5.COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Jackie Mitchell
Congratulated Council Member Darcy McNaboe on her award that she received from Assembly Member
Brown. She attended The Rec Center grand opening and thanked all of the volunteers that do so much.
Her son is taking guitar lessons at The Center. She announced that soccer sign-ups will be held
Saturday at Rollins Park. She received some comments and concerns from residents with regard to the
homeless population that seems to have increased in town and feels that it needs to be addressed. She
also indicated that residents are closely monitoring the spending. She suggested that the City consider
looking at other public safety agencies in a effort to save money.
Councilmember Sylvia Robles
She feels that people are driving faster and aren't stopping when they should be. She encouraged
everyone to be courteous. She also encouraged residents to pick up after their pets when walking the
neighborhoods. She indicated that she and Council Member McNaboe sat on an Ad-Hoc Committee and
she thanked the Council for their confidence and the opportunity to participate in this process. She
announced that Rex Edmundson passed away and requested that the meeting be closed in his memory
as well as Melissa Ann Smith and expressed her condolences.
Councilmember Darcy McNaboe
She appreciated the presentation that was given by the LAFCO Representative. The facts of
disincorporation were presented. Disincorporation is not a consequence of circumstance, it is a
deliberate choice which must be made after careful consideration by the City's residents. It comes with a
price tag and it would require, if that happened, that a tax would be passed by the residents on
themselves. It is not a remedy for lack of funds. As a potential revenue measure is considered in the
future, we know that as a community we may choose to enact local revenue measures to maintain a
certain level of services in the City but failing to do that will not result in disincorporation. Instead it will
result in a radical change in the way and amount of service that the City provides. She appreciates the
input that the Council has received so far and she looks forward to more, as discussions progress. The
site of the former plating company on Main Street appears to be cleaned up and complete. She is
interested in knowing what possible uses can be used for this piece of property. She requested
information on the graffiti removal procedures in the City. She has notices an increased amount of graffiti
in town. She thanked the community for their support of the Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast.
Community Development Director Richard Shields
Responded that the City does not remove graffiti on private property unless the property owner gives the
City permission. If the City removes the graffiti, recycled paint is used. The Sheriff's Department is
looking into the increased graffiti.

event. He also attended The Rec Center grand opening.
Mayor Walt Stanckiewitz

Motion carries all ayes
At this time the elected committee leadership took their positions and Mr. Kenneth Henderson Chaired
the remainder of the meeting.
Determination of Committee Meeting Schedule: Lengthy consideration was given to the best time and
location to hold regular meetings. The committee decided that to accomplish the tasks set before us
regular weekly meetings would be required. Mrs. Brodbeck indicated that meeting on Wednesdays
presented a challenge for her as it required her to find a babysitter, but that she was willing to work
with the committee if that was the only time they could meet. Mrs. Adams ruled out several other
options as she had existing engagements on those nights, and she requested that either herself or Mr.
Elam be present to answer any questions the committee may have.
The Committee ultimately determined that Wednesday nights at 6:30 would be the best time to meet
and Mrs. Adams agreed to check the availability of the Community Room for future meetings.
Review of Committee's Scope of Work: Mrs. Adams presented the committee with Council Resolution
2013-13 which established the Ad Hoc Budget Advisory Committee and defined its scope of work. Some
committee members felt the scope of work was too narrow and did not allow the committee enough
flexibility to consider outside options or hybrid options. Mrs. Adams again reaffirmed the committees
scope of work, but indicated that the Council was looking for ideas and would welcome hybrids or
outside ideas if the committee felt that was their recommendation. She also cautioned that city staff
may not have time to fully research the ramifications and potential of any outside ideas before May 30.
Questions on presented material from April 22nd Budget Workshop: Several questions were asked by
committee members regarding the Waste Water fund and negations with the City of Colton, the amount
of funds that would be needed to maintain a healthy city, cuts that have already been implemented,
and education of the public.
Motion: by Mr. McConnell Second by Mr. Rodriguez
To establish as a primary goal of the committee to find solutions to save the city of
Grand Terrace and avoid disincorporation.
Motion carries all ayes

Budget Advisory Committee
Meeting Minutes May 1st, 2013
City Hall Community Room
22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, CA 92313
Committee Members Present: Christina Brodbeck, Mark Cvikota, David Fisher, Earl Fraser, Kenneth
Henderson, William Hussey, Roger Kowalski, Jeffrey McConnell, Manuel Rodriguez, Frank Roppolo,
Pauline Roque, Ryan Stephens
City Staff Present: Betsy Adams, City Manager (partial meeting), Steve Elam, Finance Department,
Cynthia Fortune, Finance Manager
Meeting was called to order at 6:30 by Chairman Kenneth Henderson
Staff Report: Mrs. Adams indicated that a final determination from the Department of Finance in
Sacramento was due today, but by the start of the meeting the City had not received it. Mrs. Adams told
the committee that any significant decisions or impacts to the General Fund would be communicated
with the Budget Advisory Committee at the next meeting.
General Discussion of LAFCO Presentation: The Committee at large discussed the presentation by
LAFCO regarding disincorporation. It was noted that the Committee had already voted that its primary
goal was to remain an incorporated city. The Committee also highlighted that the original LAFCO Audit
for the City's application for incorporation, had recommended a 6% utility tax be presented to voters
within the first few years of incorporation to maintain minimum city services. Many committee
members expressed that disincorporation would not only be lengthy, but was also likely to cost the
citizens more than maintaining the City's current status. Comments by the public and by the committee
stressed the importance of educating citizens of the true cost of disincorporation.
Review of the City's Expenditures: The committee seemed to have differing views of whether they
wanted to actually review the City's expenditures in detail. Some members suggested that we were
charged to simply look at ways to balance and maintain the current services provided while other were
adamant that we needed to look at the expenditures to see if further cuts could also be made. The Chair
suggested we take a motion and vote to see if it was the Committee's desire to have a thorough review
of the city's expenditures.

Motion: by Mr. McConnell Second by Mr. Rodriguez
To review the City's expenditures
Motion carries with Mr. Fisher, Mr. Kowalski, Mr. Cvikota, and Mrs Brodbeck voting no.
Mr. McConnell presented to the committee a Proposed Concept for the sale of the Child Care Program
and to use the one time funds to pay down City's debt. The proposal indicated that the property may be
able to provide $800,000 in one time funds that could be applied to the City Hall mortgage balance. If
the one time funds were applied and the existing debt refinanced, it could conceivably reduce annual
mortgage payments by $185,000.
Several committee members expressed concern about selling a self funded program for one time funds.
Mrs. Adams and Mr Elam also indicated that the Child Care Program provided nearly $200,000 in cost
allocations. Some of those allocations could be reduced from City's expenditures, while others would
remain and put some additional strain on the General Fund.
Motion: by Mr. Stephens Second by Mrs. Brodbeck
To recommend that the Child Care Center continue as long as the program remains self-
funding.
Motion carries with Mr. McConnell and Mr. Fraser voting No.
Review of Revenue Measures as presented in the Five Year Stabilization Plan:

Motion was withdrawn to allow for more discussion
Motion: by Mr. Cvikota Second by Mr. Fisher
To review and discuss each of the revenue measures presented individually
Motion carries all ayes
The committee reviewed each of the revenue measures as presented in the Five Year Stabilization Plan.
Each of the three options, Sales Tax, Parcel Tax, and the User Utility Tax were weighed and discussed.
The committee noted that the Sales Tax and Parcel tax would both pass through other governing entities
which could subject the funds to delay. It was noted that the Sales Tax, even at the maximum
permissible level, would only reach funding level 1.
The committee discussed at length the User Utility Tax and the amount it would cost the average
household. It was noted that the User Utility Tax would vary per household depending on each families

Budget Advisory Committee
Meeting Minutes May 8th, 2013
City Hall Community Room
22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, CA 92313
Committee Members Present: Christina Brodbeck, Mark Cvikota, David Fisher, Earl Fraser, Kenneth
Henderson, William Hussey, Roger Kowalski, Jeffrey McConnell, Manuel Rodriguez„ Ryan Stephens
Committee Members Absent: Pauline Roque, Frank Roppolo
City Staff Present: Betsy Adams, City Manager, Steve Elam, Finance Director, Cynthia Fortune, Finance
Manager
Meeting was called to order at 6:30 by Chairman Kenneth Henderson
Approval of Prior Meeting Minutes:
Motion: by Mr. McConnell Second by Mr. Fraser
To approve minutes from the meeting of 4-24-13
Motion carries with all ayes
Public Comment: Mr. Doug Wilson commented wondering why the nearly 20% potion of any land sold
from the RDA was not included in the five year stabilization plan. He also questioned the validity of pg.
24 on the Five Year Stabilization Plan stating that he believed the city could save more than $500,000 by
outsourcing staff.
Staff Report: Mrs. Adams informed the committee that the DOF Final Determination was a great
success, and the City was required to turn over $1.6 million in funds. However, this upheld the City's
position since their initial filling and overturned the States preliminary finding that the City owed
upwards of $13 million. Impacts on the General Fund were going to be mixed and Mrs. Adams indicated
we would need to defer further discussion until presented to Council on May 14th. Depending on
Council's actions at that meeting there maybe some other impacts to the General Fund.
Furthermore, Mrs. Adams indicated that the introduction of the proposed Budget was going to be
delayed until June 11th.
Lastly, she reported that interviews with the potential Election Advisors (EA) were going well and that
they would like to meet with the Committee. The EA had requested a general recommendation as
opposed to something very specific.

Discussion Regarding Essential vs. Discretionary Services: The committee discussed at some length the
desire to find if there were any other discretionary items that could be cut before recommendation of a
tax. The discussion seemed to be floating between several ideas when Mr. Stephens requested that only
a few discretionary items existed in the budget and that the committee should look at each one
individually. The Chair requested a vote.
Motion: by Mr. Stephens Second by Mr. McConnell
To review the major discretionary items individually and entertain any motions to
recommend ending those programs
Motion carries with all ayes
Parks: No motion made to close parks.
Senior Center: Mr. Fraser requested discussion of this item. City staff informed him that the
Senior Center was a partnership between the city and another agency, and that
the primary cost of the Center bourn by the City was for Utilities. No motion
made to close the Senior Center.
Sherriff Contract: Mr. Rodriguez felt that the level of Law enforcement in Grand Terrace was
higher per capita than other surrounding cities.
Motion: by Mr. Rodriguez
To invite Sherriff representative to explain the need for current level of service.
Motion dies due to lack of a second
Outsource Staff: No motion made to outsource remaining City Staff
Public Comment: Mr. Doug Wilson indicated that the presentation of the
question was in error. He believed the committee should have reviewed each
department as opposed to voting on outsourcing all staff at once.
Day Care Center: It was noted that the Committee was already on record voting to continue the
Child Care program as long as it remains self sufficient.
One of the Committee members also commented that the City Council's Wish list items would be
considered discretionary and suggested those be discussed as well.
Motion: by Mr. Stephens Second by Mr. McConnell
To recommend City Council put their Wish List items on indefinite hold until the
structural deficit was resolved.
Motion carries with all ayes

Revenue Ideas Not Presented by Staff: At this time the committee desired to hear from members of
the public and committee members who had revenue ideas that had not been presented in the Five
Year Stabilization Plan.
Mrs. Brodbeck highlighted the need for a Part-Time Grant Writer for the City that could help provide
additional funds for specific projects. She felt that the potential benefit of the Grant Writer could
outweigh additional costs. Mr. Sheilds, the City's Director of Economic Development, who was
attending as a member of the public, indicated that grants typically require matching funds which the
City would not have at its disposal. Mr. Elam and Mr. Kowalski also indicated that most grants require
significant administrative support which the City may not be in a position to provide. Mr. McConnell
suggested that there may be experienced individuals within the community that would be willing to
volunteer their grant writing services.
Motion: by Mrs. Brodbeck Second by Mr. Fraser
To recommend City Council contract with a part-time or volunteer Grant Writer after
the special election.
Motion carries with Mr. Stephens voting no
User Utility Tax (UUT) Details and Recommendation Refinement: A general discussion was had
regarding the UUT and what the Committee should recommend. Due to the request of the Election
Advisor it was determined that the committee who not be too specific in its recommendation and
simply recommend the type of revenue enhancement measure they felt was best and what funding
level the City should attempt to achieve.
Motion: by Mr. McConnell
To recommend the UUT at funding level 1.
Motion dies due to lack of a second
Motion: by Mr. Stephens Second by Mr. Kowalski
To recommend City Council consider the UUT at a level 3 funding level, and consider the
advice of the Election Advisor regarding community support.
Motion carries with Mr. McConnell voting no
Agenda Items for Next Meeting:
Motion: by Mr. Kowalski Second by Mr. Stephens
To have a Staff Report regarding the Election Advisor Interview Process
Motion carries with all ayes

Motion carries with all ayes
Staff Report: Mrs. Adams informed the committee that the second interview with the potential Election
Advisor went very well and a recommendation will be presented to council on the May 28th City Council
meeting. This Election Advisory also requested a meeting with the Budget Advisory Committee.
Mrs. Adams also referred the Committee to the upcoming City Council Meeting and urged the
committee to review the agenda item 8E in the council packet and review the four options presented.
Consideration of supplemental measures, projects, and programs to be considered: This portion of the
meeting was intended to allow committee members to present any other alternative idea that they
would like to discuss and consider in our recommendation to City Council.
Mr. Rodriguez presented information on a bill in the United States Senate called the BUILD Act of 2013.
The legislation is intended to reauthorize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Brownfield
Program. Mr. Rodriguez wondered if this may be of assistance in developing vacant commercial zones
in the City. Mr. Stephens asked Mrs. Adams if any Federally recognized brownfeilds exist within city
limits. She responded that there were none. Mr. Rodriguez suggested that City staff should still review
the information in case there was something that the City could benefit from.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:May 28, 2013 Council Item
TITLE:Adoption of Resolution Establishing Appropriations Limit for
Fiscal Year 2012-13
PRESENTED BY:Steve Elam, Finance Department
RECOMMENDATION:(1) Select the Change in Per Capita Personal Income of
3.77% as the Price Factor for the Fiscal Year 2012-13
Appropriations Limit Calculation;
(2) Select the Change in San Bernardino County Population
of 0.86% as the Population Change Factor for the Fiscal
Year 2012-13 Appropriations Limit Calculation; and
(3) Adopt Resolution Establishing Appropriations Limit of
$10,662,663 for the City of Grand Terrace for Fiscal Year
2012-13.
BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved the Gann Spending Limitation
Initiative (Proposition 4) establishing Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. Article XIIIB
sets limits on the amount of tax revenues that the State and most local governments
can appropriate within a given fiscal year. Its basic provisions are as follows:
· Each year, the State and local governments must adopt a resolution establishing
an appropriations limit, also known as the “Gann Limit”. Fiscal Year 1984-85
appropriations serve as the base for this limit, with adjustments being made
annually to reflect increases in population, the cost of living, and financial
responsibility transfers.
· Only tax proceeds are subject to the limit. Charges for services, regulatory fees,
grants, loans, donations and other non-tax proceeds are not subject to the limit.
Exemptions are also made for voter-approved debt, debt that existed prior to
January 1, 1979, and for the cost of compliance with court or Federal
government mandates.
· All tax revenues received in excess of the appropriations limit must be refunded
to taxpayers within a two-year period.
· The voters may approve an increase in the appropriations limit. For the increase
to remain in effect, however, it must be re-approved by voters at four-year
intervals.
On June 5, 1990, California voters approved the Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending
8.A
Packet Pg. 29
Limitation Act (Proposition 111), which made various amendments to Article XIIIB of the
State Constitution. The major changes, which became effective July 1, 1990, are as
follows:
· The change in the cost of living is defined to be either the change in California
per capita personal income or the change in assessed valuation due to the
addition of non-residential new construction. Previously, the change in the cost
of living was defined as the lesser of the change in the U.S. Consumer Price
Index or the change in California per capita personal income.
· The change in population is defined as either a change in the City’s population or
a change in the County’s population, whichever is greater.
· “Qualified capital outlay projects” were added to the items exempted from the
appropriations limit. Qualified capital outlay projects must have a useful life of
ten or more years and a cost that equals or exceeds $100,000.
· Tax revenues received in excess of the appropriations limit must be refunded to
taxpayers only if the limit is exceeded over a two-year period.
The annual calculation of the Appropriations Limit must be reviewed as part of the City’s
annual financial audit.
DISCUSSION:
As indicated above, Proposition 111 made several changes to the method used to
calculate the Appropriations Limit. The change in the cost of living (or “price factor”) is
defined to be either the change in California per capita personal income or the change
in assessed valuation due to the addition of non-residential new construction. Following
are the two options for the City’s FY 2012-13 Appropriations Limit calculation:
1)Change in California per capita personal income (provided by California
Department of Finance): 3.77%
2)Change in Grand Terrace assessed valuation from 2011 to 2012 due to the
addition of non-residential new construction: 0.735%($5,509,991 value added
due to non-residential new construction / $749,504,246 total City secured roll
value per County Assessor’s office).
Since Option 1 (change in California per capita personal income) is a higher
percentage, it is recommended to be used as the price factor for the FY 2012-13
Appropriations Limit calculation.
The “population factor” to be used in calculating the Appropriations Limit is defined by
Proposition 111 as either a change in the City’s population or a change in the County’s
population, whichever is greater. Per information provided by the California Department
of Finance, following are the population changes from 2011 to 2012:
1)Change in Grand Terrace population: 0.73%
8.A
Packet Pg. 30
2)Change in San Bernardino County population: 0.86%
Since Option 2 (change in San Bernardino County population) is greater than the City’s
population change, it is recommended to be used as the population factor for the FY
2012-13 Appropriations Limit calculation.
Exhibit A provides the calculation of the FY 2012-13 Appropriations Limit using the
recommended price and population factors. Exhibit B identifies the revenues that are
classified as tax proceeds and those that are not classified as tax proceeds for
Appropriations Limit purposes. Exhibit C is the Department of Finance letter providing
the per capita personal income and population change information used in the
Appropriations Limit calculation.
The City’s Appropriations Limit for FY 2011-12 was $10,187,907. The recommended
change factor, as allowed by Proposition 111 due to cost of living and population
changes, is 1.0466. This results in a FY 2012-13 Appropriations Limit of $10,662,663.
The FY 2012-13 Adopted Budget contains appropriations subject to the Appropriations
Limit of $2,445,894, which is $8,216,769 below the City’s legal limit.
The annual Appropriations Limit is generally adopted in conjunction with the annual
budget adoption process. However, the FY 2012-13 Appropriations Limit has not yet
been adopted. Therefore, it is being brought forward as a fiscal year-end “clean-up”
item to ensure compliance with state law. The Appropriations Limit for FY 2013-14 will
be presented to the City Council for adoption in conjunction with the FY 2013-14 budget
adoption process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the FY 2012-13 Appropriations
Limit, as the City is safely within its legal appropriations limit for FY 2012-13.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:May 28, 2013 Council Item
TITLE:Approval of Professional Services Agreement for Election
Advisory Services
PRESENTED BY:Steve Elam, Finance Department
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Professional Services Agreement between the City
of Grand Terrace and Tramutola / Advisors for Election
Advisory Services.
BACKGROUND:
On April 22, 2013, the City Council was presented with a Five-Year Financial Analysis
and Budget Stabilization Plan, showing that the City’s General Fund has a projected
ongoing structural deficit of $1.25 million. This projected deficit cannot be overcome by
further reducing expenditures without significantly impacting services provided to the
community and the overall quality of life in the City. The Budget Stabilization Plan
presented options for increasing revenues at three different funding levels and through
three different types of tax measures.
Given the urgency of the City’s financial challenges and the need for immediate action,
on April 23, 2013, the City Council directed staff to request proposals for Election
Advisory Services from two specified companies, so that a contract could be awarded
and preliminary polling could begin promptly to obtain feedback from the City’s voters
regarding a potential tax measure and related issues. On April 23, 2013, the City
Council also appointed an Ad Hoc Committee, comprised of Council Members
McNaboe and Robles, to evaluate the Election Advisory Services proposals, interview
the two companies, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding award of
the Professional Services Agreement.
On April 24, 2013, a Request for Proposals was issued to the two specified companies
that are recognized as experts in providing Election Advisory Services for public
agencies in California: The Lew Edwards Group and Tramutola / Advisors. Both
companies submitted proposals for the requested services by the proposal submittal
deadline of May 1, 2013. The proposals were provided to the Ad Hoc Committee
members on May 2, 2013. Following a review of the proposals, interviews were
conducted with representatives from the two companies. The presidents of both
companies attended the respective interviews, along with the principals of the opinion
research firms that would lead the polling efforts. The Lew Edwards Group would be
utilizing Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3)for opinion research/polling
services and Tramutola / Advisors would be utilizing True North Research for this effort.

Packet Pg. 39
DISCUSSION:
The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) and Tramutola / Advisors (Tramutola)are both
recognized experts in providing Election Advisory Services to public agencies
throughout California. Their extensive client lists include municipalities, counties, school
districts and special districts. Both companies have impressive track records with
respect to successful tax measures. In evaluating the two companies, the Ad Hoc
Committee considered a number of factors including:
· Overall knowledge and experience of company;
· Qualifications of staff assigned to Grand Terrace engagement;
· Success rate in municipal tax measures;
· Understanding of challenges facing Grand Terrace and unique characteristics of
the community;
· Creative approaches to revenue measures;
· Perceived fit with community, City Council and staff; and
· Pricing of engagement.
The Committee’s assessment was that both companies were fairly even in most of the
rating categories but that Tramutola would be a better fit for the City with respect to the
style of the company and the strategies that would be utilized. Tramutola’s proposal
was also more favorable from a pricing standpoint as shown below:

8.B
Packet Pg. 40
Note: Tramutola’s proposal included an estimate of $1,000 for travel and related
expenses during Phase 1. Following the interview with the Ad Hoc Committee on May
13, 2013 and subsequent discussions with staff, they revised the amount to $2,000 to
ensure that adequate time is spent on-site working with the City Council and staff on
development of the public opinion poll. The previous table and attached Professional
Services Agreement reflect this revision.
The expenses as identified in the previous table do not include the cost of printed
materials and postage for public information mailers that may be sent to Grand Terrace
households and businesses.
Based on a review of the proposals, interviews of the respective companies, and
consideration of all relevant factors related to the City’s need for Election
Advisory Services, the Ad Hoc Committee has recommended that the City
Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with Tramutola / Advisors.
Expenditures to be made under the Agreement will not exceed $17,000 in Phase 1
and $28,000 in Phase 2, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $45,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $25,000 has been included in the FY 2012-13 General Fund
Non-Departmental budget (10-190-250) for preliminary Election Advisory Services
(Phase 1). Although full services leading up to a November 2013 election are expected
to cost approximately $75,000, the available funding in the FY 2012-13 budget will
enable the Phase 1 work to proceed. The remaining funding will be addressed through
the FY 2013-14 budget process.
