City Engineer Kicak stated there will be access to the water reservoir; estimated the grading work will begin in the next two or three months. CC-84-184 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, to direct Staff to prepare a feasibility study and Council recommendation relative to negotiating with the property owners to acquire the remainder of Blue Mountain and developing Blue Mountain into an 80-100 acre wilderness park with trails, level spots for picnic tables, overnight camping areas for the scouts and an amphitheater. The Study is to be completed in time to allow the grading of the area to make level areas for picnic tables in conjunction with the time period when Griffin Development will be grading the adjacent tract. Councilwoman Pfennighausen recommended including in the study the proposed use of the land to be acquired. Councilman Petta felt the land should be acquired in any event, since the land is undevelopable and would remain vacant; felt the cost would be minimal. Following discussion, Motion No. CC-84-184 carried, ALL AYES by all present. (3) Delivered the City's letter to the Riverside Highland Water Company Board of Directors relative to delinquent notice procedures; the Board of Directors agreed to comply with all of the City's requests and requested a letter from the City indicating its acceptance at its June 21 meeting.

CC-84-185 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES by all present, to direct Staff to prepare a letter to Riverside Highland Water Company for the Mayor's signature indicating the delinquent notice procedures are acceptable to the City Council as amended to indicate that service will be discontinued two working days after the red tag is hung on the door. (4) Councilman Petta stated he was contacted by a resident west of La Cadena on Palm west of Rosedale indicating he wanted to build a barn -type garage behind his property, but felt the fees were excessive. Councilman Petta stated he discussed this matter with the City Engineer and the City Attorney, who indicated Council could waive the fees; noted that a developer would pay only one fee for an entire subdivision; felt it punitive to penalize an individual who wants to upgrade his property; concurs with paying a fee for a permit, but disagrees with paying for site approval and architectural control approval. Page 6 - 6/28/84 CC-84-186 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to waive the site approval architectural control fee, and that Staff is to guide itself by this action. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated she feels red tape and fees keep people from upgrading their property; businesses are being pressured and development is being stifled in Grand Terrace due to red tape; thinks we need to look seriously at this type of problem. City Engineer Kicak stated that his concern in this matter was that, in this particular case, the individual requested a permit to build a 2,800 square -foot garage; feels there are times Staff can defend a position; however, in this case felt Council should be aware that the request was for a 2,800 square foot garage; stated Staff will assume good judgment, but feels they also have the responsibility to the Planning Commission and the City Council to utilize judgment by bringing non -routine cases such as this to the attention of the Planning Commission and the Council. Motion No. CC-84-186 carried, ALL AYES by all present. VACATION OF EQUESTRIAN EASEMENT - TRACT 9799 RESOLUTION NO. 84-20 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALORNIA, FINDING THAT A PORTION OF A CERTAIN EQUESTRIAN EASEMENT IS UNNECESSARY FOR PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE EQUESTRIAN EASEMENT PURPOSES AND ORDERING THE VACATION OF SAID PORTIONS. City Engineer Kicak advised Council adopted a resolution of intent to vacate an equestrian easement along the rear lotline of Tract 9799, with lots fronting on Stonewood, located between DeBerry and LaPaix, at the meeting of June 7; stated the easement to be vacated has been posted and the public hearing for the proposed vacation has been legally advertised; recommended conducting a public hearing and adopting the Resolution if the easement vacation is approved. Stated a drainage easement also exists in that area which will remain. Mayor Grant opened public hearing. Supporting Testimony Paula Forthun, 12238 Stonewood, stated she feels an equestrian easement is no longer needed. There being no opposing testimony, Mayor Grant closed public hearing. CC-84-187 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES by all present, to adopt Resolution No. 84-20. Page 7 - 6/28/84 ORDINANCE NO. 80 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND ALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $250 WHICH ANY INDIVIDUAL, BUSINESS FIRM, POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, OR ANY VESTED INTEREST GROUP MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A CANDIDATE FOR CITY OFFICE IN THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT DURING ANY CLENDAR YEAR. (Second Reading) City Attorney Hopkins read the title of the Ordinance. Mayor Grant opened public hearing. Susan Crawford, 22721 Minona Drive, questioned whether this Ordinance would infringe upon individuals' rights to support a candidate of their choice in the manner in which they wish. City Attorney Hopkins stated the courts have generally indicated that it does not; they have stricken down those ordinances and statutes that restrict the ability of candidates to expend the amount of funds they wish and have generally supported ordinances limiting the amounts which can be contributed to a candidate. There being no further testimony, Mayor Grant closed public hearing. CC-84-188 Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES by all present, to adopt Ordinance No. 80, by title only. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (Continued) Councilwoman Pfennighausen reported the following: (1) Advised on June 22 there was a wa er ine break which left individuals on the west side of the City completely without water for 12 hours as a result of defective, deteriorating water lines; feels the City should officially request the Water Company to provide a specific plan of upgrading and updating the underground water system; (2) Stated that Ruby Cunningham, Secretary of Riverside Highland Water Company, advised a citizen of the Company's inability to pay a bill of approximately $2,000; stated she had advised the City Manager that if the Water Company cannot pay a bill in this amount, felt it is time to have an audit conducted; (3) Advised the auto paint shop located across the freeway is violating one of the conditions of approval that no wrecked vehicles are to be stored in the open on the property. Councilman Petta, referencing Councilwoman Pfennighausen's statement relative to the Water Company's financial status, stated he was advised by a member of the Board of Directors that the Water Company is in good financial condition; all shareholders receive an annual financial statement from the Water Company. Mayor Grant reported the following: (1) Was notified by a resident on Holy St that she and other residents in that vicinity, as well as all homes on Mt. Vernon with no driveways, have no place to park on street sweeping days; requested that Staff devise a plan to allow an exception to the rule of "no parking" on street sweeping days for individuals in that area; (2) Noted that some individuals attended the Board of Supervisors meeting relative to a library in the City. Page 8 - 6/28/84 LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT (GTC83-33-1) City Manager Armstead stated that verification was received as requested that the costs of the Law Enforcement Contract do not include administrative overhead; recommended approval of the contract for FY 1984-85. CC-84-189 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES by all present, to approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the first amendment to Contract No. 83-842-A1 (GTC83-33-1) providing for law enforcement services by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department to be effective July 1, 1984, and to authorize the appropriation of $414,279 for Line Item 44-10-256 in the FY 1984-85 Budget, increasing the total FY 1984-85 approved Budget to $2,924,407. TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE INVENTORY - CONTRACT AWARD (GTC84-11) Community Services Director Anstine advised that five responses were received to 15 RFP's circulated for the Traffic Control Device Inventory Project. Recommended awarding the contract to the firm of Traffic Safety Engineers; noted a good recommendation was received on this firm from the State Department Office of Traffic Safety. CC-84-190 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES by all present, to award the Traffic Control Device Inventory Project contract to the firm of Traffic Safety Engineers for a cost of $9,950 (GTC84-11) BARTON ROAD/PALM AVENUE INTERSECTION DESIGN City Engineer Kicak stated, as directed, Staff reviewed alternate designs which might improve the traffic circulation in that area as well as possibly preventing accidents. Studied five alternatives, which were provided to Council; recommended considering Alternative E, providing a sweeping curve that will give some additional sight distance, for an estimated cost of $14,500; if approved, would try to incorporate this project in the Barton Road Reconstruction Project. Larry Halstead, 22675 Barton Road, property owner adjacent to the proposed project, objected to not receiving notification that this matter was on the agenda, since he feels this would affect his property. Stated he is planning a building expansion; feels the alternative proposed will greatly affect his project, and would not solve the problem; felt the problem in that area is the excessive speed of vehicles; felt a more effective solution would be to install a three-way stop sign and to close the access past the planter to Palm Avenue. City Engineer Kicak advised that all proposed work is within the public right-of-way with no encroachment on Mr. Halstead's property; noted that sometime ago Staff advised Council they felt the intersection, as presently designed, is a functional intersection trafficwise. Staff was directed by Council to examine alternatives, Page 9 - 6/28/84 specifically the proposed alternative; felt if Alternative E is incorporated, vehicles will approach the intersection at higher speeds, since they will be able to see the sign and will be able to approach rapidly and make the stop without making a sharp curve, which is presently necessary. Staff has always maintained, with the Sheriff concurring, that the present situation is not a problem. Susan Crawford, 22721 Minona Drive, stated she feels the problem in that area is excessive speed on Barton Road; feels the intersection as it stands is adequate; felt the speed limit should be lowered on Barton between Mt. Vernon and Preston and recommended that the Traffic Control Officer visibly patrol that area during peak hours. Councilman Rigley felt the intersection should remain as it is. Councilman Petta felt vehicles coming down Palm pick up speed, and having to make almost a right angle turn is a problem; felt Plan E would keep traffic away from the planter, could be negotiated easier, and would be a safer approach. Noted, since this proposal is strictly within the City's right-of-way, it should not interfere with Mr. Halstead's development. Mayor Grant questioned the City Engineer's reaction to a proposed three-way stop sign. City Engineer Kicak voiced opposition to that proposal. David Terbest, 22365 Barton Road, felt the problem in that area is excessive speed. Councilwoman Pfennighausen did not feel the proposed alternative would solve the problem. Councilman Petta stated the record has shown that the planter at that intersection has been hit several times and there was a near fatality. Feels Plan E would improve the situation and would beautify the corner. Motion by Councilman Petta to approve Alternte E for the design of Barton Road and Palm Avenue as proposed by the City Engineer for a total of $14,500, died for lack of a Second. CC-84-191 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, that the intersection of Barton Road and Palm Avenue remain as it presently exists, carried 3-1, with Councilman Petta voting NOE. GAGE CANAL ACCESS City Engineer Kicak advised a Staff Report was provided for informational purposes to advise Council that Staff has been working with at least two developers in the area of Canal Street, Mt. Vernon, and Barton Road; all affected property owners have been notified that the developers are interested in helping plan that entire area to minimize future planning of individual parcels; the reaction has been very positive from the majority of the property owners. Recommended not approaching Gage Canal relative to a crossing until a plan for that entire area has been completed. Page 10 - 6/28/84 F1 TAX & REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES RESOLUTION NO. 84-21 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CAL RNIA, APPOINTING SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR TEMPORARY PROCEEDINGS AND ISSUANCE OF NOTES. RESOLUTION NO. 84-22 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WAND TERRACE, CALORNIA, PROVIDING FOR THE BORROWING OF FUNDS FOR FY 1984-85 AND THE ISSUANCE OF 1984-85 TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES THEREFOR. Finance Director Schwab recommended authorizing the issuance of Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes to even out the City's cash flow and to allow approved projects to begin earlier in the fiscal year. This proposal would allow the City to receive in advance the anticipated revenues for this fiscal year; since the Notes are tax free and can be traded at a rate lower than the investment rate, the interest funds accrued from the investment will allow this financing at no cost to the City. There is a potential to make money, but the basic purpose is to even out the cash flow. Councilman Rigley voiced concern that a balance forward was reflected at the time the Capital Improvement Projects were being considered, which reflected to him the City had the money at that time. Mr. Schwab stated that there was no balance forward; stated he had shown at the end of this fiscal year a very small cash balance in the general fund of less than $2,000. The majority is loaned out to the CRA. Stated the funds are not in the bank, which is not uncommon. When the City budgets 2.9 Million Dollars, the funds are not in the bank, but are anticipated to come into the City during the year. The projects which have been slated for the next fiscal year can be accomplished. The Barton Road Reconstruction Project could begin in a month with this financing; otherwise the City would have to wait until spring to begin, which could impact construction costs. The cash flow problem began when the City paid cash for the construction of the fire station. Mayor Grant questioned if any firm other than Miller & Schroeder submitted an offer to purchase the notes. Stated that just because the City has used this firm previously, does not necessarily mean it should continue with this particular firm. Feels other vendors should be given an opportunity to submit offers. Mr. Schwab stated the firm of Miller & Schroeder Municipals, Inc., was chosen to sell the bonds for a charge of one percent, which is in line with that charged by other firms. Councilman Petta stated since the City has previously contracted with Miller & Schroeder and has been satisfied, it is better to continue with that firm, rather than trying new organizations. Mayor Grant stated, for the record, he is prepared to reluctantly support Staff's recommendation; does not want to rubber stamp a vendor because they may or may not have done a good job, especially when no one else has been tried. Feels what is being recommended is of sufficient importance to this community that he will support, notwithstanding his serious concerns. Page 11 - 6/28/84 CC-84-192 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES by all present, to adopt Resolution Nos. 84-21 and 84-22. Councilman Rigley, with Council concurring, commended Finance Director Schwab for an excellent job of presenting and explaining all financial matters. STREETLIGHT INSTALLATION Community Services Director Anstine requested authorization to allow SCE to install street lights on existing SCE poles at three intersections for safety purposes due to the low visibility in those areas. CC-84-193 Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES by all present, to approve the installation of street lights at the following three intersections: Mt. Vernon Avenue/Van Buren; Mt. Vernon/Grand Terrace Road; and Barton Road/Honey Hill Drive, for an annual energy cost of $432. Recess was called at 9:10 p.m. and reconvened at 9:32 p.m., with all memYers present except Councilman Nix. RESOLUTION NO. 84-27 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALORNIA, OF INTENTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS TO PROVIDE FINANCING FOR A MULTI -FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. Councilwoman Pfennighausen objected to the indication in the first paragraph of the Resolution indicating a serious shortage of decent, safe and sanitary housing. Attorney McFarlin will revise the wording. Advised McMillin Development, Inc., is proposing to build a 280-unit apartment complex to be known as "Mt. Vernon Villas" on a 14-acre parcel on the west side of Mt. Vernon Avenue south of Grand Terrace Road and east of Gage Canal. The proposed financing would be contingent upon Planning Commission approval of the development. This is an inducement resolution which sets the date after which costs can be incurred and reimbursed out of the Bond Program and does not commit the Council to anything other than recognizing the project. The City would issue the bonds, which would be secured by revenues from the project; the proceeds would be transferred through a trustee (savings and loan) to a lender; the lender will provide a letter of credit guaranteeing payments to the City. The developer will pledge to provide 20% of the units as low and moderate income units on a priority basis to individuals with income less than 80% of the average during a 10-year period, or the term of the bonds. There is no risk to the City; the trustee protects the City from any direct responsibility or liability. This proposal would benefit the City since this would satisfy the requirement to set aside 20% of tax increment for low and moderate income housing; thus funding would become available for other projects. 0 Page 12 - 6/28/84 With the understanding that Resolution No. 84-27 does not commit the CC-84-194 City, Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES by all present, to adopt Resolution No. 84-27, with modification of the first paragraph. ZONE CHANGES Planning Director Kicak stated alternate methods of bringing the zoning into conformance with the General Plan have previously been discussed. The alternatives for accomplishing zone changes are to do a mass zone change or parcel by parcel within a reasonable time period. Advised that Planning Commission Chairman Collins has expressed that he feels the zone changes should be conducted on an individual basis as projects are processed. Requested Council direction on the procedure to be used to accomplish the zone changes. CC-84-195 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES by all present, to direct Staff to proceed with a mass zone change to bring all properties into conformance with the designated Land Use Element at no cost to the property owners.

CC-84-197 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES by all present, to authorize the City Clerk to charge $190 for each Candidate Statement submitted for printing in the sample ballot. RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE LOCATION OF A STATE PRISON IN THE GLEN HELEN AREA OR ANYWHERE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY Page 13 - 6/28/84 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to adopt the Resolution opposing the location of a prison in the Glen Helen area or anywhere in San Bernardino County. Mayor Grant and Councilman Rigley voiced opposition to a prison in the Glen Helen area but felt Adelanto should be allowed to have the prison if it desires. Councilman Petta and Councilwoman Pfennighausen opposed additional prisons in San Bernardino County including Adelanto. Councilman Petta felt it would impact economic development in the inland area and Councilwoman Pfennighausen felt it would directly affect the court system, the probation system, and the law enforcement system in this area. Both indicated a considerable number of prisoners are from Los Angeles County. The Motion failed 2-2, with AYES by Councilwoman Pfennighausen and Councilman Petta and NOES by Mayor Grant and Councilman Rigley.

Mayor Grant stated Resolution No. 82-35, adopted August 12, 1982, opposing a prison anywhere in San Bernardino County is still valid, and should be sent to the Board of Supervisors. City Attorney Hopkins advised he will proceed with the matters requested by Council regarding the evaluation of the City Manager as soon as Councilman Nix provides the evaluation form.
