Minutes Grand Terrace City Council May 8, 2012
Reported that she attended the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Advisory Commission on
Water Policy. One of the major presentations given was about the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. Their
effort has been to establish a more reliable system and also simultaneously support environmental goals
protecting fish species and providing a reliable water supply. The decision on the preferred Delta
Conveyance alternative is finally being promised by the first of June this year. She commended Curb
Numbering Service for the curb numbering job they did in the City, they were very professional and she is
happy that they did this service. The Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast that was held on Sunday, April 29,
2012 was to benefit the Grand Terrace Elementary Library. She doesn't have the numbers of the dollar
amount that will go to the library but she thanked all of the individuals that came out to support the Lion's
Club and the Grand Terrace Elementary School Library. She indicated that the Grand Terrace Fire
Department will hold their Pancake Breakfast on June 9th and the proceeds are going to benefit the
Paramedic Program.
Council Member Bernardo Sandoval
Requested that the Council Meeting be adjourned in memory of Jean Irola.
Mayor Pro Tern Lee Ann Garcia
Complimented the Historical and Cultural Activities Committee on their Annual Art Show. She would like
to see some of the art showcased at City Hall. Grand Terrace Days is so much fun and a great time for
the entire family. Reminded everyone that there is still a gap to close with the paramedic fund and
encouraged everyone to help reach that goal. She stated that we are entering the season of celebrating
family and she hopes everyone enjoys this time.
Mayor Walt Stanckiewitz
Assemblyman Mike Morell will no longer represent Grand Terrace because of the redistricting. He has
done a lot for Grand Terrace and has always kept us informed. He shared a couple of emaits with regard
to AB 1437, which would create a transparent budget process that was killed, and Legislation Resolution
94 to the Assembly Judiciary Committee that would have honored and commemorated the 102nd
Anniversary of the Boy Scouts that was also killed. He stated that many people have expressed their
desire to have a paramedic in town and we have a great opportunity in front of us and we need to step up
and make those donations. He reported that a long time resident and good friend of his passed away
over the weekend, Jimmie Prime, and he would like to adjourn the meeting in his memory.
