Council Member Henderson requested clarification on whether the 2011 Bond Proceeds were the former Redevelopment Agency Bonds and the limitations for use of those bond proceeds. He also asked whether the funds were available for the City to use and in compliance with the bond documents and Redevelopment Plana Assistant City Manager Fortune explained that due to the Redevelopment dissolution, the Department of Finance placed restrictions on spending those funds; however, SB 1186 allowed the City to use five percent (5%) which equates to approximately $289,-000 and the City is spending those funds in accordance with the bond document and approval from City Council.

RESULT: CONSENSUS • • i City of Grand Terrace Page 9 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency December 12, 2017 14.FY2017-18 First.Quarter Financial Report Cynthia Fortune, Assistant City Manager gave the PowerPoint presentation for this item. Council Member Hussey asked City Manager Duffey what types of events were being planned for the City's 40th Birthday. G. Harold Duffey, City Manager explained the City would like to coordinate a yearlong celebration for the events the City currently puts on annually, however it wants to elevate those existing events with funding support from sponsors. An example he provided was for the City's art show. Riverside and Chicago hosted programs for their. cities with specialty products that could be associated with each. city. Riverside hosted an art walk featuring oranges. The City would like to feature a beehive, four (4) feet in diameter, and have corporate sponsors pay for an artist to decorate the beehive and place them throughout the City as an art walk. This would be held in conjunction with the City's annual art show. He also provided additional examples that would be held in, conjunction with the City's Country Fair and a possible firework show to be held simultaneously with the City's Veterans Day Wall of Freedom celebration. Johan Gallo, Grand Terrace questioned whether the $50,000 allocated for additional sheriff coverage was incurred at overtime hours or straight time hours and what is the City doing moving forward on the initiative that the residents have been working on for additional safety. City Manager Duffey explained the appropriation amount being requested is $142,000, the $48,000 that has been spent so far is for the first quarter and all based on overtime. The origin of the $142,000 is the carryover money Council had from 2015-2016. If the $142,000 .is available, it is contingent on the San Bernardino Sheriffs Department's ability to have officers willing to perform overtime. The allocation is not a long-term solution. The City would need to, at some point in time, be able to have increase in services with an additional officer. Lieutenant Doug Wolfe, San Bernardino County-Sheriff explained that his.office has had very few struggles filling the overtime hours, however the concern is sustainability and employee health. A few other local cities utilize the overtime hours which has stretched the agency thin, but it is making it work. Approximately five percent (5%) of the time the agency cannot make it work so the position runs vacant. The long-range goal is to have a permanent employee number associated with the position; a contract obligation. Council Member Hussey expressed his concern with the State's early release program and suggested the City attempt to obtain funding assistance through the State with some grants. 1.

City of Grand Terrace Page 11 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency December 12, 2017 Council Member Hussey wanted to make sure that programs receiving funding pass that savings along to the group's members. V Council Member Henderson asked if there was a limit on the number of times an organization can apply for the Community Benefit funds. Assistant City Manager Fortune stated that the program guidelines limit one activity per year. Council Member Henderson asked without the City's assistance with the program, would there be a negative impact on an organization who would otherwise apply. for funding. Assistant City Manager Fortune stated there could be an impact in some way. Council Member Hussey would like the City to re-evaluate how many times one organization can apply every year so other organizations can apply for funding. G. Harold Duffey, City Manager stated the City has held workshops in the past for organizations to understand how the .program works. The fund has never been depleted, however more organizations are joining, and the City will continue to hold workshops, so more organizations understand that the program is available. One of the requirements to access the funding is to provide the City with credit for participating in the program which was not being done, therefore it was explained to the organizations tom' applying to give the City credit. 1.

Council Member Hussey asked why the City's engineer cannot perform the service request. City of Grand Terrace Page 12 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency December 12, 2017 Director French explained due to the numerous upcoming projects, this contract would provide additional assistance as it relates to the dog park. G. Harold Duffey, City Manager stated this request was made at the City Manager's direction. One of the things happening with the dog park is ADA Accessibility, modification of the park so the slope is correct, making sure the trees can breathe and placing the curb base at the front among other things. Due to the design of the dog park, it is necessary to have someone on-call when the contractor is performing the more detailed tasks to avoid any problems that can arise in the future. Council Member Hussey does not want to spend additional funding for the dog park when the City has an individual on staff that he believes could handle the job. He would like to see the funding requested for this item be diverted to additional public safety. Council Member Wilson agrees with Council Member Hussey, however wants the City Manager to be able to work with his staff to determine the best use. The City will be working on other properties and projects in coordination with the 1-215 Barton Road Interchange. Perhaps now is not the time to spend $4500 on the speed survey and coordinate later to coincide with the 1-215 Barton Road Interchange. His concern and those of residents are cars speeding on Barton Road. A speed analysis was performed. previously that stated 35 was okay, maybe the City doesn't need to go through a bunch . of stuff to undo it. As far as the inspection aspect, the contractor performing the work at the dog park needs to perform the work correctly and if it doesn't, the City holds payment until the work is completed properly. City Manager Duffey explained that funding for the dog park cannot be transferred to public safety. He also stated with the significant cost of the dog park and based on his experience, the inspection service is a good investment to have especially with the location and design of the dog park. The City can have significant impacts if things are not done correctly. Council Member Henderson appreciates his colleagues' comments which are to the benefit to the community if implemented. He noted Director French's project activity reports and it is extensive. There is an aggressive Capital Improvement Program and if the City is going to do everything all at once, help will be needed; both internal and external. Jeffrey McConnell, Grand Terrace feels the contractor and designer hired to perform the work at the dog park should be responsible for their work and if they don't do it right, the contractor and designer should be held liable. He is in favor of something being done about the speed on Barton Road as there are more pedestrians and more traffic coming with the upcoming projects coming to town. City of Grand Terrace Page 13 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency December 12, 2017 Mayor McNaboe asked for clarification; that Council- has already approved an i agreement with TKE for the speed survey and what is being presented to Council is just adding to their responsibilities under the existing contract with no additional monies. Director French stated the contract is to add the speed survey, as well as construction management services. Mayor McNaboe asked what the original agreement with TKE encompasses. Director French stated on-call inspection and plan check services. Mayor McNaboe asked if we are adding the speed survey and construction management of the dog park to the existing TKE agreement. Director French stated the City will add two (2) additional tasks under the existing contract. APPROVE AMENDMENT TO TKE ENGINEERING, INC.

Harold Duffey, City-Manager gave the PowerPoint presentation for this item. Council Member Hussey asked Mr. Duffey if an organization will be able to utilize the Community Benefit Fund to sponsor a banner. City Manager Duffey does not believe they will be able to use those monies. Council Member Hussey would like to see an organization be able to use that money if their funding falls a little short to sponsor a banner. City Manager Duffey believes he could coordinate with a corporate sponsor to help another organization sponsor its banner. Jeffrey McConnell, Grand Terrace asked if the banners could be secured better than in the past. City of Grand Terrace Page 14 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency December 12, 2017 Council Member Henderson seconded the motion but asked when the banners are r hung, if there is a tree that needs trimming, so the banner can be seen better, he would like the tree trimmed at that time.
