SUBJECT Subsidize new monument sign, refurbish existing wall signs along with related
landscaping, and facade painting for the Terrace Town Center located at 22545
Barton Road.
RECOMMENDATION Allocation of $7,000 00 from previously approved budget.
Staff has been working closely with the tenants, and property owner through the property manager, to produce a sign
program that conforms to the Barton Road Specific Plan and is feasible to the tenants in the center The proposed
monument design was the result of two Planning Commission workshops with the final concept approved on April 4, 1996
(please review monument concept on Attachment A) The proposal requested today consists of 2 parts 1) monument and
wall signs, 2) landscaping and facade painting First part consist of a 50% subsidy for the fabrication of a new monument
sign and renovation of existing wall signs for all existing center tenants as of March, 1996 The subsidy will be available
for one year, but staff will try to have the signs installed as soon as possible including tenant signs and monument sign
The property manager has been collecting the tenant's and owner's share of the costs which will be held by the City
Finance Department until the signs have been finalled and approved for payment authorized by the Community
Development Department. Second part consist of funds not to exceed $2,500 for related landscaping and facade painting
Total funds requested not to exceed $7,000 00 Please note that $10,000 00 is currently budgeted

Advertising Inc Their estimates were respectively $9,027 20, $24,497 85, and $8,665 02 The Welker Electric Signs was
selected due to its low costs, relevant experience, and understanding of the work program
Staff recommends the Grand Terrace Community Redevelopment Agency to allocate a 50% subsidy for the fabrication
of a new monument sign and renovation of existing wall signs for all existing center tenants at the Terrace Town Center
by accepting the selection of Welker Electric Signs to complete the work with approximately $4,513 paid by the

DISCUSSION
Presented for the consideration of the City Council is a revised Fee Ordinance for all City Fees, Taxes and Fines
The proposed changes in the fees are based on a general review by staff of the fees charged versus the actual
costs of providing the services
A key justification for the changes is simple, most fees have not been modified since the City incorporated in
1978 Some changes in the proposed Ordinance are also based on recent legal rulings and/or the simple
reorganization of the location of the fees Attachment A highlights the changes and allows for a comparison of
the, existing versus the proposed fees.
Generally, the key revisions will occur in the following areas
1 Building Department and Public Works
2 Planning
3 Sewer and Wastewater
4 Charges for Duplication
The following is an overview of the proposed changes and the justifications for each.
Buddine and Public Work :
The main fee increases will occur in the area of charges by the Building Department for penmt& The typical
increase is approximately 15%. Most of the fees were previously adopted in 1978 following the incorporation of
the City
Generally, the City's fees are the lowest in the County and in most cases are 50% of those costs charged by the
County of San Bernardino Staff is recommending an arbitrary adjustment to the existing to reflect an inflation
factor which has occurred over the past 18 years and to bring the charges closer in line with the actual costs of
providing the inspection services.
Plannrnr,
The only change in the area of Planning charges is the addition of fines for Commercial Vehicle Parking in
remdentral areas The fine saucture created will enable citations of $25, $50 and $100
Fees under taus section have also been re -ordered throughout the Ordinance with no changes This has been done
to better define the fees and assist staff and the public

CRA ITEM () COUNCIL ITEM (XX) MEETING DATE May 23, 1996
SUBJECT INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
Recommendation
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
BACKGROUND
In March, 1995, the City Council authorized staff to embark on a number of tasks in the area of sohd waste
management in order for the City to begin coming into compliance with the California Integrated Waste
Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) These actions included as follows
1 Conduct a comprehensive review of the existing solid waste programs for compliance with AB 939 and
the submitted Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE)
2 Provide the required notice to all Commercial and Industrial Hauler's pursuant to the Public Resources
Code indicating thew removal from operating in the City of Grand Terrace beginning July, 2000
3 Begin the development of a revised "Integrated Waste Management Ordinance" which would modify the
existing Municipal Code to allow the City to come into conformance with AB 939 and allow the
flexibility to enforce the provisions of AB 939 within the City
In September, 1995, the Council further acted by directing staff to notify the City's existing residential refuse
hauler, BFI/Loma Linda Disposal that pursuant to the existing franchise, the City was providing the required
five (5) year franchise termination nonce This was formally done, pursuant to franchise requirements, m
October, 1995
DISCUSSION
In order to begin the process of complying with AB 939, staff has developed and is recommending the
adoption of the attached Integrated Waste Management Ordinance This document has been developed as a
comprehensive revision and replacement for Chapter 5 42 of the Municipal Code dealing with "Garbage
Collection "
The main changes to the Code represent a need to initiate language and regulation pursuant to the many
changes AB 939 has brought to the entire way refuse is now handled It also initiates certain requirements
upon residents, businesses and haulers which reflect the need for information and conduct which will allow the
City to stay in compliance with the provisions of AB 939
The most substantive changes to the existing municipal code provisions include as follows
1 The City is deemed the provider of the services (either through service or a contract)
2 Franchising and permit authority will now cover all areas of waste collection including residential,
commercial, industrial, special event and household hazardous waste The existing code only allows
franchising and permitting for residential collection
3 All franchisees or permitees are required to pay the City a fee of not less than 10% of the gross revenue

SUBJECT SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE PROPOSAL BFI/LOMA LINDA DISPOSAL INC
Recommendation*
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
BACKGROUND
In October, 1995, City staff began a comprehensive review and analysis of the City's waste diversion and our
ability to come into compliance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) The
results were rather disturbing.
• Total diversion (Residential, Commercial and Industrial) is estimated at approximately 4% of the total
waste stream. This is in difference to our SRRE estimates of 221/o diversion since 1992 and 21% below the
State mandated diversion requirement of 25% by 1996
• Few, if any commercial businesses are presently recycling in any meaningful or measurable manner which
would benefit our diversion needs.
• In reports submitted by existing haulers, few reported any significant diversion or attempts at diversion in
the key auras of paper, green waste or construction waste.
• Record keeping by haulers currently serving Gram Terrace waste in comparison to reports developed by
the County do not match.
In response to these findings, staff established the following as key diversion goals which would be required to
meet the mandated 25% diversion and put the City on the mad to a 50% diversion by 1998 These included as
follows
1 Green Waste In an analysis of the current waste stream, green waste represents approximately 11% of the
total Initiation of a program to divert residential yard waste and commercial green would significantly
raise the diversion rate to a more manageable diversion.
2 Pier Newspaper, pink marl and commercial paper represents approximately 42% of the total waste in the
City A program will be needed to expand the current residential recycling program and begin an aggressive
multi -family and commercial paper program.
3 Waste Reduction Lrcenhves Develop a system which creates incentives for residents to reduce the amount
of waste placed at the curb
4 Increased Establish a program which closely momtors haulers and requires a comprehensive
quarterly and annual report on waste taken out of the City
Based on these goals, it was determined that the City's ability to comply with AB 939 under our current
franchise is impossible without a significant restructuring of both the franchise as well as the service
DISCUSSION -
Because the City only has one franchised hauler, BFIIUma Linda Disposal, staff requested recommendations on
ways to modify the existing services to allow compliance with AB 939, without a significant impact to our

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT COUNCIL. AGENDA ITEM #8j�
Solid Waste Franchise Proposal- BFI/Lonna Linda Deposal
Agenda Report
May 23,1996
The fact that under the existing system, the City cannot regulate our existing haulers or induce them to
implement programs poses probably the largest obstacle to the current system. If a new &anclusee were to be
selected, either the residents would be required to pay srgmficantly higher rues, or the City would be
required to implement the needed dwersron programs.
3 City will now have the ability to regulate commercial rates and collection.
4 Under our present system, haulers have no obhgation to establish any programs to assist the City in
dying with State mandates.
5 AB 939 rndemnrfication would probably not be applicable from any of the haulers.
6 If no programs are mthated by a hauler, the City would assume the responsibility and the expense for
initialing the necessary programs to come into compliance with diversion mandates
Based on these considerations, it is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to begin the development
of a fiancluse agreement with BFM oma Linda Disposal

Recommendation
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
DISCUSSION
The City has received a request from Mr David Kenny of 12292 Warbler Ave for the curb in front of his home
to be painted red and designated a no parlang area
In discussions with Mr Kenny, he has indurated that he has encountered numerous problems related to traffic
generated from Terrace frills Junior High School Primarily, they include cars blodang his driveway, damage to
sprinklers and a general nuisance due to the location of his property He is requesting the red curb to serve as a
"deterrent" to cars stopping in front of his property
Staff has indicated that the ability of the City to enforce this type of "deterrent" would probably be minimal due
to the frequency of the traffic in front of his property He has indurated that he understands this, but feels the
deterrent should help alleviate some of his problems.
FISCAL INTACT
Nfimmal costs for the repainting of the curb

That the City Council

SUBJECT AGREEMENT - DOCUMENTARY TRANSFER TAX AUDIT
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
The City of Grand Terrace receives approximately $9,000 per year (depending on real estate
sales activity) for documentary transfer taxes (GTMC Ch 3 04 020) on real estate transfers
(GTMC Ch 3 04 020) (Documentary Transfer Act R&T Sec 11911) The tax rate is $0 55/$500
value of interest or property conveyed The City receives one-half of the tax collected The
county recorder codes all transactions which will result in the credit to the City for its' portion of
the documentary transfer tax Sometimes transfer documents have incorrect name of the city on
them or the document may not name a city (i a only the county) or for whatever reason the
correct city does not get credit for the transfer tax
The county auditor/controller will then capture and summarize the data remit a warrant to the
-- City for it's share of the tax This system is susceptible to misallocation to another agency or
susceptible to no allocation altogether
Staff does not have the resources to audit documentary taxes efficiently due to the time involved
and the relatively low volume Therefore, Staff proposes that the City contract with The Hdl
Companies to perform monthly audits of real estate transfers Hdl Companies also provides this
service for many other cities and would be able to perform tins service efficiently due to the
resources available to them There is no cost outlay to the City The Hdl Companies would
review the transactions monthly and would only be entitled to a contingency fee of 25% of any
revenue recovered
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT COUNCIL
1) Approve contract for audit of documentary transfer taxes
2) Direct Mayor to execute contract with Hdl Companies to perform
audit of documentary transfer taxes

DOCUMENTARY TRANSFER TAX
REVIEWPROGRAM
PROFILE
♦ Documentary Transfer Taxes are paid on the sale of property in a City with a
' sales value of $500 or more The tax is $1.10 per $1,000 value, with 50% of the
revenue going to the County and 50% going to the City in which the sale occurred
(Some cities have adopted their own, higher tax rate)
♦ As with property taxes and sales taxes, HdLCC has found that this tax is also
susceptible to mis or non -allocation by the County. In response, an automated program
has been developed which compares real estate sales activity data with County data to
verify matching transactions, data not found on the County report suggests a missed
allocation These are submitted to the County for review and adjustment of the
allocation to the correct City.
Program commenced July 1995 as expansion of HdL Coren & Cone's Property
Tax management services
56 cities, in 11 counties have enrolled to date.
Over $350,000 in potential mis-allocations have been submitted with a
validation rate of 70+%, varying by County; over $15,000 having been validated
in San Bernardino County for seven client cities in the past ten months.
Typical findings for cities range from one to two, up to six plus, finds per
month. Revenue value derived varies based on real estate turnover and real
estate values of each community.
Contingency -based fee of 25% of County validated finds No other
retainer or up -front fees are required. An agreement form is enclosed for
consideration and action

of Alcoholic Beverage Control The applicant appealed the Planning Commission decision to the City Council
The proposed subject CUP is in front of the City Council tonight for reconsideration Please refer to revised CUP
denial resolution (Attachment A)
STAFF REVIEW
Staff recommendation was and continues to be one of approval of CUP subject to Colton Joint Unified School
District (School District) acceptance or settlement Staff recommendations are based on incorporation of all
reviewing agency comments Over the years we have consistently worked closely with the County, subregional and
other agencies, as well as the School District Staff feels that the school district is the agency with most expertise on
this subject In the event applicant and the School District can agree on conditions or settle in a possible agreement
between parties, it would be satisfactory to staff
We have tried to negotiate with the School District It seems that for them to make an exception to their "standard"
response to these CUPS contiguous to school grounds represents a liability they cannot afford to assume It would
open a dangerous precedent for them and not in the best interest of the children Staff recommends to go along with
the School District
Please note that applicant already has a beer and wine license and it would not be affected by this determination
Please refer to staff recommended resolution (Attachment B)

AGENDA ITEM - NEW BUSINESS
**Modification of City Manager's Benefit Package
Proposal
Purchase or Lease a city vehicle for the City Manager to facilitate the business of the City
throughout the area To facilitate this action I am proposing
• Eliminate the current $200 a month car allowance for the City Manager
• Approve an appropriation of $225 a month from the City's General Fund and the
Redevelopmnet Agency
• Purchase through the Sheriffs Department's Purchasing a suitable vehicle
*Significant Savings and vehicle service contract available this option
This modification is to be implemented as soon as possible or affective June 1, 1996
** Supporting Documentation - A letter from Councilman Jun Smgley for your review
COUNCIL AG€fdiSA 17ElUI # 9-F
Recommendation
I am proposing under new business for the May 23rd Agenda that we
modify Tom's Benefit Package to include a city car for his use To
facilitate this, we will
• Ehmmate Tom's $200 a month car allowance
• Purchase through the Sheriffs Department a Ford Crown Victoria (The
Sherff s Dept gets a significant reduction in cost because of volume
purchases)
t • Along with the purchase will come a 100,000 mile service contract
through Ford Motor Corp
0 The purchase will be funded 50% City, 50% redevelopment agency
I believe it is time to bring Tom up to the Standard that all other City
Managers receive throughout the county The cost amounts to an approx
3% raise for Tom, but of more significance, it allows Tom to represent our
city as an equal I think this request is within the realm of prudent budget
management and the benefits will far out weight the insignificant additional
annual costs
Please review the attached Agenda Item and I respectfully request your
support at the next council meeting on this issue
