He reported that at the last SANBAG meeting there was a presentation made with regard to the efforts of the communities around the Los Angeles Airport and some of the communities in this area that are interested in seeing a httle more balanced regional effort made dealing with auport expansion issues. SANBAG adopted a resolution urging SCAG to require a regional study and approach to the expansion of air facilities, the Counties of San Bernardino and Riverside have adopted a similar resolution as well as many communities and the request has been made that cities support that effort by adopting a resolution and sending it to SCAG urging the board to require a regional look at au transportation and requested that it be placed on the next agenda for consideration if it is the desire of the Council Councilmember Garcia, reported that the Chamber Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, March 16, 1999 and that City Manager Schwab will be the speaker The Garden Club will have an arbor tour on Wednesday, March 17, 1999 The Inland Empire Division of the League of California Cities meeting will be held on March 18, 1999 at the San Bernardino Hilton She stated that the census track is very unportant and that the city should be very involved.

Request to Schedule Special Meeting for Budget Hearing CC-99-25 MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BUCHANAN, SECOND BY COUNCRIAEMBER SINGLEY, CARRIED 5-0, to schedule a special meeting City Manager's Department STAFF REPORT Council Item Meeting Date March 25, 1999 Subject Supplemental Settlement Agreement Eliminating the Booking Fee CPI Increase No Funding Required The cities in San Bernardino County have been negotiating with the County to ultimately phase out the criminal justice administrative fee, otherwise known as the booking fee Although discussions are ongoing on a phase out of the fee, the first step in this process is to eliminate the CPI increase that otherwise would have taken effect automatically on February 11, 1999 The cities and the County have agreed that if the cities sign a Supplemental Settlement Agreement, they will waive the automatic increase and keep the booking fee at the current rate of $159 72 per booking instead of the higher allowed rate of $161 96 This does not represent a substantial ` savings for the City of Grand Terrace, which will be approximately $226 annually However, overall within the County, the amount saved by cities is approximately $40,000 Thus represents a first step in the right direction toward the eventual elimination of the booking fee With the current County budgetary surplus, as well as the anticipated windfall from the tobacco lawsuit settlement, there should be opportunities to phase out booking fees over a period of time Staff Recommends That Council: Authorize the Mayor to enter into the attached Supplemental Settlement Agreement, which eliminates the February 11, 1999 criminal justice adminish ative fee increase.

Attachments COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM N063N t RESOLUTION NO. 99 - Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT: the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace calls upon the communities of Southern Cahfornia, including the City of Los Angeles; the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura; the State of California; and our congressional representatives to loin together in developing the Regional Airport Plan for Southern California that constrains LAX to operate within the rapacity of its existing facilities and develops the rapacity of the many other commercial airports in Southern California to serve the expanding air commerce marketplace. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 25th day of March, 1999. ATTEST: City Clerk of the City of Grand Terrace and of the City Council thereof. Mayor of the City of Grand Terrace and of the City Council thereof. I, Brenda Stanfill, City Clerk of the City of Grand Terrace, do hereby certify that the bmgomg Resolution was m1roduoed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace held on the 25th day of March, 1999, by the following vote: 4 ! AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Approved as to form: City Attorney City Clerk 1 P Oat ' Ay ,, t�ta at, a For those communities near to LAX, under its flight path, on the highway corridors most likely to be impacted by an expanded LAX, these questions seem readily answered There will be significant increase in congestion in our sloes, significant increase in congestion on our already highly congested highways and freeways, and a substantial increase in air pollution from an expanded LAX These facts alone make it clear that concentrating tins expanded level of airport activity at LAX places an excessive and unfair burden on all of our communities And. we believe a burden that is quite unnecessary Southern California is fortunate to have many other commercial airports in addition to LAX Most of these airports are very anxious to capture their fair share of the regional air commerce marketplace Most have the full support of communities anxious for their fair share of economic growth au commerce can bring A number of these airports operate in precisely the fastest growing areas of Southern California, while LAX operates in the slowest growing area. It makes little sense for a region which is becoming increasingly decentralized to develop an increasingly centralized airport system Instead of spending billions of our region's transportation dollars to bring the market from all over Southern California to LAX, we should develop our airports where the new markets will be We believe, that this task may be less difficult and less costly than expanding LAX s ply because these a its —*—ea-dY exist Most are already fully operational All have existing runway systems But, they all need the right boost They need a Southern Calfbrnia Regional Airport Plan which assures that all of the dollars and all of the market isn't conceded to LAX, that gives these other regional airports a fair shot at a fair share of the market They need for elected leaders to show our willingness to work together to press for the development of a regional auport plan. a plan that is safe, that is fair, and prudent That is why I am writing to you now The El Segundo City Council seeks the support and participation of every community in this region in an effort to urge the development of a regional airport plan that addresses our common concerns about protecting the Quahty of life in our region while it creates an opportunity for every regional auport and the communities they serve to have a fair share of the growing economic pie in Southern California. We have enclosed a sample resolution for your community to consider adopting as well, supporting the need for a regional airport plan We are prepared to make a presentation to your City Council at one of its regularly scheduled meetings, if you wish The proposed expansion of LAX. Is it Safe? Is it Fair? Is it Prudent? And, Is it Necessary? Is it Safe? • It will significantly increase the air traffic congestion in the Los Angeles area • It will significantly increase traffic congestion and air pollution in communities around LAX It will more than double diesel truck traffic around the airport • It will increase air pollution from both planes and vehicles (particularly diesel trucks) in Los Angeles and surrounding cities �- • It will likely cause adverse health impacts, particularly for children and seniors Is it Fair? • It will concentrate the hardships of congestion, air pollution and noise in communities near LAX, yet it will not proportionally benefit those communities • It will disproportionately burden low income neighborhoods under the flight path and in their communities where traffic will increase • Each county should meet its own air travel needs, and bear its own burdens to the extent possible LAX neighbors should not bear every other county's burdens related to air travel • The proposed expansion at LAX will undermine the ability of airports closest to the new population growth centers to expand to accommodate their own air travelers Is it Prudent? • The $12 billion price tag makes the LAX expansion one of the most expensive airport projects ever Denver's controversial airport only cost $4 2 billion (twice what it was onginally projected to cost) • The City of Los Angeles should have learned from LA DWP, LA City Hall and MTA's excessive debt and cost overrun problems Do we really need another $8-12 billion dollar mismanaged budget? • Bonds to finance such an investment may be very risky, relying on projections of air traffic growth over 25 years or more The City of Los Angeles should have learned from LADWP's problems that predicting the next twenty-five years is dicey • The proposed expansion at LAX is the least cost effective airport investment in Southern California On a per -MAP basis, LAX will be 5-7 times more expensive than El Toro • New job projections are not exclusively dependent upon increasing capacity at LAX, but rather will result from comparable increased airport capacity elsewhere in the region Is it Necessary? • We don't have to concentrate all commercial aircraft activity at LAX There are eleven other regional airports which can be developed to absorb some of the air traffic growth • These other airports are in the areas of the greatest population and job growth LAX is in the areas of the least population and job growth • Many of these other regional airports are actively supported by their communities, often with little or no local opposition They primarily need access to regional capital to fulfill the role • Perceived congestion and inefficiencies at LAX can be handled through upgrades to existing baggage, concession, terminal and transit operations Full Disclosure: The El Segundo community has concerns regarding the expansion of LAX Admittedly, the community of El Segundo has special reasons to be concerned about the proposed expansion of Los Angeles International Airport We share our northern border with the airport We also share all of the burdens associated with having the largest airport in California as our nearest neighbor - more than our fair share of airport related noise, traffic congestion, and air pollution' As you can imagine, we watch what goes on at LAX closely When Los Angeles airport officials first released their plans for dramatically expanding activity at LAX, we asked the following questions Is it Safe? Is it Fair? Is it Prudent? Is it Necessary? Should communities in the vicinity of LAX have to bear the burden of increased congestion in our skies, increased noise from overhead aircraft and airport operations, impossible congestion on our already over -congested surface streets and freeways, significant increases in air pollution, especially from diesel trucks hauling cargo to and from the airport, the excessive costs of building an expanded LAX ...when the growth in regional air traffic may be far better served at a lower cost by improving facilities at Southern California's other commercial airports. We think not Here's part of the reason why Growth in population and employment is not evenly divided throughout Southern California. In fact: Regional Growth is Greatest in Areas Most Remote from LAX Subregion % increase in expected pop expected total % increase in population increase pop In 2020 employment North LA County: 169% 7622000 1,213,000 199% West Riverside 110% 1,225,900 2,340,800 174% County - San Bernardino 82% 1,2711,700 2,830,000 127% County Coachella Valley 81% 213,200 475,000 82% Total Growth in Areas 3,472,800 6,8581,800 Remote to LAX As rrojectea in JI;ALY Klr Regional Growth Is Slowest Nearest LAX Subregion % increase m expected pop expected total % mcrease m population increase pop In 2020 employment Gateway Cities 19% 38610500 2,368,600 40% South Bay Cities: 13% 106,600 925,600 36% Westside Cities: 11% 26,000 253,000 20% Total Growth in Areas 5199100 3,547,200 Nearest LAX AS rro)ectea in suAu K i r Even in terms of raw numbers the growth is greater in areas farthest from LAX. Consider: In twenty years, the population of North Los Angeles Court , including Santa Clanta, Palmdale and Lancaster, is expected to nearly triple It will become an urban area of over one million people Palmdale Airport will be far closer to these population centers than LAX or even Burbank. This airport can serve passengers and cargo needs of the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley as well High speed rail, should it occur and connect to Palmdale Airport will clearly expand their potential marketplace Consider: Even Orange County needs its own regional and international airport service While its population will grow more slowly than other parts of the region, Orange County's employment base is expected to grow by nearly 70% Airport planners see the growth in air traffic emanating from Orange County to be particularly significant. It makes no sense for Orange County residents and businesses to continue to seek their air commerce services at LAX, adding unnecessarily to the burdens experienced by LAX neighbors, when they could better be served in their own backyard. Consider: Ventura County will also experience very significant new growth, especially in terms of employment - again a key variable for airport planners, The newly developing commercial airport at Point Mugu can absorb much of this significant new opportunity with appropriate regional support Again, it makes little sense for this region to continue to drive to LAX for all their air travel services when resources can be made available more locally Southern California Population & Employment Growth Projections Airport Availability An increasingly decentralized region is proposed to be served by an increasingly centralized airport system, exacerbating the region's already daunting congestion and air pollution problems. .mil • The subregions with the greatest projected absolute increases in population are also remote from LAX and have six underutilized airports • The exception is the city of Los Angeles itself However, much of the City of Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley for example, is actually quite remote from LAX Subregion Airports Population 1994 2020 Increase % San Bernardino Norton George Ontario 1,5583 2,8300 1,2717 82% Los Angeles City LAX 3,6567 4,8909 1,2342 34% West.
