CRA ITEM ( X) COUNCIL ITEM O MEETING DATE: 9-14-00
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Extension of the Bond Term and Amendment of
Financing Documents Related Thereto With Respect to the$30,000,000 CRA
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Mt. Vernon Villas Project) 1985
Series A
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
On January 13,2000 at the Community Redevelopment Agency regular meeting a public hearing
was held as required by section 147(f)of the Internal Revenue Code. At that time it was heard and
considered information concerning the re-issuance and the extension of the maturity thereof relating
to the 556-unit multifamily rental housing project known as "The Highlands". Ownership at that
time had changed from the original developer,Forest City Dillon,to North Waterford Apartments.
Included in the amendment was the requirement that the 20%set aside for low and moderate income
units be required to be available through the life of the bond; a period of 30 years. Had this,
amendment not taken place the original covenant on the bonds allowed the 20%set aside to expire
at the end of the year 2000. At that time the indenture was also modified to substitute the credit
enhancements from a letter of credit.to a Fannie Mae mortgage guarantee for the life of the 30 year
period. The refinanced balance is approximately $22,000,000 paid down from the original
$30,000,000 issue.
The agency will receive a fee of 1/8 basis points which will be in excess of$20,000 for it's role in
facilitating this transaction. As with all of our conduit housing revenue bonds there is no exposure
to the redevelopment agency itself. The bond payment is secured both by the Fannie Mae mortgage
guarantee as well as the revenue stream from the rents on the project and as a final recourse is
guaranteed by the actual real estate value of the project itself so that the Agency has absolutely no
exposure in the financial transaction.
In summary we are facilitating the extension maturity of the bond,making some minor amendments
to the indenture and requiring that the 20%set aside be maintained for the additional 30 year period.
It is very important as we are relying on the 112 units to help meet our low and mod housing
requirement under our general plan housing element.

CITY COUNCIL ITEM () MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 2000
SUBJECT: BRENTWOOD STREET TRAFFIC PROJECT
FUNDING REQUIRED
BACKGROUND:
(This item was continued from the August 24, 2000 City Council Meeting, pending the
receipt of a petition from residents on Brentwood St. who are requesting speed humps in lieu
of a Stop Sign. As of the deadline for the submittal of Agenda Reports, no petition has been
received.)
At the request of members of council, staff has investigated traffic conditions on Brentwood
Street between Preston and Mount Vernon in response to complaints of speeding traffic.
Staff was requested to investigate the feasibility of installing speed humps on Brentwood Street.
For reasons cited in the attached investigation report prepared by the City's traffic consultant,
staff is not recommending installation of speed humps on Brentwood Street.
As an alternative, the traffic consultant has recommended installation of All Way.Stop Signs on
Brentwood Street at Thames Street. This measure will reduce traffic speeds on the approaches
to the intersection and provide a measure of protection for the schoolchildren who cross this
intersection on a daily basis.
The cost for installation of stop signs at this intersection is estimated at approximately $600. It
is recommended that General Fund revenues be appropriated for installation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to appropriate`$600 from the Gas Tax Fund for the purpose of installation of All
Way Stop Signs on Brentwood Street at Thames Street.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approximately $600

From: Craig S. Neustaedter, P.E.,
Traffic Engineering Consultant
Subject: Proposal to Install Speed Humps on Brentwood Street
Issue:
The City of Grand Terrace-has expressed interest to install speed humps on Brentwood
Street between Preston and Mount Vernon. This proposal has been made in response
residents' complaints about excessive speeding on Brentwood Street.
Project Area:
Brentwood Street between Preston and Mount Vernon is approximately one-half mile
(2628 feet) in length. The segment between Preston and Thames is 1143 feet and the
segment between Thames and Mount Vernon is 1485 feet.
The street is 36 feet wide. Stop signs are located on Brentwood Street on the
eastbound approach to Preston and the westbound approach to Mount Vernon.
Adjacent development is primarily residential, with 53 dwelling units fronting Brentwood
Street. In addition, the Terrace View Elementary School is located on the north side of
Brentwood, on the opposite side of the intersection at Thames.
Traffic Characteristics:
The collection of traffic counts and a speed survey were completed on June 13, 2000.
These data were collected at the intersection of Brentwood Street with Thames,
adjacent to the Terrace View Elementary School. The school was in session on the
date that the traffic data were collected. The attached figure summarizes the traffic
data.
Traffic counts: the average daily traffic (ADT) on Brentwood, east of Thames is 486_
For the segment west of Thames, it is 634 ADT. Thames, south of Brentwood has an
ADT of 171. These traffic volumes are not excessive for a residential street.
Traffic speeds: in evaluating the speed characteristics of an individual street, two
statistics are considered as most relevant. The first is "vehicle pace" which is the 10-
2
mile per hour increment of speed in which the largest volume of traffic is observed to be
traveling. The second statistic is the 85th percentile speed. This is the highest speed at
which 85 percent of traffic is observed to `be traveling. According to the California
Vehicle Code, the 85th percentile speed is used to determine arterial speed zones that
can be enforced with radar or other electronic means. This provision of the CVC is
applicable to streets that are at least 40 feet wide, and have an uninterrupted length of
at least one-half mile. Brentwood Street is less than 40 feet wide; consequently, the
85th percentile speed would not be applicable in determining .a speed zone that is radar
enforceable for this street. Based on the CVC, the prima facie speed limit for Brentwood
Street is 25 mph.
The speed survey that was taken on June 13 showed the pace,of traffic to be between
26 and 35 mph. The 85th percentile speed was observed to be 35 mph. These
observed speed characteristics on Brentwood Street are not inconsistent with typical
speed characteristics for comparable residential streets.

Traffic Collisions:
Traffic collision records were reviewed for the most recent three-year period that is
available to the City at this time: January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999. The purpose
of this review was to identify all recorded collisions for Brentwood Street. The database
of traffic. collisions is maintained by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). It should be
Transportation Engineering and Planning, Inc.

noted that most collisions that involve property damage only are not recorded in the
CHP database.
There are records of four collisions during the three-year period that was reviewed. The
collision rate for Brentwood is high in comparison to other residential streets. Based on
the four records that were available, no pattern was identified that would indicate that
speeding is a primary factor for collisions on Brentwood Street.
The following is a summary of the collisions that were identified:
Date: Cross Street: Type: Injuries/fatalities:
December 27 1997 Thames Head-on no
January 17 1998 Holley Sideswipe no
February 6 1998 Mount Vernon Broadside no
February 14 1999 Mount Vernon Broadside yes
Speed Humps:
Speed humps are a controversial means to control traffic speeds on residential streets.
Several issues pertaining to the installation of speed humps on Brentwood Street
warrant discussion. These are as follows:
Roadway grade: speed humps are not recommended for streets with significant grades.
The segment of Brentwood, east of Thames, is too steep for speed humps.
Driveways: speed humps should not be installed at locations that conflict with
driveways. Only two locations were found where speed .humps could be installed
without conflicting with the residential driveways that take access from Brentwood
Street. These are located approximately 575 feet and 1110 ft. east of the intersection
with Mount Vernon Avenue.
Street lighting: there is no street lighting on Brentwood Street except for some oversize
yard lights provided by several residences. It is recommended that speed humps only
be installed at locations with adequate street lighting that is needed to improve the
visibility of the humps at night.
Public support: the City staff met with Brentwood residents on May 25, 2000 to
determine their support for installation of speed humps. Approximately 30 people
attended this _meeting. A survey was taken of their support. According to City staff
records, 28 people voted who represented 21 of the 53 households on Brentwood. Of
these 19 (68 percent) supported installation and nine (32 percent) opposed it. Although
this shows a significant margin of support by the residents who attended this meeting, it
does not conclusively demonstrate that a majority of the residents would- support
installation of speed humps. In other communities speed humps have been found to be
a very controversial means for controlling residential traffic speed. It is not
recommended that speed humps be installed unless it is verified that a "supermajority"
of all residents actually supports them.
Transportation Engineering and Planning, Inc.

Designation as an approved traffic control device (TCD): in California, the reference
manual that identifies approved traffic control devices is the Caltrans' Traffic Manual. At
a Council Meeting on June 6, 2000, the City Attorney correctly noted that speed humps
are not an approved TCD. The City Attorney has expressed concern that the city faces
potential liability;due to this fact. Other cities have declined to install speed humps due
-to this concern, while other cities have installed them without concern about potential
liability.
Alternatives:
1. Continue to monitor traffic conditions on Brentwood Street, and develop a
comprehensive, Citywide policy on speed control.
As noted above, although there have been complaints about speeding on Brentwood
Street, its speed profile is typical for comparable residential streets. If the City decides
to install speed humps or take some other measure to control speeds on Brentwood, it
should expect that it would have,to take similar action when it receives a complaint in
the future for a residential street with a similar speed profile. This could force the.City to
enact a very aggressive and costly program of residential street speed control.
It is recommended that the City review this issue in a comprehensive manner, and
develop an overall policy concerning residential street speed control, prior to taking
action on Brentwood, or any other single street.
2. Install additional stop signs on Brentwood Street.
The Caltrans' Traffic Manual, does not recommend the installation of stop signs as' a
means to control traffic speed. Nevertheless, many jurisdictions use stop signs to
control traffic speed with limited effectiveness.
The most logical place to install additional stop signs on Brentwood Street would be at
the intersection with Thames. There is a large volume of pedestrian traffic at this
intersection due to the elementary school that is located on the north side of the street.
In addition, there is a crosswalk located on the west leg of the intersection.
Installation of stop signs on all three approaches to .this intersection would provide a
measure of increased protection for the students who cross here on a daily basis. In
addition, the stop signs would cause vehicle traffic on Brentwood to slow down as it.
approaches the controlled intersection from the east and west. The distance in which
speed would be reduced should not be expected to be more than 200 feet east and
west of the intersection.

FUNDING REQUIRED XX
NO FUNDING REQUIRED
As the Council is aware, in 1995 the County of San Bernardino signed an MOU with 12 of the 15
cities within the San Bernardino Valley, including Grand Terrace, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service,the California Department of Fish and Game, and several utility companies,to prepare a
Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan(MSHCP) for the San Bernardino Valley.
Once prepared the MSHCP will protect endangered,threatened,and other sensitive plant and animal
species so as to permit further development in the San Bernardino Valley without excessive delays
because of biological issues. The current species set to be studied are the Delhi Sands Flower-
loving Fly,the Upper Santa Ana Wash plan,which is designed to protect the Woolly Star(a plant),
also the Gnat Catcher and the Kangaroo Rat
Where the City of Grand Terrace is most likely to be effected is for development of our foothill area
on the other side of Honey Hills. During a biological study that was done in conjunction with the
proposed development there was a sighting of a mature Gnat Catcher which would require the
developer to do some mitigation. Having this plan in place may allow us to do some mitigation on
a regional basis and therefore not forcing us to treat these endangered species individually but rather
approach them as a regional effort.
State and Federal Endangered Species Act prohibit the "take" (killing,harming, or harassment)of
plant or animal species that are listed on the endangered or threatened list under the federal law.
Species "take" includes the loss of the species habitat that occur during development such as
building,paving etc.
Without the MSHCP individual project applicants would be required to demonstrate compliance
with the endangered species law by preparing expensive biological reports,buying off-site habitat
lands,and undertake other measures to avoid impact to the species. This would likely add expense,
delays, and uncertainty to the land development process. The adoption of the MSHCP will avoid
these complications and will be much less expensive and time consuming for future development
of potential sensitive areas.
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. ��
Funding is a critical factor in the preparation of the plan. The County of San Bernardino has been
successful in acquiring federal funds on a one by one matching basis. The County has committed
to $250,000 in cash plus in kind work in the amount of$180,000 leaving a funding commitment
balance of$555,000. Much negotiation has taken place in coming up with a cost sharing structure
that would be the most equitable. Originally the balance of the contribution was going to be split
evenly amongst the 12 cities and we felt that that would be un-equitable for a city the size of Grand
Terrace to pay the same as a city the size of Ontario or San Bernardino so a new distribution plan
(attached)was developed that took into consideration our land mass as well as our population and
came up with a percentage. I still think in some ways it's not perfectly equitable; we're paying
approximately half of what some of the other larger communities are paying but at some point the
amount we participate in has to be at least significant in order to get some decent work product for
our city. They have given the option of having us pay our share of$27,750 upfront or to pay it over
a 3 year period. Since-the option does not require any interest there is no additional expense to make
the 3 year payment plan it would make the most sense for us from a cash flow standpoint to budget
for this on a 3 yr basis,therefore,we would request that an appropriation from the City be made to
provide $9,250 in this years budget to fund our contribution to the plan.
The City of Grand Terrace is in no position on its own to develop such a plan as being proposed by
the County, and therefore it would make the best sense for us should we wish to participate in this
plan to go in with an agreement to do cost sharing and come up with a regional plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1. COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT TO CREATE A
MULTI-SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE SAN BERNARDINO T
VALLEY. THE CITY'S SHARE WILL BE $27,750 OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS.
2. THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE AN APPROPRIATION OF $9,250 FROM THE
UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCE TO FUND THIS YEAR'S'CONTRIBUTION TO THE
MULTI-SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN.

CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (XX) MEETING DATE:
SUBJECT: Termination of Transit Shelter Agreement with Eller-Media
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
Please see the attached letter from Eller Media. Our current agreement with Eller'Media expired
on November 9, 1999 and they do not wish to continue providing the bus stop shelter service in the
City. I assume that due to the low use of the bus line here in Grand Terrace that their sale of
advertising probably falls below the minimum threshold needed for them to maintain the bus stop
shelters. Currently they have ads that are sold and inserted in the bus stop shelter walls and the City
receives a 10%commission from their advertising revenues. Based on that,the company desires to
terminate the agreement but have offered us the option to purchase each of the shelters for$1,000
per shelter and assume responsibility for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the shelters.
Currently there are four bus stop shelters in the City of grand Terrace. Due to the changes made in
the bus service only two of the four bus shelters are actually being used as ongoing bus stops,the
other bus stops have moved over time and the shelters are not in the correct location.
The City of Grand Terrace is not a very active bus riding community. The shelters at the bus stops
and bus service see limited service. It is my recommendation that rather than spend $4,000 to
purchase the shelters or spend funds on ongoing maintenance and repair as well as the cost of the
manpower required to keep the shelters in a presentable manner, that we notify the Eller Media
company, by letter,that the City of Grand Terrace does not wish to take over the bus stop shelters
and pursuant to the agreement that they may remove them within 60 days.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
COUNCIL AUTHORIZE STAFF TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ELLER MEDIA COMPANY
AND INDICATE TO THEM THAT THE CITY DOES NOT. HAVE AN INTEREST IN
PURCHASING AND MAINTAINING THE SHELTERS IN THE FUTURE AND ASK THAT
THEY BE REMOVED.

Re: Termination of Transit Shelter Agreement
Dear Mr. Schwab:
Eller Media currently owns and operates transit shelters on the public right-of-way
throughout the City of Grand Terrace. The term of the agreement has expired and Eller
Media does not wish to continue providing the transit amenity program in your city.
Since the transit shelters have been in you-community for a long time and your citizens
have grown accustomed to them,Eller Media will sell the shelters to your city for a
nominal cost of$1000 each;as is. Your city would be responsible for the on-going .--
maintenance, repair and insurance of the shelters.
If your city would like to purchase these sheltersplease agendize this matter or your next
meeting: Should your city determine it does not want the shelters,we will have them
removed per the.terms of the agreement in the next forty-five(45) days.
If you have any questions regarding this matter,please do not hesitate to contact me at
714-289-2015.
Sincerely,
