4. PUBLIC COMMENT
Richard Knapp
Suggested that the Council consider doing a community garden. He feels that it would teach self
sustainability non gmo organic gardening practices. He feels that it would be a good opportunity to get
the youth involved in the construction of the project. He indicated that this could provide community
services by giving some of the grown foods to the needy and senior deliveries as well as holding a
farmers market. He suggested the four parcels next to City Hall or the large lot next to the fire station as
good locations for the garden.
Debbie Earle, President Grand Terrace Woman's Club
Announced that Pat Nix was chosen by Assemblyman Mike Morrell as the Woman of the Year for the
63rd District. Pat Nix has many accomplishments and has done many good things for the City of Grand
Terrace. This is a great honor and congratulated her on this accomplishment.

Minutes Grand Terrace City Council March 27, 2012
Announced that Wilden Pump will be hosting a blood drive at their location on Friday. He reported that
the Sheriffs Department recently found an illegal operation going on in town and they are looking at
prosecuting seven to eight individuals. He thanked the Department for the great job that they do and they
continue to do more with less. He also reported that the County Board of Supervisors met today and the
recommendations that were made by the City Council for appointment to the Oversight Board for the
Successor Agency to the Grand Terrace Redevelopment Agency were approved. There is a lot of work
that needs to be done and the first meeting of the Oversight Board will be held on Wednesday, April 4,
2012. He congratulated those individuals that were appointed to the Board.
Councilmember Gene Hays
Thanked the Seniors for publishing the crime statistics in their monthly newsletter. Residents need to be
more careful with their personal information in an effort to reduce identity theft. He also suggested a good
alarm system can serve as a determent for most criminals. He thanked the Sheriffs Department for doing
an outstanding job for the City and stated that the work that they do clearly demonstrates "Crime doesn't
pay" in Grand Terrace.
Councilmember Darcy McNaboe
Thanked the Sheriffs Department for the impressive work that they do. She appreciates the fact that they
configure to what the community needs. She congratulated Pat Nix. It is nice that Assemblyman Morrell
picked someone from Grand Terrace but also someone so deserving of that honor. She is looking
forward to having an opportunity to congratulate her in person. She reported that fire hydrants are being
vandalized and stolen in town. She encouraged residents to be on the look out for people who don't
belong in their neighborhood.
Councilmember Bernardo Sandoval
Thanked the Sheriffs Department for the work that they did on the recent investigation. The way that
they handle their work is very impressive. Stressed the importance of the Oversight Board in relation to
the City of Grand Terrace. Some of the projects that they will have to approve or disapprove are vital to
our interest as a community. They are critical projects for the City. He feels that it is a good thing that
there are four people on the Oversight Board that will be looking after our interests as a City.
