The Planning Director advised this is a three lot subdivision for condominiums, to be developed in phases. The applicant has met all requirements; the Planning Commission has heard and approved the matter; recommended approval. Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing on the matter and, there being no testimony either for or against the matter, closed Public Hearing. Pa e one - 6/g/82 CC-82-125 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to approve the following: (1) Adopt the Negative Declaration issued for Tentative Tract Map 12218; (2) Adopt the findings shown on page 2 of the Staff Report dated May 3, 1982, by reference; (3) Approve Tentative Tract Map 12218 subject to special conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission, pages 1 through 3 of the Special Conditions attached to Staff Report, by reference. SITE PLAN 82-6 - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 12218 Request: Appeal of Planning Commission Condition No. 10 requiring concrete tile roof. Applicant: J. B. Karger The Planning Director advised this project for 35 units has been approved by the Planning Commission with conditions. The developer is appealing Condition No. 10 requiring concrete tile roofs, and is requesting dual roofs, with concrete tile in the front and composition in back, to allow him to install solar panels. The Planning Commission felt strongly that the roofs should consist completely of concrete tile; Staff recommends upholding the Planning Commission decision. Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing on the matter. Supporting Testimony J. B. Karger, 11668 Bernardo Way, the applicant, distributed photographs of the proposed project and advised the back roofs would only be seen from the alley, coming out of Mirado Street going south on DeBerry, and possibly from the corner unit on Mt. Vernon. On some of the plans, the heating and air conditioning units will be on top of the roof, and will require maintenance, as will the solar panels. Voiced concern that walking on tile roofs may cause them to break and will result in the roofs leaking. Mr. Karger voiced opposition to the Planning Commission conducting architectural review, feeling the primary function should be to consider zoning, setbacks, etc. Council stated that architectural review is part of the Planning Commission responsibility. George Forbes, 12161 Dos Rios Avenue, stated the new asbestos shingles are attractive, fireproof, and serviceable. Opposing Testimony Ernie Zampese, 11963 Honey Hill Drive, stating he is neither for nor against the matter, questioned on which side of the buildings the solar panels would be placed. Mr. Karger stated the solar panels will be placed on the front of the buildings. Mr. Zampese recommended recessing the roofs for the heating and air conditioning units; therefore, tile roofs could be used, and the units would be hidden. Mr. Karger stated recessing the units would be difficult, due to cathedral ceilings. 9�9182" - Rebuttal Testimony J. B. Karger stated that the project is identical to plans used in other counties. Recommended mandating solar water heaters throughout the City. Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing. Council questioned if the Planning Commission decision was based solely upon the aesthetic issue and if tile breakage was considered; Councilman Petta recommended placing a sufficient amount of tile on the back so that visually all tile would be seen from the street. The Planning Director stated similar discussions were held, with the same points covered; the decision was based on aesthetics; the Commission objected to dual roofs. Responding to Council's request for an opinion, Mr. Larry Wolff, Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher Architects, stated aesthetics should be a major concern of the Planning Commission and Council; would not recommend mixing roofing materials; recommended using one of the highest grades of the new asphalt materials such as Woodlands or Johns Manville; feels the new heavy textured composition shingles are as aesthetically pleasing as some tiles. Councilman Nix questioned tile roofs being consistent with the surrounding area. Doesn't object to composition roofs; serviceability with solar units and air conditioning units is an issue to be recognized. Feels combination roofs are acceptable. Councilman Rigley clarified the solar units will be placed in front where tile is already proposed; questioned where other tile roofs are located in that area; indicated hesitant in not supporting the Planning Commission, but questioned why the Commission opposed composition roofs. Mayor Grant referenced a letter from Mr. Karger and comments by Mr. Zampese, stating the problem appears to be something that was not addressed in the Planning Commission Minutes. Councilwoman Pfennighausen commended the Planning Commission for protecting the City's appearance; suggested it investigate new materials which would be more compatible with solar technology; recommended composition roofs as described by the architect. Mayor Grant reopened Public Hearing. Mr. Karger stated that he wants the most aesthetically pleasing and functional design possible; opposes this condition because of the solar units; is willing to put in enough tile off Mt. Vernon and both sides of Mirado to be aesthetically pleasing from there and from DeBerry Street; prefers a combination roof. George Forbes recommended referring the matter back to the Planning Commission for a recommendation, based on new information submitted. Page three - 6/9/82 CC-82-126 Page four - 6/9/82 Mr. Larry Wolff stated he is impartial to this matter; stated most leading manufacturers, such as Johns Manville and Flint Coat, have a top -of -the line composition shingles which give the same appearance, if not more textured, than heavy shake roofs, and which are more cost effective and fire retardant; strongly opposed to mixing materials. Tom Tillinghast, 22667 Brentwood Street, stated he feels mixing materials is inappropriate; materials should be consistent throughout. Mr. Karger suggested all tile roofs except directly underneath the solar, heating, and air conditioning units with a six-foot wide walkway to allow servicing of the units; opposed to all composition roofs. Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing. Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Mayor Grant, to approve the appeal of Mr. Karger, with the requirement to use first class composition shingles, described by the architect; samples of roofing material to be used are to be presented to the Planning Commission for approval. Motion by Councilman Petta to amend the Motion to allow the applicant the opportunity to pursue this matter further with the Planning Commission, died for lack of a Second. Following discussion, the Motion failed, 2-3, with AYES by Councilman Rigley and Mayor Grant and NOES by Councilman Petta, Councilman Nix, and Councilwoman Pfennighausen. Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, that this matter be continued to the Council Meeting of June 24, 1982. ORDINANCE NO. 60 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, REGARDING CONSOLIDATION OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION WITH THE STATEWIDE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION IN EVEN NUMBERED YEARS. City Attorney Hopkins read the title of the Ordinance. Mayor Grant stated this proposed ordinance reflects the results of the Advisory Measure presented at the April 13 General Municipal Election; opened Public Hearing on the matter. Supporting Testimony None 11 Opposing Testimony Tom Tillinghast, 22667 Brentwood, voiced opposition to the Ordinance and to the ballot, which stressed the lengthening of terms; felt insufficient explanation was provided; favored consolidating with school district elections for focus on local issues. Legislation is still pending which would authorize Council terms to be shortened by five months if consolidated with school district elections. Recommended sending full information packet in the monthly mailing to the residents. Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing. In discussion, Council felt the Attorney's Analysis of the Measure was clearly written and that the people understood the issues on which they were voting. Councilman Nix concurred with Mr. Tillinghast's statements about the issue and the manner in which it was presented; felt too much emphasis was placed on the terms of office, with insufficient discussion of the pros and cons; recommended postponing action until the new legislation is finalized and announcing a Public Hearing through the billing mailing to get public input. Councilman Rigley stated Council had the opportunity and the authority to vote on changing the election, but elected to put the issue on the ballot to let the people decide; feels the issue was clearly presented. CC-82-127 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Mayor Grant, to adopt Ordinance No. 60 by title only. Councilman Nix stated he doesn't feel the people are aware of the pending legislation which would shorten the terms in odd -numbered years consolidation, which could change the issue. Following discussion, Motion No. CC-82-127 carried 4-1, with Councilman Nix voting NOE. City Attorney Hopkins clarified it would be necessary to read the entire Ordinance, since there was not a unanimous vote; read the Ordinance in its entirety. Motion No. CC-82-127 carried 4-1, with Councilman Nix voting NOE. Recess was called at 9:15 p.m. and reconvened at 9:28 p.m., with all Members present. JOINT PUBLIC HEARING - CITY COUNCIL/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SITE SELECTION - CIVIC CENTER/COMMUNITY CENTER/FIRE STATrON-UPPM Mayor Grant announced that the purpose of convening the City Council and Community Redevelopment Agency is to hold a Joint Public Hearing for consideration of selection of a site for the Civic Center/ 6/ /82five - Community Center/Fire Station Complex and to then consider action jointly on matters relative to this. The City Manager recommended selecting a specific site for the Fire Station facility to allow the architect to begin actual design. Mayor Grant opened Public Hearing on the matter, following clarification that the purpose is to obtain public input relative to all facilities, and supporting or opposing testimony would not be addressed. George Forbes, 12161 Dos Rios Avenue, stated he is appearing as an interested citizen, resident, businessman, expert witness, and as a trustee of the Grand Terrace Congregational Church; stated he is President of Consdel Research and Development Company, a non-profit corporation. Mr. Forbes then distributed material and showed transparencies relative to possible sites for the Fire Station and Civic Center facilities, including 3.74 acres owned by the Grand Terrace Congregational Church, a site on Alba Court, and the present City property. Relative to the Church property, Mr. Forbes stated the front 1.43 acres is presently not available, but may be at a later date. The rear 3.74 acres is presently available at a price of $65,000 an acre. There is an existing easement on the rear of this property that allows access to Barton Road, Mt. Vernon, and Canal Street and access to Mt. Vernon, or five accesses; stated previous accessibility information was incorrectly stated; felt the Fire Station could also be located on that property. Mr. Forbes presented a cost comparison of the two options: Option No. 1 for 4.198 acres at $696,500, which included the price of the current City property, proposed costs for additional parking, and property on Alba Court; Option No. 23, Church property of 3.74 acres at a price of $243,100. Mr. Forbes stated that the Church facilities could be used by the City to eliminate the need for a temporary Civic Center facility plus the option of first refusal for future purchase of the 1.43 acres fronting on Mt. Vernon Avenue and the existing buildings; stated the property is ideally located topographically for energy conservation. Tom Tillinghast, 22667 Brentwood, recommended locating the Civic Center facility, including a County library, on the current City property; feels need has not been established for Community Center at this time. Dick Rollins, 22700 DeBerry, stated he feels residents on Palm Avenue will oppose locating the Fire Station near there. Mayor Grant closed public hearing on the matter. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated she is presenting a plea from the Fire Department that the Fire Station be located at its present location. I I Councilman Rigley stated, if the Civic Center is not built on the property currently owned by the City, which is strategically located, land will revert to the sellers; feels the Civic Center should be located on that site. Recommended locating the Fire Station on the north side of Alba Court, citing factors of response time, good ingress and egress, and that the architects' presentations revealed the need to allow room for expansion and parking. Mayor Grant concurred with Councilman Rigley; feels noise problem for the adjacent residents will be buffered by buildings constructed on the south side of Alba Court; recommended establishing a system at the intersection of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon whereby the signals would all flash red when the fire engine is approaching. Councilman Petta concurred with the Fire Station site on Alba Court and the City Hall being on the existing City -owned property, stating this will reduce costs, since another fire station will never be required. Councilman Nix stated it is clearly a concensus that the preferred site is on the north side and to the back of Alba Court; feels that placement will increase the response time. Feels the alternative presented by Mr. Forbes is a better proposal from a cost standpoint; questioned the higher rating given to Alba Court for compatibility with the area and for accessibility, since incorrect information on access was presented; feels there is a substantial difference in cost to the City. Mayor Grant reopened Public Hearing. John Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, stated he believes that the entrance to the Grand Terrace Congregational Church property is only a fire easement for the purpose of entering, and not for exit. George Forbes stated the recorded easement is for ingress and egress; stated that he feels confident that Council will feel the obligation to have open minds and make objective decisions. Ken Rinderhagen, 12738 Wilmac, stated he feels the existing fire station is ideally located; feels placing the site further back on the cul-de-sac would be disastrous, and there would be parking problems. Feels the Church property would lend itself nicely to a large complex, but the existing property for the Civic Center offices and the existing Fire Station would be ideal. Tom Tillinghast voiced complete concurrence with the statements made by Ken Rinderhagen. Mayor Grant closed Public Hearing. CC-82-128 Following discussion, Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, to initiate negotiations with the owners of the 0 land on the north side of Alba Court, on the back of the cul-de-sac, with the idea of establishing a Fire Station on that site. Page seven - 5/9/82 Councilman Nix spoke in support of the site on the north side of Alba Court at the back; however, since an alternative was presented, recommended directing the architect to prepare renderings of the two options for consideration prior to making a final commitment. Following discussion, Motion No. CC-82-128 carried 4-1, with Councilman Nix voting NOE. ARCHITECT - CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX The Community Services Director advised that, pursuant to Council direction, RFP's were circulated for architectural services. Four architectural firms gave presentations at the Meeting of May 20, 1982. Staff met with Larry Wolff, Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher, the first choice by the majority of Council, to discuss fees for the services to be provided; stated Mr. Wolff is available to respond to Council. Councilman Nix voiced objection to Staff's negotiating with only one firm, contrary to Council's direction to negotiate with the two top firms. Mr. Anstine stated the RFP clearly stated that negotiations would be conducted with Council's first choice, and if unsuccessful, those negotiations would be terminated, and negotiations would then begin with the second choice. Council concurred that the architect should prepare plans for the Fire Station and Civic Center, and discussed whether plans for the Community Center should be included. Mr. Larry Wolff, Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher Architects, stated the proposal specifically addressed services and fees for designing one, two, or three facilities; the City would realize considerable cost savings by having all facilities designed at one time, but the Community Center can be done later. Mr. Wolff further stated most existing fire station plans are satellite station designs and may not incorporate all functions that would be necessary for the City's facility; the site and solar technology should be considered. Mayor Grant opened the Meeting to public participation. Tom Tillinghast recommended designing only the Fire Station at this time. Ernie Zampese, 11963 Honey Hill Drive, recommended that plans be designed at this time to be ready at such time as grant opportunities and funding sources become available. Mayor Grant closed the Meeting to public participation. Following further discussion, Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, to tentatively negotiate with the Firm of Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher Architects in regards to the architectural requirements for a Fire Station and a Civic Center. Page eight - 6/9/82 Councilman Nix, with Councilman Rigley concurring, stated he doesn't oppose the Motion, but objects to Council's direction not being followed and to the Staff Report not reflecting the procedures specified in the RFP's. Following clarification that the proposed Contract with Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher Architicts includes a fee calculation for the facilities on a separate basis, and that the definition of the scope of services is outlined in the Agreement, the Motion was withdrawn. CC-82-129 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES, to approve the AIA Agreement between the City of Grand Terrace Community Redevelopment Agency and Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher Architects, and to authorize execution by the Mayor and Chairman. Recess was called at 11:06 p.m., and reconvened at 11:17 p.m., with all members present.

Council concurred with the change. PLANNING COMMISSION ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A PLANNING COMMISSION AND DESIGNATING THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS THE PLANNING AGENCY OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE: AND RESCINDING ORDINANCE NO. 28 City Attorney Hopkins read the title of the Ordinance. Council questioned the number of current Commissioners, and the immediate impact the change would have on the current membership. Interim Chairman Doug Erway stated there are currently eight Members and understands the current Members' terms would be continued until their terms had expired; stated certain Planning Commissioners have indicated they would not wish to be reconsidered for reappointment, so sees no problem in reducing the number. Page nine - 6/9/82 Mayor Grant opened the Meeting to public participation. Tom Tillinghast, 22667 Brentwood, opposed reducing the number, feeling nine members give more representation from the public at large than any other body in city government. Mayor Grant closed the meeting to public participation. Council requested information on how this action was initiated and the purpose for the change in the number of Planning Commissioners. CC-82-130 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, to approve the first reading of the Ordinance, by title only, and to set second reading and Public Hearing for the June 24, 1982, Council Meeting. PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE Chairman Dick Rollins reported the following: (1) Work is progressing on completion of the Terrace Hills Community Park.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Tom Tillinghast, 22667 Brentwood, referencing Item 3C on the Consent Calendar, stated neither the Civic Center nor the Community Services Center is listed on the five-year Capital Improvement Program; feels the Civic Center Complex, including the County Library facilities, should be included, and the Community Services Center should be delayed. Dick Rollins, 22700 DeBerry, recommended resealing the parking lot at Terrace Hills Community Park. BARTON ROAD IMPROVEMENTS The City Manager stated that all the information regarding this had been provided previously to Council. Councilman Petta stated this matter requires action, since Mr. Barbee, President of Valley Bank, has a letter in his possession which he considers official. Although Council is not legally bound by that letter, the individual should be able to rely on information which appears to be official; therefore, on that basis, Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Nix, that Council approve the Barton Road work as designated, provided that Valley Bank pays for the waterline construction, as the rest of the property owners along the street will be paying, and complies with all other requirements of the Planning Commission, including the 15-foot right-of-way. Following clarification that this action is being taken since Council feels this is a moral, rather than a legal obligation, Motion No. CC-82-136 carried, ALL AYES. TERRACE HILLS COMMUNITY PARK "PUNCH LIST" The Community Services Director stated this list was prepared as a result of the meeting held at the park on April 14, showing the recommendations and the action taken. Council questioned how a fence would affect the philosophy of the joint use of facilities; questioned the extent of damage, the approximate cost, and how fencing will eliminate the problem. Stated different doors than steel on the restrooms would have been easier to maintain from a graffiti standpoint. The Community Services Director stated that the irrigation system has plastic heads which break easily - the cost to replace each is $35.00 - $55.00; turf is being destroyed; feels fencing will eliminate damage and will make it easier for the Sheriff to apprehend the individuals. Dick Rollins recommended approaching the School District regarding planting the bank. Mayor Grant directed Staff to contact the appropriate individuals at the Colton Joint Unified School District to discuss planting and maintaining the bank and abating the weeds. STREET SWEEPING CONTRACT The City Manager advised Council that the Firm of Inland Power Sweeping had been performing the street sweeping services for the City for the past six months, with a minimal number of complaints; recommended renegotiating a Contract for FY 1982-83. CC-82-137 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilman Nix, to authorize Staff to renegotiate and renew a Contract with Inland Power Sweeping, subject to final Council approval. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the sweeping service has been unsatisfactory in her area; questioned if there is a charge for re -sweeping unsatisfactory areas. Dennis Rieger, President of Inland Power Sweeping Services, Inc., referencing the problem on Councilwoman Pfennighausen's street, stated the driver was not aware of the sweeping procedure in Grand Terrace; the street had boards, rocks, and excessive water. That street was re -swept the following day, at no charge. The City Manager has requested sweeping the entire street - normally do - the gutters only. The City is charged by the hour, rather than by curb mile. CC-82-138 Following concensus that the Firm does an excellent job, Motion No. CC-82-138 carried, ALL AYES. RESOLUTION - FISCAL YEAR 1982-83 BUDGET Council concurred with deferring action on this item until the Meeting of June 24 to allow time to review the final Budget with amendments, which have been made during work sessions. P�0782welve - Mayor Grant opened the Meeting to public participation. Tom Tillinghast stated that Page XII incorrectly shows that the City Manager has a five -step salary range. Mayor Grant closed the Meeting to public participation; stated the correction will be noted; that further action will be deferred until June 24. BID REQUEST - ANNUAL PARK MAINTENANCE The Community Services Director stated that the existing Contract for park maintenance services will terminate on July 28; the current rate of compensation is $19,992; recommended authorizing Staff to prepare specifications for Annual Park Maintenance and to solicit bids for FY 1982-83. Council questioned why Staff recommends requesting bids for this Contract, rather than renegotiating. Mr. Anstine stated it does not relate to present performance, but is a matter of economics; since many landscaping contractors are currently unemployed, feels advantageous to solicit bids. CC-82-139 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Mayor Grant, to direct Staff to prepare specifications for Annual Park Maintenance and to authorize Staff to solicit bids. Councilman Nix questioned the rationale; felt Mr. Anstine's statement was valid, but should therefore recognize the economics and benefits and renegotiate all contracts. Following discussion, Motion No. CC-82-139 carried, ALL AYES. ORDINANCE NO. (First Reading) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, RESCINDING ORDINANCE NO. 19 AND PROHIBITING THE USE OF RESIDENTIAL STREETS FOR THE STORAGE OF VEHICLES AND IMPOSING PARKING RESTRICTIONS. City Attorney Hopkins read the title of the Ordinance. Councilman Petta stated he had been contacted regarding opposition to allow recreational vehicles to park 72 hours; recommended a compromise. Mayor Grant noted that all alternatives had been considered thoroughly at the previous Council Meeting, and felt it to be a "no -win" situation. CC-82-140 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to approve the first reading of the Ordinance, by title only, and to set second reading and Public Hearing for June 24, 1982. LITTER SIGNS The City Manager recommended approval of Clean Community Systems' request that four additional signs be erected at the entrances to p,� hirteen - Grand Terrace as a reminder to citizens hauling refuse that load covers are required. CC-82-141 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, to approve the establishment of four warning signs for entrances to the City reading "Refuse Load Covers Required" at a cost of $400, to be deducted from the Traffic Maintenance Account Line Item No. 16-4913-255. JOINT USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES Councilman Nix stated it was probably necessary for the City Manager to obtain portable restrooms for the park site, but would have preferred obtaining use of school restrooms for the interim period; stated the City is paying fees for programs and receiving no service other than facilities being opened for use; has heard the City does not want responsibility for the keys; requested that a Staff Report be prepared reflecting the present status, and why we are not doing more toward joint use of facilities, such as restrooms and for supporting the City programs. Mayor Grant directed Staff to take action on this matter. CITY MANAGER REPORT The City Manager noted that there are seven unpaid sewer accounts remaining from the original listing of 195. As of June 14, the City will take further action to start disconnecting the sewers for non-payment; read the list of the seven remaining unpaid accounts as follows: J. Ortega, 22808 Minona Dr.; R.
