish a continuing program for the purpose of
preventing contamination from, and improper storage of, hazardous
substances stored underground. It is the intent of the Legislature, in
enacting this act, to establish orderly procedures that will ensure that
newly constructed underground storage tanks meet appropriate
standards and that existing tanks be properly maintained, inspected,
and tested so that the health, property, and resources of the people
of the state will be protected.
SEC. 2. Section 25150.1 is added to the Health and Safety Coc.e,
to read:
25150.1. The requirements in Sections 25281 and 9-528-1.1 apply to
the constriction, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and testing of
underground storage tanks, as defined ir. subdivision (m) of Section
25280, which are required to obtain hazardous waste facilities
permits from the department. The department shall adopt
regulations implementing the requirements of Sections 25254 and
25284.1, for regulating the construction, operation, maintenance,
monitoring, and testing of underground storage tanks used for the
storage of hazardous wastes which standards and regulations are
necessary to protect against hazards to the public health, to domestic
livestock, to wildlife, or to the environment. The regulat oms
department shall adopt the regulations by January 1, 1985). Jf the
regulations are not adopted by that d%te, the regulations adopted by
the board implementing Section 25284.1 shall be deemed to be the
regulations of the department pursuant to this section until new
regulations are adopted by the department pursuant to this section.
