POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
AND/OR CONSIDERATIONS
1) COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION: The purpose of this variable is to provide recognition
of community desires and opinions. How will this be formalized by the con-
sultant?
2) LAND RESOURCES: The purpose of this variable is to provide for potential negative
impacts associated with variations from Ceneral Plan and Zoning Ordinances
of a particular project. Does their proposal present a potential negative
impact?
3) PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COST IMPACT: This variable allows comparison of proposed
City expenditures with the amount of infrastructure to be constructed with
private financing.
4) ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: Both environmental impacts and the cost of mitigation
measures are considered in this variable. Does the proposal pose a potential
environmental impact, or a negative impact with no adverse impact.
5) EMPLOYMENT IMPACT: This variable relates to permanent employment opportunities.
Is this addressed?
6) WILL THE PLAN ADDRESS any potential for the increase of the number of minority
owned business starts?
7) WILL THE PLAN ATTEMPT to strengthen existing minority businesses?
8) WILL THE PLAN CONSIDER, community constraints. Attitude of the community, toward
economic development?
9) WILL THE PLAN CONSIDER external constraints. This would include regional con-
straints, which usually tend to dominate over community constraints. This
would be in the area of the status of the Regional economy (SMSA), County
of San Bernardino, attitude of the Regional political representatives.
10) WILL THE PLAN CONTAIN four essential elements:
A. Market Study
o what the potential business sells
o trade area
o sales volume
o trade area customers
o trade area competition
o probable customers
o estimated sales volume
B. Sales Plan
o what sales volume will the business generate
o what gross margin can it achieve
o number of employees
o detail specific goods and merchandise
o how much inventory
o inventory turnover
C. Technical and Operational Plan
o physical facility
o machinery and equipment
o labor force
o how can the business generate estimated sales
D. Financial Plan
o will the business be financially feasible
o dollars required to open
o projected sales income
o sales volume required to cover cash outflows
11) FISCAL ANALYSIS: All public service costs associated with the proposed
development, and all financing methods.
12) PROPOSED FUNDING: During the next decade, revenue bonds will
continue to grow as a primary source of financing major
public improvements. However, there is likely to be a
decrease in the extent to which major public improvements
can be financed in whole with bonds payable solely from
project revenues, does.the proposal address other acceptable
means of financing future projects?

ABSENT: Roy W. Nix, Councilman
The meeting was opened with invocation by Reverend Winkler, Inland Christian

CIVIC CE14TER CONSTRUCTION BRIEFING
Architect Larry Wolff stated he felt there is a discrepancy in intent
between the January 23, 1984 Minutes and the City Attorney's
interpretation relative to the earthwork compaction; read a letter
dated February 8, 1984 from Roy Taylor, President, Maveric
Construction Inc. indicating his firm had expended more than $45,000
in addition to the amount it would have cost to achieve compaction;
indicated he had signed Change Order No. 2 in the amount of
$30,867.93, which he would consider as a fair compromise if the City
agrees to pay that amount; requested resolution of this matter at this
meeting.
Attorney Harper stated if the contractor feels an unforeseen
circumstance has caused him to expend additional funds, he is required
to present his case in the form of a change order to the architect;
the architect renders a decision relative to the change order, then
Council has 30 days to accept or reject that decision; the 30-day
period on this decision expires approximately February 22, 1984;
recommended that Council consider appealing the architect's decision
to arbitration. Council concurred with holding a closed session on
this matter.
FUND PRESENTATION - SWIMMING POOL RENOVATION
Mayor Grant presented a $15,000 check from the Community Redevelopment
Agency, and Rex Edmondson, President, Grand Terrace Lions' Club,

Superintendent, Colton Joint Unified School District, to assist with
the necessary renovation of the Terrace Hills Swimming Pool. Mr.
Jacobsen expressed appreciation for receipt of the funds; invited
Mayor Grant and Mr. Edmondson to attend the Board of Directors meeting
February 16 to make a similar presentation; indicated the first phase
of the renovation has begun and that it appears the renovation funding
consists of approximately one-third funding from the City, the Lions'
Club, and the School District.
CLOSED SESSION
Council recessed to a Closed Session at 6:00 p.m. to consider matters
of potential litigation, with the City Manager, Attorney Harper, the
Finance/Administrative Services Officer, and the City Engineer in
attendance.

The regular meeting reconvened at 6:22 p.m., with all members present
except Councilman Nix. Mayor Grant announced the purpose of the
Closed Session was to consider two items of potential litigation; no
decision was reached to take action obligating the City on one of the
items. Relative to the other item considered, Mayor Grant announced
that Council acknowledges receipt of correspondence from Maveric
Construction Inc. dated February 8, 1984 which is to be filed and made
a matter of public record; stated Council took action in Closed
Session to direct the City Attorney to make a written request to go to
arbitration relative to the issue of Maveric Construction Inc.
FY 1984-85 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
City Manager Armstead made the following corrections to the Staff
Report regarding this matter: (1) References made to a deficit in the
capital improvement program in the first and fourth paragraphs were
corrected from $202,000 to $169,880; (2) Reference to a $200,000
reserve in Item No. 1 under alternatives was corrected to $230,000.
Recommended setting a Public Workshop Session to review the capital
improvement projects.

listed as one of six alternatives in the Staff Report to consider for
revenue to finance the capital improvement projects; set Thursday,
February 16 at 5:30 p.m. for a public workshop session on this
matter. Councilman Rigley recommended that supplemental information
be provided to assist in prioritizing the capital improvement

Page 4 -
2/9/84
Mayor Grant reported the following: (1) stated there is a sign on
Barton oad past the Stater Brothers' Warehouse going easterly which
indicates you are entering Grand Terrace, but there is no sign on La
Cadena indicating entering Grand Terrace; feels this gives the
impression that none of that area is Grand Terrace; requested that
Staff ensure that area is being covered by the street sweeper; doesn't
want that area neglected; (2) Attended LAFC Meeting; as alternate,
requested that the Commission delay a decision relative to the
annexation of a portion of Bloomington by a neighboring city; the

APPEAL - WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING COMPANY
Planning Director Kicak reviewed the Staff Report indicating that
Wilden Pump & Engineering Company is requesting a waiver of the
dedication and street improvement requirements as specified in
Ordinance No. 44 and the General Plan which relate to that firm's
proposed expansion program; the February 1, 1984 letter from Mr. Tuck
also indicated the required improvements could be considered at such
time as the firm develops the remainder of its property.
Mr. Kicak stated discussions have been held regarding the possibility
of establishing a loop system of streets between the buffer zone and
any proposed development, which could eliminate the need for
additional widening of the existing residential streets between
Michigan and Area "B." Since no specific plan exists at this time,
recommended that Council delay the dedication required by Ordinance
No. 44 and the street improvements required by the General Plan until
such time as the firm proposes additional expansion.
Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Petta, to
delay the provisions of Ordinance No. 44 with respect to the
requirements for dedication and the installation of street
improvements in accordance with the General Plan, at this time.
Councilman Rigley noted there is no specific time period for meeting
the requirements. Mr. Kicak stated they would be delayed until the
firm expands its site again. Attorney Harper advised Council could
place a lien on the property to construct the street improvements at
some future date and a condition could be placed on the issuance of
the present building permit indicating dedication is required at some
future date to be determined by the City. It was clarified that
Section 9 of Ordinance No. 44 provides for waivers.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen requested that the word "delay" be changed
to "waive." Councilman Petta, as the Second, did not concur; felt
dedication should be required at this time, since the City could
require the needed dedication prior to another expansion by Wilden
Pump.
Mr. Kicak stated the City could require a dedication deed which would
not be accepted until needed. Attorney Harper stated if the
dedication deed is irrevocable, it can be accepted at any time, and
the City would not be liable for the dedication until accepted.
Page 5 -
2/9/84
Mr. Kicak stated curbs and gutters currently exist along the entire
frontage, with a sidewalk in a portion of the frontage; however, if
the circulation element of the General Plan were implemented, an
additional eleven feet of dedication would be required and the curbs
and gutters would be required to be moved back ten feet.
Allen Tuck, Vice -President, Wilden Pump & Engineering Company, stated
that portion of Van Buren is 1,200 feet long; the entire southerly
side has been improved, with the exception of a portion of sidewalk,
within the last two years, a portion of which was at City expense.
Questioned the advisability of tearing out the present improvements,
since the future development of that area is uncertain; his firm does
not want to eliminate the present landscaping; feels it will be some
time before Michigan becomes a four -lane street; stated his
instructions are that his firm has considered and is not interested in
alternatives; feels his firm has been one of the most rapidly growing
and aggressive firms in the City, and there will be an opportunity to
widen the street later if necessary; requested that the requirements
be waived.
Councilman Petta concurred with waiving the street improvement
requirements, since development is uncertain at this time; however,
felt dedication will be required sooner or later, and that the City
might need the dedication prior to the firm expanding further.
Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, to amend the
Motion to require dedication at this time.
Mr. Kicak clarified that requiring dedication at this time means the
firm would be required to furnish a document offering the dedication
of eleven additional feet for public purposes; then if the City wishes
to widen the street in the future, it can accept the dedication, or
the dedication can be vacated later if it becomes evident the
right-of-way will not be required. Councilman Petta stated the City
has just gone through a costly process of appraisals and purchasing
right-of-way to widen Barton Road; had dedication been acquired
previously, this would have been unnecessary; feels this is why
dedication should be required at this time.
David Terbest, 22365 Barton Road, stated as a member of the Chamber of
Commerce Economic Development Committee, that Wilden Pump is the
largest employer in the City, providing a good tax base; voiced
concern that if business firms are harassed the City will lose them;
recommended supporting the waiver.
Councilman Petta stated the intent is good business, not harassment,
and involves no money; if the dedication is not needed, it will be
given back. Councilwoman Pfennighausen felt progress is being stopped
since it has taken much time for Wilden Pump to proceed with its
expansion; disagreed with Councilman Petta's comments relative to
right-of-way acquisition on Barton Road, feeling those property owners
have had their properties decreased and what the City paid was
reasonable. Councilman Petta stated it was necessary for the City to
purchase right-of-way and in one instance had to purchase a street due
to the County's failure to require dedication.
Page 6 -
2/9/84
Attorney Dougherty, representing Wilden Pump, stated the firm feels
dedication should not be required until the future development of that
area is more certain. Mr. Tuck stated his instructions are that
imposing the requirements will stop Wilden Pump in the City; the firm
wants to reserve participation in the planning of its property; not
prepared to dedicate.
Councilman Petta stated these requirements are no different than what
would be required of any other development; if the requirements are
improper, then they should be eliminated. Questioned if the City
Engineer would feel comfortable removing the requirements. Mr. Kicak
stated this involves the General Plan and circulation element which
have gone through the public hearing process and have been accepted by
the Planning Commission and Council as the tool to work with in trying
to provide what the Planning Commission and Council have viewed as the
future needs for development of that area; Staff has the obligation to
require the dedication, based on the General Plan, which is a
requirement imposed on every building permit issued by the City.
Councilman Petta stated his position is that every developer who comes
in for a building permit has the same requirements; questioned how
requirements can be imposed on other developers if not required in
this case. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated Staff has recommended
waiving the requirements at this time; felt imposing the requirements
when future development is unknown is harassment.
John Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, stated the City of Redlands has
agreements to improve when it becomes necessary; recommended a similar
agreement. Councilman Rigley questioned and the City Engineer
confirmed the City has used a similar process for agreements; however,
Mr. Tuck has stated they would not consider this option. Councilman
Rigley questioned how such an agreement would adversely affect the
firm. Mr. Tuck stated his firm has considered building another
facility in Riverside; felt the 11-foot dedication would make the
facility unattractive; feels Council should support local industry or
the address will be Riverside, not Colton; indicated the City Manager
had previously questioned the address being Colton rather than Grand
Terrace; the firm felt the change would create confusion for its
customers; stated the firm will have four acres remaining to be
developed, and participation could be considered at that time.
Councilman Petta stated requiring the dedication will not change the
appearance of the facility, nor will it require walls or grading; all
it would require is preparation of a document indicating the
dedication is available if needed, which is no more or less than what
would be required of any other developer. Mr. Tuck stated his firm
wants the opportunity of participating in decisions regarding its
property; suggested continuing the matter for further discussion.
Frank Gigandet, 22743 Miriam Way, stated it appears Council is being
pressured into establishing a precedent which can cost a fortune in
the future to acquire right-of-way, and can result in lawsuits; has
seen difficulties such as this occur in other cities, due to failure
to take proper action; urged Council to think of the future;
Page 7 -
2/9/84
recommended that the City Attorney and the attorney for Wilden Pump
meet to work out an agreeable solution.
Attorney Dougherty recommended continuing the matter to the next
meeting; stated the company is in a position where it would appear if
the decision is made to impose the dedication requirement it will not
make the plant expansion in Grand Terrace, which he feels would be
detrimental to the future growth of the City; feels the City should be
concerned about future employment opportunities for the citizens, and
future income from taxes and fees.
Councilman Rigley questioned if Wilden Pump would consider an
agreement for future dedication and improvements if required. Mr.
Tuck stated he felt his firm would want their property to be
compatible with the surrounding property if in fact all the
development occurred pursuant to the General Plan and circulation
element; felt since there are so many different proposals for that
area, it is imperative that his firm participate in the decision of
what will be done; requested a waiver of the requirements at this
time; felt if this is not acceptable, would recommend a continuance to
see if something can be worked out. Councilman Petta stated his
proposal would not take effect unless that street needed to be
re -aligned, as is presently being done on Barton Road; then the City
would already have the right-of-way, and would install the
improvements.
Attorney Harper recommended continuing the matter; felt, based on
Attorney Dougherty and Mr. Tuck's comments, there is a potential of
entering into a development agreement whereby Wilden Pump would not
formally dedicate the frontage until such time as the City determines
the need to widen the road and to construct improvements, which could
be worked out by Attorney Hopkins, Mr. Wilden and attorney Dougherty.
CC-84-26 A Substitute Motion made by Mayor Grant, Seconded by Councilman
Rigley, to delay this matter until the next Council Meeting, carried
3-1, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen voting NOE, and Councilman Nix
being absent.
Councilman Rigley stated he feels Council has been and will continue
to be cooperative on matters requested by Wilden Pump; feels there has
been no harassing; disagrees with inference that not complying with
the request will result in moving elsewhere. Councilman Petta stated
the purpose of requiring the dedication is not to penalize Wilden
Pump, but feels the requirements should be consistently required of
all parties. Mayor Grant stated the purpose of his Motion was to
allow Councilman Nix to be present for further consideration of the
matter.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CA,

City Attorney Harper read the title of the Ordinance.
City Clerk Erway advised the City adopted the San Bernardino County

Restroom Project; advised the floor in the ladies restroom has
buckled; requested resolvement prior to contract finalization.
CC-84-30 Following clarification of Warrant Nos. 11949 and 11967, Motion by
Mayor Grant, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to
approve Check Register No. 022384 as presented.
RESOLUTION CERTIFYING EIR & APPROVING UPDATED GENERAL PLAN
City Attorney Hopkins read the entire Resolution, including the
amendments to exclude approval of the Housing Element, to be deferred
until it has been approved by the State.
Councilman Nix questioned what notification was given to advertise the
Public Hearings; was advised Public Hearing Notices were legally
posted; Planning Director Kicak stated the consultant advised that all
affected property owners were notified in writing that the proposed
General Plan could affect their property. Councilman Nix questioned
the areas involved, noting some property owners feel they were not
notified. Mr. Kicak stated the mailing list is available.
Mayor Grant opened the meeting to Public Participation. The following
individuals voiced opposition to the proposed changes to the General
Plan and indicated they had not been notified on this matter: Frances
Carter, 11938 Arliss Drive; Barney Karger, 11668 Bernardo Way, voicing
opposition to widening Grand Terrace Road, "spot -zoning" of Barton
Road, and requiring a specific plan on developments of 10 or more
Page 2 -
2/23/84
units; Lee Swertfeger, 12438 Michigan, opposing the zone change on his
property - wants the present zoning; Max Archer, 22064 Van Buren,
indicated present zoning is C-2, and planned to expand, but proposed
plan will not permit, since a portion of the property is now
designated as residential.
Planning Director Kicak stated a portion of Mr. Archer's property was
residential, but had C-2 zoning; as a result of the proposed General
Plan, his and several properties along Michigan have been designated
for residential for a depth of 330 feet; State Law requires zoning to
be brought into conformance with the General Plan; therefore, anyone
in that area of Michigan presently utilizing property as industrial,
commercial, etc., who wants to expand under the present General Plan,
regardless of the present zoning, could not be issued a building
permit for expansion; the zoning would have to be changed to conform
with the General Plan.
Council indicated final approval of the General Plan should be delayed
until further input has been received from the citizens; indicated
this matter was advertised legally and had requested additional
notification to ensure that all property owners were notified so that
this input could be received.
Kenneth Parrett, 22888 Grand Terrace Road, recommended postponing
action and sending notices in the utility billings; Bob Zambergen,
22006 Barton Road, requested the north side of Barton Road be zoned
commercial; Fernando Bijorquez, 22238 Barton Road, stated was not
notified of changing zoning and widening of Barton Road; questioned
traffic circulation and effect on elementary school; Alma Guerke,
22780 Grand Terrace Road, opposed widening Grand Terrace Road;
requested consideration be given to widening the north side of the
intersection of Mt. Vernon and Grand Terrace Road to accommodate the
school buses, and placement of a four-way stop sign for safety
purposes.
Planning Director Kicak was requested to clarify the purpose and
impact of the General Plan. Mr. Kicak stated the major concern
expressed appears to be street widths, which pertains to the
circulation element of the General Plan; a study was conducted to
determine the street widths needed to accommodate the traffic when the
entire area is developed; the General Plan is a guide for new
development; there would be no changes to those parcels with
improvements on the frontages unless a building permit were requested
which required dedication and improvement or unless there were a total
change of the use of that property; the City has no present or future
plans to widen Grand Terrace Road.
Frances Carter, 11938 Arliss Drive, stated she was in Mr. Kicak's
Office when he called the consulting firm; they stated that, although
not legally required, they notified the property owners; stated she
nor four other property owners she contacted on Michigan had been
notified by direct mail; requested further hearings; Marylou Williams,
22270 Barton Road, felt both sides of Barton Road should be zoned
general commercial; Bernie Barrad, 11669 Bernardo Way, felt additional

Avenue, requested
Mayor Grant requested that Staff address the issues raised and that
additional hearings be set regarding this matter; the City Attorney
advised the matter should be referred back to the Planning Commission
with instructions to begin the public hearing process.
CC-84-31 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, to
refer the General Plan Update back to the Planning Commission with the
recommendation that the public hearing process be re -initiated.
Recess was called at 7:13 p.m. and reconvened at 7:37 p.m. with all
me- m7ers present.
ORDINANCE NO. 76 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND A, ADOPTING THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE.
The City Attorney read the title of the Ordinance; advised the City,
upon incorporation, adopted the San Bernardino County Code, by
reference, to provide a set of laws for the City; since the County
Code was not prepared for the City's specific purposes, the City
commissioned Book Publishing Company to work with the City Clerk, the
City Attorney, and the City Engineer to compile portions of the County
Code with City -adopted ordinances into a Municipal Code; the subject
Ordinance is for the purpose of adopting the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code.
Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 76. No supporting
testimony was given.
Opposing Testimony
Dennis Evans, 22064 DeBerry, requested consideration be given to
amending Chapter 2.08 pertaining to the duties and powers of the City
Manager; stated there is no indication the City Council has any
authority to approve the hiring of new employees.
There being no further testiony, Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing.
Mayor Grant stated he and Councilwoman Pfennighausen, on one occasion,
discussed the pros and cons of a legislative body becoming involved in
the process of hiring staff who are subordinates to the City Manager.
There are those who believe in the traditional principles of public
administration which makes the City Manager the one person totally
responsible for hiring all subordinates and all answerable to him, and
if his subordinates neglect their responsibilities, the City Manager
must answer to the City Council. Councilwoman Pfennighausen brought
up the system at the State and Federal level wherein the Senate
confirms appointments of the chief executive. Felt the chief
executive of the United States and the State should not be compared to
the chief administrative officer of a county or city; felt the City
Manager is responsible to Council and if he doesn't perform his
Page 4 -
2/23/84
duties, will do everything to see it is corrected, up to the maximum;
feels Council should not interfere with the City Manager's legitimate
right to hire those he feels will do the job; felt otherwise Council
would be circumventing and decreasing the City Manager's authority as
the Chief Administrative Officer of the City.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated when she talked to Mayor Grant
regarding this, she was not saying somebody was or was not doing a
good job; felt a lot of authority is being placed with one individual;
noted it takes full Council to discharge the City Manager; felt
Council should not review all personnel being hired and fired, but
felt when major department heads are being hired, their qualifications
and reasons for selection should be shared with Council, and their
appointment ratified by Council; disagreed with the Mayor; feels a
check and balance system is needed.
Councilman Petta concurred with Mayor Grant relative to the City
Manager being responsible and held accountable for all actions
pertaining to personnel; felt he should be responsible for selecting
the personnel, is responsible to Council, and if something is
improper, Council can take action accordingly.
Councilman Rigley concurred with the City Manager being held
accountable, including hiring the personnel; however, felt
consideration could be given to Council ratifying the selection of the
Finance/Administrative Services Officer only, since the individual
holding this position often is the Acting City Manager in the City
Manager's absence.
Councilman Nix stated he supports the issue of accountability, which
is the primary concern; the City Manager is responsible for the total
administration of the business of the City, not just personnel; in the
interest of clearness of lines of responsibility and to avoid
confusion and chaos, Council is charged with the responsibility of
setting policy and monitoring the City Manager's effectiveness in
performing the job; felt the argument relative to the Federal
government and civil service procedures should be good reason not to
follow the same procedures, rather than following them. Felt if
Council is to ratify one position it should then ratify all department
head positions; felt in that case, Council still should not make the
selection; if it disagreed with the City Manager's selection, the
matter should still go back to the City Manager to make a selection
which Council would approve; feels in general that is the process
presently being followed; the City Manager has the authority to do
many things which, in exercising better judgment, are brought before
Council for an opinion, which he feels is appropriate in managing the
job. Felt a reasonable compromise would be that the selection of
department heads be approved by Council prior to hiring; felt this
could still leave the accountability with the City Manager.
Questioned, and the City Attorney confirmed, that this change would be
substantive and would require another first reading.
CC-84-32 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, to adopt
Ordinance No. 76 by title only carried 3-2, with Councilman Nix and
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voting NOE.

CC-84-33 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, to adopt
Ordinance No. 76 as read carried 3-2, with Councilman Nix and
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voting NOE.
WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING COMPANY APPEAL
City Attorney Hopkins advised a meeting was held with Allen Tuck and
Attorney Dougherty at which time a development agreement was
formulated; stated the agreement as presented requires the following
amendments: is to be a covenant running with the land that will
oblicate and bind future successors of assigns to that property; a
legal description is to be attached; the final paragraph is to state
that the dedication recited is to be at no cost to the City; the
signatures are to be notarized and the agreement is to be recorded.
Councilman Petta commended David Terbest for his efforts in assisting
in the development of the agreement. Motion by Councilman Petta,
CC-84-34 Second by Mayor Grant, to approve the Development Agreement between
Wilden Pump and Engineering Company and the City, as amended. Mayor
Grant concurred with Councilman Petta and also commended Wilden Pump.
Motion No. CC-84-34 carried, ALL AYES. Allen Tuck thanked David
Terbest and Staff for their efforts in this matter; anticipates
construction will begin in a month and a 20% employment increase this
year; looks forward to a new relationship with and to the future here
in the City.
PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Kicak announced the next meeting will be held March 5.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
Chairman Dick Rollins advised the regular meeting was adjourned due to
lack of a quorum. The unofficial Committee Minutes of February 6,
1984 were provided to Council.
CC-84-35 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL
AYES, to approve changing the location of the Parks & Recreation
Committee Meetings to be held the first and third Mondays of each
month at 7:30 p.m. in Building No. 4 at City Hall.
HISTORICAL & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE
The minutes of February 6 were provided to Council.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Administrative Assistant Coyle advised the regular meeting was held;
the Committee is working on the Emergency Operations Plan.
CITY/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE
Councilman Rigley stated a letter from David Terbest has been
distributed to Council regarding a proposed joint newsletter.
Page 6 -
2/23/84
David Terbest, 22365 Barton Road, stated the Committee, in an effort
to improve communication throughout the community, is recommending
expanding the Chamber Newsletter to include City news items and
notices, as well as community news, to be circulated throughout the
City by using the utility billing mailing list of 3,280 and
circulating another 800 to apartments, condominiums and mobile homes.
The Chamber is currently spending $300 per month, or 77� each, for
limited circulation; proposed publication costs for the expanded
newsletter and circulation are estimated at $1,828 per month, or 47�
each; some of the costs can be defrayed with limited advertising; cost
proposals were obtained from several publishing firms; the Chamber
will pay the mailing costs at bulk rate, which will decrease when the
Chamber achieves non-profit status, and will assemble the news items;
will need City information from the City Clerk. The newsletter is to
be non -political.
Bob Yeates, Chamber President, stated the intent of the expanded
newsletter is to inform the citizens of local businesses to encourage
shopping in the City, and to publicize civic and community activities.
In discussion Council concurred with the need to improve
communication; felt this will accomplish that purpose and will improve
economic development within the City. Some concern was expressed that
the City's funding of the newsletter could result in the City
controlling the newsletter; Mr. Terbest stated this was considered;
felt if a problem occurs, it could be handled at that time.
CC-84-36 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Mayor Grant, ALL AYES, that the
City budget $1,828.00 per month to support the Grand Terrace Chamber
of Commerce in publishing a monthly newsletter starting with the April
edition.
City Manager Armstead recommended that Council approve funding for the
newsletter for the first month only at this time, to allow time for
Staff to determine how funding can be made available for the remainder
of the year and present that information at the next Council meeting,
since there presently are no funds for this project. Councilman
Rialey stated the Motion was approving funding for the remainder of
this fiscal year.
CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Armstead stated an informational meeting was held
February 21, with Chamber representatives participating, to answer
questions from the firms who received RFP's for an economic
development consultant. Councilman Rigley stated representatives from
two firms were present; the questions raised indicated this could be a
costly project, with long-range results; felt more proposals and input
are needed; felt alternatives should be considered to hiring a firm,
such as hiring a full-time individual.
Mayor Grant left the Council Chambers at 8:45 p.m.
Page 7 -
2/23/84
u
Mr. Armstead stated the rating method will be provided for Council
approval at the March 8 meeting prior to evaluation of the proposals.
Councilman Rigley requested that all proposals also be provided to
Council.
CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
City Attorney Hopkins stated Council had indicated public hearing
notices on the General Plan should be included in the utility
billings; advised this will be a problem, since time will not allow
the notices to be included in the March billing, and the next billing
will not be done until May; it was suggested the notice could be
published in the newsletter. Attorney Hopkins stated direction is
needed relative to whether the City Manager and Planning Director
should negotiate further with the consultant, since the contractual
funds have been expended and it appears the General Plan process will
be re -initiated, at least in the public hearing process.
In discussion, Councilman Nix noted that a large part of the contract
was publication of the final General Plan document; any changes made
will require re -publishing; recommended that Staff evaluate the
details of what will be required to re -initiate and process this
project and submit a report with recommendations to the Planning
Commission and Council for consideration. Councilman Rigley
recommended waiting to make individual changes during the amendment
process. Councilwoman Pfennighausen requested clarification on the
amendment process, stating she understands the General Plan can be
amended four times a year, with no specific timetable.
Mayor Grant returned to the Council Chambers at 8:55 p.m.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilwoman Pfennighausen questioned if a street sign has been placed
at the a m ose a e in ersection. The City Manager stated the
Community Services Director advised a sign presently exists.
Councilman Rigley recommended considering changing the location of the
Council Meetings; questioned if the room is air-conditioned.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen recommended changing, since the equipment
would then not have to be moved and would reduce costs; felt the size
is sufficient, would seat 50 people. Councilman Nix felt the size
could be inadequate; Mayor Grant preferred the present location, but
supported the move to reduce costs.
Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant that the
Council meeting place be changed to the band room and that the proper
ordinance be prepared. Councilman Petta felt it would be difficult
for the public to find the room and would be an inconvenience when it
rains; recommended no change, since the new Council chambers will be
ready soon. Councilman Nix concurred the change could be confusing
and felt cost is inconsequential when compared to the cost for the new
facility; Councilman Rigley concurred the location should be
convenient for the citizens.

The Motion failed 2-3, with Councilmen Rigley, Petta and Nix voting
NOE.
RESOLUTION NO. 84-05 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, GING THE LEGISLATURE & THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE
OF CALIFONIA TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTION TO CONTROL UTILITY RATES
Sue Noreen, Area Manager, So. California Edison Company, stated
Councilwoman Pfennighausen and a staff member attended the
presentations by Edison and So. Calif. Gas Company. Stated her
company has three rate components: the company is allowed to file for
an increase in the base rates, which is the cost of doing business,
once every two years; filed for a 4.3% increase to be effective
January 1,1985; the company's rate of return is regulated; the second
component is energy cost, which is fuel; no profit is allowed on this;
a 3.6% increase has been filed on this to cover 1984-85, to be
effective June, 1984; the company has decreased its dependence on oil
and gas to 3% as of 1983; if the projected energy costs exceed the
actual cost, the excess must be returned to the customers; the third
component is a major additions adjustment clause for large facilities
coming on line, such as the San Onofre Plant; the costs for these
cannot be folded into the base rates until the plant is in operation;
an 11.3% increase has been requested to be effective April 1984. The
company has three rate cases coming before the PUC in 1985, 1986 and
1987, due to new facilities. Feels the company is doing its best to
keep costs down and there will be fewer increases once the new plants
are in operation. Stated the subject resolution failed to pass at the
State and National League of Cities; felt the proposed resolution will
not accomplish the intent.
Councilman Petta voiced no opposition on electricity, but opposed the
gas rates; doesn't understand how they can have a 500% increase when
gas prices are down; recommended resolution refer to gas only.
Councilman Nix stated in most of the economy there is a competitive
factor which is lacking in the utilities; gas prices peaked in 1981,
yet utility rates continue to increase; supports resolution; feels we
are paying for inefficiency and feels obligation to speak for the
citizens.
Councilman Rigley stated his electric bill has doubled and the price
of fuel has decreased 15-16% in the last two years; supports the
resolution, even though it may be ineffective.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen felt the presentation made by Edison gave
an understanding for the rate increases; oil and natural gas have some
of the strongest lobbies in Washington D.C.; felt the legislators will
vote with them unless they hear otherwise from the public; doesn't
feel the proposed resolution will solve the problems.
Mayor Grant concurred with Councilman Rigley; feels even though the
resolution may have shortcomings, it addresses a need;
CC-84-37 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Rigley, to adopt
Resolution No. 84-05.
Page 9 -
2/23/84
Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to
amend the Motion to delete reference to electricity from the
Resolution, failed 2-3, with Mayor Grant and Councilmen Rigley and Nix
voting NOE.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen opposed the resolution referencing
utilities in general, since only the citizens, not the PUC nor the
Governor can control water rates.
Motion No. CC-84-37 carried 4-1, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen
voting NOE.
Recess was called at 9:55 p.m. and reconvened at 10:07 p.m. with all
meters present.
BARTON ROAD/PALM TRIANGLE WIDENING
This item was deferred to the next meeting to allow further staffing.
NUISANCE ABATEMENT
Administrative Assistant Coyle advised all proper notices have been
processed for the houses located at 11958 Canal and 12610 Michigan,
advising the need to clean up the properties and of the City's
intention to take action, if necessary; price proposals have been
obtained and are recoverable through billing or a tax lien against the
properties; recommended authorizing abatement which includes cutting
weeds to 2-inch height, removal of debris, locking doors, and a $509
appropriation.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated reports received indicate rats are
breeding at 11958 Canal; felt total nuisance should be abated; stated
the house at 12610 Michigan is a shell and the owner apparently is not
interested in selling; has been advised if the house were to be
condemned, the City would have to pay $36,000-$42,000 to demolish the
house; referenced a similar situation in another community in which a
structure was demolished and the costs charged to the owner on the tax
roll; stated drug parties are being held at that house and are being
advertised throughout Colton High School; felt the recommended
abatement is insufficient.
City Attorney Hopkins stated advice was never given that the City
would have to pay for demolition of a structure; stated the City
Engineer was previously handling this matter, demolition action was
being taken against the property at 12610 Michigan and the property
was appraised; further action was deferred because supposedly the
property was in escrow and due to the time which had elapsed on the
notice process, not due to demolition costs. Mr. Coyle stated he had
apparently misunderstood the City Attorney's advice.
City Engineer Kicak stated he had been reluctant to pursue this matter
since four individuals indicated they were making an offer on that
property; stated the processing of notices has previously been delayed
due to the property owner's failure to accept the notices; Attorney
Hopkins recommended serving the notices at the owner's residence.
Page 10 -
2/23/84
CC-84-38 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Nix, to
direct Staff to take action to abate the nuisances at 11958 Canal and
12610 Michigan and to report the action being taken at the next
meeting. Attorney Hopkins felt further Council action will be
required, since the requested funding will be insufficient to cover
demolition. Motion No. CC-84-38 carried, ALL AYES.
RIVERSIDE HIGHLAND WATER COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
Mayor Grant advised he will be unable to attend the stockholders
meeting on March 8; recommended authorizing an individual to vote in
behalf of the City to elect a Board of Directors and other business.
CC-84-39 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, to
authorize Councilwoman Pfennighausen to act in the City's behalf and
to nominate Sanford Collins as Secretary at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of Riverside Highland Water Company to be held at 9:00
a.m. on Thursday, March 8, 1984.
Councilman Nix requested input at the next session on why the
percentage of revenues on investment earnings is so much lower than
anticipated for the year; stated the January 31 month -end statement
reflects 19% of the projected amount so far this year, and questioned
the reason.
City Manager Armstead announced an offer has been made to an
individual for the position of Finance/Administrative Officer; will
announce the individual's name when the confirming letter has been
received.
ADJOURN - The regular meeting adjourned at 10:37 p.m. to an Adjourned

PRE-SEt;INAR WORKSHOP
"Treasurers. Do You P.eally Knov, Ulith l?hom You Are Doinc Business?"
In the past we have taken for granted the financial health of the
institutions in which we have deposited money, or with whom we did re-
purchase agreements or otherwise invested. In today's world, each of us
must develop methods of credit analysis of those with whom we do business
or potentially suffer the consequences.
C.M.T.A. is conducting a two (2) day workshop on Credit Analysis on
Monday, April 23 and Tuesday, April 24, 1984, just prior to our annual
seminar at the Red Lion Inn in San Jose.
A team of specialists is being brougft together from: 'Nev, York, 4,ashincton
and San Francisco to cover the topic of Credit Analysis from a variety of view
points. Banks, Savings and Loans, and Brokers will be discussed as tc how the
professionals review their financial well being. The analytical use of Banks
and Savings and Loan Directories will be reviewed. There will be a panel on
evaluation of band: services, and a discussion of how to properly manage market
risk.
A workshop of this quality would no rrally cost several hundred dollars,
but as C.I".T.A. believes in making education affordable to all Trea,urers,
the registration fee is only S730.00, wi.ich include tyro lunches, breaks, and
a hosted reception on N:)nday night. Registration is limited to City and
County Treasury representatives. If you are interested in attending, fill
out the enclosed registration form.

REQUEST: Mr. Irwin Jaeger, owner of Grand Terrace
Professional Plaza, 22365 Barton Road is
requesting a variance from the requirements
for the construction of a monument sign at
22365 Barton Road.
STAFF ANALYSIS: Mr. Irwin Jaeger originally applied to the
Planning Director for a sign permit to con-
struct a monument sign at 22365 Barton Road
on October 20, 1983. The -Planning Director
denied the permit and Mr. Jaeger applied to
the Planning Commission for a variance from
Chapter 23 of Ordinance 57. Subsequently,
the Planning Commission denied the variance
at their regular meeting of November 7, 1983.
Mr. Jaeger then appealed the Planning Commission
decision to the City Council and withdrew his
appeal request prior to a public hearing.
On February 17, 1984, Mr. Jaeger submitted a
revised sign plan to the Planning Director for
approval
A revised sign plan and plot plan showing the
proposed sign location are attached. 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 revised.
(Denial letter attached.) The requirement
for business identification sign involving
multiple professional tenants is given below.

Directory Three (3) per 12 sq. ft. Not to exceed

Remarks:
1. Wall signs shall be limited to building identification only, no tenant identification.
2. Monument signs shall be limited to identifying the name of the professional complex.
3. Director signs shall be placed on the wall at main entrance and shall be limited

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6 T
SUBJECT: SUMMONS FILED BY MICHAEL KELLEY
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED X
In May of 1983, the City of Grand Terrace received a claim from Michael Kelley
for contributing to the cause of a traffic accident. The accident occurred
at the corner of Barton Road and Grand Terrace Avenue. Mr. Kelley was making
a left turn from the stop sign from Grand Terrace Avenue onto Barton Road
when involved in the accident with a motorcycle westbound on Barton. The claim
was rejected by Council and notice sent to Mr. Kelley on June 30, 1983.
Mr. Kelley has filed suit. The summons was received on Fe.bruary 17 and forwarded
to Carl Warren and Associates on February 21, 1984. Carl Warren and Associates
are the claims consultants for the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance
Authority. This is a "cross -complaint." Mr. Kelley is being sued by the
owner of the motorcycle and is claiming that this City failed to adequately
provide traffic control and that bushes, mailboxes and other objects in the
right-of-way obscured his vision. His attorney's May 6, 1983 letter states
that he anticipates the damages "will be less than $100,000." San Bernardino
County was also named as a cross-complaintant.

Recently City Council and City Staff became aware that Section 2a of City Ordinance
No. 73 was in conflict with the provisions of the California Vehicle Code, Section
23115. The City Ordinance currently requires any loose cargo in any vehicle to be
"secured in such manner as to prevent depositing litter on public or private
property." Section 23115 requires any vehicle transporting waste of any kind or
anything being transported to a dump site for disposal be "totally covered in a
manner which will prevent the load or any part of the load from spilling or falling
from the vehicle." Staff recommends that City Council amend that portion of the
City Ordinance to be in comformance with the wording of the California Vehicle Code.
Staff recommends that Council:

FUNDING IS REQUIRED X
FUNDING IS NOT REQUIRED
At the City Council meeting of February 23, 1984, Council approved motion CC 84-36
by Mayor Pro Tempore Rigley, seconded by Mayor Grant, that the City budget $1,828
per month to support the Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce in publishing a monthly
newsletter starting with the April edition.
City Manager recommended Council approve funding for the newsletter but allow time
for the staff to determine how funding can be made available for the remainder of
the year as this was not a budgeted item and it needed to be established so that
proper fiscal controls can be maintained for City public funds. The Finance
Department has been directed to set up a line item for money approved by the Council
for the Chamber of Commerce expanded newsletter in NON -DEPARTMENTAL line item
10-4190-221 Chamber newsletter. The amount for the remainder of the Fiscal Year
1983-84 is $5,484. This will be $1,828 per month for April through June, 1984.
When the Council approved the appropriation they did not clarify the disbursement of
the money. The staff and Finance Department need guidance from you as to how it
should be handled.
1. Is the money to be used only for printing? Will the City receive an invoice
directly from the vendor? As you know, the City requires a purchase order and
at least three bids before we can choose a vendor to print the letter.
2. Will the Chamber submit their own invoice for $1,828 each month or for the full
amount for the fiscal year and will the City receive a vertification as to how
the money was spent?
3. Are we giving the money to the Chamber in one lump sum as a donation to use as
they see fit? If so, will we require a quarterly financial statement?
Council should act on this immediately so the Finance Department can proceed and
release any funds to the Chamber as this will be reviewed as a part of the City
audit at the end of the fiscal year.
Staff recommends that the Council:
APPROVE OPTION 3, GIVING THE MONEY TO THE CHAMBER IN ONE LUMP SUM AS A DONATION TO
USE FOR THE CHAMBER'S EXPANDED NEWSLETTER. FURTHER, THE CITY WILL REQUIRE A
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT FROM THE GRAND TERRACE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

SUBJECT CITIZEN COMPLAINT -- LARRY HALSTEAD
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
On Thursday, February 9, 1984, Mr. Halstead addressed the Grand
Terrace City Council as a concerned citizen. Mr. Halstead related
that he had witnessed an injury traffic collision in front of his
business. He stated that he was deeply concerned in that the deputy
did not arrive until approximately twenty minutes after his wife had
called the Sheriff's Office to report the incident. He further related
that upon arrival of the officers he felt that their actions were
inappropriate in that they did not light a flare for approximately ten
minutes after arrival; did not maintain efficient traffic control; and
that they asked unimportant questions of him during their interview.
Investigation into the incident revealed that we received the telephone
call from a Mrs. Andrews of Accent Printing, 22675 Barton Road, at
approximately 1802 hours. She advised the Desk Officer that there
was an injury traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a vehicle.
She further advised that her husband was at the scene. The Desk
Officer told her to stay on the line and told the dispatcher of the
call and to dispatch units to the scene. He then obtained the perti-
nent information from her such as the address she was calling from,
telephone number, etc. Mrs. Andrews seemed excited and the deputy
reassured her several times that help was on the way and that the
information he was seeking from her was necessary. He felt that she
seemed to understand and did not seem agitated.
Our dispatcher radioed both the Grand Terrace and Loma Linda Knits
as well as a Senior Deputy at 1803 hours. She also notified the
Communications Center for medical aid. They indicated that they
dispatched the Grand Terrace Fire Station and Howard's Ambulance
at 1804 hours.
Captain Phil DeClerk of the Grand Terrace Fire Station was contacted
by Sergeant May who related that they had received the call regarding
the collision from a Mrs. McIntire of the Azure Hills Church. He
advised that his crew was on the truck and leaving the fire station
when they received the call from the Communications Center at 1804
hours. Captain DeClerk stated that they arrived at the scene at
1805 hours.
The Grand Terrace (Deputy Henry Jones), Loma Linda (Deputy Lee
Watkins) and Senior Deputy (Fred Daily) Units arrived six minutes
after the Fire Department, at 1811 hours. All of the units arrived

Page two/CITIZEN COMPLAINT--LARRY HALSTEAD
within approximately 30 seconds of each other. The Grand Terrace
Deputy was met by Mr. Halstead. The Loma Linda Unit set up a pattern
of traffic cones and proceeded to assist in the investigation. The
Senior Deputy set up flare patterns and maintained traffic control.
The Grand Terrace Deputy indicates that Mr. Halstead produced the
wallet and drivers license of the driver of the motorcycle along
with miscellaneous papers. During the course of the investigation
he interviewed Mr. Halstead. He asked the standard questions which
are normal of any investigation, such as residence address, date of
birth, etc. Mr. Halstead became slightly hostile in his attitude
stating he didn't think that had anything to do with the young man
being hurt and advising the officer that he worked in the print shop
and that he could come over and get it later. The officer could see
that Mr. Halstead was visibly upset and did not push the issue,
advising him that he only needed the information for his report and
to tell him what he had observed. The information was then written
down and the officer continued with his investigation.
Captain DeClerk advised that he heard the officer questioning people
and that he did not hear anything out of line. He did advise, however,
that there was a person at the scene who appeared to be unhappy
because the officers were not at the scene immediately. He said he
overheard a statement made by the subject which was, "Damn cops,
they're never here when you need them."
Captain DeClerk was very supportive of the officers and felt they did
a good job in handling the incident. He stated that upon their arrival
they immediately set up cone and flare patterns and maintained traffic
control. He further advised that the response time of the officers
was not an issue, but that the ambulance had arrived much later,
probably 10 to 15 minutes after the arrival of the deputies.
It is recognized that Mr. Halstead was visibly upset and that in
these types of situations minutes seem like hours. We have strived
to obtain good response times for the City of Grand Terrace and will
continue to work on them in the future. We are also very pleased
with the excellent working relationship we have with the personnel at
the City Fire Station. The teamwork between the two units in handling
these types of situations has been very rewarding.
Contact will be made with Mr. Halstead to enlighten him on the
response times, the need for the information solicited and the role
of the Fire Department in providing medical attention to the injured
and the Sheriff's Department in traffic control and investigation.
Submitted for your information.

SUBJECT TRAFFIC COLLISIONS AT BARTON ROAD AND PALM, GRAND TERRACE
I checked the station traffic records and have determined that
from January 1, 1983 thru February 15, 1984, there have been
four reported traffic accidents at Barton Road and Palm.
The first occurred September 8, 1983 and involved an out-of-
town person who was unfamiliar with the road. She had been driving
west on Palm, failed to turn and ran into the planter. The primary
collision factor was listed as failure to drive on the right side
of the roadway.
The second accident occurred October 4, 1983 when a local citizen,
whoclaimed to be unfamiliar with the road,ran into the planter
while driving westbound on Palm.
These collisions with the planter occurred at night with people
unfamiliar with the intersection. The driver in the second
collision remarked that the intersection was dark and he had not
seen the divider.
Two other accidents occurred at the intersection, one on 1/17/84
and the other on 2/9/84; however, these involved vehicle versus
vehicle and were definite right-of-way violations.

GEORGE C KLOTZ
ELOUISE (DOLLY) LEWMAN

I am seeking your assistance in selecting someone from your
city to be the legislative contact/liaison person between
your city and your Senator and Assemblyman within your
district.
The steering committee for the League's Task Force on long-
term financing for cities and counties feels it is important
to have someone from each of our cities as a contact person.
A close, personal working relationship with your legislative
representatives would be very helpful toward accomplishing
major long-term revenues and financing for our cities.
We would appreciate your selection at this time. In order
to help expedite the process, would you please send the name
of your official to the League of California Cities,
1400 "K" Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, Attn: Tracy A. Morgan,
Research Assistant. I would appreciate a copy being sent
to me, c/o the Montclair City Hall, as I have been asked
by the League to coordinate this program for our division.
I have enclosed a copy of the various legislators for our
cities. Prospects look favorable for getting legislation
this year on this matter, so we do need your help and the
support of your legislator.
Sincerely,
HAROLD M. HAYES
Mayor
