assist the City with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) services

a one year agreement not to exceed $25,000 for said services.
DISCUSSION:
On August 15, 2023, the City of Grand Terrace received a proposal for NPDES support

August 15, 2023 Konrad Bolowich City Manager City of Grand Terrace 22795 Barton Road
Grand Terrace, CA 92313 REF: NPDES Support Service for FY23-24 Dear Mr. Bolowich:
We are pleased to submit the following proposal to provide NPDES inspection and support services to the City of Grand Terrace for fiscal year 2023-2024. We are currently providing the following services to the city, and would propose to continue providing those services: Preparation of Annual Report – Using data from the CloudCompli and city information, we will prepare all necessary forms and submittals, including certification letters necessary to complete and submit to the San Bernardino County NPDES Program by the statutory and established deadlines. We have been preparing these reports for the City since Fiscal Year 2013-2014.
Attendance at Monthly General Management Meetings – Under the terms of the existing NPDES Permit, the City is required to attend 11 of the scheduled General Management Meetings. Our work includes attending the meetings, reviewing budget and program elements, and making recommendations for action items. Typically, this includes voting on routine matters that may come before the General Management Meeting. In addition, we represent the city at all of the County’s Fiscal subcommittee meetings and are currently co-chair of the Fiscal subcommittee.
NPDES Permit Renewal – The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board presented a new Regional MS4 Permit in FY21-22. Currently, the Permit is undergoing extensive review by the Tri-County Group, consisting of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Our work will continue to review, comment and advocate for the city during the permit renewal process. This may include attending special Permittee meetings held to review and discuss the elements of the proposed permit, reviewing and making proposed language changes to the Regional Board, attendance at workshops and Regional Board hearings, and other activities in support of the permit renewal. Our team for this effort includes our subconsultant CG Resource Management and Engineering, Inc. and it’s principal Cynthia Gabaldon. Commercial and Industrial Inspection Programs – During the past eight years, we have conducted the City’s
NPDES inspection program on both Commercial and Industrial sites that are subject to the requirements of the permit. Typically, this involves reviewing the City’s business license list for new businesses as well as past inspections, and conducting inspections of high, medium and low priority businesses as set forth in the permit.
This typically has been no more than 50 inspections per year, although the number varies due to the number of medium and low priority businesses that are only required to be inspected every two or five years respectively. High priority businesses are required to be inspected annually, and normally includes full-service restaurants and
auto service businesses, as well as any industrial businesses that are subject to the Industrial General Permit or have the potential for release of pollutants to the MS4 system.

12 Nevada Street, Suite A Redlands, California, 92373 Office: 909-894-4425
For the upcoming Fiscal Year, we are recommending that we perform the following additional services. Inspection of Post Construction BMPS – Under the current permit, the city is required to inspect the Post Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are set forth under within each of the applicable Water Quality Management Plans that have been previously approved by the City. We are recommending that the eleven existing WQMP BMPs be inspected in this upcoming year in order to bring the City into compliance with the permit. For the FY22-23 period, we expended approximately $6,400 in support for this work. For FY23-24 and allowing for the on-going permit renewal efforts, we anticipate that a not-to-exceed of $8,000.00 will be adequate for the above work efforts. Our firm has been able to “share the costs” for the Permit review between our clients, thus resulting in a savings to each City.
We are proposing the following hourly rates for services:

for our travel to the site under “Other”. Post Construction BMPs are also a fixed price per inspection. All inspection rates are fully burdened, and include travel and administrative preparation time, as well as data entry.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2023 Council Item
TITLE: Second Amendment to City Manager Employment
Agreement
PRESENTED BY: Adrian Guerra, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution Approving Second Amendment to City
Manager’s Employment Agreement
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports all adopted goals and all adopted Core Values of the City
Council’s 2030 Vision.
BACKGROUND:
On January 3, 2022, Konrad Bolowich, commenced services as the City Manager of the
City, pursuant to the City of Grand Terrace City Manager Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) between the Employee and the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace
(“City Council”). On August 9, 2022, the City Council approved the First Amendment to
the Agreement, which provided Mr. Bolowich a 2% salary increase.
DISCUSSION:
Section 2.2 of the Agreement provides for a salary increase to be effective July 1, 2023,
following a performance review of the City Manager and in the event he has achieved
the goals established for him by the City Council, as determined by the City Council in
its discretion. The City Council recently conducted a performance review of Mr.
Bolowich, and desires to enter into a second amendment to the Agreement (“Second
Amendment”). The Second Amendment, if approved, would increase his annual base
salary from $215,424 to $219,732.48 effective July 1, 2023. Additionally, the City
Manager’s vacation leave accrual rate would be increased to 6.15 hours per pay period,
to equal 160 hours annually.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2023/24 budget includes funds for the two percent (2%) annual base salary
increase described above, General Fund Account #10-120-110-000-000. Therefore,
there will be no fiscal impact to this year’s budget with this action.

and any rights afforded to Employee under the Grand Terrace Municipal Code (including
Sections 2.08.210 through 2.08.270) or under State or Federal law, including Government Code
54950 et seq. ("Brown Act"), to any form of pre- or post- discipline or termination hearing,
appeal, or other administrative process pertaining to discipline or termination, except those rights
Employee may have under the California or United States constitutions to a name-clearing
hearing. Such rights waived under this Section 3.5 include the right under the Brown Act
Government Code §54957(b)) to have complaints or charges against an employee heard in a
public session upon Employee's request.
3.6 Limitation on Termination Following Election. Employee shall not be
removed from office, other than for cause as defined in Section 3.4(a) above, during or within a
period of ninety (90) days next succeeding any general municipal election held in the City at
which election a member of the City Council is elected or when a new City Councilmember is
appointed.
4.0 SEVERANCE
4.1 Severance Pay. Notwithstanding GTMC §2.08.040(C), if the Council
terminates Employee without cause and Employee does not challenge such termination,
including but not limited to by means of appeal or civil or administrative claim, then City shall
pay to Employee severance in an amount equal to his monthly base salary (as defined in Section
2 above, calculated on a per diem basis) then in effect multiplied by six (6), less applicable
deductions and excluding deferred compensation or the value of any other benefits.
In addition, the City shall extend to Employee the right to continue health insurance as may be
required by and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1986 ("COBRA"). As permitted by Government Code § 53261, City
agrees to pay Employee's COBRA coverage for one (1) month or until Employee finds other
employment,whichever occurs first.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Government Code Section 53260 provides that all contracts of
employment with a city must include a provision limiting the maximum cash settlement for the
termination of the contract to the monthly salary (excluding benefits) multiplied by the number
of months left on the unexpired term,but not more than 18 months if the unexpired term exceeds
18 months. Accordingly, should such proposed severance payment exceed the amount authorized
to be paid under Government Code Section 53260, then the amount paid to Employee shall be
reduced in the amount necessary to comply with such statute. (For example, if termination
occurs with two (2) months left in the term, severance would be equal to the monthly base salary
multiplied by two (2)rather than the six(6)months provided in this Section.)
4.2 No Severance Pay if Termination for Cause or Initiated by Employee. As
provided in Section 3.4(a), should Employee be terminated for cause, the City shall have no
obligation to pay the severance provided for in Section 4.1 above. As provided in Section 3.3,
should Employee initiate termination of this Agreement, the City shall have no obligation to pay
the severance provided for in Section 4.1 above.
4.3 Sole Rights. The severance rights provided in this Section 4.0 shall
constitute the sole and only entitlement of Employee with respect to severance pay in the event

with respect to the nature and privileges of an individual's employment on the basis that the
individual is age forty (40) or older. The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (hereinafter
referred to as the "OWBPA," 29 U.S.C. § 626, et seq., Pub L 101-433, 104 Stat. 978 (1990))
further augments the ADEA and prohibits the waiver of any right or claim under the ADEA,
unless the waiver is knowing and voluntary. By entering into this AGREEMENT,
EMPLOYEE acknowledges that he knowingly and voluntarily, for just compensation in addition
to anything of value to which EMPLOYEE was already entitled, waives and releases any rights
he may have under the ADEA and/or OWBPA. EMPLOYEE further acknowledges that he has
been advised and understands,pursuant to the provisions of the ADEA and OWBPA,that:

This provides one officer on a 24/7 basis and about 10 hours per day for peak demand
staffing. Assignments of additional general fund resources for law enforcement will
require reduction or curtailment of other basic services in the City, such as closing
parks.
DISCUSSION:
Current law enforcement staffing is at a level that provides basic services to the
community. There are instances where resources from neighboring communities are
required. Current staffing precludes dedicated traffic enforcement resources,
neighborhood watch programs, community-based outreach, and additional resources
committed to proactive services.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2023 Council Item
TITLE: Code Enforcement Compliance Activities
PRESENTED BY: Konrad Bolowich, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council Receive and File.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #5, Engage in Proactive Communication
BACKGROUND:
Code Enforcement is an important mechanism to help maintain a high quality of life, as
well as, to preserve the health and safety of the community. The city has specific codes
relating to weed abatement, off-site and street parking, and RV storage.
DISCUSSION:
The city has seen an increase in violations of codes associated with weed abatement,
off-site and street parking, and RV storage. Staff will be engaged in proactive
enforcement relating to these issues. Staff will be patrolling with an emphasis on
identifying and mitigating these issues. Staff will be using this as an opportunity to
educate the residents on the expectations within the code and allow the resident to
bring their site into compliance. The goal is to maintain a safe, clean, and attractive
community through cooperative resident compliance. In those cases where staff is
unable to bring about compliance through education, staff will engage in more direct
enforcement activities as described in the city’s Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
