wrote to the Councilmembers strongly opposing the sale and discharge of fireworks in
the City of Grand Terrace
Barbara Pfen nighausen, 22111 Ladera Street, stated that she is for youth activities She
opposes the ordinance, however, if it is approved she hopes that literature will be

ordinance that currently exists

and will try it for one year He stated that he would like to see the 200 foot set back
from brush and grass included in the ordinance
Mayor Pro Tem Buchanan, stated that if it is the council's pleasure they can act on the
Ordinance and adopt it if that is the decision tonight and ask staff to work with the fire
department in coming up with an amendment or modification that adequately addresses
the brush distancing issue
Councilmember Sinelev, stated that his concern is the safety issues
Councilmember Garcia, stated that this has been by far the hardest issue that has come
before her since she has been a councilmember She wants to do what is best for the
community Her decision was based on the number of calls that she received from
opposing residents She takes pride in the community and she cares about Grand Terrace
and respects its heritage. She respects the elders in the community and she feels that
when they give good justification for why something should be the way it is she listens
She stated that she is committed to helping the youth and is sincere when she says she
wants to help out and she donated $150 00 She feels that there would be more people
that would want to help out She suggested having a Grand Terrace Youth Task Force
that would include local organizations She stated that she didn't realize that the youth
organizations were having financial problems She expressed her concern with how fast
tlus change took place and feels that change needs to be researched to see if it is what
is best for our community She also stated that cities that allow fireworks are in the
minority She stated that if the Council chooses to adopt this ordinance she will be a
supporter and wants the City of Grand Terrace to have the best and safest fireworks to
ensure that nothing happens She does not want to see this issue divide the community
She read a letter that contained fifty-three signatures of Little League Parents Against
Grand Terrace Fireworks Fundraiser She also read an excerpt of a letter that she felt
are her sentiments
Mayor Pro Tem Buchanan, stated that he has mixed feelings regarding this issue,
however, he is willing to try it for one year for the benefit that it may bring on an
experimental basis Both sides have made strong points He stated that safety related
information is available with every sale that is made Training is available for the
organizations that will be selling fireworks and training will also be available to city
staff, fire, and law enforcement personnel They have educational videos that can be put
on the community access channel prior to 4th of July When people purchase the
fireworks they are provided bilingual instructions on how to use fireworks safely He
will support the ordinance as it is drafted, however, he agrees with Councilmember
Hilkey that it is a good idea to have staff work with the fire department to explore some
future modifications to the ordinance prior to the 4th of July with regard to some clear
delineation of set back requirement from brush areas This is going to work or not work
based on the responsibility of the parents He expressed his belief that Grand Terrace
has very responsible parents in its community and is willing to put his faith in that

SUBJECT COMPUTER PURCHASE SEWER MAPPING PROJECT
FUNDING REQUIRED XX
DISCUSSION:
Staff is presently in the process of automating many of our systems and data to meet the
demands of the future This includes utilizing computer applications and engineering
programs to bring greater efficiency and access to much of the information which is
currently either stored in files or is manually drawn by draftspersons
A project which staff would like to commence is the mapping of our sewer collection
system using the Computer Aided Drawing program known as AUTOCAD This
engineering project would entail the transfer of all of our paper maps on to a digital
format This project will provide a number of benefits
1 Provide a comprehensive map of our collection system and create ease of access to the
most up to date maps
2 Create a vehicle to easily update repairs to the system without the need of a drafts
person to re -draw maps
3 Allow for the automation of the sewer cleaning program
4 Create a data source for our collection system management
A key benefit for this mapping project is the cost for the actual mapping of the system.
The City currently has a volunteer, Bntsy Wier who is a trained CAD Operator who is
willing to map the system at no cost The key is to be able to provide the computer to
allow the actual mapping to occur
The costs for this system are as follows
0 Computer Purchase $4,211 00 for a CAD ready 200mhz computer
0 Software- Purchase of GIS viewing software $1,000
Staff has previously budgeted the funds to purchase AUTOCAD Release 13, which will
enable the City draw the system The computer purchase is required due to the complexity

pnontizatton of the upcoming City budget This item has been placed on the agenda to allow that

Agency, the City has a balanced budget and a reserve fund of approximately $925,000 When
budget pnonties are established for items or services not currently in. the budget, Council will
need to identify which programs they would like to eliminate to accommodate this, or state its
intention to utilize the accumulated reserve fund

Council Member Hilkey requested that staff bring back a list of City contracts for review that are

new construction and exclude maintenance) before the City Council for approval We also bring
to Council any projects or contracts that are put out to formal bid However, there are currently
no Council policies in place to direct staff to bring items that are budgeted for back to the City
Council for approval The list of City contracts currently being handled at staff level is as
follows
• Rehabilitation contracts for single family residential rehabilitation work
