TITLE: Fiscal Consultant Services Contract—Additional Contract Services
PRESENTED BY: Bernie Simon, Finance Director
RECOXIMENDATION: 1)Approve and Appropriate
2)Authorize Executive Director to Execute Contract Amendment
BACKGROUND:
On February 8, 2011, the Agency Board consented to Staff exploration of redevelopment bond
issuance as one of the options presented by the City Manager to protect the revenue and assets of
the Agency in light of Governor Brown's proposal to disestablish redevelopment agencies.
- The governor's disestablishment proposal is part of his $27.6. billion State budget deficit '
solution. However, disestablishment of redevelopment agencies will only assist the state for one
year, as currently proposed, while.it will have a long term or.permanent effect on cities. Many
city and county leaders as well as the California Redevelopment Association and League of
California Cities oppose the disestablishment proposal as a loss of jobs and economic
development for local governments. The loss of funding of the agency will eliminate the ability
of the City of Grand Terrace to do major projects and will decrease overall funding for staff and
administrative costs because the City is highly "leveraged" by redevelopment revenue. The loss
in redevelopment funds will also lead to a major decrease of pooled funds for cash flow.
DISCUSSION:
The Redevelopment Agency receives revenue from tax increment. Tax increment is a portion of
regular property taxes within the Redevelopment Project Area that result from increases in the
projecr'area assessed value that exceed the base year assessed value, which are typically a result
of redevelopment initiatives. The county auditor-controller reallocates the increase in taxes to the
redevelopment agency rather than the overlapping agencies receiving apportionment of the 1.0%
general property tax levy, subject to agreements between the affected agencies and the
redevelopment agency, as long as the agency has debt requirements. The increment paid to the
overlapping agencies is called pass-through. Since the passing_of AB1290, new pass-through
payments are no longer negotiated but are based on state law. Twenty percent of the gross tax
increment is also required to be used for low and moderate housing purposes.
CRA AGENDA ITEM NO.
On January 12, 2010, the Agency Board amended and revised the Redevelopment Plan to
increase the plan time limits, increase the bonded indebtedness limit and tax increment limit. It
was assumed that the agency would eventually issue bonds for public benefit projects as well for
economic development to increase the tax base.
Governor Brown's proposal, if passed by the legislators for the new budget year, would preclude
the ability of the agency to issue bonds in the future. There is also proposed emergency
legislation by the Governor to attempt to impair the ability of the agency to issue bonds at this
time. This has been apparently prompted by many agencies issuing bonds and creating other
forms of debt to secure their tax increment base and funding for future projects. It is unknown at
this time what, if any, parts of the Governor's proposals are likely to be adopted.
Staff recommends starting the ground work for potential bond issuance by procuring an
independent fiscal consultant's report. The fiscal consultant's report is generally required to
establish the bonding capacity to support the issuance of tax increment bonds. A tax increment
bond is a bond.or financial obligation issued by the agency in order to generate funds to
implement the redevelopment plan. The bond is repaid with tax increment revenues flowing to
the agency.
The fiscal consultant's report will describe the agency, analyze and project the future revenue
stream, analyze pass`through obligations, review the underlying property assessment data and,
with staff s assistance, project the timing and type of future growth in assessed values. The
document will be a reference and fiscal documentation of the agency for financial analysts,
underwriters, rating agencies and other professionals, as well as Staff.
Staff recommends an amendment to the consulting services contract with RSG (Rosenow
Spevacek Group Inc) to complete the fiscal consultant's report for many reasons: 1) there is
limited time available before the fiscal year end, 2) RSG worked on the redevelopment plan
amendment, and 3) RSG is very familiar with the Agency and has provided annual professional
services for the last eleven years. RSG has produced tax increment computations, pass through
calculations, completed the annual HCD report, RDA state controllers' report, and statement of
indebtedness. If another consultant were to be used to complete the report, they would either
have to recreate much of the data or utilize reports previously prepared by RSG. RSG has agreed
to a reduced price of$20,000 to prepare the report as a contract amendment. The report will be
distributed to the Board on or before the next discussion on whether Agency bonds should be
issued.
FISCAL IlVIPACT:
Appropriation of$20,000 in CRA Debt Service Fund(33)to budgetary account 33-140-250 will
reduce available fund balance reserve by $20,000. Should bonds be issued,the cost of the fiscal
consultant's report would be reimbursed out of bond proceeds.

SUPPLEMENT TO CONSULTING SERVICES CONTRACT
2011 TAX ALLOCATION BONDS-GRAND TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Dear Ms.Adams and Mr. Simon:
Pursuant to your request, RSG has prepared the following scope of services and budget to
prepare a fiscal consultant's report for the purposes of a possible financing involving tax
increment revenue from the Grand Terrace Redevelopment Project Area. It is our
understanding you anticipate bringing this proposal forward to the Agency board in March for
consideration and may authorize us to proceed shortly after approval by the Agency.
RSG has been the Agency's redevelopment consultant since 1999, primarily as an outsourcer
of administrative activities including the preparation of annual reports to the State Controller,
County Auditor Controller and Department of Housing and Community Development, and
computation of annual pass through payments to various taxing agencies. RSG has also
assisted staff with some planning activities associated with the Project Area, including the
Redevelopment Plan amendment last year.
The Agency is contemplating a financing which would require preparation of an independent
and comprehensive fiscal consultant's report. This report would serve to inform underwriters,
rating agencies, bond holders and/or other investors of the potential revenues that may be
pledged for debt service. We have an annual contract of $13,500 to perform reoccurring
functions for the Agency, which is not sufficient or appropriate to do the additional work needed
for an independent and comprehensive fiscal consultant's report. As such, we have prepared
this letter proposal to augment our contract for these additional services.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
RSG will compile and analyze data, project potential Project Area revenues, and prepare a
fiscal consultant's report as outlined below.
1. Collect and analyze 2010-11 parcel-by-parcel assessment roll data for the Project Area
from the San Bernardino County Assessor's office.
2. Prepare a new top ten taxpayers analysis using the 2010-11 secured and unsecured
assessment rolls.
3. Analyze assessed values and resale reassessments by land use category between
2009-10 and 2010-11 in order to discern specific changes in Project Area property
values and project potential changes in assessed values in 2011-12 and beyond.
4. To the extent data is available, evaluate foreclosures and bank-owned properties in the
Project Area and their impact on tax increment revenues.
5. Study Teeter Plan or delinquency data for the County and Project Area to discern trends
in receipts for the Project Area.
6. Update historical assessed values and tax increment receipts based on records from the
County Auditor-Controller's office.
7. Collect current data on assessment appeals for the past two years, including obtaining
any updates on any top ten taxpayer assessment appeals.
8. Collect and analyze data from City Planning and Building Departments regarding major
construction in the Project.Area issued or finaled since January 1, 2010.
9. Evaluate Agency indebtedness to project repayment of debts that may be senior to any
financing.
10. Update and incorporate the above information in a projection of tax increment revenues
and prepare the necessary modifications to the fiscal consultant's report.
RSG would provide to the financing team a draft of our report approximately 21 days after
receipt of written authorization to proceed from the Agency. We estimate this timeframe is
realistic given the number of data pieces that must be compiled from City and County officials.
FEE QUOTE
RSG proposes to conduct the work required for the fiscal consultant report update for a fixed fee
of$20,000. RSG is willing to postpone payment of fees until the time of bond closing; however,

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011 Council Item("X ) CRA Item (X )
TITLE: Transfer of City-owned property at 12569 Michigan Street to the
Agency's Housing Fund
PRESENTED BY: Joyce Powers, Community and Economic Development Director
RECOMMENDATION: City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Joint Resolution_ approving the sale of
12569 Michigan Street to the Agency and reducing the amount
owed to the.Agency by the General Fund by the sales price of
$132,000.00.
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Grant Deed.
Agency:
1. Adopt the attached Joint Resolution approving the purchase of
12569 Michigan Street from the City for affordable housing
purposes and reducing the General Fund's loan amount by
$132,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
On July 24, 2007, the Council and Agency authorized the sale of Agency-owned property at
12569 Michigan Street to the City for$132,000.00. According to the staff report to the Council,
the parcel had originally been purchased for affordable housing purposes, but staff had since
determined that is was no longer feasible to develop affordable housing due to market
conditions.
The vacant parcel was intended to be used by the City for other uses or City facilities. The sales
price of $132,000.00 ($6.10 per square foot) was based on an appraisal, and a General Fund
appropriation was requested to fund the purchase.
DISCUSSION:
The property is within a Single Family Residential Zoning District, and staff recommends
evaluating the .5 acre parcel for a self-help housing project by a non-profit agency that allows a
buyer to gain equity through service hours. With this type of project, some of the actual
construction is done by volunteers, so development costs are significantly reduced. Although
This concept requires more research and evaluation, staff is recommending that the Council and
CRA AGENDA ITEM NO.
A
Agency considering transferring ownership back to the Agency's Housing Fund for this purpose
at the sales price paid by the City is 2007.
A Joint Resolution of the City and Agency consenting to the property transfer is attached, and
has been reviewed by the City Attorney (Attachment 1). A Grant Deed to transfer title has also
been prepared by staff and reviewed by the City Attorney (Attachment 2). A map of the subject
site is also attached to this report as Attachment 3.
Upon approval of the property transfer, staff would then complete additional due diligence for
site development and return to the Agency to offer a recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
At this time, a portion of the City's debt to the Agency, $300,205.00, is a receivable of the Low
to Moderate Income (20% set aside) Housing Fund. If approved, the transfer would reduce the
loan amount by$132,000.00, to $168,205.00.
After approved reductions in the overall City loan amount by $819,235.00, $267,622.00, and
$132,000.00, the estimated loan amount would then be $3,388,091.00. Staff continues to
evaluate past projects of the City and Agency and will provide any additional information and a
Loan Agreement recommendation within 30 days.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011 Council Item ( ) CRA Item (X )
TITLE: License Agreement for the Sale of Fireworks on Agency Property
PRESENTED BY: Joyce Powers, Community and Economic Development Director
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached License Agreement between the Agency and
American Promotional Events, Inc. to permit the use of Agency
property for the sale of safe and sane fireworks from June 28, 2011
through July 4, 2011.
BACKGROUND:
Property owned by the Agency at 22293 and 22317 Barton Road has been used for many years
for the sale of safe and sane fireworks to benefit the Little League and Soccer.League. American
- Promotional Events, Inc..(TNT Fireworks) assumes liability on behalf of the leagues and sets up
the site for fireworks sales and on-site parking.
In April 2010, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 249 establishing a "No Fireworks Safety
Zone" within which the discharge of safe and sane fireworks would be prohibited. The
boundaries of the safety zone were established based on the General Plan's "Very High Fire
Hazard Safety Zone" provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
(CALFIRE). The Ordinance and map are attached as Attachment 2.
The citizens of Grand Terrace voted in November 2010 to continue allowing the sale of safe and
sane fireworks within the City, and their discharge outside of the Safety Zone.
DISCUSSION:
American Promotional Events is again requesting the use of the Agency property on Barton
Road near Canal Street to sell fireworks in cooperation with the sports leagues. Staff
recommends approval of the attached License Agreement for use of the property, which does not
actually transfer a possessory interest in the property. The Agreement has been reviewed by the
City Attorney and the Joint Powers Insurance Authority, and signed by American Promotional
Events.
The primary terms of the License Agreement are as follows:
CRA AGENDA ITEM NO. .
1
1. The License becomes effective on June 1, 2011 to allow time to clear any nuisance
vegetation, at the Licensee's cost, before the use is established.
2. Safe and sane fireworks may be sold from the site beginning on June 28, 2011, through
9:00 pm on July 4, 2011. The License terminates on July 7, 2011, allowing three days for
clean up and any necessary rehabilitation,of the property.
3. The License fee is $1.00; and a cleanup deposit of $1,000.00 is due by May 27, 2011.
The deposit would be returned upon clearance by the City Manager or her designee.
4. The Agreement requires compliance with all laws and ordinances, including those of the
County Fire Department and the State Fire Marshall.
5. . Insurance requirements are included as Section 16.
American Promotional Events, Inc. has provided the properly endorsed insurance certificate,
which is on file. Staff is also reviewing their proposed site plan under a regular Land Use
Application, which provides up to 40 parking spaces on site. The company and league
volunteers have consistently controlled customer parking and cleaned the area well after July 4`t'.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no fiscal impact associated with this action other than staff time. The
recommended fee to use the property has been kept minimal to provide support to the sports
teams. Sales tax collected by the City is 1% of the sales, and the land use application fees total
$100.00.

Coverage that the volunteers have when they are out in the community or setting up the EOC
and questioned what their liability is. She stated that if Council sees items in the Committee
Minutes that they would like to take action on they can always ask that it be placed on a
future Council Agenda for Council action. She stated that there is a rumor going around that
during the winter storm the COP's were called to Loma Linda. She doesn't believe this to
be true,most of the Citizen's on Patrol from Grand Terrace were at work or unavailable.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Gene Hays,reported that he received an e-mail regarding a concern that the
new high school would be environmentally sound for the students. He.was made aware of
a report that said that the environment was ok for now in terms of the contractors building
the school,however,the concern is what happens 10 years down the line when the students
are attending the school and the environment isn't safe. He questioned what the City is doing
to ensure that the environment is safe at the high school site going into the future.
Mayor Pro Tem Lee Ann Garcia, stated that she received the same e-mail and after making
some phone calls and talking to staff, she stated the area in question is at Main Street and
Taylor. She questioned staff as to how the City can give assurance to the community that
whatever is built on that site will be an appropriate use that keeps the restrictions. She
requested that staff give an update on this issue.
Community and Economic Development Director Joyce Powers,stated that the Planning
Department has been tracking this site for quite some time. She stated that the operations
of K&J Plating at the corner of Main Street ceased in 1995/96. At that time their clean up
was under the control of the State,the Department of Toxic Substances Control. They took
over the site and they started with the remediation but were not able to complete it. They
stopped in 2002 due to financial concerns. She feels that the main reason for the concern in
the community is that it went. unaddressed and unattended for 6 years before K & N
Engineering came into play and restarted the clean-up process because they had hoped to
utilize the property in the future for development. The contamination at the,K & J site is
right at the plating building site. That is the reason that the foundation still exists at the site,
to prevent any water from permeating the surface and maybe taking some of the
contamination into the ground water. They have worked with DTSC over a period of years
and the City has on file copies of their supplemental plan that they are required to submit
requesting review by the State as well as the letters in response. As of last month,the State
closed the site with regard to the soil remediation. They are still requesting a remedial action
plan with regard to maintaining a ground level surface that would prevent any water from
going through the site. That could be anything from the existing foundation to paving the
site completely. They have directed K&N Engineering to submit a plan indicating how they
will seal the entire site and also into the future their plant needs to show that if there are any
cracks in the surface how they.will ensure that the water can't permeate. DTSC will

eventually record a land use covenant against the property so certain uses can not be
developed at the site. The uses that will be allowed there are commerciaUIndustrial as long
as there is no irrigation. The uses that they suggested in their January letter consisted of
modular units for the-school and a parking area. They were required to submit an outline of
their plan to DTSC in February and they did meet that. The actual plan itself is due April 1,
2011. She keeps in contact with their project manager. 1
Bernardo Sandoval,stated that there is a level of frustration from the School District that the 'f
City sold them that piece of land because of the toxins..
i
Councilmember Darcy McNaboe,stated that at the last Council Meeting the issue of opening j
Pigeon Pass Road sometime in the future came up. There was also mention that Barney
Barnett wrote a letter on behalf of the Highgrove MAC suggesting that Main Street would
be a better alternative thoroughfare instead of Center. She stated that she did a follow-up call
to Barney to get some background as to why he would choose one versus the other. During
the course of their conversation he indicated that he had been speaking to the Riverside
County Transportation Department Director,Juan Perez. Mr Perez has indicated that there
are two other alternatives and one of them would be Palmerita and the other is Spring. Mr.
Barnett indicated,that given the two he did have his reasons for Main and Center but now that
there are the two alternatives he would actually encourage the County to use Palmerita as the
thoroughfare. He also stated that he hopes that representatives from Grand Terrace and the
Highgrove MAC can meet with Juan Perez sometime in the future.
i
Mayor Walt Stanckiewitz, reported that he spoke to representatives from SANBAG
specifically about that corridor project coming back to life. They were not aware of it and
now some investigations will be made and he will be meeting with them to get an update on
what is going on from San Bernardino County's perspective. It looks like they are going
through the environmental impact reports and the scoping right now. All of the documents
that he has seen doesn't have a start date. The City is going to get involved to ensure that the
interests of Grand Terrace are protected and don't end up with all of that traffic in town.
Mayor Pro Tem Lee Ann Garcia, reported that in City Hall there are a couple of bulletin
boards that showcase the Sheriff s Department Personnel and The Fire Department Personnel
and she would like to see pictures of the City Committees displayed with the staff liasion.
She feels that it is important to recognize the volunteers of the community. She requested
that staff look into it. She thanked Community and Economic Development Director Powers
for her follow-up last week on the K&J Plating site. She indicated that when she was told
that it was going to be on the School Board Agenda she went to their site and also found out
that Terrace View will be expanding the parking and shade structure and requested an update
from Staff.
i
Community and Economic Development Director Powers,responded that it involved one of

the original plans when the Council asked the School District to do something about the
parking on Grand Terrace Road. One of the things that was talked about was whether or not
the existing parking lot could be reconfigured to provide more spaces or a parent drive thru
turn around area. What was on the agenda was an approval of a design contract with an
engineering firm to do that. Staff is estimating that they may be able to add about 25 more
parking spaces on site. The construction will occur during the summer months when school
is closed.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, stated that on the CJUSD website they have a newsletter on the
Titans but if you want to know more information you can go to facilities construction and
click on the CIP and you can visit projects by school site. Grand Terrace is the last one on
the list.
Councilmember Bernardo Sandoval, feels that it would be helpful to hold a joint meeting
with the CJUSD Board so that we are all on the same page with the different issues. He
stated that he is an IT professional and wanted residents to know that he is using his lap top
during the meetings for note taking purposes only. He reported that Jerry Brown had a
meeting with the 10 biggest Cities in California. The entire Inland Empire was left out of
this meeting based on population sizes. However,we have some of the biggest and strongest
economy in the State. There is an intent to make sure that the Governor hears from the
Inland Empire and the impact the Redevelopment Agencies will have from the Inland
Empire.
Mayor Stanckiewitz,again encouraged everyone to see the Performance of Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory that is being done by the students at Terrace View. He reported that
the Walk on Blue Mountain will be held on Sunday, March 13, 2011.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: . March 8, 2011 Council Item (X) CRA Item ()
TITLE: Resolution in Support of the Southern California Association .of
Governments' "Business Friendly Principles".
PRESENTED BY: Joyce Powers, Community and Economic Development Director
RECOMMENDATIONS: Adopt the attached City Council Resolution in support of the
Southern California Association of Governments' "Business
Friendly Principles."
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace is a member agency of the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG). A metropolitan planning organization representing six (6) counties, 190
cities and more than 19 million residents, SCAG coordinates a number of planning and policy
initiatives related to Southern California transportation and land-use planning.
In May, 2010, the SCAG General Assembly discussed the need for a concerted effort to reduce
impediments to creating jobs and stimulating economic investments through incentives. SCAG
staff was directed to prepare a Southern California Economic Growth Strategy and they are
proceeding with that effort. The Southern California Road to Economic Recovery Summit was
held on December 2, 2010. At this summit the Governor, State legislative leaders, the Regional
Council, cities, counties and business leaders discussed working together in the next year to
remove State-related economic impediments to economic growth. SCAG has asked all member
agencies to adopt the attached resolution supporting "Business Friendly Principles" to
demonstrate Southern California's commitment to this effort.
DISCUSSION:
SCAG recognizes that many .local jurisdictions are already following the "Business Friendly
Principles" outlined in the proposed resolution as part of their regular economic development
practices. Having the member agencies adopt the resolution in support of the Southern
California Road to Economic Recovery Summit is intended to demonstrate to state leaders that
the SCAG municipalities are serious about working together in the next legislative session to
find ways together to increase economic growth. The principles included in the proposed
resolution include the following:
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO.
• Demonstrating commitment to economic development as a priority.
• Providing quality municipal services to attract and retain businesses.
• Communicating .effectively with businesses, including- processes to increase
responsiveness to businesses seeking or doing business within the City.
• Striving to streamline operations for efficient and responsive business assistance
and seeking to improve City attractiveness to new and existing businesses.
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution in support of the region's "Business Friendly
Principles".
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Resolution other than staff time.
Any subsequent program requests would be presented to the City Council separately.
