with the Lions Club. City Manager Armstead indicated it had been.

CC-81-103 Following discussion and clarification, Motion by Mayor Tillinghast,
second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES, to approve the bid request
for acquisition and installation of steel doors at the Community
Center.
FMHA COMMUNITY FACILITIES LOAN PRE -APPLICATION
Some discussion took place regarding whether this pre -application
is premature, since more detailed information is needed on what
data is required or, since this is a pre -application, whether any
more information is required at this time. Attention was given to
the fact that the pre -application makes reference to a fire station
and a community services center, when it has not been decided
whether or not these facilities will be combined. The City Attorney
was asked to give clarification as to what commitment the City is
making in filing a pre -application.
City Attorney Nazarek stated that a pre -application is a three or
four -page document prepared by the Federal Government, which in
general terms describes what you are seeking, which is Federal
assistance to accomplish a project at an estimated cost. When
this document is filed, it is circulated among a number of Federal
funding agencies as a matter of routine. The City does meet a
criteria from a population standpoint, which is communities of
20,000 or less. At some point in the future, the City will receive
a letter from the Farmers Home Administration indicating they will
be the agency which may provide a loan to the City, and they will
Page three -
4/9/81
itemize a list of documents which the City will be required to
submit to them, such as Engineering Feasibility Report; at which
time the City will specify the project and detailed cost breakdown.
It is a method of securing a loan. FmHA will evaluate the
documents and, if funding is available in the current fiscal year
and your project meets their approval, they will give you a letter
of condition; and then the City will be required to comply with
additional conditions. It truly is a pre -application.
Councilman Nix questioned whether Attorney Nazarek is aware of
a letter which was received from ISI relative to this application,
in which they specify a list of documents which will be required.
One of the items required is a soil composition data and site.
Attorney Nazarek then recommended deferring action on this item
until further information could be supplied. City Manager
Armstead stated if the City submits this application in April
or May, the City could still be considered.
Mayor Tillinghast, with concurrence of Council, referred the matter
to Staff to be brought back to Council at the next meeting.
MUNICIPAL FIRE INSURANCE STUDY
Mayor Tillinghast questioned the source of the funds, stating
Staff had been requested in the past to provide this information
on items that are not listed in the budget, and requested that
this be made part of the normal routine. 0
Following discussion and clarification that this study can be
provided at a modest cost, since the cost of the study will be
shared by all of the cities within the California Contract Cities
CC-81-104 Association, Motion by Mayor Tillinghast, second by Councilman
Nix, ALL AYES, to approve a $300 assessment for the Municipal Fire
Insurance Study for the California Contract Cities Association.
RESOLUTION NO. 81-23
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE,
CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER OF
THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK WITH THAT OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
Councilman Grant stated the San Bernardino County Board of
Supervisors is presently considering a proposal to consolidate
or merge the Office of the San Bernardino County Clerk, an elected
office, with that of the Superior Court Executive Office. He
stated he was opposed to this proposal for the following reasons:
Is very familiar with respective functions of both offices; to
maintain the objective integrity of the Office of the County
Clerk; some of the County Clerk's responsibilities should remain
removed from the arbitrary influence of the Superior Court; and
the County Clerk's Office would no longer be an elected position.

CC-81-105 Motion by Councilman Grant, second by Mayor Tillinghast, ALL AYES,
that the City Council go on record in the form of a resolution

San Bernardino County Clerk as being contrary to the public

dino County.

Loma Linda that since some individuals were apprehended in Grand
Terrace, the crime rate in Loma Linda has also gone down.
BID AWARD - HANDICAP SIDEWALK RAMP CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Brian Esgate, Engineering Department, advised Council approval has
been received from HUD on this project, and recommended Council
authorize the City Engineer's Office to prepare a contract and
award the bid to Riverside Construction Company, the low bidder on
the project.
CC-81-109 Motion by Councilman Petta, second by Councilman Nix, ALL AYES, to
award the bid for the Handicap Sidewalk Ramp Construction Project
to Riverside Construction Company for the price of $11,000.00.
PERMANENT STAFF POSITIONS REQUEST
City Manager Seth Armstead recommended approval of the four following
permanent positions on the City Staff: Clerk -Typist; Maintenance &
Environmental Leadman; Maintenance & Custodial Worker; and Account
Clerk.
Mr. Armstead stated that the four CETA employees, who have been
filling these positions, have been functioning as part of the City
Staff since the CETA program was authorized by Council; have proven
to be effective additions to the City Staff; and have made it
possible to provide an increased service to the public and to
decrease overtime of the current employees. Added that fifteen
Public Service Employment positions have been abolished within
the City due to the elimination of that program under CETA. Mr.
Armstead stated the additional funds, $54,000.00 per year, for
payment of these positions are available from the unallocated
FY 80-81 funds, and no additional office space or equipment would
be required.
Page six -
4/9/81
Councilman Grant stated he supported this request; feels the
request is in compliance with the intent of the CETA program;
feels if the positions are not authorized, he would be concerned
about the additional work load among the present Staff; and
noted the salary ranges for the City are lower than any of the
seven cities surveyed.
Councilman Petta supported the proposal, and noted that a proposed
contract for maintenance services would far exceed the cost for
hirina an individual who would be available at all times.
Councilman Rigley stated he had voiced concern at the time the
CETA program was established, that once positions were created
it would be difficult to function without them; does not believe
this has been the case and commended Staff for holding down the
number of positions requested; supports this request and feels it
is valid due to the increased work load created by sewage billing
and the need for maintenance.
Councilman Nix voiced concurrence with Councilman Rigley's state-
ment, and commended Staff for not requesting fourteen positions;
feels, although it is a significant increase in employees, the
City is still functioning efficiently with far fewer employees
than the surrounding cities.
Mayor Tillinghast stated he would not oppose the establishment
of the four positions; however, he felt more justification could
have been provided, such as estimates of work load, and would
still like to have more information, since he had previously
indicated that future position requests should include a need for
the position. He stated a review of the class specifications and
job descriptions indicates one position is under -classified rather
than over -classified.
CC-81-110 Motion by Councilman Grant, second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES,
to: Approve the revised organizational chart; approve the job
descriptions and establishment of the positions of: Clerk -Typist,
Maintenance & Environmental Leadman, Maintenance & Custodial Worker,
and Account Clerk; adopt Resolution No. 81-22 rescinding Resolu-
tion No. 80-25 and establishing a schedule of salary ranges for
employees of the City of Grand Terrace; and authorize re -allocation
of funds in the amount of $14,000.00 to pay for the positions.
PROPOSED BLUE MOUNTAIN LAND EXCHANGE
Council discussed and recommended a site visit be planned and
additional information be provided to clarify the identification
of the property as well as the usability of the land prior to
further action on this matter.
Page seven-
4/9/81
Mr. Mike Stewart displayed a map and pointed out the ten -acre
site, which he has proposed to exchange for the City's 4.5-acre
parcel. He state he would install a road that would connect with
DeBerry Street to provide access to the property, and would be
willing to perform certain other work on the City -owned property.
Councilman Petta stated the purpose of obtaining the 4.5-acre
parcel was that it would be the only flat area to provide parking
and picnic facilities; the elimination of this parcel could
significantly change the aspect for which the Park was intended.
Mayor Tillinghast stated arrangements will be made through the City
Manager's Office for members of the Council to visit the site prior
to further action on this matter.
FIRE STATION/COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMITTEE
City Manager Seth Armstead recommended establishing a Fire Station/
Community Service Committee consisting of: Two Councilmen; Howard
Wright, the Battalion Fire Chief; the City Manager; the Finance/
Administrative Services Officer; and the City Engineer, Joe Kicak.
The responsibilities of the Committee would be to determine the
programming, size, site, and cost of construction of each facility;
and to report the recommendations to the City Council.
In discussion, Council stated they would prefer a five -member
committee, to be appointed by Council, consisting of members of the
community who would receive assistance from Staff. Council will
appoint members to this Committee at the Council meeting of April
23, 1981.
STREET SWEEPING SCHEDULE
Bob Carey, the street sweeping Contractor, advised Council the City
has been divided into four quadrants, with the residential streets
being swept once a month and Barton Road, Mt. Vernon, the areas
in front of all three schools, and DeBerry Street, including the
portion of the street by Terrace Hills Community Park, being
swept on a weekly basis. He stated some problems he is having
regarding litter and the volume of trash and mud being picked
up, stating that every one -and -a -half months he has swept eight
tons of debris, and trusts this amount will lessen after the initial
clean-up. Will be meeting with the Clean Communities System to
receive and give input regarding street sweeping. Stated there
is a problem with young children running along side and behind
the sweeper, and he is concerned for their safety. Recommended
schools or Boy Scouts provide him the opportunity to educate the
young children regarding the dangers; stated he would be happy
to conduct demonstrations.
Judy Rinderhagen stated she is the PTA President for Terrace View
Elementary School and was not aware of this problem. She will
coordinate establishment of a safety program in this area.
Page eight -
4/9/81
Councilman Nix recommended consideration of placing trash
containers in certain areas to encourage citizens not to
litter.
Mayor Tillinghast opened the meeting to public participation.
Barbara Pfennighausen, 12364 Pascal, questioned the value of
placing trash containers until a total educational program had
been accomplished. Bob Yeates, 12888 Fremontia, stated he wasn't
previously aware of some of the problems indicated by Mr. Carey.
Stated trash containers are presently available in commercial
areas, and recommended any problems or questions regarding
litter be directed to Clean Community Systems by calling 783-2450.
Dick Rollins, 22700 DeBerry, addressed Council regarding issuing
citations to individuals who leave their cars parked on the
street when the streets are scheduled to be swept. Mayor
Tillinghast closed the meeting to public participation.
RECESS was called at 9:40 p.m., and reconvened 9:50 p.m., with
all members present.
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES - CITRUS BELT DIVISION REPRESENTATIVES
CC-81-111 Motion by Councilman Grant, second by Councilman Nix, ALL AYES, to
appoint Mayor Tillinghast as the representative and Councilman
Rigley as the alternate to represent the City for the Citrus Belt
Division of the League of California Cities.
RESOLUTION NO. 81-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO REMOVE RESTRICTIONS AND
PROHIBITIONS ON THE USE OF NATURAL GAS IN UTILITY POWER PLANTS.
Joe Falkner, Area Manager for Southern California Edison Company,
advised Council that in 1978 Congress was concerned about a
possible shortage of natural gas and passed the Fuel Use Act,
which limited the amount of natural gas that could be used for
electricity. He requested Council adopt this Resolution in support
of repealing this Act to lessen the increase in the cost of
electricity; the use of natural gas is cleaner; the economic
factor of keeping money in this country, rather than giving it
to the OPEC nations; and the fact that natural gas is available
and should be used.
CC-81-112 Motion by Councilman Rigley, second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES,
to adopt Resolution No. 81-21.

CITY ENGINEER REPORT
CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 - TERRACE HILLS COMMUNITY PARK SITE
Brian Esgate, Engineering Staff, recommended Council approve the
Change Order as presented, and authorize the City Manager to
execute the Change Order. He stated the original Plans and
Specifications had been prepared with the very minimum amount
of work which would be required to get the grass planted in the
Park, with the understanding that if the bids came in lower, they
could prepare a Change Order to upgrade the Plans and Specifications.
The successful bidder was approximately $10,000.00 under budget;
therefore, Staff is requesting approval of a Change Order, to ensure
establishment of a good turf for the Park site, in the amount of
$9,411.00.
CC-81-113 Motion by Councilman Rigley, second by Councilman Nix, ALL AYES,
to approve Contract Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. GTC81-09,
Irrigation and Landscaping in the amount of $9,411.00.
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Brian Esgate, Engineering Staff, referred to a memorandum written
to City Manager Armstead regarding a method whereby the City can
prepare or upgrade street improvements, since this directly cor-
responds to the problems the City has had on the Slurry Seal Program
and other areas of concern where there is constant running water
and algae buildup. Mr. Esgate requested Council authorize Engineer-
ing Staff to prepare an cost estimate of the areas which need improve-
ment and to define a method of financing over a period of time.
Councilman Grant recommended including Mr. Arkebaur's property in
the report, and recommended establishing a fund in the FY 1981-82
Budget to provide for resolution of Mr. Arkebaur's and other similar
problems.
Mayor Tillinghast stated he has experience working on a program
similar to this, and stated, where it is seen that improvements
within a community would benefit not only the adjacent property
owner, but also the City, that it could be a cooperative project
sharing the costs. This method also allows placement of the
costs on the tax rolls in order to spread the costs over a period
of years, thereby not requiring a large initial investment by the
property owner.
Mr. Esgate stated he has seen no indication from Mr. Arkebaur that
he would be willing to share the cost of the project.

CITY MANAGER REPORT
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES' MAYORS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE
CC-81-114
Motion by Councilman Grant, second by Councilman Rigley, ALL AYES,
to approve attendance by Mayor Tillinghast at the League of
California Cities' Mayors and Council Members Legislative Con-
ference to be held in Sacramento May 11-13, 1981.
City Manager Seth Armstead advised Council use of the CRT unit in
the Engineering Staff Department will be discontinued, which will
result in a savings of $400.00 a month.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Nix made the following recommendations regarding the
sewer billing: (1) Provide return envelopes; (2) inform the
community that the increase in sewer billing is not only for
the administration of the billing, but also for maintenance of
the collection system; (3) inform the community the funds collected
from the sewer billing are designated funds, must be audited, and
can only be used for a specific purpose -- that an adjustment will
I
be made should there be an overage.
Councilman Grant reported the following: (1) The 1981 Southern
California Associated Governments (SCAG) General Assembly meeting
le
will be held in Irvine, April 16. An election will be held at that
k
time for a new member and assistant member to the SCAG Executive
Committee - feels some new members would be an asset to the Committee;
(2) did not attend the interim hearing on re -apportionment conducted by
Assemblyman Alatorre, since there do not appear to be any changes
required in the re -apportionment for our City; (3) attended a
meeting of the Omnitrans Board of Directors on April 1. At that
time the Omnitrans Board rescinded their previous action to issue
themselves free boarding passes to ride the buses. Also at that
meeting, the Board contracted with Inland Systems Engineering for
a medium -size computer; (4) attended an April 1 meeting of the
San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) Board; (5) attended
the LAFC hearing, however, the Status Report for the Colton -Grand
Terrace -Loma Linda -San Bernardino Study has not begun.
Mayor Tillinghast reported the following: (1) Read a letter he
received this date from the Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce
regarding their support for Council's action in requesting a
petition be sent to the PUC requesting a change in our telephone
dialing area; Mayor Tillinghast asked about the status of this
situation. City Manager Armstead said the City Attorney has
prepared the petition and will be forwarding it to the PUC;
(2) attended a joint meeting of the Public Agencies in San
Bernardino County, April 8, at the Convention Center,
at the request of Robert Hammock, Chairman of the
Page eleven -
San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, regarding
4/9/81
Park Bond allocation and matters of mutual concern.
At this time it does not appear than an agreement will be
reached for the distribution of funds for this fiscal year.
The meeting adjourned prior to discussion of mutual concerns;
(3) questioned the possibility there may be confusion interpreting
the Sign Ordinance, especially in the commercial zones and what
types of signs are authorized on certain properties. New signs
at Bloomer's Tack and Western Wear do not conform to the Sign
Ordinance, both in number and types of signs. Recommended Staff
review the Sign Ordinance to insure the signs presently in the
community are in compliance for equitable enforcement of the
Ordinance. Councilman Petta requested clarification of "equitable"
and stated common sense should be applied when reviewing signs for
compliance.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The following citizens addressed Council: Dick Rollins, 22700
DeBerry, commended Jim McLean, Building & Safety, for the outstand-
ing job he is performing on building inspections. Voiced concern
regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Terrace Hills
Community Park, particularly by the Slow -Pitch Men's Baseball Team
which uses the Park on Sundays, and the condition of the grounds
once the team has left leaving beer bottles and cans. He called
the Sheriff's Department; however, no satisfaction was received
from the Officer. Plans to discuss enforcement of Ordinance with
Lt. McDonald. Understands a large development is planned in
Riverside County adjacent to the City, and because of the increase
of traffic this will bring about, recommends City coordinate this
matter. Councilman Grant recommended a meeting of the City Manager
with the Terrace Hills Junior High School Principal, the School
Board, and Dick Jacobson to arrive at a solution to the problem of
alcoholic beverages being consumed on the School property.
Barbara Pfennighausen, 12364 Pascal, regarding the use of the
Terrace Hills Junior High School as a prime drinking area. She
stated she witnessed this at 7:00 p.m. one evening and felt
concern for both the Girl Scouts at that time and the debris
of disposed bottles and cans. Also questioned amounts charged
on the sewer bills - how much of the original $11.10 sewer billing
from Colton was a billing fee by the City of Colton. Felt the
sewer billing letter was very confusing, and objects to the billing
procedure.
Dolores Kossman, 22735 DeSoto, recommended making the Sign Ordinance
available to each business that applies for a business license.
Bob Yeates, 12888 Fremontia, questioned if the law prohibiting
consumption of alcoholic beverages on school property is enforce-
able at this time, and recommended posting the Ordinance number or
Penal Code on the signs.
