BACKGROUND: On May 9, 2017, the City Council established guidelines for recognition of individuals, groups, and events of significance to the Grand Terrace community by the issuance of Certificates, Recognitions, Acknowledgements, Commendations, Pins and Proclamations. Proclamations are an official decree by the City Council and will be presented to organizations, dignitaries, members of the Council, and Boards/Commissions, commemorating a special date or event. Proclamations require City Council approval and are signed by the City Council. DISCUSSION: The City of Grand Terrace has received three (3) proclamation requests from three (3) different organizations. Those organizations are: 1. San Bernardino County Children’s Network – Child Abuse Prevention Month 2. Donate Life California - Donate Life Month 3. 2020 Inland Empire Prayer Breakfast – National Day of Prayer Normally these proclamations would be placed under presentations and each organization would receive its proclamation personally; however with the new restrictions put in place based on Executive Order N-29-20 due to COVID-19, no member of the public will be allowed in the Council Chamber. Therefore, these proclamations have been placed on consent for your approval and each of these organizations have been briefed on this change and have asked that the proclamations C.4 Packet Pg. 19 be mailed to each organization. FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Grand Terrace Municipal Code Titles 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13 set forth the specific fee amounts that the City may charge for the City’s various permits, licenses, services, facilities use and activities for the City. The Municipal Code currently requires that any changes, revisions, or updates for these fee amounts have to be established through the ordinance, and, consequently, may only be revised by ordinance. This report is a result of the City Council’s Top Priority Projects List (Fee Study) identified at the June 12, 2019 Priority Workshops. DISCUSSION: The attached proposed Ordinance amends Titles 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13 of the Grand H.5 Packet Pg. 24 Terrace Municipal Code to allow the setting of the fees and deposits found therein by resolution of the City Council. In summary, it modifies the code by replacing specific fee and deposit amounts with language stating that the fees and deposits are to be established by City Council resolution. Additionally, this Ordinance only changes the manner in which the City adopts and updates certain identified fees and deposits in the manner specified and does not repeal or otherwise rescind any previously adopted fees and deposits and does not create new or increase any fees or deposits. Adoption of any new or increased fees and deposits must still comply with applicable requirements of State law. Based upon the foregoing, this proposed Ordinance is necessary for internal consistency, to remove conflicting provisions, and to clearly allow the updating of fees by Council resolution in order to better and more quickly response to changes in the City’s costs. ORDINANCES Currently, fee amounts are established by an ordinance and set forth in the Municipal Code. An Ordinance is generally used to designate a local law of a municipal corporation, enacted by its legislative body or city council that prescribe general, uniform, and permanent rules of conduct. An Ordinance is a legislative act that prescribes some permanent rule of conduct to continue in force until the ordinance is repealed (ex. the City’s street and building codes are designated by ordinance). The City’s ordinance adoption procedures include: 1. California Government Code § 36931 which provides the enacting clause of City ordinances. 2. California Government Code § 36934 which allows for the reading of the title, waiving of the full reading of the ordinance, adopted by the majority vote of City Council. 3. A proposed ordinance goes through a first reading and is its title is publicly read, establishing the local law. 4. Once the City Council has conducted the first reading, a second reading is required, usually, at the following Council meeting. The ordinance is normally adopted at its second reading and must be adopted at a regular City Council meeting. 5. After City Council adoption of the ordinance, it goes into effect on the 31st day following adoption. RESOLUTIONS As a general rule, a Resolution is used to approve administrative actions and not legislative (ordinances usually establish law). Once a resolution is approved by the municipality’s legislative body, it is effective immediately. The establishment of fees are administrative in nature and more often subject to change in order to effectively allow the City to recover its costs for services provided. H.5 Packet Pg. 25 Staff is proposing that Titles 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code be amended so that the fee and deposit amounts in those titles can be adjusted by resolution. The City’s list of fees and deposits, including any adjustments, will be submitted annually to the City Council for review and approval prior to the start of each fiscal year, along with the City’s proposed budget. This will provide City Council the ability to review the complete fee schedule and make changes as necessary by resolution rather than through an ordinance anytime a particular fee needs to be adjusted. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The City Council is therefore asking to introduce and conduct first reading, by title only, the proposed ordinance amending Titles 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. If the City Council adopts staff’s recommendation, then the proposed Ordinance will be brought back to the City Council for second reading and final adoption. Staff will also bring a resolution reaffirming the current fee and deposit amounts currently established in the Municipal Code. No fees are proposed to be revised or adjusted at this time. Rather, prior to the start of each fiscal year, staff will submit the City’s comprehensive fee schedule to City Council for approval highlighting any fees that are proposed for adjustment and justification for such adjustment. This will allow City Council to review all current fees annually and adopt adjustments as necessary. FISCAL IMPACT: While adoption of the Ordinance would not impact the General Fund, moving the adoption of fees by Resolution will allow staff to make recommendations based on actual costs incurred and provide City Council the ability to approve these fees during the normal budgetary process, ensuring full cost recovery of City services. No fees are proposed to be revised or adjusted at this time. ATTACHMENTS: • Ordinance on Fee Code Revision (DOC) APPROVALS: Cynthia A.

WHEREAS, this Ordinance only changes the manner in which the City adopts and updates certain identified fees and deposits in the manner specified, and does not repeal or otherwise rescind any previously adopted fees and deposits and does not create new or increase any fees or deposits. Adoption of any new or increased fees and deposits must still comply with applicable requirements of State law.

Palm prints, photos, in the CAL-ID system when needed for criminal justice and other public safety purposes. The agreement between the City and San Bernardino County will take effect on July 1, 2020 and will be valid through June 30, 2030.

BACKGROUND: The I-215/Barton Road Interchange Project is the largest project in the City of Grand Terrace’s history and will address area safety and traffic capacity concerns. In addition to the freeway improvements, the Project includes several new local street re- alignments, acquisition of property within the City limits and many business relocations. Moreover, the proposed improvements are viewed to be critical to the City’s economic vitality. The Project is funded through the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has the lead role on the construction management of the project. One of the significant re-alignments was Commerce Way. The new alignment created the full intersection with Vivienda and Barton Road. The new intersection is signalized and provides a direct connection to future developments on the west side of the City along the I-215 Freeway. The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council an update on the progress of the interchange Projects. DISCUSSION: This staff report will provide an update on the progress of the projects and highlight some final items that need Council direction. Schedule/Funding H.7 Packet Pg. 57 The 215/Barton Road Project schedule has been delayed from the original completion date of summer of 2019 to May 2020. This is mainly due to longer right of way acquisitions than anticipated, weather delays and material supply issues. No additional funds will be required from the City for project closeout. Enhancements The bridge is completed at this time. The thematic elements are cast into the concrete with form liners. On the structure exterior girder, form liners are used to create mountain ranges reminiscent to the Grand Terrace Mountains. The bridge fencing is black vinyl coated chain link with arching semi-circles across the structure. From the Barton Road view, the mountain form liners are repeated in the bridge barrier rails. The Roundabout hardscape and landscaping themes are being constructed at this time and will include lighting, an irrigation system and landscaping. Given the minimal landscape material that is proposed, the cost of plant on-going maintenance would be minimal. The street lighting is currently the standard metal poles for Caltrans lights and standard concrete poles for City streets. The decorative lighting across the bridge will be maintained by the City. Pavement The current schedule of the Interchange Project would have the final overlay as one of the last orders of work and would be placed this month. The existing Barton Road pavement condition is in a zone where its’ condition has deteriorated at a more rapid rate than if it were earlier in the pavements’ life. The overlay will require some additional thickness, pavement planning and/or the removal and replacement of distressed pavement areas. Additionally, the City has requested that the overlay utilize rubberized asphalt that is a longer lasting and quieter pavement that uses recycled tires. Utilities All utilities in the area were re-aligned, undergrounded or removed as part of the project. Southern California Edison had three aerial electrical power poles located on the south side of Barton Road east of Interstate 215 (near the existing Mobil gas station), that were relocated with the project. The last action that will be needed by City Council regarding the necessary agreements for the project is: • Updated Freeway Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans. It establishes the maintenance responsibilities between the City and Caltrans for pavement, H.7 Packet Pg. 58 lighting and landscaping. This agreement will be brought before the City Council for execution prior to the completion of work. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time.

Harold Duffey, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Our Mission to preserve and protect our community, Goal #2, Maintaining Public Safety and Goal #5, Engage in Proactive Communication. BACKGROUND: On March 18, 2020, the City Manager, in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed an emergency in accordance with California Government Code Section 8630 and Grand Terrace Municipal Code Section 2.28.060. The emergency proclamation is based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City as a consequence of the global spread of a severe acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (“COVID-19).The Proclamation was ratified by the City Council on March 24, 2020. DISCUSSION: Governments worldwide are responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by COVID-19 that was first detected in China and which has now been detected in nearly 184 countries, including the United States. COVID-19 is a serious disease that has killed over 87,000 people worldwide with over 431,000 confirmed cases and over 14,600 deaths in the United States. On March 4, 2020, the Governor of the State of California declared a State of Emergency. On March 10, 2020, the San Bernardino County Health Department proclaimed a Public Health Emergency and the Board of Supervisors issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency due to COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a global pandemic. While we are viewing this worldwide event, we can’t forget, what started out as someone else’s problem has filtered into our own county, community and backyard. At the time of this report, there were approximately 550 cases of COVID-19 detected in San Bernardino County with 17 deaths. If we drill down a little further, the information shows that two cases were detected in the City of Grand Terrace. H.8 Packet Pg. 60 The City’s first and second response agencies are prepared for the impact of COVID-19. The declaration of a local emergency has afforded the City the ability to qualify for State and Federal resources and allows staff the legal authority to quickly respond to changing conditions. This report provides an opportunity for staff to share the latest information and facts regarding the impacts of COVID-19 on the Grand Terrace community. The City’s first responders will be on hand to allow the Council and the community to ask questions. The City continues to operate and deliver most essential services, which predominately consist of enhanced public safety and fire protection services. City Hall remains open but is only accessible via appointment. All parks, the library and most school facilities are also closed to the public. Programs for our most vulnerable citizens (Seniors and students) are operating with modified service. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of COVID-19 is currently unknown, but it could have a significant impact on our revenues. Staff will be returning to the Council on April 28, 2020 to provide strategies to ensure the fiscal health of the City. H.8 Packet Pg. 61 APPROVALS: G.
