Tonya Nelson and all of the volunteers that helped to make this event possible. He
reminded everyone that fireworks are illegal in the City of Grand Terrace. He gave a
brief update on the sewer rate issue, reporting that the Colton city Council at their
meeting last week adopted the first reading of an ordinance setting a new fee schedule
for the City of Colton and the City of Grand Terrace although it was done as a
procedural matter and continued the whole discussion of the issue until June 17, 1996.
It is the anticipation that they will make a rate increase for their rate payers and a lower
rate increase for the City of Grand Terrace and we will need to consider and adopt a new
rate increase. Grand Terrace bills our customers individually and the City of Colton bills
the City of Grand Terrace on behalf of everyone that we service. He also welcomed Lee
i Ann Garcia to the City Council and commended all four candidates that were interested
