Opportunity to Comment on Section 4(f) De Minimis Impact Finding.
WHAT IS BEING PLANNED?
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing to improve
Interstate10 (I-10) by constructing freeway lane(s) and other improvements through all
or a portion of the 33 mile long segment of the I-10 from the Los Angeles/San
Bernardino (LA/SB) County line to Ford Street in San Bernardino County. The project
limits, including transition areas, extend from approximately 0.4 mile west of White
Avenue in the city of Pomona to Live Oak Canyon Road in the city of Yucaipa. The I-10
Corridor Project (I-10 CP) consists of a No Build Alternative (Alternative 1) and two build
alternatives (Alternatives 2 and 3). Alternative 2 would extend the existing HOV lane in
each direction of I-10 from Haven Avenue in Ontario to Ford Street in Redlands.
Alternative 3 would provide two Express Lanes in each direction of I-10 from the LA/SB
County line to California Street in Redlands and one Express Lane in each direction
from California Street to Ford Street in Redlands. Implementation of the build
alternatives would reduce congestion, increase throughput, enhance trip reliability, and
accommodate long-term congestion management of the corridor. The project is
currently expected to be open to traffic in year 2025.
WHY THIS NOTICE?
Caltrans has studied the effects this project may have on the environment and has
completed the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIR/EIS), which evaluates the potential impacts of a No-Build Alternative and two
build alternatives (Alternatives 2 and 3). This notice is to tell you a DEIR/EIS has been
prepared, it is available for you to read, and to notify you about a public meeting. The
proposed project also requires an action that is subject to the U.S. Department of

7. Report on Tree Inventory Conducted by Arbor Pro, Inc.
Administrative Management Intern Smith presented this item.
Council Member Wilson stated he noticed the justifications on the removal vs pruning
and was concerned with individuals pruning. He also wanted to know how this could be
remediated to not have individuals prune their trees.
Keith Henning, President of ArbroPro, Inc., stated that most City's do the maintenance
of the trees. He stated that cities had an ordinance in place that would fine a resident if
they trimmed or removed a city tree.
City Manager Duffey stated that the City did have an ordinance in place that stated the
tree was the responsibility of the property owner but they needed permission from the
City to cut it. The City would need to make sure to have a certified arborist cut the trees.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Zoning Code Amendment 15-01 Establishing a New Chapter
18.80 Signs
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: Read by Title Only, Waive Further Reading and Adopt AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT 15-01, TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE
GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE BY REPEALING
AND REPLACING CHAPTER 18.80 SIGNS IN ITS
ENTIRETY AND AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.40
GARAGE SALES BY REVISING SECTION 5.40.070
SIGNS
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports Goal #3, "Promote Economic Development", by updating the Sign
Code and aligning it with the City's 2030 Vision and Economic Development
Implementation Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On April 26, 2016, the City Council conducted a public hearing and voted to introduce
and move to second reading adoption of a new Sign Code Ordinance.
During the hearing, the Council made a change to require a Conditional Use Permit
related to the Off-Site Sign Program. The attached ordinance reflects that change.
An area of concern during the hearing was that the proposed ordinance did not allow
the use of real estate open house signs in the City’s right of way. Staff discussed this
with the City Attorney’s office and crafted language that would allow temporary signs in
the right of way. Provided the business meets certain criteria it would be eligible for this
type of signage. Proposed language for consideration is attached to the report.
If it is the desire to the Council to allow temporary commercial signs in the right of way,
staff would recommend re-introduction of the proposed ordinance to include new
subsections 18.80.050.D (Temporary Off-Site Commercial Signs) to allow temporary
off-site commercial signs and subsection 8.80.050.E (Exception and Appeal) for
determinations to the exception. An example of temporary off site commercial signs
would be real estate open house and yard sale signs.
If it is not the desire of the Council to add these new provisions, then staff recommends
adoption of the attached ordinance, as stated in the recommendation above.

ORDINANCE NO. _________
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
15-01, TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL
CODE BY REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 18.80 SIGNS IN
ITS ENTIRETY AND AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.40 GARAGE
SALES BY REVISING SECTION 5.40.070 SIGNS
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace, pursuant to its police power, has the
authority to take appropriate action to address concerns regarding traffic safety and
aesthetics, as they relate to signs (Metromedia Inc. v. City of San Diego, 453 U.S. 490
(1981)); and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that signs constitute speech protected
by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and by Art. 1, Sec. 2, of the
Constitution of the State of California and that its regulation of signs must be consistent
with these protections; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an uncontrolled proliferation of signs
within the City is harmful to the public’s health, safety and welfare, in that such signs are
aesthetically displeasing and constitute a traffic hazard, as drivers will be distracted by
attempting to read an excessive number of signs that are placed in a haphazard
manner; and
WHEREAS, the City has a substantial interest in regulating signs in the manner
set forth in this Ordinance, and the regulations modified and adopted hereby further the
City’s substantial interests in traffic safety and aesthetics, in particular (National
Advertising Co. v. City of Orange, 861 F.2d 246, 248 (9th Cir. 1988); Foti v. City of
Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629 (9th Cir. 1998)); and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that businesses have an interest in
having signage that effectively advertises goods or services, and that is visible to
potential customers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and
members of the public have an interest in identifying businesses, and the goods and
services they provide; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and visitors
to the City have a substantial interest in visiting, living and working in an aesthetically
pleasing city; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and all
those who travel in and through the City have a substantial interest in traffic safety
within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City can balance its interests in
aesthetics and traffic safety with the interests of businesses and consumers by limiting
off-premises commercial signs, and by limiting the time, place, and manner of
placement of commercial signs on commercial lots; and
WHEREAS, commercial speech can be regulated more stringently than
noncommercial speech; however, the City Council does recognize the need of
businesses in the City to reasonably advertise their goods and services visibly and
effectively; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance relating to the regulation of signs includes a
statement of purpose regarding the City’s substantial interest sought to be implemented
by the regulations (Desert Outdoor Advertising, Inc. v. City of Moreno Valley, 103 F.3d
814, 819 n.2 (9th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 912 (1997); Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corp. v. Public Service Commission of New York, 447 U.S. 557 (1980)); and
WHEREAS, the City intends, by adoption of these regulations, to eliminate any
exemptions and/or regulations of signs based on content, in order that its sign
regulations are content-neutral and entitled to the least restrictive constitutional analysis
(see, e.g., National Advertising Co. v. City of Orange, 861 F.2d 246 (1987) (content
based exemptions rendered the entire ordinance content based because the content of
the sign’s message determines whether or not a particular sign is prohibited or
permitted); Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of N.Y. State Crime Victims Bd., 502
U.S. 105 (1991); Police Department of the City of Chicago v. Mosley, 408 U.S. 92
(1972)); and
WHEREAS, these regulations allow on-site commercial signage while limiting off-
site advertising signs, the City Council having found that onsite commercial speech is
more valuable than offsite commercial speech, as permitted in Outdoor Systems, Inc. v.
City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604, 611 (9th Cir. 1993) and Metromedia Inc. v. City of San
Diego, 453 U.S. 490 (1981); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that, because signs are speech protected by
the United States and the California Constitutions, detailed procedures are necessary to
ensure that permits are issued or denied based on objective criteria and expeditiously
with the due process of law; and
WHEREAS, a message substitution provision has been added to the City’s sign
regulations, allowing any sign regulated by the new provisions of this Ordinance to
display a noncommercial message, so that the City’s regulations satisfy the
constitutional mandate that it not restrict noncommercial signage to a greater degree
than commercial signage.(see Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 340
F.3d 810 (9th Cir. 2003); Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604 (9th Cir.
1993); and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that a proliferation of temporary signs in the
public right-of-way can be detrimental to the aesthetic quality of the streets and
sidewalks, can interfere with traffic safety, pedestrian access to public sidewalks and
streets, and can obstruct the entrance to businesses and residences; and
WHEREAS, the City Council specifically finds that temporary commercial signs
are signs that relate to businesses for which on-premises signage do not provide
adequate advertising of the goods or services sold because for many businesses is
such that effective advertising by way of permanent on-premises signage is impractical:
the business is of a transitory and temporary nature, the business' primary and most
effective way to notify people of the available goods or services is by directing passers-
by to the location of the goods or services, and the business does not have a fixed
place of business or the goods or services themselves cannot practically be viewed
and/or sold out of one business location or any business location; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that human advertisements (as defined in this
ordinance) within public rights of way, constitute a traffic hazard by their conduct, which
distracts the attention of drivers away from the road and to a business or service; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that prohibiting commercial conduct that is
intended to, or that does in fact, attract the attention of drivers, furthers the city’s
substantial interest in traffic safety (see, e.g., Sanctity of Life Network v. California
Highway Patrol, 105 Cal. App. 4th 858, 862 (2003) (holding that protected First
Amendment speech can be restricted if it interferes with traffic,)).
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Chapter 18.80 (Signs) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Grand Terrace
Municipal Code is hereby repealed and replaced in its entirety with the following:

and by limiting the time, place, and manner of placement of commercial signs on
commercial lots; and
J. Commercial speech can be regulated more stringently than
noncommercial speech; however, the City Council recognizes the need of businesses in
the City to reasonably advertise their goods and services visibly and effectively; and
K. The City Council intends this Chapter to ensure its regulations are
content-neutral and are the least restrictive means to achieve the goals set for the
herein (see e.g., Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 135 S.Ct. 2218 (2015); and
L. These regulations allow on-site commercial signage while limiting off-site
advertising signs, the City Council having found that onsite commercial speech is more
valuable than offsite commercial speech, as permitted in Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City
of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604, 611 (9th Cir. 1993) and Metromedia Inc. v. City of San Diego,
453 U.S. 490 (1981); and
M. Because signs are speech protected by the United States and the
California Constitutions, detailed procedures are necessary to ensure that permits are
expeditiously issued or denied based on objective criteria and consistent with due
process of law; and
N. A message substitution provision has been added to the City’s sign
regulations, allowing any sign regulated by the new provisions of this Ordinance to
display a noncommercial message, so that the City’s regulations satisfy the
constitutional mandate that it not restrict noncommercial signage to a greater degree
than commercial signage.(see Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 340
F.3d 810 (9th Cir. 2003); Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604 (9th Cir.
1993); and
O. Proliferation of temporary signs in the public right-of-way can be
detrimental to the aesthetic quality of the streets and sidewalks, can interfere with traffic
safety, pedestrian access to public sidewalks and streets, and can obstruct the entrance
to businesses and residences; and
P. Temporary commercial signs are signs that relate to businesses for which
on-premises signage do not provide adequate advertising of the goods or services sold
because for many businesses is such that effective advertising by way of permanent on-
premises signage is impractical: the business is of a transitory and temporary nature,
the business' primary and most effective way to notify people of the available goods or
services is by directing passers-by to the location of the goods or services, and the
business does not have a fixed place of business or the goods or services themselves
cannot practically be viewed and/or sold out of one business location or any business
location; and
Q. Human advertisements (as defined in this ordinance) within public rights of
way, constitute a traffic hazard by their conduct, which distracts the attention of drivers
away from the road and to a business or service; and

R. Prohibiting commercial conduct that is intended to, or that does in fact,
attract the attention of drivers, furthers the city’s substantial interest in traffic safety (see,
e.g., Sanctity of Life Network v. California Highway Patrol, 105 Cal. App. 4th 858, 862
(2003) (holding that protected First Amendment speech can be restricted if it interferes
with traffic)).
18.80.020 Purpose.
A. These regulations are intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and
provide for the integrity and preservation of community aesthetics through modern
implementation of a uniform set of rules and regulations. The City of Grand
Terrace recognizes and, strongly supports, the needs of merchants and property
owners to identify their businesses through signage and other means of
advertisement. The city, further, recognizes that size, placement, number, and
design of signs significantly influences the general perception of both the
community’s visual environment and its economic health, and that signs should not
become visual distractions along public roadways. In addition, these regulations
are intended to accomplish the following:
1. Promote an economically stable and visually attractive community consistent
with the City’s goals and strategies.
2. Promote signs and graphics that are attractive, pleasing, and harmonized with
the physical character of the environment and surrounding properties, while
serving the identification needs of the business community.
3. Eliminate visual clutter while providing reasonable opportunities for adequate
identification of businesses and the goods and services they offer.
4. Prevent an inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over noncommercial
speech.
5. Direct the proper design and location of signs to reduce, or eliminate,
potential hazards and promote the safe movement of vehicles and
pedestrians throughout the city.
6. Direct persons to various activities and enterprises in order to provide for
maximum public convenience.
18.80.030 Policies for sign regulations.
The following policies regarding signage in the city are established:
A. Regulatory Interpretations. The requirements of this chapter shall not be
interpreted to nullify any easements, covenants, or other private agreements that
provide for more restrictive sign regulations than are required by this chapter.
B. Message Neutrality. It is the city’s policy and intent to regulate signs in a
viewpoint-neutral and/or content-neutral manner. The message of the sign shall

not be reviewed except to the minimum extent necessary to identify the type of
sign.
C. Message Substitution. A noncommercial message of any type may be substituted
in whole or in part for the message displayed on any sign for which the sign
structure or mounting device is authorized pursuant to this chapter. The purpose
of this requirement is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech
over noncommercial speech, or favoring of any particular noncommercial message
over any other noncommercial message.
D. In no instance may commercial or non commercial messages contain “obscene
matter” as defined in California Penal Code section 311.
E. General Prohibition. Any permanent or temporary sign not expressly permitted by
this chapter is prohibited.
F. Off-site signs are prohibited, unless specifically authorized by this Chapter.

B. Sign Height Measurement. Sign height shall be measured as the greatest vertical
distance measured from the grade at the point the sign supports intersect the
ground and any accompanying architectural features of the sign. However, if the
sign is constructed upon an artificial berm, the height of the signs, as measured
from the toe of slope or berm, shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the maximum height allowed by this chapter.
C. Calculation.
1. For wall signs, the permitted area for any sign shall be calculated based only
on the frontage or side of a building on which the sign is located.
2. When more than one business is located in a building, the allowable sign area
for each business shall be based upon the length of the lineal building
frontage occupied by that business.
D. Construction Requirements. Every sign and all parts, portions, and materials
thereof shall be manufactured, assembled, and erected in compliance with all
applicable state, federal, and city laws and regulations, including the locally
adopted building code. All signs shall comply with the following criteria:
1. All transformers, equipment, programmers, and other related items shall be
screened and/or painted to match the building or shall be concealed within
the sign.
2. All permanent signs shall be constructed of quality, low-maintenance
materials such as metal, concrete, natural stone, glass, and acrylics.

E. Clearance from Public Utility Facilities. The person erecting a sign, and the owner
of the premises, shall maintain any legally required clearance from
communications and electric facilities. A sign may not be constructed, erected,
installed, maintained, or repaired in any manner that conflicts withany rule,
regulation, or order of the California Public Utilities Commission pertaining to the
construction, operation, and maintenance of public utilities facilities.
F. Interference with Motorist Field of Vision.
1. No sign shall be located in a manner which may obstruct or interfere with the
view of a traffic signal or other traffic regulatory signs.
2. No sign shall, as determined by the city engineer, be located so as to create a
hazard to the life or property of any person using the public right-of-way.
3. Any required landscaping may be trimmed as needed to provide maximum
visibility of the sign or signs.
4. Signs shall not be located within the clear sight triangle.
G. Obstruction of Passage.
1. No sign shall be constructed so as to obstruct any required exit, including
windows, doors, fire escapes or other emergency exit of any building.
2. No sign shall be constructed or located so as to obstruct any sidewalk.
H. Sign Siting.
1. Location of Signs Attached to Buildings. Building signs may be located along
any frontage of a building that faces directly onto a public right-of-way or an
internal parking area of the site. Where the building is within 100 feet of a
residential use, signs shall not be illuminated.
2. Setback and Spacing of Freestanding Signs.
a. Where a setback exists, the minimum setback distance for freestanding
signs shall be measured from the back of the public right-of-way or side
of a driveway.
b. The minimum spacing distance between permanent freestanding signs,
excluding on-site directory signs, shall be 50 feet. The director will
review a proposed sign location on a case-by-case basis to ensure the
sign is located outside the required clear sight triangle and does not
otherwise inhibit motorist safety
I. Maintenance Requirements. Every sign, and all parts, portions, and materials
thereof shall be maintained and kept in proper repair. The display surface of all
signs shall be kept clean, neatly painted, and free from rust and corrosion. Any
cracked, broken surfaces, malfunctioning lights, missing sign copy, or other poorly

maintained or damaged portions of a sign shall be repaired or replaced within 30
days following notification by the city.
J. Sign Removal or Replacement. When a sign is removed or replaced, all brackets,
poles, and other structural elements that support the sign shall also be removed.
Affected building surfaces shall be restored to match the adjacent portion of the
structure. This requirement does not apply to routine maintenance.
K. Electronic Signs. The city finds and declares that a proliferation of electronic
display signs throughout the city, and especially located on arterial streets pose a
danger to the motoring public because of potential distraction from their change of
message, scale, format, and other physical qualities that differentiate them from
other sign types. Therefore, the City through this Sign Code limits electronic signs
to be displayed only in specified areas of freeway corridors, where the impacts on
driver safety are minimized. All electronic display signs existing in the city as of the
effective date of this ordinance, unless specifically permitted by this Code, are
declared legal nonconforming signs and may continue to operate in accordance
with section 18.80.220 (Nonconforming and abandoned signs)
1. The limitation established by this section shall not apply to manually changeable
copy signs or freeway signs.
2. Signs providing information on fuel price and grade and fueling stations, as
well as signs displaying time and temperature information shall be exempt
from this limitation on electronic display signs. Illumination levels shall
conform to section 18.80.140(A)(3) of this chapter.
Section 18.80.140 Design Standards.
A. General Sign Development and Design Requirements. The following general
design requirements shall apply to permanent on-site signs.
1. Design Compatibility with Building. Signs shall be compatible with the
architectural style of the main building or buildings upon the site where the
sign is located. Signs located on commercial sites, but in a predominantly
residential area, shall consider compatibility with such residential area.
2. Quality of Workmanship and Materials. Signs shall be of a quality
commensurate with professional design standards and shall be constructed of
durable materials designed to withstand the elements. No permanent sign
made out of paper, cardboard, cloth, plastic sheeting, or other non-durable
materials shall be permitted. Lettering, logos and other sign content shall be
professionally prepared and shall appear uniform and legible.
3. Sign Illumination. The artificial illumination of signs, either from an internal or
external source, shall be designed so as not to cast stray light on surrounding
rights-of-way and properties. The following requirements shall apply to all
illuminated signs:

a. External light sources shall be directed and shielded to limit direct
illumination of an object other than the sign.
b. The light from an illuminated sign shall not be of an intensity or
brightness that will create glare or other negative impacts on residential
properties in direct line of sight to the sign.
c. Signs exceeding one (1) square foot in size shall not have blinking,
flashing, or fluttering lights, or other illumination devices that have a
changing light intensity, brightness, or color.
d. Colored lights shall not be used at a location or in a manner so as to be
confused or constructed as traffic control devices.
e. Light sources shall utilize energy-efficient fixtures to the greatest extent
possible and shall comply with Title 24 of the California Code of
Regulations. The use of energy efficient lighting features, such as solar-
powered or light-emitting diodes (LED), are encouraged.
4. Landscaping. Each monument, directory and/or freeway sign shall be located
within a planted landscaped area which is of a shape and design that will
provide a compatible setting and ground definition to the sign, incorporating
the following ratio of landscape area to total sign area
a. Monument sign, four square feet of landscaped area for each square
foot of sign area (one side only);
b. Directory sign, two square feet of landscaped area for each square foot
of sign area (one side only)
c. Freeway sign, One square foot of landscaped area for each square foot
of sign area (one side only)
B. Development and Design Standards for Specific Sign Types. In addition to the
general sign design requirements in subsection 18.80.140.A above, the following
requirements shall apply to the specific sign types:
1. Awning and Canopy Signs. Awning and canopy signs may be permitted only
as an integral part of the awning or canopy to which they are attached or
applied and shall be considered wall signs for signage area calculation
purposes. The following requirements shall apply:
a. Only permanent signs that are an integral part of the awning or
architectural projection shall be allowed. Temporary signs shall not be
placed on awnings.
b. Awning signs shall only be allowed for first- and second-story
occupancies.

2. Freestanding and Directory Signs. Monument signs shall only be permitted
as follows:
a. Voids between the sign face and the sign structure are prohibited. The
sign face shall utilize the full width of the sign structure or coverings that
are architecturally consistent with the rest of the sign to fill any voids.
b. Materials and design for freestanding signs shall be complementary to
the materials and design of the buildings for the related development.
For example, if the façade of the building is stucco with stone or stone
veneer, a complementary freestanding sign would also include stucco
and stone. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this
Chapter, nothing in this Chapter shall require the alternation of a
federally registered service mark.
c. For freestanding signs in multi-tenant centers, the name of the center
shall not be calculated in the maximum sign area. Rather, the name of
the center shall have a separate maximum sign area of 8 square feet. All
tenant signs shall have a minimum letter height of eight inches (8”). The
maximum number of tenants is 4 tenants on each sign face for centers
with less than 300 feet of street frontage, and 8 tenants for centers with
300 feet or greater of street frontage. The two sign faces of a monument
sign are not required to be identical in terms of tenant identification.
d. Freestanding signs shall be located outside of the clear sight triangle.
3. Freeway signs
a. The maximum allowable number, sign face area and height of any
freeway sign shall be pursuant to section 18.80.130 (Development
Standards for Permanent On-site Signs). When such display area is used
for commercial speech, the copy must qualify as onsite as to the shopping
center or commercial complex.
b. For a commercial complex of 150,000 square feet or more, the maximum
number of signs, sign face area, height of signs, and design criteria shall
be determined by the Planning Commission through a sign program.
c. Freeway signs may identify a maximum of 8 tenants
d. Freeway signs, including freeway electronic message signs, may only be
permitted subject to the approval by the Planning Commission. Freeway
signs will be permitted when they comply section 18.80.130 (Development
Standards for Permanent On-site Signs) and the following findings can be
made:
(i) The proposed sign is located upon the property upon which the use
identified is located;

(ii) The elevation of the freeway in relation to the elevation of the
abutting properties justifies the height requested, and is the
minimum necessary.
(iii) The number and spacing of freeway signs will not cause
unnecessary confusion, clutter or other unsightliness in the general
location.
(iv) The use identified, as well as its type, size and intensity, justifies
the size, design and location of the sign requested.
(v) The needs of the traveling public for identification and directional
information justifies the sign requested.
e. Freeway signs may be electronic message signs and shall be permitted
subject to the following requirements:
(i) No electronic message sign shall be located closer than one
thousand one thousand feet to another electronic message sign.
(ii) Each display shall appear for a period of at least ten seconds.
Displays shall not be animated, appear in incremental stages or
move across the changeable copy sign face. The sign shall remain
blank (no message or display) for at least one second between
separate images.
(iii) The sign shall display only noncommercial messages or onsite
commercial messages, related to those establishments that are
part of the complex or the merchandise or activities available on the
parcels which are part of the commercial complex. The sign shall
not be used as a billboard.
(iv) Electronic message signs shall automatically adjust the brightness
of illumination between night and day
(v) Electronic message signs may not identify commercial uses or
contain commercial message for uses not located on the same site
as the sign. Otherwise, they are considered off-premises signs and
are prohibited by this code.
(vi) The sign shall be reviewed for traffic safety purposes by the City's
Public Works Director as designated by the city manager and shall
comply with any and all safety standards as prescribed by the State
of California. Such reviews shall not consider message content.

Section 18.80.150 Development standards for permanent on-site signs.
The provisions in this section provide the development standards for on-site signs on
private property. Regulations are listed based upon zoning district and sign type.
A. Format and Organization of Standards. The signage standards listed below are
summarized, where applicable, in table format for ease of use and organization.
Concepts described in these tables are as follows:
1. Sign Area Allowance. Allowable sign area is either a set square footage per
establishment or is based on a ratio of allowable sign area to building
frontage (e.g., one square foot of sign per one lineal foot of building frontage,
or 1 sqft:1 lf). Where a ratio is described, it applies to the maximum
permissible sign area listed in this section.
2. Mixed-Use Zoning Districts. In mixed-use zoning districts, signage for
residential uses shall be consistent with the standards for residential zoning
districts (e.g., as if the development were in a residential zoning district). For
nonresidential uses, signs shall be consistent with the standards for
commercial and office zoning districts.
B. All signs shall conform to applicable provisions of section 18.80.140 Design
standards.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council & Successor Agency Item
TITLE: Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2015
PRESENTED BY: Cynthia Fortune, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the Annual Financial Report and related
documents for the year ended June 30, 2015.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports City Council Goal #1, “Ensuring Our Fiscal Viability” through
the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against
approved budget appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City has an independent audit conducted of its financial statements and
related internal control procedures. The audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015
has been completed and the Annual Financial Report issued by the City’s auditor,
Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP.
DISCUSSION:
One of the key aspects of any annual financial audit is the Independent Auditor’s
Report, which is provided on page 1 of the Annual Audit Report (Exhibit A). The
Independent Auditor’s Report provides its opinion on whether or not the financial
statements fairly present, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information as of the end of the fiscal year, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, in conformance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The resulting “opinion letter” is
either unqualified or qualified. The “opinion letter” received by the City for its financial
statements for the period ended June 30, 2015 is unqualified, indicating that the
financial statements fairly represent the City’s financial position in accordance with
GAAP.
In addition to the Annual Financial Report, the independent auditor issues other related
documents, which are summarized below:
Audit Overview Letter (Exhibit B)
Discusses the auditor’s responsibilities under Government Auditing Standards
6
Packet Pg. 101
and any significant issues encountered during the audit that warrant disclosure.
None of the misstatements detected as a result of the audit procedures and
corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate,
to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Internal Control & Compliance Report (Exhibit C)
The Internal Control & Compliance Report identifies any material internal control
deficiencies that impact the financial statements. The results of the tests
performed by the City auditors resulted in one incorrectly recorded revenue.
The City received a Special Revenue grant from the State of California to build
the Grand Terrace Fitness Park. Grant reimbursement and request for payments
practices occur when the City expends the necessary funds up front to build the
park, then request reimbursement for the expenditures incurred. Past practice
has been that after the City submits a request for grant reimbursement, the
expected receipts are recorded as “Grant Revenue.”
In FY2014-15, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
implemented GASB #63. GASB #63 states that two (2) new elements be added
to the Statement of Net Position in a government agency’s financial statements:
deferred outflows and deferred inflows. A “deferred outflow” is a future
expenditure and a “deferred inflow” is a future revenue. The receipts mentioned
above should be been recorded as a “deferred inflow.”
The City has since corrected this recordation. In order to avoid a similar incident,
the City will include a review of all prior year grant receivable accruals for any
unavailable revenues not actually received during the City’s revenue recognition
period within 60 days of the fiscal year’s end and adjust its recordation
accordingly.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the receipt of the Annual Financial Report and
related documents for the year ended June 30, 2015.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Grand Terrace,
California, (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Grand Terrace, California, as of
June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof
for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2015 the City adopted new accounting guidance,
GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – An Amendment of
GASB Statement No. 27 as amended by GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions
Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund, the Street
Improvement, the Housing Authority and the Child Care Center special revenue funds, the schedule of
proportionate share of the net pension liability and the schedule of plan contributions be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and
schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis of the financial performance of the City of Grand Terrace
provides an overview of the City's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The
information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with the City’s financial statements
identified in the accompanying table of contents.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Grand Terrace exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows at June 30, 2015 by $19 million (net position).
The City’s net position decreased by $4.6 million from the previous fiscal year from
$23.6 million to $19 million.
In the Current year, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – An amendment of
GASB Statement No. 27. As a result, the unfunded net pension liability of $3.2 million is
recorded on the City’s Statement of Net Position.
As of June 30, 2015, the City of Grand Terrace’s governmental funds had reported combined
ending fund balances of $7.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million. Of this total, approximately
$5.2 million, or 73.0% of the total fund balance, are either non-spendable or restricted due to
the nature of the restriction.
The total debt of the City showed a net increase of $3.6 million. The City’s net pension liability
which increased by $3.2 million mainly contributed to this increase. The City’s Other
Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability and California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(CJPIA) Retrospective Liability increased by $0.27 million, and $0.29 million respectively. The
City’s Capital Lease obligation with Zion’s bank and the Compensated Absences Liability of
the City decreased by $0.19 million and $0.02 million respectively.
The General Fund had a year-end fund balance of $2.4 million. This was an increase of
$0.48 million and an increase of 24.6% over Fiscal Year (FY) 2013- 14.
Using the Accompanying Financial Statements
Included in the accompanying report are fund financial statements. For governmental activities, the
fund financial statements explain how these services were financed in the short term as well as what
remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City's operations in more detail
than the government-wide statements by providing information about the City's most significant funds.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The annual report consists of four parts - management's discussion and analysis (this section), the
basic financial statements, required supplementary information and an optional section that presents
combining statements for nonmajor governmental funds. The basic financial statements include
two kinds of statements that present different views of the City:
The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term
and short-term information about the City's overall financial status.
x The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of
the City government, reporting the City's operations in more detail than the government-

wide statements. The governmental funds statements explain how general government
services like public safety were financed in the short term as well as what remains for
future spending.
x Proprietary fund statements offer short and long-term financial information about the
activities the government operates like a business.
x Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the fiduciary relationships - like the
agency funds of the City - in which the City acts solely as agent or trustee for the benefit of
others, to whom the resources in question belong.
The financial statements also include notes that provide additional explanatory information regarding
the financial statements, as well as more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of
required supplementary spreadsheets that provide additional financial and budgetary information.
Reporting the City as a Whole
The accompanying government-wide financial statements include two statements that present
financial data for the City as a whole. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
report information about the City as a whole and about its activities. The statement of net position
includes all of the City’s assets and liabilities, as well as any deferred outflows and inflows. The
statement of activities includes all current year revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is
received. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting,
which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies.
These two statements report the City's net position and changes in net position that transpired during
the fiscal year. The City's net position - the difference between assets, deferred outflows and inflows,
and liabilities - are one way to measure the City's financial health, or financial position. Over time,
increases and decreases in the City's net position are one indicator of whether its financial health is
improving or deteriorating. Other nonfinancial factors, however, should also be considered such as
changes in the City's property tax or sales tax base and the condition of the City's roads, to assess
the overall health of the City.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are divided into two types of activities:
Governmental activities - Most of the City's basic services such as public safety, public works,
community development, and general government are reported here. Sales taxes, property
taxes, state subventions, and other revenues finance most of these activities.
Business-type activity - The City charges fees for services to customers and all related costs
of services are accounted for in this fund.
Reporting the City's Most Significant Funds
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City's most significant funds - not
the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law or by bond covenants.
However, the City establishes many other funds to help it control and manage financial resources for
particular purposes or to demonstrate that it is meeting oversight responsibilities for using certain
taxes, grants, or other money. The City's two types of funds - governmental and proprietary - use
different accounting approaches.

Governmental funds - Most of the City's basic services are reported in governmental funds,
which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances remaining at
year end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using the modified accrual
accounting method, which measures cash and all other current financial assets that can
readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term
view of the City's general government operations and the basic services it provides.
Governmental fund information helps to determine whether there are greater or fewer financial
resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's programs. Both the
governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
Proprietary funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these
services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the
same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities. In fact, the City's enterprise fund is the same as the business-type activities reported
in the government-wide statements, but provides more detail and additional information, such
as cash flows, for the proprietary fund. The City does not use internal service funds (the other
component of proprietary funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the
City's other programs and activities.
Reporting the City's Fiduciary Responsibilities
The City is an agent for certain assets held for, and under the control of, other organizations and
individuals. These activities are excluded from the City's other financial statements because the City
cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets
reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
Government-wide Financial Statements
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. At June 30, 2015, net position for the City of Grand Terrace was $18,960,475; compared to
net position of $23,596,234 at June 30, 2014.

A summary of the government-wide Statement of Net Position at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014

$15,550,762 (82.0%) of the net position reflects the City's investment in capital assets, less any
related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. Since these assets are used to
provide services to the citizens they are not available for future spending. An additional $5,216,299
(27.5%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The
unrestricted net position resulted in a negative amount of $1,806,586 (-9.5%) mainly due to the net
pension liability of over $3.2 million that the City now has to account for as part of the City’s Statement
of Net Position.

The increase or decrease in net position can provide an indication as to whether the overall financial
position of the City improved or worsened during the year. The total net position for the City
decreased by $4,635,759 or 19.6% during the fiscal year. This decrease is mainly due to the net
pension liability of $3.2 million that was recorded during FY 2014-15 as a result of the implementation
of GASB 68. Taken separately, the net position of governmental activities decreased by $3,841,355
while the net position of business-type activities decreased by $794,404. Total expenses of
$8,584,341 were offset by total revenues of $7,155,124. In the Statement of Activities, expenditures
do not include the cost of assets capitalized during the year or payments made on principal of
outstanding debt. Depreciation is shown for governmental funds on this table, but the expense is not
recorded in each individual fund.

After the deduction of capitalized assets, the next largest component in changes to net position is the
actual increase or decrease in fund balances resulting from operations. For governmental funds there
was a net increase of $1,069,738. Of this amount, a net increase of $500,206 is attributable to the
nonmajor funds, a net decrease of $1,298 to Capital Projects, a net decrease of $149,451 to the Child
Care Center, a net increase of $15,304 to the Housing Authority, a net increase of $227,726 to the
Street Improvement Fund, with the difference being a net increase to the General Fund of $477,251.
Interest on long-term debt expenses decreased by $5,550 or 7.9 percent compared to the prior year.
The $70,455 in long- term debt interest charged to the General Fund during FY 2014- 15 was for the
Zion Bank Capital lease.

Business-Type Activity
In March 2014, the cities of Grand Terrace and Colton entered into settlement for sewer services and
lease agreements for fifty (50) years. These agreements settled all related litigation between
Grand Terrace and Colton and extricated Grand Terrace from the waste water collection business.
The huge drop in operating revenues during FY 2014-15 resulted because effective July 1, 2014, the
City of Colton took over the responsibility of providing wastewater collection, operation, distribution
and maintenance activities on behalf of Grand Terrace users. Operating expenses compared to the
previous fiscal year decreased by $273,500 (or 17.3 percent), from $1,579,513 in FY 2013-14 to
$1,306,013 in FY 2014-15. Included in the $1.3 million total expenditures during FY 2014-15 is the
$1.2 million paid by the City of Grand Terrace to the City of Colton in accordance with the agreed
upon settlement agreement between the two cities.
Expenses and Program Revenues – Business-type Activities
Major Funds

The significant highlights in activities, revenues and expenditures of the City's General Fund from the
prior year are as follows:
x General Fund revenues and transfers in exceeded expenditures and transfers out by
$477,251. Total fund revenues decreased by $403,860 or 7.6 percent from FY 2013-14. This
decrease in total general fund revenues is attributable mainly to the decrease in property tax
revenues amounting to $968,789 and the decrease in Sales tax of $133,546. The decrease in
these two major General Fund revenues were partly offset by the $400,000 received by the
City as one- time advance lease payment in consideration of the Sewer Services Agreement
between the City of Colton, Colton Utility Authority and the City of Grand Terrace and the
$300,000 also received by the City of Grand Terrace from the City of Colton and the Colton
Utility Authority as annual lease payment for the FY 2014-15 in accordance with the signed
Waste Water Lease Agreement between the parties involved.
x Property taxes received decreased by 30 percent from $3,245,294 to $2,276,505, a difference
of $968,789. This decrease in property tax is attributable to the decrease in the City’s share of
excess revenue distribution as a result of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
dissolution. The City’s residual receipts dropped from $1,169,419 in FY 2013-14 to $761,191
in FY 2014-15, a difference of $408,228. In addition, there was a one- time receipt of
$616,484 during FY 2013-14 that was attributable to the accelerated loan repayment made by
the General Fund to the Successor Agency which also contributed to said decrease in
property tax.
x Sales tax and Sales tax–in-lieu decreased by 13.7 percent from $958,648 to $827,251.
x Charges for service, including licenses and permits in FY 2014-15 increased by 10.7%
compared to FY 2013-14 from $825,471 to $913,508. Marked increases were shown for the
following revenues – construction permits, public works permits and engineering plan/review.
x Fines and forfeitures had a net decrease of $146,745 from $221,656 in FY 2013-14 to $74,911
in FY 2014-15. The loss of the following one-time revenue items received in FY 2013-14
contributed to the decrease in revenues in this category: Workers’ Compensation rebate on
the Sheriff’s Contract of $112,054 and claims, judgments & settlements of $54,323.
x The overall operating expenditures of the General Fund decreased by 9.4 percent over the
prior year - from $4.8 million to $4.3 million. During FY 2013-14, an accelerated loan payment
of $1.09 million was made by the General Fund to Successor Agency to repay previous loans
made from the CRA to the City’s General Fund. (The repayment was made to the County
Auditor-Controller for subsequent distribution to the various taxing entities.) The overall
operating expenditures of the General Fund decreased in the current fiscal year partly
because a similar major financial transaction such as the one mentioned above did not occur
again in FY 2014-15. Also as a result of this, general government expenditures showed a
decrease in expenditures amounting to $620,762. However, the following City program
categories ended the year with higher expenditures incurred during FY 2014-15 compared to
FY 2013-14: Public Safety, Public Works & Cultural & Recreation.
x There were still cost savings in various areas attributed to the City’s ongoing cost reduction
and control measures - including continuation of a 10 percent employee salary reduction
implemented via work furlough, elimination and deferral of some employee benefits, deferral of
merit increases, and reallocation of some employee salaries to other funds.

x Of the total $4,314,734 in General fund operating expenditures, total general government
expenditures represented 19.1% percent, Public works expenditures represented 22.3 percent
and Public safety expenditures represented 41.0 percent. The other 17.6 percent represented
expenditures relating to cultural & recreation and debt service payments.
Other major governmental funds include the Street Improvement Fund, the Housing Authority Fund,
the Child Care Center Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund.
The Street Improvement Fund had a net change of $227,726 during the fiscal year.
The fund balance of the Housing Authority Fund increased by $15,304 during FY 2014- 15. This fund
accounts for the housing assets as a result of the dissolution of community redevelopment agency of
the City.
The Child Care Center Fund ended the fiscal year with a net change of ($149,451), while the Capital
Projects Fund had a net change of ($1,298) at June 30, 2015.
Nonmajor Funds
The Nonmajor funds, as listed in the table of contents of this report, include Gas Tax, Measure I, the
Capital Improvement Funds, and most of the special revenue funds.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. In
these cases, the City has a fiduciary responsibility and is acting as trustee. The Statement of
Fiduciary Net Position, included in the Basic Financial Statements, separately reports all of the City’s
fiduciary activities. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate statements of fiduciary net
position and statement of changes in fiduciary net position (Private Purpose Trust Fund- Successor
Agency of the Former RDA only). Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government- wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own
programs. However, the City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are
used for their intended purposes
Capital Assets
As of June 30, 2015, the City had invested $16,771,305, in a broad range of capital assets, including
buildings, parks and park improvements, computer and maintenance equipment, vehicles, sewer
collection systems, streets, sidewalks and storm drains. The City is exempt by provisions of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 from including the valuation of
old City infrastructure prior to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34.

Long-Term Debt
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had debt outstanding of $6,222,244. Of this amount,
$1,220,543 is owed to Zions National Bank for the Civic Center facility. The City adopted
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions during the year. As a result, the City
recognized the unfunded net pension liability of $3,229,236. The remaining $1,772,465 is comprised
of other debt such as OPEB obligations for retiree health benefits, CJPIA retrospective liability owed
to the Authority and compensated absences payable. Of the total outstanding debt, $226,682 is due
and payable within one year.

Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in the notes to the accompanying
financial statements.
Economic Factors and Outlook for Future Years
The City of Grand Terrace finds itself in one of its strongest financial positions it has been in since
its incorporation in 1978. The FY2014-15 budget was balanced with over 50% General Fund
Balance, which exceeds the 18% fund balance recommended by the Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB). However, it is still important for the City’s financial management to
report on current issues affecting the City and their economic impact on FY 2015-16, and future
years. Despite reservations of the San Bernardino Local Agency Formation Commission
regarding the City’s ability to sustain itself financially over the long term, Grand Terrace
approaches its 40th birthday in 2018 and has proven itself to be a resilient and unique community in
the center of the Inland Empire. From 1980 to 2011, the City survived on a combination of
General Fund and redevelopment tax increment revenues, which allowed it to remain a small and
safe bedroom community, while other cities doubled in size during the same time period.
Grand Terrace took pride in being one of the safest communities in the Inland Empire.
After the loss of redevelopment revenues, new light was shed on the structural imbalance between
revenues and expenses contained in the City’s General Fund, forcing the City to restructure. As a
result, the City has implemented many cost reduction and containment strategies, including
reducing City Hall staff by approximately 67% and contracting out some essential services
(Finance, Information Technology, Park Maintenance, and Animal Control). During the City’s
restructuring, the economy also started to slowly improve, allowing the City to achieve a
structurally-balanced budget for FY 2014-15. While management began to right size the
organization, policy makers also made plans for the future, adopting a Vision and Strategic Plan,
with a new focus on economic development. Grand Terrace Policy Makers adopted new values
that included fiscal solvency and responsible fiscal management. Grand Terrace’s economic
development strategy includes retention and expansion of existing business and soliciting new
businesses that would enhance the quality of life of Grand Terrace and the surrounding
communities.
Grand Terrace has a current population of approximately 12,285 and is the smallest of the Inland
Empire cities in the urban core. The City is geographically located between two of the most
populous cities in the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino); while largely a bedroom
community, Grand Terrace is in a position to take advantage of the new commercial and housing
renaissance. The City’s way forward from 2016-2020 will be a focus on infrastructure, development
and quality housing stock.
The City will have a new entry way off the 1-215 corridor as CalTrans and SanBAG
(San Bernardino Associated Governments) have secured funding to improve the Barton Road
interchange into Grand Terrace. The interchange project is valued at $80,000,000 and will be fully
funded from Federal and local transportation taxes. The interchange will increase capacity from
20,000 cars per day to over 40,000 cars per day. The intersection project will support the following
projects:
1. $50,000,000 Grand Terrace High School completed in Spring 2012. The school brings in an
additional 4,000 people into the community every day, which has supported a 10% increase in
sales tax revenue in our casual dining category and made our new local Stater Bros. Market
one of the top 10 performing stores.

2. Spring Valley Ranch housing project located in Riverside County but accessed through the City
of Grand Terrace and Barton Road Interchange. At build-out it will have over 4,000
single family residences with very little to no commercial retail development. The City believes
this will also continue to support sales tax growth to Barton Road businesses.
3. The City owns approximately 57-acres of undeveloped property along the I-215 freeway Barton
Road exit. It is in the southwest area of the community and has been engaged with the Inland
Empire’s most significant development entity (one of its oldest) to bring about a significant
development project on the property. The developer will combine City owned land with other
surrounding vacant parcels for a project that is estimated to have an overall construction value
of $100,000,000. Staff anticipates this project to start to develop from 2019 – 2024.
4. Although Redevelopment has ended, the City’s Successor Agency and Housing Successor
Agency retained several valuable properties that can be developed into significant pads on
Barton Road. In addition, private development on Barton Rd is also starting to see significant
interest. There are several large vacant parcels on the new Stater Bros. site and the Old Stater
Bros. Shopping center that are currently under consideration for new private development. In
all Barton Road is expected to be the commercial lifeblood of Grand Terrace over the next
5 years.
On the residential side, the City wants to maintain its quality of life and reputation of having the
lowest crime rate, highest median income with clean parks and streets. Therefore, new housing
development will include mixed-use projects that incorporate quality housing stock with an emphasis
on accessibility and walkable friendly neighborhoods. Construction has started on a 34- and 17-lot
single-family detached subdivisions since 2016 with several other projects in the pipeline. Grand
Terrace’s Median Home Value increased by 6% in 2015. With the significant job creation potential of
the Southwest Corridor Project discussed above, upward pressure on existing home values will
continue to be exerted until some equilibrium is reached between supply and demand. Given the
limited, undeveloped residentially zoned property in the City—The City’s 2020 and Build-out (2035)
Growth Projections indicate approximately 97 single and multi-family units can be built and Grand
Terrace is one of the most desirable places to live in the Inland Empire.
As a result of the improving economy, our retail sector is seeing 10-14% growth in sales taxes per
quarter. Yet Grand Terrace is vulnerable as over 50% of our sales taxes are generated from
5 businesses in the City. Therefore, Grand Terrace continues to try and diversify its tax base by
seeking major retail businesses to fill the retail sales leakage of Grand Terrace and the surrounding
communities.
The City Council is following its 2030 vision adopted in May 2014. This is the City’s first ever
adopted Vision. It contains five, specific goals, with Goal #1 “Ensuring our Fiscal Viability”
underscored by Goal #3 “Promote Economic Development”. The City’s Five-Year Financial Analysis
clearly shows the fiscal challenges awaiting the City in all of the remaining fiscal years covered by
the Analysis and despite the development and approval of a structurally-balanced budget for
FY 2015-16. This led to the City adopting its first ever Quality of Life Enhancement and Preservation
(QLEAP) Program.
Although City Council balanced the FY2014-15 Budget and exceeded GASB recommended fund
balance levels, the City Council recognized that a balance budget severely reduced the City’s level
of service (service insolvency). The elimination of nonessential programs impacts the quality of life
of residents, so City Council set out to restore some services, those that did not require long term
financial commitment. The QLEAP Projects included adding quality of life projects back into the
budget with year-end surpluses. The City added $477,000 in quality of life programs into the new

economic factor that allows citizens to stay engaged and promote economic health of a community.

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
JUNE 30, 2015
Fund balances of governmental funds 7,158,843$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net
position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and therefore are not reported in the funds.11,797,327
Deferred outflows related to contributions made after the actuarial measurement date and
actuarial adjustments due to proportionate share made to the accrued net pensions liability. 195,702
Some liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore
are not reported in funds. Those liabilities consist of:
Lease payable (1,220,543)$
Accrued interest payable (22,076)
Long-term compensated absences payable (88,866)
OPEB Obligation (1,396,947) (2,728,432)
CJPIA liability not available in the current period. (286,652)
Governmental funds report all pension contributions as expenditures, however
in the statement of net position, the excess of the plan proportionate share of the total
pension liability over the proportionate share of the plan fiduciary net position is
reported as a net pension liability.(3,229,236)
Deferred inflows related to the net difference between projected and actual earnings on
pension plan investments and difference between actual contributions and proportionate
share of contributions.(744,925)
Revenues that are not available in the current period are deferred
in the governmental funds, but not in the statement of net position. 405,862
Net Position of governmental activities 12,568,489$

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES,
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds 1,069,738$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense or are allocated
to the appropriate functional expense when the cost is below the capitalization
threshold.
This activity is reconciled as follows:
Cost of assets capitalized 65,556$
Depreciation expense (613,377) (547,821)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental
funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current
financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has an
effect on net position.
Capital lease payments 189,942
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.
Change in OPEB obligation (271,470)
Change in insurance payable (482,976)
Change in compensated absences payable 17,880 (736,566)
Pension obligation expenses reported in the statement of activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds.(88,688)
Revenues that are not available in the current period are deferred
in the governmental funds, but not in the statement of activities.(27,658)
Change in net position of governmental activities (141,053)$

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Description of Entity
The City of Grand Terrace (City) was incorporated November 1978 under the General
Laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of
government and provides the following services: public safety (law enforcement),
highways and streets, cultural and recreational activities, public improvements, planning
and zoning, building and safety, low and moderate income housing programs, and
general administrative services.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements
present the City of Grand Terrace (the primary government) and its component units. The
component units discussed below are included in the City’s reporting entity because of
the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City. These entities
are legally separate from each other. However, the City of Grand Terrace’s elected
officials have a continuing full or partial accountability for fiscal matters of the other
entities. The financial reporting entity consists of: 1) the City, 2) organizations for which
the City is financially accountable, and 3) organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusions would cause the
City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt a
budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the
primary government. In a blended presentation, component unit balances and
transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City.
Component units are presented on a blended basis when the component unit’s governing
body is substantially the same as the City’s or the component unit provides services
almost entirely to the City. The following component units of the City have been included
in the financial reporting entity as blended component units.
A description of these component units and the method of incorporating their financial
information in the accompanying general purpose financial statements are summarized
as follows:
The City of Grand Terrace Public Financing Authority
The Grand Terrace Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was established on
July 16, 1991, pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Grand Terrace
and the former Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Grand Terrace. The
Authority was created to facilitate financing for public capital improvements benefiting the
City and the former RDA. The City Council also acts as the governing body of the
Authority. The Authority’s activities are blended with those of the City in these financial
statements and are reported as a debt service fund.
There are several other governmental agencies, including the County of San Bernardino,
school districts, and others, providing services within the City of Grand Terrace. Those
agencies have independently elected governing boards other than the City Council of the
City of Grand Terrace and no financial accountability to the City of Grand Terrace.
Consequently, financial information for these agencies is not included within this financial
report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements include a statement of net position and a
statement of activities. These statements present summaries of governmental and
business-type activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities of
the City are not included in these statements. Certain eliminations have been made as
prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activities, payables, and
receivables. All internal balances in the statement of net position have been eliminated
except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the
business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the
total primary government column. Governmental activities, which normally are supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect
expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.
Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions, including special assessments, that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenue are
reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds
are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses
are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the cash flows.
Accordingly, all of the City's assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as
infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying
statement of net position. The statement of activities presents changes in net position.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which
they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is
incurred. The types of transactions reported as program revenues for the City are
reported in three categories: 1) charges for services, 2) operating grants and
contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Under the
modified-accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in these funds when
susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are both measurable and available). "Measurable"
means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities
of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers property taxes collected after
year-end as available, if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal

period. Other revenue susceptible to accrual includes sales tax, state gasoline taxes,
investment income, and certain other intergovernmental revenues. Expenditures in the
governmental funds are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the
related fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured principal and interest
on general long-term debt, as well as compensated absences and claims and judgments,
which are recognized when due.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
x The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources of the general government, except those required to be
accounted for in another fund.
x The Street Improvement Fund accounts for all revenues collected for street capital
improvement fees under the Municipal Code. Funds are expended in accordance
with the latest adopted fiscal impact study and capital needs assessment.
x The Housing Authority Fund accounts for the housing assets transferred from the
former redevelopment agency and Low and Moderate housing activities of the City.
The fund activities are restricted to the same requirements as the former Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund of the Agency.
x The Child Care Center Fund accounts for the fully licensed child care program of the
City, operated by experienced child care educators. The program provides a
structured environment for physical, intellectual, and social development of the child.
x The Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources provided by grant funds
for the land acquisition and construction of the Grand Terrace Fitness Park.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
x The Waste Water Disposal Fund is used to account for the provision of waste water
disposal services to the residences and businesses of the City.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
x The Private Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for the resources, obligations,
and activities of the Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Grand Terrace as directed by the Oversight Board to settle the affairs of the
dissolved agency (see Note 16).
x The Agency Funds are used to account for the resources held by the City in a
fiduciary capacity.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are
payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the government's waste water
disposal function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these
charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions concerned.

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and
3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise,
general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing
and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues for the Waste Water Disposal Fund are charges to
customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the same Enterprise Fund
include the cost of sales and services, administration expenses, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
d. Other Accounting Policies
1. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other
funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds"
(i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are
reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a
fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they
are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial
resources.
The County of San Bernardino collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach
annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in March preceding the fiscal year for which
the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All
secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due
November 1, the second installment is due February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if
unpaid, on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured personal property
taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent, if unpaid, on
August 31.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the City considers cash and cash
equivalents as short term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant
risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The City follows the
practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds. Since cash and investments
are pooled, the City utilizes the assumption that the cash and investments in the
Enterprise Fund are cash and cash equivalents.

3. Investments
The City reports its investments at fair value in the balance sheet. All investment
income, including changes in the fair value of investments, is recognized as revenue
in the operating statement.
4. Property Held for Resale
Property held for resale is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Fund
balances are reserved in amounts equal to the carrying value of the land held for
resale because such assets are not available to finance the City’s current operations.
5. Compensated Absences
The short-term portion is determined to be the amount due to employees for future
absences which is attributable to services already rendered and which is expected to
be paid during the next fiscal year. The total amount of liability for compensated
absences is segregated between short-term and long-term as indicated above and
both portions are reflected in the government-wide statements.
Vacation pay is payable to employees at the time a vacation is taken or upon
termination of employment. Normally, an employee cannot accrue more than
two times his regular annual entitlement.
Sick leave is payable when an employee is unable to work because of illness. Upon
termination, regular employees with 5 years continuous service will be paid 40% for
any unused sick leave.
6. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure
assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an
initial, individual cost of more than or equal to $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an
estimated useful life of at least two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost,
or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset
or materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized.

Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component
units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives.

Vehicles 6-15
Improvements other than buildings 15-20
Infrastructure 20-30

7. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The government only has one item that
qualifies for reporting in this category. Deferred outflows relating to the net pension
obligation reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These outflows
are the results of contributions made after the measurement period, which are
expensed in the following year, and of adjustments due to difference in proportions
and the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate share of
the risk pool’s total contributions. These amounts are deferred and amortized over
the expected average remaining service life time.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the governmental Balance
Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an
acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has
two items, one of which, arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting,
that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable
revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The
governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: property taxes
and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in
the period that the amounts become available. The second item relates to the net
difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments and
the difference between actual contributions and the proportionate share of
contributions.
8. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both
restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In
order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and
unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted – net
position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
9. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both
restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and
unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted,
committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund
financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the
resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider
restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of
unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund
balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first,
followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
10. Fund Balance Policies
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions”. This statement provides more clearly defined
fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a
government’s fund balance more transparent. The following classifications describe
the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which
resources can be used:
• Nonspendable – amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or
are required to be maintained intact.
• Restricted – amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders and higher levels of government), through
constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
• Committed – amounts constrained to specific purposes by a government itself,
using the highest level of decision-making authority; to be reported as committed,
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government takes the
same highest level action to remove or change the constraint.
• Assigned – amounts a government intends to use for a specific purpose; intent
can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the
governing body delegates the authority.
• Unassigned – amounts that are for any purpose; positive amounts are reported
only in a general fund.
The City Council establishes (and modifies or rescinds) fund balance commitments
by passage of an ordinance or resolution. The City has not designated any level of
authority for assigning fund balance; therefore, the City Council can assign fund
balance.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use when
expenditures are incurred, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then

unrestricted resources as they are needed. It is the City’s policy to consider
committed amounts as being restricted first, followed by assigned amounts, and then
unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts
in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
11. Use of Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles accepted in the United States of America and necessarily
include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual
results could differ from those amounts
12. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums
and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as expenditures.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary
net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial
Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee
contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the
benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial
statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website
under Forms and Publications.
13. New Accounting Principles Adopted
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the City implemented the following
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) standards:
GASB Statement No. 68
Accounting and financial Reporting for Pensions—an Amendment of
GASB Statement No. 27 will improve the decision-usefulness of information in
employer and governmental nonemployer contributing entity financial reports and will
enhance its value for assessing accountability and interperiod equity by requiring
recognition of the entire net pension liability and a more comprehensive measure of
pension expense. Decision-usefulness and accountability also will be enhanced

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
through new note disclosures and required supplementary information. The
requirements of this statement are effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after June 15, 2014. This statement has been implemented.
GASB Statement No. 69
Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations. This statement
establishes accounting and financial reporting standards related to government
combinations and disposals of government operations. As used in this statement, the
term government combinations includes a variety of transactions referred to as
mergers, acquisitions, and transfers of operations. The provisions of
GASB Statement No. 69 are effective for financial statements beginning after
December 15, 2014. The implementation of this statement did not affect the financial
statements.
GASB Statement No. 71
Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date –
an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68. The objective of this Statement is to
address an issue regarding application of the transition provisions of GASB
Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. The issue
relates to amounts associated with contributions, if any, made by a state or local
government employer or nonemployer contributing entity to a defined benefit pension
plan after the measurement date of the government's beginning net pension liability.
The provisions of GASB Statement No. 71 are effective for financial statements
beginning after June 15, 2014. This statement has been implemented.
Additional standards released by GASB impacting future fiscal years are as follows:
GASB Statement No. 72
Fair Value Measurement and Application. This Statement addresses accounting and
financial reporting issues related to fair value measurements. The definition of fair
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This
Statement provides guidance for determining a fair value measurement for financial
reporting purposes. This Statement also provides guidance for applying fair value to
certain investments and disclosures related to all fair value measurements. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for financial statement for reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2015. The City has not fully judged the effect of the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 72 as of the date of the basic financial
statements.
GASB Statement No. 73
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets that are not
within the Scope of GASB Statement No. 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions
of GASB Statement Nos. 67 and 68. The objective of this Statement is to improve the
usefulness of information about pensions included in the general purpose external
financial reports of state and local governments for making decisions and assessing
accountability. This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the
effectiveness of existing standards of accounting and financial reporting for all
postemployment benefits with regard to providing decision-useful information,
supporting assessments of accountability and interperiod equity, and creating
additional transparency. The provisions in GASB Statement No. 73 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2015 – except those provisions that address

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
employers and governmental nonemployer contributing entities for pensions that are
not within the scope of GASB Statement No. 68, which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2016. The City has not fully judged the effect of the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 73 as of the date of the basic financial
statements.
GASB Statement No. 74
Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans.
The objective of this Statement is to improve the usefulness of information about
postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or
OPEB) included in the general purpose external financial reports of state and local
governmental OPEB plans for making decisions and assessing accountability. This
Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of existing
standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits
(pensions and OPEB) with regard to providing decision-useful information, supporting
assessments of accountability and interperiod equity, and creating additional
transparency. The provisions in Statement 74 are effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2016. The City has not fully judged the effect of the implementation of
GASB Statement No. 74 as of the date of the basic financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 75
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and
financial reporting by state and local governments for postemployment benefits other
than pensions (other postemployment benefits or OPEB). It also improves
information provided by state and local governmental employers about financial
support for OPEB that is provided by other entities. This Statement results from a
comprehensive review of the effectiveness of existing standards of accounting and
financial reporting for all postemployment benefits (pensions and OPEB) with regard
to providing decision-useful information, supporting assessments of accountability
and interperiod equity, and creating additional transparency. The provisions in
Statement No. 75 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. The
City has not fully judged the effect of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 75
as of the date of the basic financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 76
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local
Governments. The objective of this Statement is to identify—in the context of the
current governmental financial reporting environment—the hierarchy of generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The “GAAP hierarchy” consists of the
sources of accounting principles used to prepare financial statements of state and
local governmental entities in conformity with GAAP and the framework for selecting
those principles. This Statement reduces the GAAP hierarchy to two categories of
authoritative GAAP and addresses the use of authoritative and nonauthoritative
literature in the event that the accounting treatment for a transaction or other event is
not specified within a source of authoritative GAAP. The provisions in GASB
Statement 76 are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015. The
City has not fully judged the effect of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 76
as of the date of the basic financial statements.

Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued)
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways
that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of
shorter and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a
portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as
necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. Information about
the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments to market interest rate
fluctuations are presented below.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Information about the minimum rating
required by the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt
agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each type of investment held by the
City can be found below.

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2015
Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be
invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the City did not hold any investments in any
one issuer (other than Mutual Funds and External Investment Pools) that represent 5% or
more of total City’s investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to
recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of
another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not
contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk
for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California
Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The
market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of
the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial
institutions to secure deposits by pledging first deed mortgage notes having a value of
150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2015, the City had deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal
depository insurance limits of $2,564,303 and $626,542 per account held in collateralized
accounts for the City and Successor Agency, respectively.
Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the
State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of
the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized
cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting
records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
LAIF has reported to its participating agencies that, as of June 30, 2015, the carrying
amount (at amortized cost) of the Pool was $64,850,840,279 and the estimated fair value
of the Pool was $64,870,214,443. The City’s proportionate share of the Pool’s market
value (as determined by LAIF) as of June 30, 2015, was $19,346,883 Included in LAIF’s
investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities,
other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities.
Local Government Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Government Investment Pool, “CAMP”
(California Asset Management Program). CAMP is a California Joint Powers Authority,

Lease Payable
On August 28, 2009, the City entered into a Lease Agreement (Lease) with
Zions First National Bank in order to refinance the City of Grand Terrace Refunding
Certificates of Participation, Issue of 1997, which was issued to finance city hall and other
public improvements. The City used the proceeds of the Lease of $2,162,000 and funds
on hand of $358,000 to current refund the $2,520,000 of outstanding 1997 Certificates of
Participation. Under the Lease, the City is to lease property to Zions and in return Zions
will lease the property back to the City in consideration of the payment by the City of
semiannual lease payments commencing March 1, 2010 through September 1, 2020 at
4.76% interest.

CJPIA Retrospective Deposit Payables
Retrospective deposit payables are cost allocation adjustments to prior coverage periods.
Some claims take many years to resolve and over time their estimated value changes.
The retrospective adjustments are calculated annually and take into consideration all the
changes in claim values that occurred during the most recent year. The formula is
designed to adequately cover the cost of claims brought against members and to ensure
the overall financial strength and security of the Authority. The formula was developed to
be as equitable as possible by taking into consideration both risk exposure and claims
experience of individual members. CJPIA has temporarily deferred the payment on
retrospective deposits owed to the Authority by members. The payment deferral period
extends until July 1, 2015, for the Workers’ Compensation program. Retrospective
deposit payments are scheduled to resume on these dates. At June 30, 2015, the City
has a retrospective deposit payable of $286,652.
More information on the CJPIA retrospective balances can be found on the CJPIA
website at CJPIA.org.

Note 7: Pension Plan
Plan Description
The City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), a
cost sharing multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS
provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death
benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common investment and
administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit
provisions and all other requirements are established by State statute and City ordinance.
Copies of PERS’ annual financial report may be obtained from their executive office:
400 “P” Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and
beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full
time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age
50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability
benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic
Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death
Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the
Public Employees’ Retirement Law.
Below is the summary of the plans’ provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2015,

Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of
the net pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of
June 30, 2014, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 rolled
forward to June 30, 2014 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the
net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of
contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating
employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension
liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2013 and 2014 was as follows:

Note 7: Pension Plan (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2014 (the measurement date), the total
pension liability was determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2013 total pension
liability. The June 30, 2013 and the June 30, 2014 total pension liabilities were based on
the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal Cost Method
Discount Rate 7.50%
Inflation 2.75%
Salary Increases 3.3% - 14.2% (1)
Investment Rate of Return 7.50% (2)
Mortality Rate Table (3) Derived using CalPERS’ Membership Data
for all Funds
Post Retirement Benefit
Increase
Contract COLA up to 2.75% until
Purchasing Power Protection Allowance
Floor on Purchasing Power applies, 2.75%
thereafter
(1) Depending on age, service and type of employment
Actuarial Assumptions
(3) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The
table includes 20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale
BB. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2014 experience study report
on the CalPERS' website.
(2) Net of Pension Plan Investment and Administrative Expenses; includes Inflation
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the
results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 1997 to 2011, including
updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study report
can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent. To
determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a
discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a
discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based

Note 7: Pension Plan (Continued)
on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current
7.50 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation
is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 7.50 percent is applied to all
plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in
a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained at
CalPERS’ website under the GASB 68 section.
According to Paragraph 30 of GASB Statement 68, the long-term discount rate should be
determined without reduction for pension plan administrative expense. The 7.50 percent
investment return assumption used in this accounting valuation is net of administrative
expenses. Administrative expenses are assumed to be 15 basis points. An investment
return excluding administrative expenses would have been 7.65 percent. Using this lower
discount rate has resulted in a slightly higher total pension liability and net pension
liability. CalPERS determined this difference was deemed immaterial to the Public
Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. More information
can be found on the CalPERS’ website.
CalPERS is scheduled to review all actuarial assumptions as part of its regular Asset
Liability Management review cycle that is scheduled to be completed in February 2018.
Any changes to the discount rate will require Board action and proper stakeholder
outreach. For these reasons, CalPERS expects to continue using a discount rate net of
administrative expenses for GASB Nos. 67 and 68 calculations through at least the
2017-2018 fiscal year. CalPERS will continue to check the materiality of the difference in
calculation until such time as they have changed their methodology.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using
a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of
return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are
developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both
short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension
fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and
employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future
years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound
(geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term
(11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for
both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund.
The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return
that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated
using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set
equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the
nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of
return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the
discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of
administrative expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2015
Note 8: Other Post-Employment Benefits (Continued)
Medical plan benefits are provided through PERS, as permitted by the Public Employees’
Medical and Hospital and Care Act (PEMHCA). As a PEMHCA employer, the City has
elected the unequal contribution method, where the contribution will be increased
annually over twenty years until it reaches the same employer contribution as active
employee medical plan coverage.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the City are established and may be amended by the
City Council. The required contribution is based on pay-as-you-go financing
requirements. For fiscal year 2014- 2015, the City contributed $ $7,733 to the plan.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual other OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially in accordance with
GASB Statement No. 45. The City obtained an updated actuarial study of the plan, but is
in the process of having one performed in 2015. The calculation is solely based on the
2011 actuarial report prepared by Bartel & Associates, LLC. The ARC represents a level
of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year
and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) not to exceed
thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year,
the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net
OPEB obligation:
Annual required contribution (ARC) 308,000$
Interest in net OPEB obligation 45,019
Adjustment to ARC (73,816)
Annual OPEB cost (expense) 279,203
Contributions made (7,733)
Decrease/(Increase) in net OPEB obligation 271,470
Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year 1,125,477
Net OPEB obligation - end of year 1,396,947$
The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the
Plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2015 and the two preceding years were as follows:
Fiscal Annual Percentage of Net OPEB
Year OPEB Annual OPEB Obligation
End Cost Cost Contributed (Asset)
6/30/2013 262,747$ 2% 863,986$
6/30/2014 265,254 1% 1,125,477

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported
amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the
future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the
healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the Plan and
the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as
actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about
the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary
information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend
information about whether the actuarial value of Plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for the benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan
(the Plan as understood by the employer and the Plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of
benefit costs to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities and the actuarial assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of
the calculations.
The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations is the Projected
Unit Credit Method. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.5% investment rate of return,
which is the assumed rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets
calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date, and an annual
healthcare cost trend rate of 10 percent initially, reduced by increments of 1.0% per year
to an ultimate rate of 5.0% after the sixth year.
Note 9: Residential Mortgage Revenue Bonds

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2015
Note 9: Residential Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Continued)
Safety Code of the State of California. The bonds provide for long-term low interest mortgage
loans to qualified home buyers of single family homes in certain residential developments as
specified by the indenture. The bonds are payable solely from payments made on and
secured by a pledge of the home mortgages and the funds and accounts held for the benefit
of the bondholders pursuant to the indenture. The bonds do not represent a lien or charge
upon the funds or property of the Agency. Neither the full faith and credit, nor the taxing
power, of the Agency is pledged to the payment of the bonds. For these reasons, the bonds
are not shown as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
The mortgage bond program is administered by a separate administrator apart from the
Agency as specified by the indenture. The fiscal agent and trustee duties are also performed
by a separate trustee bank apart from the Agency. In June 1992, the joint powers authority
sold the home mortgages. The proceeds from the sale of the mortgages plus other assets
were irrevocably placed into a trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service
on the bonds through the year 2017. At June 30, 2015, approximately $1,850,000 of the
bonds were outstanding.
Note 10: Risk Management
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (the "Authority"). The
following joint venture disclosures are made in compliance with GASB Code Section J50.103:
Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement
The City of Grand Terrace is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(the “Authority”). The Authority is composed of 119 California public entities and is
organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code
§6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the
pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to
arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other coverage. The Authority’s
pool began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an
elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates
through a 9-member Executive Committee.
Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
General Liability
Each member government pays a primary deposit to cover estimated losses for a fiscal
year (claims year). After the close of a fiscal year, outstanding claims are valued.
A retrospective deposit computation is then made for each open claims year. Claims are
pooled separately between police and non-police. Costs are spread to members as
follows: the first $30,000 of each occurrence is charged directly to the member’s primary
deposit; costs from $30,000 to $750,000 and the loss development reserves associated
with losses up to $750,000 are pooled based on the member’s share of losses under
$30,000. Losses from $750,000 to $5,000,000 and the associated loss development
reserves are pooled based on payroll. Costs of covered claims from $5,000,000 to
$50,000,000 are paid by excess insurance. Costs of covered claims for subsidence
losses from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 are paid by excess insurance. The protection for
each member is $50,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate. Administrative
expenses are paid from the Authority’s investment earnings.

Note 10: Risk Management (Continued)
Workers’ Compensation
The City of Grand Terrace also participates in the workers’ compensation pool
administered by the Authority. Each member pays a primary deposit to cover estimated
losses for a fiscal year (claims year). After the close of a fiscal year, outstanding claims
are valued. A retrospective deposit computation is then made for each open claims year.
Claims are pooled separately between public safety and non-public safety. Each member
has a retention level of $50,000 for each loss and this is charged directly to the member’s
primary deposit. Losses from $50,000 to $100,000 and the loss development reserve
associated with losses up to $100,000 are pooled based on the member’s share of
losses under $50,000. Losses from $100,000 to $2,000,000 and employer’s liability
losses from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 and loss development reserves associated with
those losses are pooled based on payroll. Losses from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 are
pooled with California State Association of Counties – Excess Insurance Authority
members. Costs from $2,000,000 to $300,000,000 are transferred to reinsurance
carriers. Costs in excess of $300,000,000 are pooled among the Members based on
payroll. Protection is provided per statutory liability under California Workers’
Compensation law. Administrative expenses are paid from the Authority’s investment
earnings.
Purchased Insurance
Property Insurance
The City of Grand Terrace participates in the all-risk property protection program of the
Authority. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. The
City of Grand Terrace property is currently insured accordingly to a schedule of covered
property submitted by the City of Grand Terrace to the Authority. The City of Grand
Terrace property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of
$12,961,600. There is a $5,000 deductible per occurrence except for non-emergency
vehicle insurance which has a $1,000 deductible. Premiums for the coverage are paid
annually and are not subject to retroactive adjustments.
Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal (claims) years none of the above programs of protection have
had settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There have
been no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage from coverage in the
prior year.
Note 11: Contingencies
As of June 30, 2015, in the opinion of the City Administration and its legal counsel, there are
no outstanding matters, which would have a material effect on the financial position of the
City.
Note 12: Proposition 218
Proposition 218, which was approved by the voters in November 1996, will regulate the City's
ability to impose, increase and extend taxes, assessments and fees. Any new, increased, or
extended taxes, assessments, and fees subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 require
voter approval before they can be implemented. Additionally, Proposition 218 provides that
these taxes, assessments, and fees are subject to the voter initiative process and may be
rescinded in the future by the voters.

Note 13: Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund to the Former Redevelopment Agency
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill X1 26, (the Bill)
that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. Most
of California cities had established a redevelopment agency that was included in the reporting
entity of the city as a blended component unit (since the city council, in many cases, also
served as the governing board for those agencies). The Bill provided that upon dissolution of
a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to
serve as the "Successor Agency" to administer assets, pay and adhere to the provisions of
enforceable obligations, and to expeditiously settle the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment
agency. If the City declines to accept the role of Successor Agency, other local agencies may
elect to perform this role. If no local agency accepts the role of Successor Agency, the
Governor is empowered by the Bill to establish a local "designated local authority" to perform
this role. On January 4, 2012, the City Council met and created the Successor Agency of the
former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Grand Terrace in accordance with the Bill as
part of the City of Grand Terrace.
In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is
necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of
the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment
agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.

2011A Tax Allocation Bonds
In June of 2011, the former CRA issued the $15,175,000 Community Redevelopment
Project Area Tax Allocation Bonds, Issue of 2011A. The Bonds were issued to finance
public improvement projects pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and for other
redevelopment activities of the Agency. Interest varies from 2.00% to 6.00% and is
payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1, commencing September 1, 2011.
Principal payments are due annually commencing September 1, 2012, through
September 1, 2033. The Bonds are payable from and secured by a pledge of Tax
Increment, less amounts required to make payments under the Pass-Through

Mortality
(1) Historical information is required only for measurement for which GASB 68 is applicable. Fiscal Year 2015 was the first year of
implementation, therefore only one year is shown.
Based on mortality rates resulting from the most recent CalPERS Experience
Study adopted by the CalPERS Board, first used in the June 30, 2009
valuation. For purposes of the post-retirement mortality rates, those revised
rates include 5 years of projected on-going mortality improvement using Scale
AA published by the Society of Actuaries until June 30, 2010. There is no
margin for future mortality improvement beyond the valuation date. The
mortality assumption will be reviewed with the next experience study expected
to be completed for the June 30, 2013 valuation to determine an appropriate
margin to be used.

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
JUNE 30, 2015
I. STEWARDSHIP
Note 1: Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
a. Budgetary Data
The annual budget is adopted by the City Council after the holding of a hearing and
provides for the general operation of the City. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them.
The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations and any amendments to
appropriations throughout the year. This "appropriated budget" (as defined by
GASB Code Section 2400.109) covers City expenditures in all governmental funds,
except for the Public Financing Authority Debt Service Fund. This entity does not adopt
an annual budget as effective budgetary control is achieved through bond indenture and
other instrument provisions. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted
appropriations at the fund level.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year. Commitments for materials and services, such as purchase orders and contracts,
are recorded as encumbrances to assist in controlling expenditures. Encumbrances at
year-end lapse, and then are added to the following year's budgeted appropriations. Also,
unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
Annual budgets for the General, and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accordingly, actual revenues and expenditures can be compared with related budgeted
amounts without any significant reconciling items.
Capital projects are budgeted through the Capital Project Funds. Appropriations for
capital projects authorized, but not constructed or completed during the year, lapse at
year-end, and are then included as a part of appropriations in the following year's annual
budget.
b. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
Excess of expenditures over appropriations in individual funds are as follows:
Fund Expenditures Appropriations Excess
Major Funds:
Child Care Center 1,269,135$ 1,211,831$ (57,304)$
Nonmajor Funds:
AB 3229 COPS Fund 100,496 100,000 (496)

April 12, 2016
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Grand Terrace (the City) for the
year ended June 30, 2015. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our
responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and
OMB Circular A-133, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit.
We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated June 15, 2015. Professional standards
also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City are described in the notes to the financial statements.
As described in Note 1, the City changed accounting policies related to pensions reporting by adopting
Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension
Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an Amendment of
GASB Statement No. 68 in fiscal year 2014-2015. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting
change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the government-wide statement of activities.
We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the
proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly
from those expected.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, we detected misstatements as a result of
audit procedures which were material, and were subsequently corrected by management. The details of
these misstatements are described in a separate letter dated April 12, 2016.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or
the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our
audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated April 12, 2016.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion
that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant
to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were
no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions
occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to
our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management discussion and analysis, the Schedule of
Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedule of Plan Contributions, the budgetary
comparison schedules for the General Fund, Street Improvement Fund, Housing Authority, and Child Care
Center Fund, and the Notes to the Required Supplementary Information, which are required supplementary
information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do
not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining statements, individual fund statements, and budgetary
comparison schedules, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this
supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Grand Terrace, California, (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated April 12, 2016.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified. However, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance. We consider the following deficiencies to be material weaknesses:
Unavailable Revenue
During our audit testwork of the City’s accounts receivable balances, we noted that an account
receivable was set up in the prior year for grant expenditure incurred on the Grand Terrace
Fitness Park project. However, the receivable was not expected to be received during the City’s
revenue recognition period and was incorrectly recorded as revenue instead of unavailable
revenue. A journal entry was provided to reclassify the amount. We recommend that the City
review its grant receivable accruals for amounts to be received after the City’s revenue
recognition period and properly classify these amounts as unavailable revenue at June 30.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Grand Terrace, California
Management’s Response:
The City will include in its year-end procedures, a review of all prior year grant receivable accruals for
any unavailable revenues not actually received during the City’s revenue recognition period.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Designating Fire Lane and Prohibited Parking to Address
Traffic and Parking Issues on Palm Ave; Authorization for
Removal of Vehicles
PRESENTED BY: Yanni Demitri, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA
ESTABLISHING FIRE LANES AND PROHIBITING
PARKING ON PALM AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING
REMOVAL OF VEHICLES THEREON
2. Direct staff to refresh existing red curb on Palm Ave.
3. Direct staff to return within 60 - 90 days with a
franchise agreement for towing services.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" to ensure that our residents
continue to enjoy an outstanding quality of life.
BACKGROUND:
City Staff and the City Council have been advised by a number of residents of traffic,
noise, trespassing and littering issues at the top of Palm Avenue which are mainly
caused by visitors looking for a secluded and dimly lit area. Residents In the area are
impacted by visitors drinking and leaving litter and prophylactics in the street and
scattered along the top of the mountain. The area was designated a fire lane many
years ago to insure fire and other life safety equipment could access Palm to insure the
proper response time for residents in the area.
DISCUSSION:
The Council discussed this issue on May 10, 2016 and directed staff to return with a
proposal to address the number of issues facing residents on Palm Ave.
Palm Ave is located at the east end of the City and is lined with private properties.
Residents on this street are experiencing a number of undesirable conditions. People
parking in the cul-de-sac on Palm are leaving the top of Palm, riddles with litter
potentially hazardous material items. Not all residents are visiting the area and leaving
8
Packet Pg. 216
it a mess, but the area was designated as a fire lane and no one is allowed to park in
the cul-de-sac.
In response to these complaints staff recommends placing signs pertaining to littering
prohibitions. Staff also recommends refreshing the existing red curb and placing of
signs notifying that vehicles left standing or parked will be towed. Staff also will seek a
Tow Franchise Agreement for immediate removal of all vehicles parked within the area
designated as a Fire Lane on Palm Avenue. The Sheriff will be asked to step up
enforcement of all existing and new restrictions. Notices shall be sent to residents
informing them of the new improvements and the phone number of the Towing
Company will be provided.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs for the new signs, refresh red curb, and notices to residents totaling $1,000 will
be expended from the FY2015-16 approved Gas Tax budget.

TITLE: Traffic and Parking Related Issues on Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and Palm Ave
PRESENTED BY: Yanni Demitri, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to Implement Recommendations of
this Report
.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" to ensure that our residents
continue to enjoy an outstanding quality of life.
BACKGROUND:
City Staff and the City Council have been advised by a number of residents of
traffic, access, noise, trespassing and littering issues along Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and Palm Avenue that are mainly caused by visitors to Blue Mountain
which is in the immediate vicinity of said streets. Grand Terrace residents and non-
residents started flocking to Westwood Street after the Palm Avenue and Honey Hill
access to Blue Mountain was gated off.
DISCUSSION:
Westwood Street and Westwood Lane are located at the east end of the City at
the base of Blue Mountain, which is comprised mostly of private parcels. Westwood
Street dead ends at the base of Blue Mountain and has become an unofficial trailhead
to Blue Mountain for various purposes (hiking, biking, etc.), and Westwood Lane is a
cul-de-sac street. These two streets are substandard in width. The City’s standard is for
a travel way of 36 feet, curb to curb, but neither of these streets meets that minimum
width. Street parking is currently allowed on only one side of each street.
Residents along these streets are experiencing a number of undesirable
conditions due to public access of Blue Mountain. Not all persons parking along the
roadways are considerate or courteous. Some will litter along the roadways and some
trespass onto private properties. In the early morning hours, residents are awakened by
noise from car motors, the slamming of car doors and people talking loudly.

Occasionally, cars parked along these streets block access to mailboxes and the mail
carrier does not deliver if the mail vehicle cannot drive up to the mailboxes.
Palm Avenue is a long cul-de-sac street that increases in elevation as it travels
eastward. Towards the end of the cul-de-sac, there is a steep downhill grade on the
north side of the street. The end of Palm Avenue is very dark and very secluded, which
is attractive for persons looking for secluded areas to park.
In addition to the potential for littering, and questionable activities, there is also a
possible safety concern because of the steep downhill grade.
In response to these complaints staff will be placing signs pertaining to littering
prohibitions. Staff will also paint pavement markings with the speed limit in 300 feet
intervals on Palm Ave in the downhill direction to prompt motorists to adhere to the
posted speed limit and the Sheriff will be contacted to step up enforcement of all
existing and new restriction. Notices shall be sent to residents informing them of the
new improvements and the phone numbers of the County Sheriff and Towing Company
will be provided.
Permit parking will be implemented on Westwood Street, Westwood Lane, and Palm
Ave. Two permits will be issued to each property and three additional permits for
guests. Staff recommends a fee of $30.00 a year per permit.
Staff will also implant new red curbing on all three streets and refresh existing red curb,
which will significantly reduce the number of parked vehicles that are contributing to the
issues raised by the residents.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends implementing the following:
1. Apply red curbing on existing No Parking areas on Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and on Palm Ave and refresh existing red curb.
2. Implement restricted parking by permit only on Westwood Street, Westwood
Lane, and Palm Ave between the hours of 7:30 PM – 6:00 AM.
3. Adopt a resolution designating red curbs in the areas of Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and Palm Ave as “Tow Away” zones in compliance with
Section 22651 of the California Motor Vehicle Code.
4. Direct staff to return within 60 days with a franchise agreement for towing
services to service City Tow Away zones.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Traffic and Parking Issues on Westwood Street and
Westwood Lane
PRESENTED BY: Yanni Demitri, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends implementing the following:
1. ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA
ESTABLISHING FIRE LANES AND PROHIBITING
PARKING ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF WESTWOOD
STREET AND ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE ENTIRE
CUL-DE-SAC OF WESTWOOD LANE AND AUTHORIZING
REMOVAL OF VEHICLES THEREON
2. Direct staff to return within 60 - 90 days with a
franchise agreement for towing services to service all “Tow
Away” zones City-wide.
3. Direct staff to meet with residents on these two
streets to discuss remedies to address parking issues and
return to Council in 60 - 90 days with details of such plan.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" to ensure that our residents
continue to enjoy an outstanding quality of life.
BACKGROUND:
City Staff and the City Council have been advised by a number of residents of traffic,
access, noise, trespassing and littering issues along Westwood Street and Westwood
Lane that are mainly caused by visitors to Blue Mountain which is in the immediate
vicinity of these two streets. Grand Terrace residents and non-residents started flocking
to Westwood Street after the Palm Avenue and Honey Hill access to Blue Mountain was
gated off. This item was presented to City Council on May 10th, 2016 and several of the
residents were in attendance to discuss the issues. Several of them spoke and staff
listened and worked diligently to address all the concerns.
DISCUSSION:
9
Packet Pg. 224
Westwood Street and Westwood Lane are located at the east end of the City at the
base of Blue Mountain. They are comprised mostly of private parcels. Westwood Street
dead ends at the base of Blue Mountain and has become an unofficial trailhead to Blue
Mountain for various purposes (hiking, biking, etc.), and Westwood Lane is a cul-de-sac
street. These two streets are non-standard in width. The City’s standard is for a travel
way of 36 feet, curb to curb, but neither of these streets meets that minimum width.
Therefore, in order to maintain unimpeded access to emergency service vehicles,
including fire trucks, one side of each street has been designated as a fire lane by the
local fire authority. The opposite side of the street currently allows for parking.
Residents along these streets are experiencing a number of undesirable conditions
attributed to access to Blue Mountain. Unfortunately, not all persons parking along the
roadways are considerate or courteous. Some will litter and some trespass onto private
properties. In the early morning hours, residents are awakened by noise from car
motors, the slamming of car doors and people talking loudly. Occasionally, cars parked
along these streets block access to mailboxes and the mail carrier does not deliver if
access to the mail boxes is obstructed. There is concern that the same behavior would
block access to emergency service vehicles in the area.
California Vehicle Code Section 22651, authorizes the removal of vehicles parked or left
standing where local authorities by resolution or ordinance have prohibited parking and
authorized removal. In addition, under California Vehicle Code Section 22500.1 vehicles
stopped, parked, or left in a fire lane designated as such by a red curb and a posted
sign may be removed. Last, California Vehicle Code Section 22507 authorizes cities to
prohibit stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain streets, or portions thereof.
Currently one side of Westwood Street and Westwood Lane contains signs prohibiting
parking. However, the curbs have not been painted red and signs do not notice that
vehicles may be towed.
So in response to the complaints staff proposed the Council consider adoption of the
attached resolution to clarify the existence and location of fire lanes, that parking is
prohibited thereon, and that vehicles parked there will be towed. The resolution further
directs staff to paint the appropriate curbs red and to post appropriate signs providing
notice that vehicles will be towed.
Upon adoption, the Sheriff will be asked to step up patrol of the area and enforcement
of all existing and new restrictions. Notices shall be sent to residents informing them of
the new improvements and the phone numbers of the County Sheriff and a Towing
Company will be provided.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs for the new signs, refresh red curb, and notices to residents totaling $2,000 will
be expended from the FY2015-16 approved Gas Tax budget.

Occasionally, cars parked along these streets block access to mailboxes and the mail
carrier does not deliver if the mail vehicle cannot drive up to the mailboxes.
Palm Avenue is a long cul-de-sac street that increases in elevation as it travels
eastward. Towards the end of the cul-de-sac, there is a steep downhill grade on the
north side of the street. The end of Palm Avenue is very dark and very secluded, which
is attractive for persons looking for secluded areas to park.
In addition to the potential for littering, and questionable activities, there is also a
possible safety concern because of the steep downhill grade.
In response to these complaints staff will be placing signs pertaining to littering
prohibitions. Staff will also paint pavement markings with the speed limit in 300 feet
intervals on Palm Ave in the downhill direction to prompt motorists to adhere to the
posted speed limit and the Sheriff will be contacted to step up enforcement of all
existing and new restriction. Notices shall be sent to residents informing them of the
new improvements and the phone numbers of the County Sheriff and Towing Company
will be provided.
Permit parking will be implemented on Westwood Street, Westwood Lane, and Palm
Ave. Two permits will be issued to each property and three additional permits for
guests. Staff recommends a fee of $30.00 a year per permit.
Staff will also implant new red curbing on all three streets and refresh existing red curb,
which will significantly reduce the number of parked vehicles that are contributing to the
issues raised by the residents.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends implementing the following:
1. Apply red curbing on existing No Parking areas on Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and on Palm Ave and refresh existing red curb.
2. Implement restricted parking by permit only on Westwood Street, Westwood
Lane, and Palm Ave between the hours of 7:30 PM – 6:00 AM.
3. Adopt a resolution designating red curbs in the areas of Westwood Street,
Westwood Lane, and Palm Ave as “Tow Away” zones in compliance with
Section 22651 of the California Motor Vehicle Code.
4. Direct staff to return within 60 days with a franchise agreement for towing
services to service City Tow Away zones.

2. Permanent Structures That are Currently in The Right
of Way Can Only Be Replaced In-Kind Subject to The
Approval of an Encroachment Permit
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal # 2 "Maintain Public Safety".
BACKGROUND:
City Staff has recently been made aware of several situations of unpermitted
encroachments into City easements and rights of way (sidewalk and parkway areas).
Requests have been made to improve the encroaching structure by making it more
permanent or as an alternative seeking approval to replace like with like. The present
unpermitted encroachments take the form of a fence, a block wall, and other
permanent structures. It is believed that the requesting parties are not the same party
who installed the encroaching structures.
The standard practice is to NOT allow encroachments into City rights of way or
easements and to demand immediate removal upon discovery of such encroachment.
This sometimes results in significant expense to the owner of the encroaching structure.
With the questions raised we are bringing this item to the Council for discussion and
direction regarding City policy for unpermitted encroachments.
There is a procedure in place allowing any person to apply for an encroachment permit
which provides City full discretion to allow an encroachment if there is a recognizable
and reasonable need to access the right of way. However, approval of these permits is
typically only issued for temporary construction access or installation of utility
infrastructure. If granted, the permittee is required to execute a hold harmless
agreement protecting the City from liability.
DISCUSSION:
10
Packet Pg. 234
A Right-of-Way is a legal right established by usage or grant to pass over a specific
route through grounds or property belonging to another. There need be no specific
purpose for the access. For our purposes most streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and
parkways are considered a public right of way. The size and configuration of the right-
of-way vary from street to street. Rights-of-way are generally used for the public
movement of vehicles, pedestrians and goods.
An Easement is the right to cross over or otherwise use someone else’s property for a
specified purpose. The most common easements include access, sewer, ingress and
egress, utility, parking, etc. Easements, such as a sewer or other utility easement can
contain important and/or sensitive infrastructure or can be reserved for future expansion
of existing system. A sewer easement typically contains sewer mainlines of varying
sizes, but usually 8 inches in diameter.
It is common practice for Cities to require all new developments to dedicate to the City
an easement for a public right of way if none exists. As a result of this practice over the
years, the City has gained possession of easements which typically run 10 feet from the
street over the property. As a result, the City has a right of way easement on both sides
of almost every street. If for any reason a City decides it does not need an easement, it
can vacate it and the owner of the real property thereunder would regain full control of
the area vacated.
These easements are held by the City for many purposes. In the present they allow for
public movement, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage, planning purposes, and
frequently overlay underground utility infrastructure. They are also held for future
development. In the event a residential or commercial development increases density
over the next 50, 100, 200 years the City has the ability to widen streets. By reserving
these easements now the city preserves its ability to adjust to meet unknown future
needs.
Most cities do not allow construction within the public right of way or public easements.
In the event there exists a good reason to construct in the right of way or public
easement, the City has a process for applying for an encroachment permit. An
important part of the permit process is the requirement that the permittee execute a hold
harmless agreement which helps reduce potential liability to the City resulting from the
encroachment. Without the permit, the city does not have any such protection and
liability may actually be increased. Even with a hold harmless, there is no perfect
protection as the protection only runs to the extent the encroaching party, or their
insurance, can pay to defend the City and the City is often viewed as the “deep pockets”
and blamed for negligent supervision or repair of the right of way despite.
Typically permits are issued to allow temporary access for development of private
properties or to install utility infrastructure. However, it is unusual to allow a permanent
encroachment which is not a utility. In addition to the problems this can cause for
potential future expansions of the streets, any infrastructure beneath the easement,
such as gas, electric, or sewer utility lines, may be damaged by the construction
10
Packet Pg. 235
footings of the encroaching structure or be made difficult to access for repair and
maintenance. A permanent encroachment could also potentially hinder the City’s
ability to maintain streets, curb, or gutters to the extent access is hindered. Such
repair and maintenance is an important aspect of the City’s protection from liability.
Within City rights-of-way there are many reasons to not allow permanent structures
to encroach. In fact it is current policy that any encroachment into the public right of way
requires a permit and anything constructed without such permit must be removed or a
permit acquired. Permits are most typically issued to utilities or property owners
installing utilities to their property through the right-of-way. It is uncommon to allow a
permanent encroachment for something like a fence or block wall which could be
constructed within the property line. However, if we do not require removal, then not
allowing maintenance and repair of an existing encroaching structure may increase the
City’s liability for damage resulting from such structure because the City is responsible
for maintenance and repair of the city right-of-way.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council uphold the existing City policy of not allowing any
unpermitted encroachments onto City easements or City Right-of-Way and to discuss
policy and provide direction regarding enforcement in regards to existing unpermitted
encroachments for which the owner seeks repair and maintenance.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Continuation of Twenty-Third Amendment to Law
Enforcement Services Contract No. 94-797 With County of
San Bernardino
PRESENTED BY: Cynthia Fortune, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Twenty-Third Amendment to Law Enforcement
Services Contract No. 94-797 with County of San Bernardino
and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1, “Ensuring Our Fiscal Viability,” through the
continuous monitoring of expenditure budgets, allocations, and operational costs.
This staff report also supports Goal #2, “Maintain Public Safety,” by ensuring adequate
staff levels for police services for our Community.
BACKGROUND:
Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the County of San Bernardino for law
enforcement services provided through the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department. Each fiscal year, cities which contract for law enforcement services are
required to approve a contract amendment that specifies the level of services for the
year (Schedule "A" - pages 3 & 4 of Attachment “A”), which is then approved by the
County Board of Supervisors.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council of the City of Grand Terrace is anticipated to adopt its FY 2016/2017
budget by June 28, 2016. The Twenty-third Amendment to this Agreement (FY
2016/2017) updates the cost of law enforcement services that will be provided in FY
2016/2017 by a proposed 2.0% increase.
As stated in the original 94-797 contract, law enforcement duties to the city shall
include:
enforcement of state statutes;
enforcement of city ordinances;
traffic enforcement;
specialized enforcement such as arson, homicide, juvenile, and narcotics
enforcement;
and attendance at City meetings.
12
Packet Pg. 244
These services shall be provided by the County personnel as specified in the attached
Schedule “A.”
The City will retain the FY 2015/2016 staffing level and hours worked by Sheriff staff;
20 hours per week for detective/corporal (1,040 hours per year) and 208 hours per
week for the deputy sheriff position (10,816 hours per year). All other terms and
conditions of the contract will remain the same as stated therein.
The below summarizes the annual hours per position.
Table 1
Personnel

Lieutenant 0.21 8.5 442.0
Sergeant 0.90 36.0 1,872.0
Detective 0.56 20.0 1,040.0
Deputy Sheriff 5.76 208.0 10,816.0
Professional Staff 1.40 56.0 2,912.0
TOTAL 8.83 328.5 17,082.0
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Twenty-third Amendment to the Agreement for law enforcement services is a
contractual obligation of $1,709,111 for FY2016-17, primarily of the General Fund. The
state budget for this fiscal year maintains Supplemental Law Enforcement Services
Fund/Community-Oriented Policing Services (SLESF/COPS) funding for local
government, which is $100,000 for Grand Terrace.
Although the total contract amount of $1,709,111 submitted by the Sheriff’s Department
only represents a 2% increase from the current year’s amount of $1,676,200, the City’s
FY2016-17 will include a 4% increase in the proposed budget for law enforcement. The
Sheriff’s Department has informed us that they are still in negotiations with several of
the public safety unions and recommends the City exercise prudence should the
agreements of these negotiations result in salary increases. The proposed budget for
law enforcement for FY2016-17 will total $1,743,250 (4% more than the current
FY2015-16 budget of $1,676,200).

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Summer Swim Program
PRESENTED BY: G. Harold Duffey, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize the City Manager to use up to $16,000 in
2014-15 fund balance for the 2016 Summer Swim Program.
The funds were originally earmarked for a Business
Incubator Program; and
2. Approve Contract (Attachment IV) with Boys and Girls
Club of Greater Redlands-Riverside to operate the City of
Grand Terrace’s 2016 Summer Swim Program in the amount
not to exceed $16,000; and
3. Direct the City Manager to submit joint use agreement
with the Colton Joint Unified School District Board (CJUSD)
for use of the Grand Terrace High School Pool for the City’s
2016 Summer Swim Program and return after CJUSD Board
approval to the City Council for ratification of agreement.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #4 to develop and implement successful partnerships by
working collaboratively with community groups to facilitate the delivery of services
benefitting youth, seniors and our community.
BACKGROUND
Over the past six months, City staff and Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD)
staff discussed re-establishing the Joint Use Agreement between the City and CJUSD,
which lapsed July 1, 2014. City staff developed a strategy and was preparing to call a
meeting with the sports leagues and other community groups. City staff was also
working on a summer swim program to be held at Terrace Hills Middle School.
However, due to the change in staff at CJUSD, it is unlikely that the pool can be
repaired and be in good working condition by summer. However, the Superintendent
offered the pool at Grand Terrace High School as a one year site for the City’s Summer
Swim Program.
DISCUSSION
On October 27, 2015 the City Council approved Quality of Life Enhancement and
Preservation projects (QLEAP) in the amount of $477,000. The QLEAP projects were
funded from unused 2014-15 funds (fund balance). The staff presented 17 programs to
the Council (Attachment 1) to enhance the quality of life of residents of Grand Terrace
13
Packet Pg. 251
by using the fund balance for one time programs. Eleven of the seventeen programs
were implemented or are underway.
In order for the City to support the Summer Swim Program, staff is recommending
Council shift QLEAP program funding of $16,000 from the Business Incubator Program
to the 2016 Summer Swim Program. The additional resources needed to support the
program will be supported by fees of $7.00 (individual) for a six week season pass or a
$25.00 family (two adults and up to 4 children) fee. Additional fees will be charged for
lessons.
The Summer Swim Program will be operated by the Boys and Girls Club of Greater
Redlands-Riverside. Their proposal (Attachment II) includes programming for seniors,
youth and families. The proposal costs are based on hours for staff. The final menu of
programs and specific hours of those programs will be finalized with City staff.
CJUSD Board will only meet once in June, so staff is requesting the Council authorize
the City Manager to submit a joint use agreement to CJUSD Board for the use of Grand
Terrace High School Pool and upon their approval bring the item back to the Council for
ratification (sample/previous agreement-Attachment III).
FISCAL IMPACT:
City staff estimates the program will cost approximately $20,000 to implement. Staff is
estimating that a minimum of $4,000 (season passes and lesson fees) will be generated
from fees and charges. The program will not create any additional impact to the general
fund as the program will be funded from 2014-15 fund balance already appropriated in
the QLEAP program.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2016
TITLE: Amendment No. 7 to the Waste Disposal Agreement
Between the City of Grand Terrace and the County of San
Bernardino
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Adopt a RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA,
ADOPTING AMENDMENT NO. 7 , TO THE WASTE
DISPOSAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF
SAN BERNARDINO AND THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE; and
2) Authorize the Mayor to Sign the Agreement.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #4, Work Collaboratively with Community Groups, Private
and Public Sector Agencies to Facilitate the Delivery of Services Benefitting Youth,
Seniors & Our Community.
BACKGROUND:
In 1998 the City of Grand Terrace entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA)
with the County of San Bernardino (County), obligating the City to deliver all
controllable waste to the San Timoteo Landfill for 15 years and obligating the
County to provide capacity for that waste at the lowest tipping fee rate. A total of 15
cities in the County became signatories to identical agreements.
The Original WDA has been amended a number of times since then to extend the term
of the Agreement; increase allowable tonnage, or revise the rates. The most recent
amendment was Amendment No. 6, approved by the City Council in 2012 to extend the
term of the agreement to June 30, 2016.
DISCUSSION:
In 2015 an Ad·Hoc Committee was formed by the WDA City Managers for the
purposes of negotiating with the County for an extension to the WDA Contract For
the past year, the Ad-Hoc Committee and the County have met to discuss the
various amendments to the WDA proposed by the County prior to the expiration of the
WDA (June 30, 2016). Based on these discussions, county staff and city/ town
managers have agreed to recommend WDA Amendment No. 7 to their respective
Councils and Board.
14
Packet Pg. 301
The proposed Amendment No. 7 will change the expiration term of the WDAs to
June 30, 2021, allow for a reduction in the WDA rate (from $39.38 to $37 per ton),
require the County to hold an annual meeting to discuss the financial statement for
the County landfill system, and include language for sharing the net revenue of In-
County Non-WDA waste generated based on the revenue sharing formula in Section
8.4 of Amendment No. 7.
The county staff has requested that the 15 cities/towns present the WDA
Amendment No. 7 to each respective Council for review and approval. Amendment
No. 7 shall be effective if and only when all 15 cities/towns have each adopted and
executed said amendment and such amendment has been adopted and executed
by the County on or before June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A positive fiscal impact could be realized. As stated above, the County has agreed to
share the revenue received from In-County Non-WDA cities with the WDA cities as a
benefit of the WDA contract. The revenue would be split 50/50 between the
County and the WDA Cities. The WDA Cities would then split that 50% based on
the following formula:
1. 50% of the revenue shall be divided equally among the WDA cities
2. 50% shall be divided among the WDA cities based on a per capita calculation
As an example, if the City of San Bernardino' s waste (70,000 tons) that is hauled by
Burrtec is brought back in to the County Landfill System, Grand Terrace’s share,
based on the above formula, would be approximately would be approximately
$15,653.75 This is also shown on Exhibit B of the amended Agreement.
