Approve Check Register Dated 07-28-2009 PUBLIC COMMENT Roy Nix,12173 Country Club Lane, stated that it seems that the charges against Councilman Miller are in the hands of the court at this time but he is sure that there will be much publicity. He wanted to remind everyone of the fantastic service that has been provided by Jim Miller and his wife Margie Miller over the last two decades in this City. Jim has had a leading effort in fundraisers for the Chamber of Commerce, every project of the Grand Terrace Lions Club over the past two decades, they have supported projects of the Grand Terrace Woman's Club, they led the aid and support of fire victims in Grand Terrace. He stated that he doesn't pretend to know the legal ramifications of the charges, however, what he sees from the newspapers is repeatedly voting on consent calendar items regarding checks of payment for services rendered to the City by the Grand Terrace City News. He stated that these are decisions of shall we pay our obligations or not. He doesn't see how it can be anything but one answer to that question. He feels that it is not an issue of are we going to enter into a contract but are we going to pay legal obligations for services received. He would encourage citizens to stand behind Jim Miller and encouraged the Council to do everything that they can on behalf of a great public servant. Corrine Robinson, 22145 DeBerry Street, expressed her shock when she read in the newspaper about the arrest of Jim Miller. She questioned if the City Council wasn't aware of it then how did the District Attorney come in and investigate him and why. City Attorney John Harper, responded that an anonymous complaint was given. Corrine Robinson, anonymous to her means that the person that filed the complaint had no guts because they wouldn't stand behind what they were trying to accomplish. Councilman Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 3 Jim Miller was arrested on Conflict of Interest Charges. This arrest is either ridiculous or all of the members on the City Council that were at these events when they occurred should be arrested also. We are a small community where everyone knows what everyone else is doing. The entire City Council knows that Margie Miller owns the Grand Terrace City News Paper and that her husband is a member of the Grand Terrace City Council. She stated that the Council knew that the City was advertising in the Grand Terrace City News and if this was a conflict of interest they were bound to bring up the conflict before approving any advertising. While she feels that Jim Miller should have erred on the side of caution and abstained from voting when the advertising came on the agenda she finds it impossible to believe that he should lose his job, serve time in prison for a crime when everyone in the City was aware. Gwen Reese, 22488 Barton Road, she expressed her support for Councilman Miller. She read a statement on behalf of her daughter: Hello Grand Terrace citizens, business owners, Councilmembers, City and State Officials, I have known and had the pleasure of working with several of the City officials, including Jim Miller and his wife Margie Miller. When I heard of his arrest I was in shock and disheartened that an outstanding community leader such as Mr. Miller was incarcerated on a felony charge that wreaked of a personal dispute. What I find somewhat amusing is that in the day where I am a small business owner who is suffering from this economic downfall on the heels of an election year there is money missing from the City of Grand Terrace and larger and personally acquainted businesses are allowed to come into this community while we the small business owners are drowning as we watch these new buildings being set-up across the City. Why are we arresting Councilman Miller when there are accusations of corruption, money laundering and new businesses benefitting from our tax dollars. Mr. Miller is one of the rare diamonds in the rough, a true oxymora, dare I say an honest politician. Mr. Miller and I do not see eye to eye of most of the personal views of politics, however, we do see that the children of our community are our first priority. He not only sponsors several events involving the Cub Scouts, which my son was a part of, but also the performing arts school. To condemn a man over personal matters that have been resolved at least three years ago when we have money missing corruption allegations small businesses going out of business due to the larger companies coming in and a larger scale of government cutting police departments, probation departments, teachers and funding for the homeless is quite baffling. This town has had allegations of our Acting City Manager that he lacks the support of the small business owners here in the City all of which was swept under the carpet never addressed and flat out ignored. Yet, we see Councilmember Miller supporting the local youth of all ethnicity, race, creed, religions and color yet he is facing public condemnation. I was so proud of the citizens who joined together and made their voices heard over the naming dispute of the new high school. I say it is time we join together again and get to the bottom of what is really going on in this City and what is happening to our taxpayer dollars. Something is seriously wrong when we have an outstanding, well respected Mayor of a small town like Grand Terrace that the City Officials seem necessary to withhold information from her. I support Jim Miller as a Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 4 business owner, tax payer, citizen and who I grown to be called a friend. Terrilee Robb,12168 Mt. Vernon Avenue #28, stated that she has been a resident of the City of Grand Terrace since 1976 and been involved in community activities for many years. She has known and admired Jim Miller for over 15 years. He has hundreds of hours of volunteer service to the community demonstrating the caliber of his commitment. His integrity and her experience is unquestionable. When she heard the allegations against Jim Miller, she was shocked because they are the antipathist of everything that she knows about the man. The manner in which this matter was brought to the attention of the authorities, the subsequent grand stand reaction of law enforcement and the over reaction of the media to what should have been a minor local news event, she finds very disturbing. It seems to denote a viscousness, inappropriate to our City Government. She would like to ask the City Council to investigate and take action on why the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department responded to two calls from Grand Terrace City Offices on Monday, July 27t''. Disturbances reported to the Sheriff's Department by City Employees are a concern of all residents of Grand Terrace and the City Council represents the residents in this concern. Having been involved in the Community for so many years she naturally has heard every rumor to circulate in the City. I can not attest to the truth of any of them but in Jim Miller's case charges have been made and not yet proved and a media circus created, which has already adversely affected him and his family. This is a situation that could possibly happen to anyone of the Council Members should someone make allegations that turn out to be false, insignificant or irrelevant. It therefore behooves each council member to consider well when taking actions that affect this City's well being and reputation. She will probably be around for the next local election and her vote will be based on the actions that the Council takes in these matters. Frances Carter, 11938 Arliss Drive, thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak. She has been a resident of Grand Terrace for over 44 years and her husband even longer. They love Grand Terrace. They have been privileged to call Jim and Margie Miller their friends for nearly ten years. They love, respect them and admire their integrity. They are not only their friends, they are a tremendous asset to the community. They both have given of their time and money on numerous projects and one of the first to help the unfortunate. The situation with Jim is not only unfair but tragic. This was not an intentional act, it is tearing their lives apart. They only wanted to be of service to the community that they love, it was a mistake and they are willing to make it right. Nobody realized that using the City News was a violation, not even the City Attorney who you think would protect our local officials, nor the other Council Members who should watch out for each other, who also voted on the check registers. Everyone in the community knows that Margie is the owner of City News. They sincerely thought that since it was a separate not jointly owned business enterprise it was exempt from violation of which Jim is accused. She feels that everyone is at fault but there is one person taking the brunt of this emotionally, financially and physically. She has no respect for the gutless wonder who anonymously tipped the District Attorney's Office of Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 5 suspected wrong doing. If you are so righteous why not put your name behind it. We all have our suspicions on who is responsible and who turned this incident into a public media circus. Jim Miller has the support of the community, they are here to show their support and will be with him all the way, they are not going anywhere. They sincerely appreciate all that he has done and his unselfish support of the community. It is a better place because of Jim and Margie Miller. The City needs to heal and it can only be done by the removal of Steve Berry and appointing someone who will lead the City by working together. She is tired of all the back fighting and innuendos. The City needs a leader who can instill confidence and fairness not fear. Gene Carlstrom, 12034 La Crosse, stated that he is a former Councilmember and former Mayor Pro Tem. He stated that he is appalled at the treatment of Councilmember Jim Miller. He was treated worse than a common criminal. Jim served his Country in the Marine Corps and many civic events including supporting the Boy Scout Troops in Grand Terrace. He has served Grand Terrace well. What has taken place has certainly caused a blight on this community and those responsible have certainly disturbed the peace and good order of the City and its reputation of being a bedroom community where everyone wants to live. He feels that appropriate action should be taken on his behalf. Jeffrey McConnell, Walnut Avenue, stated that he recently stated publicly that we will get through this. Grand Terrace is strong. He reported that he was one of five or six people that stood before the Council and repeatedly insisting, demanding, requesting that we place the legal notices in a local paper instead of being hidden somewhere in the pages of the Sun or the Press Enterprise. He is glad that it was finally done and would like it to continue that way, he doesn't care who owns the paper the residents need to be informed. It is interesting that everyone is against whoever filed the complaint anonymously. He hoped that people feel the same way about people who hide behind enmity and the local blog that sometimes says things that aren't so nice. He has spoken for a lot of public hearings for local development and he has always requested that the developer try to hire from within Grand Terrace, whether it is temporary or full-time. He wants to keep business in Grand Terrace. Doug; Wilson, 12168 Observation Drive, stated that on July 14t' a business person was allowed an out of sequence opportunity to stand at the podium and voice an opinion. A breach of protocol maybe but the mood branched into an emotional and unwarranted scene that rubbed him raw as a citizen. Rather than dumbly accept the rumor, he investigated the truth on his own. A very wise man said, "if we start right it is easy to go right all the time, but if we start wrong we may go wrong and it will be a hard matter to get right." This is the truth. Margie Miller did not buy the property located east of City Hall from the Redevelopment Agency. He has the deed that shows a woman named Ross granted it to her as her sole and separate property on March 6, 2006. The property had been labeled condemned in lieu of electrical upgrades. Anyone could have completed the upgrades and restored the property. He has a letter dated August 9, 2006 from the City of Grand Terrace Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 6 Building Department detailing the legal rehabilitation performed to cure and closed the code compliance case against it. Everyone knows that it was an eye sore for a while but it was a sentimental eye sore. Anyone could have done it but Margie Miller should be thanked for gambling with her own money to restore it, now the place is an asset. He also has the City Attorneys letter dated August 8, 2006 stating that the whole City is a Redevelopment Area but because the property was purchased as sole and separate property to be utilized in a business, even though Mrs. Miller husband is a member of the Redevelopment Agency Board, there is no conflict with State Statutes and Margie Miller was completely within her right to purchase, rehabilitate, and occupy the property the way that she did. That is the final word on that. He thanked the Mayor and the Council for their action on the 14t", they stood for something, please stand firm. Jewlie Moyers-Serna, 22805 Kentfield Street, stated that not so long ago Grand Terrace was the place to live, now after many months of being portrayed as a poorly written soap opera and spread all over the news and the newspapers, we as residents of Grand Terrace are done, they are done with Steve Berry and his unethical behavior and political maneuvers. The residents and City Employees do not deserve the disrespect and fear that Steve has displayed over and over. Many residents were afraid to attend the meeting tonight because of fear of retaliation from Steve. This is not someone that she wants to be in charge and lead the City. Steve should have been let go when the decision was made that he would not be eligible for the City Manager position. Instead, he continues to be a cancer in town and bully the residents and city employees. A manager is needed that is compassionate about Grand Terrace as the residents are. They need someone who is loyal and honest and will not let the power of the position got to their head. Steve does not have nor demonstrate any of those qualities. She speaks for herself and many other residents that they are done with this dictator. As for Bea Cortes, they are not dumb, they see whose team she is on, the residents did not elect her to abstain because of fear of her friends. They can all read between the lines. She encouraged Bea Cortes not to waste her time, money or effort running for Council again she has disappointed the residents with her behavior as well. Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that a few years ago she got awoken and started looking into what was going on in Grand Terrace. It has been very obvious, through not just her comments but documents that she has seen, that there have been many conflicts of interest in this City, mismanagement and a good buddy system at the expense of the other citizens in the community. She personally believes that she was bad mouthed by the powers that be within the City and there have been a lot of citizens in Grand Terrace that were naive enough to listen and blame her. She would like to tell the citizens of Grand Terrace that they should be appalled at what has happened in the City in the last couple of months. She feels that the blame goes much further. City Hall is being run by intimidation and bullies and it needs to stop. REPORTS Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 7 5A. Committee Reports 1. Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) a. Minutes of June 2, 2009 CC-2009-95 MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MILLER, CARRIED 5-0, to accept the June 2, 2009 Minutes of the Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.). 5B. Council Reports Mayor Pro Tem Lee Ann Garcia, thanked everyone for coming to the meeting. It is a very difficult time in the history of Grand Terrace. Grand Terrace is 31 years as a City. One time she was at UCR and there was a professor there that likened a City to a person. He said that a City has a life cycle just like a person does and it got her to think about the different decades that Grand Terrace has had. She thought that a person after 31 years is probably highly unlikely that you have never had a difficult time in their life. It is difficult because she has great confidence in the people of the community. She stated that Grand Terrace is small but mighty. She feels that the Council on a whole works as a team. They care and support each other. She feels that one of the hardest things about being elected are the laws that bind them. They don't like them but if they don't follow them they can have serious problems. A lot of the laws have to do with what they can and can not share with the residents. She has gotten comments from people that are fearful or want certain issues taken care of. Personnel issues and other things they are advised not to discuss for the betterment of the City. They have to avoid legal issues. She doesn't want the community to get the idea that she doesn't want to share ideas with them but she does at all times want to follow the law that they are required to follow as elected officials. She is committed to keep Grand Terrace financially strong, safe and positive. She believes that these tough economic times will spotlight Grand Terrace's resiliency and strength as a City. She has also always believed that Grand Terrace is different because of the people that choose to call Grand Terrace home. She feels that people choose a small community because they want to know about their neighbors and care about them. She thanked the volunteers and the long standing residents that do so much for the community. She feels that the Council will do as a whole what the residents want. She thanked City Staff, this has been an incredibly difficult time for our staff members and wants them to know how deeply they are appreciated and she thanked the residents of Grand Terrace for their deep love and devotion to the City. It is and has always been a tremendous honor and pleasure to serve the residents of Grand Terrace. Here is to working together to charting a bold new course for our City to not only survive but thrive in these difficult times. Councilmember Jim Miller, stated that it has been a very difficult time for he and his family. He stated that he is very humbled by all of the people who have come out tonight in support Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 8 of he and his family, he loves everyone of them. He apologized to the Council, residents, all of his friends and to his wife for what has happened over the last two weeks. It has been horrible and he wouldn't want to wish it on anyone. They will continue to fight and hopefully with everyone's support win this. Thanks to everyone for all of their support. Councilmember Walt Stanckiewitz, thanked everyone for coming out and expressing their opinions. He stated that it means a lot and that he is listening. He thanked those who sent e-mails in support of Jim and he pledge to those that he will support Jim as far as it goes to get it done and he is sorry. He announced that last week his daughter turned 21 and they took her to Vegas to celebrate her birthday and while they were there her boyfriend proposed to her and he wishes her the best. Mayor Maryetta Ferrd, reported that the League of California Cities Conference is in San Jose in September. No one will be attending the conference and she directed City Clerk Brenda Mesa to notify them. She stated that the next Council Meeting was going to be canceled, however, the Community and Economic Development Director Joyce Powers has indicated that she has an item that needs to be heard no later than August 12 , 2009. She questioned if Council would be available for the meeting on August 11, 2009. It was the consensus of the Council to hold a meeting on August 11, 2009. Mayor Ferrel, has been and is extremely upset with the way in which Jim Miller and his wife have been treated and what they have to endure. No one should have to go through that and she is very sorry. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None NEW BUSINESS 8A. Approve New Senior Center Use Policy and Fee Schedule JoAnn Johnson, 12723 Mt. Vernon Avenue, stated that there are some areas of this policy that she is uncomfortable with, however, in general she believes that it is a good policy. She would like to emphasize that she feels very strongly that the Senior Center should remain a Senior Center and not become a community center. She believes that the use of the center should be at the discretion of the seniors and by invitation of the seniors. The fact that the policy can be changed, if necessary, gives her a certain amount of comfort. She stated that she does stand behind the policy. CC-2009-95 MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 9 CORTES, CARRIED 5-0, to approve the Senior Center Use Policy and Fee Schedule with the incorporation of JoAnn Johnson's comments and to bring back an Ordinance to incorporate the fees into the City Code. 8B.

Consider the Layoff of the Assistant City Manager Pursuant to Rule IX of the Rules and Regulations for the Administration of Personnel Matters in the Interest of Economy as a Result of the Prior City Council Action Abolishing the Assistant City Manager Position CC-2009-98 MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CORTES, CARRIED 4-0-0-1 (COUNCILMEMBER MILLER ABSTAINED), to layoff the Assistant City Manager Pursuant to Rule IX of the Rules and Regulations for the Administration of Personnel Matters in the Interest of Economy as a Result of the Prior City Council Action Abolishing the Assistant City Manager Position. CLOSED SESSION 9A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54957(b)(1) to Consider the Appointment of Acting City Manager Pursuant to GTMC 2.08.030 Cynthia Bidney, 12219 Pascal, expressed her concern about the reputation and the future of Grand Terrace. She feels that Steve Berry has been a liability to the City, its citizens and the Council as the representatives of Grand Terrace. It has been a well known fact that the Council values the reputation of Grand Terrace. Steve has drug the City through the mud for a number of years. She has heard it said that if you want to tear down an army first tear down their morale. Her experience in dealing with Mr. Berry has been argumentative and accosting to the point that she felt fearful for her safety and for that of her family. He has publicly accused her of being Grandpa Terrace, others have told her that he has also accused Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 10 them of the same thing. She doesn't understand his paranoia. Why does he want to find out who Grandpa Terrace is. She feels that if you have nothing to hide, then you have got nothing to fear. She recalled that during an Easter Sunday Sunrise Service he confronted her about her views on a Barton Road Project. He didn't want to listen and he angrily told her "why did you move into that house, you should have known what would happen." She feels that it was Mr. Berry's job to educated the residents. It frightens her that he invites felons to work in the City, much worse having them work under false pretenses at the Child Development Center. She thought that everyone that works at the Child Development Center has to have a background check. She questioned what was he thinking, not of the safety of those who work there nor the children. She stated that others have warned her that you don't want to cross Steve Berry because he has a list of favors he keeps just in case he needs them. That may be here say, however, it is obvious that Jim Miller upset him so he pulled out one of those cards and had him arrested. She feels that he has more on the Council and feels that it is beginning to look like the Council is afraid of him. She feels that Mr. Berry is calculating and vindictive. She feels as though he is a master at dividing the citizens for his selfish gain. She questioned that if Mr. Berry practices deceit and embezzlement then why doesn't the Council do the right thing and have him turn in his keys and escort him off the property. Bernardo Sandoval, 22950 DeBerry, stated that at the last meeting there was a woman that spoke about Grand Terrace not being Russia. That statement touched him very deeply. He believes that until you are in countries where you are not allowed to speak freely, where the rule of law is an instrument used by government to control, manipulate and dictate to people what they can and can't do, can and can't say, not for the motives to protect the people but to keep themselves in power and for self gain or financial benefits. He feels that when you begin to understand what the woman was saying that this is not Russia, he reiterated to Mr, Berry that Grand Terrace is not Russia. He feels that the things that have been done are inaccurate and improper. He stated that Mr. Berry has been writing and taking notes while Mr. Miller spoke. He stated that he is not part of the establishment, not part of the old guard or the new guard. He doesn't understand the reports that are coming to him about people being afraid to speak, City Employees afraid for their jobs, City Councilmembers that are intimidated to move against or speak openly against Mr. Berry. He feels that this is unjust and that you don't have to be an attorney or close friend of Mr. Miller to understand the injustice that is being done. He feels that when the rule of law is used to control, manipulate and keep people boxed off and causes community activist to be afraid for their groups or clubs and afraid of getting their funding cut off, it is wrong and an injustice that the City does not deserve and something that should not be tolerated not today or ever. He expressed his sorrow for the injustice that has been allowed to occur to Mr. Miller. Patricia Farley,12513 Michigan, stated that whoever asked the District Attorney to prosecute Jim Miller did not have concern for protecting the rights of the citizens of Grand Terrace. She feels that it was purely vindictive should not be tolerated. The residents need to know Council Minutes 07/28/2009 Page 11 that there are people in the D.A.'s office that allowed themselves to be part of this. They need to know from the citizens of Grand Terrace that this is not acceptable, that they are aware and it will not be tolerated. She stated what stuns her the most is that after what the Council knows for fact, why is Mr. Berry allowed to step in to City Hall. She feels that the Council should have held an emergency meeting to stop him from any further business in Grand Terrace. Somebody needs to protect Grand Terrace. She is concerned that nice decent people are going to be unwilling to serve on the Council when they are framed like this. She also stated that she feels Grand Terrace needs better legal representation. She has been disappointed many times. Councilmembers are not attorneys. She stated that Mr. Miller openly voted on check registers, it wasn't a secret, it wasn't someone trying to hide an evil thing. She believes that things have gone on and that it wasn't just Mr. Berry it was Mr. Schwab also. The City needs to be cleaned up. She feels that Mr. Miller is a victim of viscous people in the City and in the County and she won't tolerate it. CC-2009-99 MOTION BY MAYOR FERRE, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA, CARRIED 4-0-0-1 (COUNCILMEMBER MILLER ABSTAINED), that this decision by the Council is not intended to reflect on Steve Berry's integrity or skills. The Council however, feels that under the current circumstances it is impossible for Steve to provide the leadership of staff and the City necessary to continue as Acting City Manager. The City Council therefore names Bernie Simon as the Acting City Manager until the City selects a permanent City Manager. Mayor Ferre adjourned the meeting at 8:28 p.m., until the next City Council Meeting which is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. CITY CLERK of the City of Grand Terrace f MAYO f the City of Grand Terrace
