07/13/2010CITY OF GRAND TERRACE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - JULY 13, 2010 A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace was called to order in the Council Chambers, Grand Terrace Civic Center, 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California, on July 13, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. PRESENT: Maryetta Ferre, Mayor Bea Cortes, Councilmember Walt Stanckiewitz, Councilmember Betsy M. Adams, City Manager Brenda Mesa, City Clerk Bernard Simon, Finance Director Joyce Powers, Community & Economic Development Director John Harper, City Attorney Sgt. Palomino, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department ABSENT: Lee Ann Garcia, Mayor Pro Tem Richard Shields, Building & Safety Director Rick McClintock, San Bernardino County Fire Department The City Council meeting was opened with Invocation by Ken Wolf, Calvary the Brook Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Councilwoman Bea Cortes. 4:30 P.M. JOINT WORKSHOP CRA/CITY COUNCIL - OPERATION OF SENIOR CENTER Betsy M. Adams, City Manger, indicated that the purpose of the workshop is to give staff the opportunity to advise Council of three issues that came up with regard to operations of the Senior Center that were identified when the Cities Insurance Pool, California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, did an onsite risk evaluation of all City operations on June 9, 2010. The first of the three issues that they identified at the Senior Center is that we do not have an agreement between the City and the Grand Terrace Senior Club, who operates the center on our behalf. The second is that we do not have insurance from the Grand Terrace Seniors and the third is that there is a need for some additional written policies to document some of the practices at the Senior Center. She stated that there are representatives from Family Services at the meeting to give a presentation and that JoAnn Johnson is also prepared to give a presentation. She gave the background of how the Senior Center has been operated over the years. In considering addressing the concerns that JPIA identified, Staff has come up with three potential options: To continue having the Grand Terrace Senior Club operate the Senior Center with them becoming a legal entity capable of entering into a written agreement and obtain the appropriate limit of insurance. The second option would be to have City Staff operate the Senior Center, which she feels would be the option of last resort. The third Council Minutes 07;`13 :2010 Page 2 potential option would be to out -source the operation of the Senior Center to an organization. Family Services has provided a list of services that they can provide and their qualifications. She is looking for desirable outcomes that Council would like staff to evaluate further. Veronica Dover. Chief Operating Officer. Family Services Association, stated that they are a non-profit agency. They have been providing services since 1953. They provide a wide variety of services including mental health services, child development centers, operate senior community centers, provide senior nutrition services, senior specialty services, prevention and early intervention services for seniors, and affordable housing. When they provide services to community centers and operate community centers, their philosophy is very much in line with family services mission which is, "Family Strength is Community Strength". Seniors and their families have a lot of needs and have a lot of desires for their centers. They have advisory counsels in every single program that they offer. Those counsels play a very important role in their programs by involving those members of the community that they are serving that tell them what they want to see. JoAnn Johnson, Senior Center, stated that she likes what she has heard. She feels that most of the seniors are concerned about losing their independence. They have had almost total freedom to have the activities and programs that they wanted as long as they could find someone willing to take on the responsibility for the program. They have had some self- imposed rules, that were intended to avoid problems in the future. The Information and Referral Office was formed in 1988!1989. They moved into the Senior Center in July of 1991. They are listed on several websites, including the nation-wide 211 information and referral system. The Information and Referral Office underwent a drastic change when they moved into the present building because of the lack of space. They have several different funds that support different things and produce the necessary money to purchase supplies, equipment and other things. They sell good stuff and own their own soda machine and coffee service. Their treasurer keeps record of the income and expenses and they have a checking account and a CD. There are some organizations that use the building on a complementary basis only because they have volunteers that are willing to open and close the facility. The Foundation of Grand Terrace, The Friends of Blue Mountain are long time cases and point. They have also allowed TOPS to use their facility as a courtesy. Their number one concern for them is how much independence will be lost and how much independence can they maintain. Will they be able to keep their existing activities and programs. How will they handle their finances, will their treasurer be able to receive money and write checks without going through a month long process. The building was planned for only two offices, the Information and Referral and the Presidents Office, how will this change affect that space. Can they remain a senior center and not become a community center. Their building was never intended to be used by children. There are many things about the proposal that are very appealing. She feels that it could be beneficial to combine programs with Highgrove as well as other near by centers. There also might be the possibility of connecting the two centers with public bus service. Many of their members Council Minutes 07.13-2010 Page 3 live in Highgrove. The Senior Center and Information and Referral Office have operated quite smoothly for 19 years plus the three years that they spent at the Lion's Community Center. She wants the organization to continue for years into the future. Councilmember Walt Stanckiewitz, stated that the way he understands it, the Grand Terrace Senior Club is primarily a social organization. JoAnn Johnson, responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, questioned if the Senior Club wants to become a business organization. JoAnn Johnson, responded in the negative. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, stated that the Senior Club indicated that they sell coffee and he believes that they need a health permit to do that. There are liability's at the center that we may not be aware of. We need to try and come up with a solution that we can all live with. He questioned if there was anyone that actually live in the Villas at the Meeting. He questioned how to get the residents that live in the Villas to participate in the center. JoAnn Johnson, responded that there is a large number of residents of the Villas that are members of the Club. There are a few that participate in the programs. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, questioned if the Club has had an opportunity to discuss the proposal from Family Services. JoAnn Johnson, responded that they just recently received the proposal so they have not. Councilmember Cortes, stated that this is a very difficult issue that has come before the Council. She stated that she has been elected to protect and to provide for the community. She would like to provide the Seniors with what they have always done, however, it appears that this is a liability issue. She would like the City Manager to look into having Family Services meet with the Senior Club. JoAnn Johnson, stated that they have been very comfortable doing things the way that they have, however, she understands what the Council is saying. City Attorney John Harper, indicated that from the City's perspective and the Joint Powers Insurance Authority, it's the City's liability that we are concerned with. He can't give Iegal advice regarding this issue, however, he is much more concerned about the liability that each individual has if they operate as a club and somebody comes in and slips and falls, they are going to sue the club and each individual. They have no protection. Council Minutes OT [3-20l0 Page 4 Mayor Maryetta Ferrel, indicated that this is all new territory. She stated that the Senior Club would like the center to remain a Senior Center and not become a Community Center, She would like to be assured that this center would remain a Senior Center. Veronica Dover, stated that she is very impressed that a volunteer group has been able to run the center. They are more than happy to work with the club and the City should they ask them. City Manager Adams, stated that it would be the City's decision on whether or not the center would remain a Senior Center or a Community Center. When she has had conversations with Family Services it has been specifically with regard to running the program as a senior center. Mayor Ferrel, she would like reassurance that if we go with Family services that the center would remain a Senior Center. She questioned if the advisory group could consist of the Senior Center Group. Veronica Dover, responded that they have two facilities that run solely as a senior center. They are happy to provide the services that the City/Seniors want them to provide. They would be happy to utilize the Senior Center Group as an advisory counsel. They may add to that group. Mayor r Ferrd, stated that JOAnn Johnson is an important member of this organization and success of the organization over the last twenty years. She questioned where she fits into this picture. Veronica Dover, responded that she would be an integral part of developing this advisory counsel and developing the plan for the services that they will provide. She can't say that there won't be any changes. She sees JoAnn and this Club as an asset. They are a very collaborative organization. Mayor Ferrel, questioned how the finances would work. Veronia Dover, responded that they would have to negotiate. A meeting with City Manager Adams and the Senior Group would have to be held so that they can negotiate how that would work. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, he realizes that we currently don't have a commercial grade kitchen which limits what is offered to the seniors. When the commercial grade kitchen is in, how will that change the lunch program. Veronica Dover, responded that they will cook in the kitchen on site. Council Minutes 07 112010 Page 5 Mayor Ferre, stated that it sounds to her like there are many parts of the Family Services proposal that could work out with the Grand Terrace Senior Group. Because we are just starting this process she is wondering if a meeting between the groups would be beneficial and feels that this may be the best way to go. City Manager Adams, stated that the seniors in the past were using the City's Tax ID Number, unless they become a legal entity of some type when they collect money it will be personal income to them and she thinks we would have to look at how that would be handled on City premises. There are a lot of complexities to this issue. City Attorney Harper, stated that it would be easy for the group to become a non-profit group. City Manager Adams, feels that it would be helpful to staff to have the Council give direction of which level of service they would be interested. It was the consensus of the Council to look into the lower level of service to begin with Fla Elliott, 822 Cimarron Drive, has been a member of the Senior Board for quite sometime. She questioned what type of insurance they would have if Family Services took over the center or if they would still need to have insurance on their own. If they remain as the volunteer group she understands that they would need some type of insurance coverage, but she would also like to know what other things the City would like them, as a totally independent group, to have. Denis Kidd, 22874 Pico Street, stated that as it has been brought out, FSA Manages the Norton Younglove Community Center in Highgrove and as far as he can see the people in Highgrove are satisfied with their management of the center. Jane Haines Lee, 22167 Lark Street, this is a new topic and they haven't had a chance to meet with them. They have a lot of questions and they would like to meet with Family Services to see if they can have a better understanding. City Attorney Harper, responded that Family Services has insurance and it would be required if we were to enter into a contract with them. The JPIA principal of liability concern from the City's perspective was when an entity un-associated with the City was operating in a city - owned facility. If Family Services or some other organization contracted with us and provided insurance, the JPIA's concern goes away. He would expect that there would be a way to structure the advisory committee so that they were City Volunteers and the JPIA would cover City Volunteers. L__J City Manager Adams, stated that she feels that it is important that it is clear that if we enter Council Minutes U7'112010 Page 6 into a contract for Family Services to operate the Senior Center, they will operate the entire center and they will report to the City. Family Services will create an advisory counsel that would consist of the Senior Center Group and others. Dom Betro. CEO Family Services Association, reported that they are a non-profit and they are incorporated and cant' 1 million, 3 million coverage as well as a 7 million umbrella. When they go into these sites they indemnify and co-insure the entity that they are working for. There are always items, since the City owns the building, that they are responsible for but they would be more than adequate in terms of the insurance that would be required by the City. They like to set-up advisory counsels. They have a very similar relationship in the City of Calimesa with a counsel that existed before they came on board. They advise them on programs, fundraising, and what they want to do. He often advises such groups that it is not in their best interest to apply for a non-profit status because then they have to comply with all the legal and insurance issues that take away from the passion that they really have, which is to see that the programs at the center run. They can certainly accomplish all of their goals by being an advisory counsel to Family Services and their non-profit status covers donations, insurance, and all the things that you would get by formally incorporating and having to deal with all of the legal ramifications of it all. They run centers from $100,000.00 per year to $1.5 million per year. They are very good at catering and addressing what the needs are, what the capacities are and what the financial realities are and building from there. Overtime, although he can't guarantee, they also have a history of for every dollar they get from government they usually go out and raise a dollar from somewhere else. They would see this as a developing relationship that would grow. They understand the financial realities. They are currently having conversations with 3 or 4 cities that are in the same situation. He feels that they have good working relationships with many cities and they would be interested and willing and enthusiastic about the possibility of working with the City of Grand Terrace. City ManagerAdams, stated that it is her understanding that Council would like her to have a meeting with Family Services and the representatives from the Seniors to talk about how things could possibly work. She needs to work on a draft agreement that we could be considering entering into with Family Services and at the same time identifying some financial options for Council to consider in terms of how to pay for the service. Mayor Ferre adjourned the Joint Workshop between the CRA/City Council at 5:30 p.m. ITEMS TO DELETE - None SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS 2A. Community Day Sponsor Recognition Council Minutes O 13`2010 Page 7 Mayor Ferrd, thanked all of the sponsors that donated money for Grand Terrace Community Day, without their sponsorship this event would never have happened. She presented the following individuals with a Certificate of Appreciation: Supervisor Neil Derry, San Bernardino County Supervisor Southern California Edison Grand Terrace Senior's Club JoAnn Johnson Tapout San Bernardino County Firefighters Local 935 CONSENT CALENDAR CC-2010-54 MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CORTES, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER STANCKIEWITZ, CARRIED 3-0-1-0 (MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA WAS ABSENT), to approve the following Consent Calendar Items: 3A. Approve Check Register No. 07-13-2010 3B. Waive Full Reading of Ordinances on Agenda 3C. Approval of 06-22-2010 Minutes 3D. Bus Shelter Services Agreement with Omnitrans 3E. Award of Bid for Street Rehabilitation Projects Throughout the City (Roquet Paving, Inc.) 3F. Award Contract - Grand Terrace Road Street Improvements - GTB-2010-02 (Palm Canyon) PUBLIC COMMENT Bernardo Sandoval, 22950 De Berry Street, announced that he will be running for the Grand Terrace City Council seat. He will be running for the four year seat against Bea Cortes and former City Manager Tom Schwab. He wants to answer three very specific questions. He moved to Grand Terrace in 1978. He was 5 years old and was able to move into a beautiful tract home that had lots of orange groves all the way around. He played soccer, when it was called the Grand Terrace Christian Soccer Club. He is the Director of Technical Operations for a major medical group locally. He has been the director of technology for a CPA firm that does financial audits for 809-o of the school districts and municipalities. It is important that people understand that it is not his intent to win a seat on this Council. His intent is to cause a seismic shift in the way that things have occurred and been done in this City. Not just within this City but also when it comes to issues and events that affect us in terms of the Colton School Board and what is going on in that situation. Across the board, across very different factions from the old guard to the new guard to volunteers, community volunteers, to civic groups, gad flies, there is an error. He is convinced that we must transition and Council Minutes 07113)2010 Page 8 change from what has gone on in the past ten years. We will not spend more time discussing cutting City Council salaries/stipends by $40 a month and not engage in the issues that really matter and the deficit that occurred over the past ten years and these types of situations. He will make and offer and be accountable to a contract with Grand Terrace and he is asking that the members of this community who are also frustrated who feel that there has been a Iack of transparency on this City Council to join him. They will not be silent, there will not be a deafening silence when it comes to challenging issues. He will align himself with strong capable independent thinkers who will think, who will analyze, who will be strong and will have the moral fortitude to deal with the issues that are at hand. Not just the financial issues. We are directly tied with that Colton School Board. We must support Roger Kowalski, we must support Pilar Tabera as a community to change and transition the relationship that has existed with that Colton School Board. There are members on there that do not respect us. Thelma Winkler Beach,12570 Mt. Vernon Avenue, stated that she reads the newspapers and she is concerned about the leadership but she is mostly concerned about the competency of their advisor, the City Attorney. Three of the leadership on that dias have been accused of violation of legal code section 1090 Conflict of Interest, one by the District Attorney's Office causing him to resign, two by newspaper reporters. There is one common denominator there. All three have stated that they sought advice from the City Attorney before they voted on the consent calendars in questions. He assured them that their yes vote would not be a conflict of interest. I think he owes it to them and to the community to publicly state the law chapter and verse that he used to determine his advice to each of them to say nothing of the apology he owes them, the injustice itself is a violation. Maybe he should resign and state the reason as loss of confidence and his credibility. That is her opinion. Betty Trimble, 22816 De Berry Street, was watching the last Council Meeting and heard the Mayor say that she was not going to run for Mayor again. That was a sad thing to hear but understandable that you want time with your family but we have you until November, so that is good news. The Mayor and Councilmembers give a lot. Serving in this capacity doesn't mean it is fun and games, they don't just show up to the dias on Tuesday ride in parades, going to ribbon cuttings and ground breakings, there is a lot of study, research and soul searching before voting on projects. Your tenure is in one of the most unsettling times in the history of Grand Terrace. It was comforting to have you at helm during this time. She watched the meetings on television. She does not usually see the gavel come out. It came out at that time with a firm hand and a firm voice behind it in order to keep the meetings in order. You have been an amazing and honest mayor. You are admired most for the control that you exhibit. She is not alone in this opinion, many people have said this. For giving yourself to the City, speaking well of our City and our citizens and speaking well of what has been accomplished in the City, thank you. COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Bea Cortes, reminded everyone of the Movie in the Park on Friday, July 16 Council Minutes 0711312010 Page 9 at Rollins Park at 7:00 p.m. She reported that last week she was invited to attend a workshop in Big Bear. It was on business sustainability and how they can help keep businesses together. This was put out by San Bernardino County. They are going to different cities and finding out what their needs are and putting together a workshop and invite all the businesses and anyone else who would like to attend. They give you the tools to help. Most of it is complimentary. She is working with the Department Head and is trying to find a business here in town that will room as many people that would like to participate. They have also done this in Barstow. Councilmember Walt Stanckiewitz, thanked Bernardo for stepping up and wanting to do what he wants to do for the City. He sees his contract with Grand Terrace and it is no secret that he will sign the same contract with Grand Terrace because he agrees with it 100%. He is hoping that this information get distributed throughout the City because what we are talking about is serious. This election season is going to be an experience that this City has never experienced before. This is going to be an issues election season not a popularity contest. He would challenge everyone to stay involved and participate and listen to what is going on. There is going to be a lot of information coming out and a lot of issues that need to be dealt with within the City. He read a quote for those individuals that are considering pulling papers or who already have by an obscure individual named Thomas Jefferson "When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself as public property", if you can't practice that please do us a favor and don't run, we don't need people who are not going to be committed to the best interest of the City. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6A. Resolution Confirming a Diagram and Assessment for Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District 89-1, for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 City Attorney John Harper, gave an overview of the Landscaping & Lighting District 89-1 and indicated that this is to adopt the annual Assessment Levy for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. Mayor Ferrd opened the Public Hearing, there being none, she returned discussion to Council. CC-2010-55 MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CORTES, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER STANCKIEWITZ, CARRIED 3-0-1-0 (MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA WAS ABSENT), to approve a Resolution Confirming a Diagram and Assessment and Providing for Annual Assessment Levy for a Landscaping and Street lighting District. 6B. Zone Change 10-02 - Ordinance Amending Zoning Code Section 18.80.130 Regarding Political Signs Council Minutes OT 13.2010 Page 10 Joyce Powers. Community and Economic Development Director, indicated that after a review of the Municipal Code Section 18.80.130, Political Signs, the City Attorney has prepared a new ordinance regulating political signs that is compliant with State and Federal Law. City Attorney John Harper, stated that in Grand Terrace political signs have not been an issue except as to non -city elections. He feels that now is a good time to clean up the ordinance because we don't want candidates to complain that they were being treated unconstitutionally. Councilmember Walt Stanckiewitz, stated that there is nothing in the Ordinance regarding banners. Community and Economic Development Director Powers, responded that banners are considered signs. Mayor Ferre opened the Public Hearing. Doug Wilson, 12168 Observation, did not ask for nor did he vote for the political sign ordinance to be changed. Over the years he has lived by the rules in his community as others have. He was informed that a candidate initiated a complaint that started this action to make the political sign time frame open ended among other changes. If that candidate is in the room he invites him or her to man up to it. He believes that having political signs throughout the City for six months or more before an election does not enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Grand Terrace. Seeing no takers, he respectfully requests that the Council sets some reasonable limits on the limitations or continue with the limitations that we currently have. Let us not be the generation that proliferates political graffiti in the City of Grand Terrace, instead let us be those who beautify the City by choosing to maintain a 31 year old policy of common sense. He referenced other cities and limits. Tom Schwab, 22687 Lark Street, he understands that it would be a good goal to try and have a sign ordinance that is legal, however, he doesn't believe that trying to cheapen and lower our standards is the right way to go. He believes that always taking the most conservative view isn't always the best practice, just because someone says they may sue us because our political sign ordinance is improper, let them sue us because there are many cases where he feels we need to take less than the conservative view. This City has a prayer before every meeting, however, we have been advised that due to the constitutional division of Church and State that we should not have a prayer given to us at the beginning of the meeting. He feels that a prayer is appropriate and it has been this Council's decision to ignore that and to continue to have a prayer. Until someone sues us and says you may not have a prayer prior to your meeting, he feels that we should keep on having a prayer. He feels that we should have some type of regulations when it comes to political signs and he feels 30 days is plenty. Council Minutes 07.13 `2010 Page 1 l He feels that the pollution of these signs are something that we don't want in our City. The regulations are there for a reason. He doesn't care what a person does in their own personal lawn, however, he does not want to see 16 square foot signs up and down Barton Road. He feels that we don't need to lower our standards. There are many Cities in Southern California that have in their Council Chamber "In God We Trust" and they are being told to remove that. Some cities are and others are refusing and are saying sue us then we will take it down. Mayor Ferrd, returned discussion to the Council. Councilmember Cortes, feels that the City needs to have some limitations. Mayor Ferre, expressed her disappointment that this has had to come up and that we can't have control on how long signs are up. Don't we have some type of sign ordinance for businesses. She has been through three elections and abided by the rules as well as everyone else. Why did this come up after all these years with no complaints can we no longer have limitations. City Attorney H er, it was raised by a non -city candidate. It was brought to his attention and so he now gave the Council his opinion. The Council can do what they desire he is just advising them of the law. There are significantly different standards for the regulations of commercial speech as opposed to political speech. Other cities just continue to go with what they have. The City Council can go forward with the current code if that is what they desire. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, stated that he feels the same as everyone else. He does not want to see a proliferation of signs all over the City. He is not willing to roll the dice and say that he will take his chances. He feels that we are learning our lesson with too many things we have done in this City where we have rolled the dice. Someone has brought this to our attention. This someone has the resources to sue us and the knowledge. He is not willing to take that chance. His job is to look out for the City and to protect it monetarily, financially, and morally. He is not in the practice of challenging State and Federal Law. He is a supporter of the constitution and if this is what we need to do to be in compliance as much as he doesn't agree with it he doesn't feel that we have a choice. Mayor Ferrd, doesn't believe that she has ever ignored anything that would be detrimental to the City and she wants to make that extremely clear. Councilmember Stanckiewitz, stated that he feels that she wasn't aware, now you have the opportunity to ignore something that will be detrimental to the City. He is not willing to spend money on a court case.
