AGENDA ITEM
SUBJECT: MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS -FY 06-07
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
The Agency Board passed the FY 2006-2007 Budget on May 25, 2006. From July 1, 2006:
through December 31, 2006. no appropriation or revenue adjustments were brought to the
Board.
As listed on Attachment 1, we received proceeds from the Colton Joint Unified School District
for the sale of property for the high school. This revenue needs to be included in the current year
estimates since at the time of budget adoption in May we had assumed it would be received prior
to June 30. 2006, and therefore it was not included in the current year budget.
Also on this attachment we have included final cost to the Agency for the 48 inch water line
relocation project and the final amount to be reimbursed to the Agency for the school district
share of this project.
A 6 month fund balance analysis is also attached. The 3 redevelopment funds are shown last,
after the city funds. The Project Fund's projected ending deficit will be addressed during the
upcoming budget process for FY07-08, and it will be eliminated by temporary interfund loans
until additional agency land is sold for development. The construction phase of the senior
housing project will continue into the next fiscal year so it is unlikely that the Housing Fund
appropriations will be spent as originally budgeted by June 30, 2007.
Staff Recommends that the Agency Board:
APPROVE THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FY06-07 AGENCY BUDGET
AS PRESENTED BY STAFF ON ATTACHMENT 1.

Date: February 5, 2007
FY06-07 Revenue Adjustments:
32-600-15, Sale of High School Site Property - $2,830,921
We had originally planned to receive this revenue in the last fiscal year, but it was still
being negotiated as of year end. We therefore will adjust the current fiscal revenue
estimate for this amount that was received from the Colton Joint Unifies School District
in January 2007.
FY06-07 Appropriations Adjustments:
32-600-205, Outdoor Adventures Center—$934,657
Total fiscal year shared cost for construction and en2ineerin2 for the 48 inch Water
Supply Line Relocation. y
32-600-208, High School Site - $934,657 less $789,371 CJUSD Reimbursement
Net Agency cost applied to the school site account after school district reimbursement as
shown is $145,286.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Herman Hilkey,23196 Glendora Drive,stated that he received a copy of Street Smart,which
is a SANBAG report that comes out once a month. It has a priority list for Proposition 1 B,
L� the new Bond Money we as Californians passed last November. He stated that SANBAG
is the spending agent for the County of this Bond Money and that Grand Terrace has a
representative that serves on this body. SANBAG has developed a priority list for the
spending of 1 B and in reviewing the finalized list he is deeply concerned with what he saw.
The 1215 South through Grand Terrace, Colton and Northern parts of Riverside County did
not make the list. What replaced it are projects that were not even on anyone's mind when
Measure I was passed years ago. The things that have replaced it are off ramps in
Bloomington and Fontana, widening of the I10 through Yucaipa, widening on the I15 in
Victorville,and enhancing the I210 that was just barely built and hasn't been completed. For
some reasons those projects have bumped the South I215 in priority . This impact on 1215
burdens Grand Terrace daily with the traffic that comes down Barton Road and it is tearing
up our roads. SANBAG offered the City the sequencing of Traffic Lights years ago and that
still is being delayed and apparently is non existent on the list. He urged the Council,when
choosing the SANBAG Representative,to choose a strong aggressive person that is clear of
focus and will put the City above their own political and social agenda.
RA `Barney" Barnett, 474 Prospect Avenue, Highgrove, indicated that the RCTC
Commissioners have voted down the Highgrove Metrolink Station. He wanted to inform
everyone that this project is far too important,not just for the Highgrove and Grand Terrace
area but the entire region, and that they will continue to pursue different avenues, if
necessary, to make everyone aware that this is not going to be forgotten because of a set-
back. They are very disappointed that the RCTC staff was able to convince their RCTC
Commissioners to vote to decline this project just eight days before SANBAG was scheduled
to meet and discuss this very item. On January 1, 2006 the SANBAG Chairman publicly
stated in the Sun Telegram that it was a good objective to do this project in Highgrove and
that he was willing to sit down and talk with RCTC. They will continue to try to get both
agencies to cooperate for the benefit of the entire region.
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that fairly recently the Council passed an
Ordinance regarding charging yearly fees on rental properties in the City. She is discovering
that there are some large problems with the Ordinance as it is written. She would like to see
the Ordinance changed or thrown out. It refers to rental/non-owner occupied property,this
means that if your parents are living in their own home and their home is in a trust they are
being told by the City that they are not the legal owner. Then the person has to come in and
argue. If someone owns more than one property they may not be renting it out and she feels
that no one from the City has the right to invade the privacy of the residents of this City. City

Staff is mis using this Ordinance and in her opinion outright harassing people. It has to stop.
This was mainly suppose to be on rental properties for an inspection, which we know is a
joke. This City doesn't even enforce the Business Licenses and she finds it very offensive
to have people in this community being treated like this. She feels that if she has family
members living in her home it is not a rental unit and she feels that the Ordinance needs to
be rewritten.
City Manager Schwab, stated that there is one particular issue regarding the non-owner
occupied vacant residence that he has heard of recently and staff will take a look at the
Ordinance as written and report back to Council and if Council wants to consider changing
the Ordinance they can.

CC-2007-10 MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CORTES,SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCHANAN, CARRIED 5-0, to accept the December 4, 2006 Minutes of the
Historical and Cultural Activities Committee.
5B. Council Reports
Councilmember Cortes, stated that at the last meeting Mayor Ferre requested that she turn
in a report regarding a meeting that was going to be held between RCTC and SANBAG and
as the representative for SANBAG she is the Board representative, however, she does not
sit on the Commuter Rail and she knows that Mayor Pro Tem Garcia will be making some
comments regarding this. She indicated that Tony Grasso, Executive Director, from
SANBAG will give a report.
Tony Grasso. Executive Director of SANBAG, reported that SANBAG has had many
opportunities where individuals representing the interest ofthe Highgrove Station have come
to talk to SANBAG and they referred that item to a Policy Committee, the Commuter Rail
Committee,which met on January 18, 2007. At that time Staffs recommendation was not
to financially participate in the Highgrove Station and the action at that time was to table it
until the next Commuter Rail Meeting,which is in March. At the time the agenda item was
written they did not know what the action of RCTC would be. The concern that they have
and the difference between the two County Transportation Commissions is that in Riverside
County their Metrolink Stations are built owned and operated by RCTC in San Bernardino
County,SANBAG has cooperative agreeirents with each ofthe jurisdictions for construction

and maintenance and after two years turn the maintenance over to the City. Without any
financial resources for that opportunity, they either contemplated in this years budget or in
the rail movements for the continuance of Measure I. Staff was compelled to financially
come up with that report. The Board will take action from the recommendation of the
Commuter Rail/Policy Committee. It won't happen until the April Meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, she would like to see the planning to continue and to consider other
options. She thanked Gene Carlstrom and Hugh Grant for giving to the community long
after they have been in office. She reported that she attended the Grand Terrace Area
Chamber of Commerce State of the City,which was presented by Mayor Ferre. She talked
a lot about the heart and caring and warmth of the community and things that are coming up.
She reported that on Saturday she and the Mayor attended the Business of the Month, the
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the new dance studio and the new tax business. She thanked
all of the volunteers of the Chamber of Commerce that give so much of their time. She

he has been a supporter of a Metrolink Station in Highgrove and that he has attended some
of the meetings. He expressed his concern that nothing is happening on the 1215 Freeway.
He feels that when RCTC denied the idea of a Metrolink Station in Highgrove they weren't
looking at the whole picture and that they were only looking at Riverside and not regionally
and he is concerned that SANBAG will do the same. He would like to see both of the
Boards have discussion on it. He thanked all the members of the Community who gave an
outpouring of clothing and money to the victims of the Crest Fire. He requested that the
Council Meeting be adjourned in memory of Kyle Bacon.

CITY CLERK'S DEPARTMENT
The meeting was called to-order at 7:15 p.m. by Chairman Pauline Grant. Those present were
Pauline Grant, Tracey Martinez, Shelly Rosenkild, Gloria Ybarra, Arun Petta, Colleen Edmundson
and Masako Gifford.
Secretary's Report:The Minutes for December 4,2006 were read and approved on a motion by Ann,
seconded by Colleen. Motion carried.
Treasurer's Report: The budget shows a balance of$1,061.94. Petty Cash balance is $100.
Gloria presented Colleen with a receipt for$7.80 for postage. Colleen will reimburse Pauline for
the balance of the purchase of the turkey breasts, which totaled $60.72, at a later date.
Historical Report: As was mentioned in the minutes of December 4, 2006, Ann learned that in
talking to Dave Cooley, he indicated that he has some boxes of miscellaneous farm equipment he
would like to donate for historical purposes. Due to lack of storage space for the boxes, the
committee decided that it would be best to acquire something else from the Cooley family at a later
date.
Old Business: Report on Anniversary Potluck - The Committee agreed that the Potluck went very
well and that public feedback was excellent. There was plenty of food, especially desserts. Pauline
advised that people particularly admired the color scheme as well as the decorations.
Our members unanimously agreed that coming in at 10:00 a.m.the morning of the Potluck was key
in allowing enough time to finish the majority of the decorating as coming in the afternoon would
not have allowed enough time to finish decorating before the Potluck. Therefore,a motion was made
by Ann for the committee to come in at 10:00 a.m. the morning of the Potluck next year, Shelly
seconded, the committee approved. Motion carried.
Ann reported that plenty of leftovers were given to the Firemen in appreciation for all their help in
cleaning up after the program. They were extremely helpful and very much appreciated.
Pauline advised that a comment was made indicating that the main focus of the program leaned more
to the Toastmasters instead of the Potluck. It was suggested, during discussion at our meeting,that
perhaps at some time someone could mention that an organization is traditionally honored at the
potluck in order to somehow tie the potluck and the organization together. Discussion followed.
No decision was made.
Corrections, changes, comments or additions for the 2007 Anniversary Potluck were as follows:
1. The committee agreed that the candy used in the decorations this year be purchased again
next year. This is an inexpensive and effective way to decorate and that three bags are
sufficient.
2. Ann donated miscellaneous ribbons to be used for decorating as needed. Shelly accepted the
donation.
3. New table cloths were purchased to replace the old table cloths.
4. Preferably four boneless turkey breasts be purchased next year as they are less expensive,
easier to carve and take less time to cook.
5. The ham, ice, bread, butter,punch and three gallons of water were sufficient.
6. The table set-up for approximately 110 people worked out very well.
New Business: Calendar for the Year 2007: The committee agreed on the following dates for the
2007 calendar:
Art Show - May 6, 2007
Country Fair-November 3, 2007
Anniversary Potluck - December 11, 2007
Please note that the Potluck falls on a Tuesday and not on a Thursday in order to coincide the
Potluck with the City Council meeting.
Art Show, May 6, 2007: Ann indicated that the cable/advertising should go in as soon as possible
and that the applications be in by March/April. Shelly will tend to the advertisements/applications.
Shelly will check on the Art Show signs.
Update on Committee Pins: The pins with magnets have been ordered, but have not come in yet.
Approximately four pins were ordered.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. The next meeting will be February 5, 2007.

SUBJECT:UPDATE THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN TO INCLUDE
THE CITIZEN CORPS PROGRAM ANNEX AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING THE GRAND TERRACE CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL
NO FUNDING REQUIRED
During the 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush announced the
creation of the USA Freedom Corps, a call to service for every American. Citizen
Corps is the component of the USA Freedom Corps that encompasses public education,
training, and volunteer opportunities to engage all citizens in helping to make their
communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling terrorism,
and disasters of all kinds.
Citizen Corps Program proposes to bring together leaders from law enforcement, fire
�-' services, emergency medical services, emergency management, volunteer
organizations, the private sector, as well as local elected officials to form Citizen Corps •
Councils. These councils will provide oversight for engaging citizens in emergency
planning and response, homeland security, promoting family preparedness and safety
through public education and outreach, training opportunities, and volunteer programs.
In order to apply for grant funding from FEMA and Homeland Security, the city
had to update its Emergency Operation Plan with the attached Citizen's Corp
Annex and a resolution establishing a Citizen's Corps Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends:
• Approve Resolution establishing a Grand Terrace Citizen's Corps Council
• Include in the Grand Terrace Emergency Operations Plan the attached
City Corp Annex and the Table of Contents.

City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
1. INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE AND SCOPE
A. INTRODUCTION
During the 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush announced the
creation of the USA Freedom Corps, a call,to service for every American. Citizen Corps
is the component of the USA Freedom Corps that encompasses public education,
training, and volunteer opportunities to engage all citizens in helping to make their
communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling terrorism,
and disasters of all kinds.
Citizen Corps Program proposes to bring together leaders from law enforcement, fire
services, emergency medical services, emergency management, volunteer organizations,
the private sector, as well as local elected officials to form Citizen Corps Councils. These
councils will provide oversight for engaging citizens in emergency planning and
response, homeland security, promoting family preparedness and safety through public
education and outreach, training opportunities, and volunteer programs.
Citizen Corps Programs are sponsored by the Department of Justice, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), and the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS). The Bush Administration and FEMA initiated the program for 2002.
The primary- California Agencies involved are the California Service Corps, The
Governor's Office of Emergency Services ( State OES), the Emergency Medical Services
Authority, and the Attorney General's Office.
All citizens are encouraged to become involved in one of the five Citizen Corps
Programs. However, they need to be careful of how many disaster programs they
crossover with. An allegiance needs to be made to a particular program to make sure
there is no confusion when they respond to a disaster.
B. PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this Annex is to provide a document that outlines and defines a
standardized approach and structure for creating Citizen Corps Councils in the City of
Grand Terrace. This will help to ensure citizen participation within a community by
coordinating Citizen Corps Programs, identifying volunteer opportunities to support local
law enforcement, fire services and other emergency response .personnel, and specifying
local resources to support Citizen Corps.
C. SCOPE
Citizen Corps was designed to engage every American in community and family safety
programs as a way to prepare people in advance for emergencies, natural disasters, and
acts of ten-orisin. By using an integrated, strategic, and comprehensive approach, we can
1
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
effectively utilize the time, talents, and interests of volunteers in support of first
responders and overall community preparedness. Prepared citizens in service are a
powerful resource and are better able to respond quickly and effectively in any
emergency.
The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) governs emergency response
statewide and is the backbone of California's disaster planning and response system
(Govenu-nent, Code § 8607). Developed in the early 1990s, SEMS is a statutory
requirement and is mandated for all State agencies. Local governments and special
districts must use SEMS in order to receive reimbursement for response-related
personnel costs. The federal government also recognizes SEMS principles when
participating in emergency response and planning activities within California.
SEMS is the structure through which all coordination and resource allocation takes place
through the multiple levels of support: field, local government, Operational Area
(County), region, and State. Whenever the challenges of an emergency exceed the
capacity of one level, assistance is requested from the next level above.
D. MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Citizen Corps is to harness the power of every individual through
education, training, and volunteer service to.make communities safer, stronger, and better
prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters
of all kinds.
E. NATIONAL CITIZEN CORPS PROGRAMS
There five components to the Citizen Corps Program are
1. Programs
• Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
• Neighborhood Watch Program
• Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS)
• Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)
• Fire Corps
2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
A. PLANNING GUIDE FOR CITIZEN CORPS PROGRAMS
The Citizen Corps Program Planning Guide is to be used as a quick reference for
determining whether the Citizen Corps Program addresses the required elements.
Jurisdictions may jeopardize eligibility for grant funding if they do not comply with the
criteria set forth in this document.
2
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
Plans must reflect the needs of the jurisdiction, particularly in the areas that will likely
impact them and their capabilities where it is recognized that jurisdictional differences
will exist. This guide should be used in developing your programs.

3. CITIZEN CORPS COUNCILS
A. INTRODUCTION
The Citizen Corps Councils will bring together leaders from the relevant sectors of the
County comiunities to coordinate the Citizen Corps effort. The purpose of the Citizen
Corps Councils is to have all decision makers at the table to manage existing volunteer
resources, to leverage mutually supportive endeavors among the represented groups, and
to direct the overall local plans to implement Citizen Corps in the community. All
Citizen Corps Council's will be administered by a public safety agency, such as law or
5
C

February 13, 2007
fire. Each County/City/Town will have only one Citizen Corps Council that has the lead
role in implementing Citizen Corps groups within their jurisdictions.
B. COUNCIL CREATIONS
There may be a number of Citizen Corps Councils within an OA. The below sections
outline the establishment, responsibilities and membership of such Citizen Corps
Councils.
1). County Citizens Corps Council
A County Citizen Corps Council will have a membership of unincorporated
communities within San Bernardino County. They will have the responsibility to
provide the OA lead agency with a letter showing the make up of their Citizen Corps
Council. Upon determination by the OA lead agency that the formation has met the
prescribed council membership, they will then submit a resolution from their governing
body. This resolution will be kept on file with the OA, however there could be
extenuating circumstances that may require review on a case-by-case basis. The County
Council will be affiliated with a law or fire agency and will be responsible to report to
the OA.
2) City/Town Citizen Corps Councils
A City/Town may elect to establish a City/Town Citizen Corps Council (City/Town
Council) and will be responsible to provide the OA lead agency with a letter indicating
the make up of their Citizen Corps Council. Upon determination by the OA lead agency
that the City/Town Council formation has met the prescribed council member, they will
then submit a resolution from their governing body. This resolution will be kept on file
with the OA, however there could be extenuating circumstances that may require review
on a case-by-case basis. The City/Town Council will be will be affiliated with a law or
fire agency and will be responsible to report to the OA.
C. MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Below is a listing of Membership hiformation, including Qualifications, Responsibilities,
Leadership, and Council registration.
1) Qualifications
The Citizen Corps Council for each jurisdiction can be an existing group that currently
supports a strong team that brings together sectors of the community, such as an existing
disaster council. Membership could include the following:
• Elected officials such as the mayor, city council members, county supervisors, or
tribal government leaders.
6
`�1
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
• Emergency management from the first responder community: law enforcement, fire,
and emergency medical services and health care providers.
• Volunteers, community service, existing community sub-structure such as advisory
boards, voting districts, wards and the business community.
Participation on the council is making a commitment to educate the pubic on safety, to
help citizens take an active role in protecting themselves from hann, to teach citizens
what to do in the event of a crisis, and to expand volunteer opportunities that will
enhance the communities' preparedness.
2)Responsibilities
While this Annex provides tremendous flexibility to implement Citizen Corps in a way
that best suits individual communities at the City/Town and unincorporated areas, there
are some general responsibilities for the local organizing group that include:
• Create an action plan to involve the community in prevention, preparedness, and
response activities and to mobilize the community in a large-scale event.
• Identify ways in which the community's volunteer resources can help meet the needs
of its first responders.
• Work with existing neighborhood leaders, or creating a neighborhood leadership
structure, to design a systematic approach to educate the public and encourage
Citizen Corps participation throughout the community.
• Spearhead efforts to offer citizens new and existing volunteer opportunities
educational information, and training courses to address crime, terrorism, public
health issues, and natural disaster risks.
• Recognize all activities that promote prevention, preparedness and response training
as a part of Citizen Corps and encourage new endeavors.
• Organize special projects and community events to promote Citizen Corps activities
and recruiting volunteers to participate.
• Foster a spirit of mutual support by working with Citizen Corps Councils in
neighboring communities and jurisdictions to be able to share resource in times of
need.
• Capture innovative practices and reporting accomplishments to the state coordinator
for Citizen Corps.
• Survey communities to assess increased awareness and Citizen Corps participation.
3) Leadership
Leadership within the Council is critical for success. Because of the first responder's
role in the event of an emergency, and because of the law and fire based nature of the
five-core programs of Citizen Corps, it is suggested that first responder representatives
not take the lead role for the council but participate as the liaison back to the Operational
area. It is important that the Citizens Corps Council Chair show strong leadership,
organizational skills and the ability to motivate team members to reach the collective
7 _
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
goal of making their communities a safer place to live, work and play and providing the
opportunity for all citizens to participate.
4) Registration Process
Upon completion of the Council Member Qualifications section above, log on to
www.citizenscorps.gov/ccorps and register your Citizen Corps Council information by
clicking on the registration link. Upon access to the Council registration web page,
answer the template questions. This will include a name for your council, the name, title,
phone number, and e-mail address of a local official that supports the creation of a
Citizen Corps council; this could be the mayor, City/Town manager, county supervisor,
or emergency management director.
The second part of the template addresses the Council point of contact (POC). This
person is the point of contact for Citizen Corps in your community. You will notice that
more information about this person is required. This person will receive information
from state and federal partners and whose name and e-mail address will be posted on the
Citizen Corps website. You may wish to create a generic e-mail address so that all
information feeds in to one point. Once you have completed the registration template,
press the Submit button.
Upon receipt, FEMA will notify the State of California Governor's Office California
Service Corps (CSC). The CSC staff will then contact the OA of the registering
jurisdiction to verify the authenticity of the Citizen Corps council registration request.
The OA will either verify or deny the registration.
Once the verification of the registration is approved by the OA, the CSC staff will be
notified and they will advise FEMA to post the Citizen Corps council to the FEMA
website. It is the responsibility of the registering agency to check the FEMA website at
www.fema.Qov to see if the council is posted.
4. CITIZEN CORPS PROGRAMS
OVERVIEW
Only the CERT program has been addressed with funding or direction from FEMA, or
from the California Service Corps. The other Programs (Neighborhood Watch, VIP and
MRC) are listed as possible future funded programs. All components of the Citizen
Corps Program are optional considerations and at the discretion of each
jurisdiction.
A. COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM(CERT)
8
�2
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
The CERT program provides training in emergency preparedness and in basic response
techniques to local trainers who in turn train citizens, enabling them to take a more active
role in personal and public safety.
1) Specific goals
To enable neighborhood or workplace teams to prepare for and respond effectively to an
event until professional responders arrive. Provide a link between neighborhood,
workplace teams, and professional responders. (http://training.fema.gov/emiweb/CERT�
2) CERT Standards and Protocols
The best source of help in an emergency or disaster is the paid or volunteer professional
responder. But, if they are not available to address immediate life-saving needs or to
protect property, CERT members can help. CERT is not intended to replace a
community's response capability, but rather, to serve as an important supplement,
The agency sponsoring the CERT program is creating a volunteer resource that is part of
the community's operational capability following a disaster. That agency should develop
training standards for CERT personnel and protocols for their activation and use.
CERT members must keep their safety in mind as their first priority. CERT volunteers-
must know their capabilities and the limitations of their training and equipment, and
work within those limitations.
When deployed appropriately, however, CERT can complement and enhance first-
response capability in neighborhoods and workplaces by ensuring the safety of
themselves and their families working outward to the neighborhood, office, and beyond
until first responders arrive. CERT can then assist first-response personnel as directed
1<

CERT Units Do Not:
• Suppress large fires.
• Enter structures that they consider heavily damaged and dangerous (e.g., leaning or
moved from foundation.).
• Perform medical, fire, or search and rescue operations beyond their level of training.
• Perfonn hazardous materials cleanup or respond to incidents involving radiological,
chemical, or biological agents.
9

City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
3) Eligibility Requirements
Jurisdictional citizens may choose to be part of a CERT group as long as they have a
willingness to care about fellow citizens and be able to build relationships and cooperate
with first responders.
4) Training
Existing CERT Train the Trainers and OA trained personnel will provide training. All
training classes will be based on the FEMA twenty (20) hour Certified Course with
allowable modifications when necessary.
5) Identification Cards
Identification (ID) cards will be issued to CERT members that have been trained by a
certified Citizen Corps CERT trainer. This ID card must be worn when responding to an
emergency. The ID card must be in clear view, whether on a lanyard or in a view pocket
on a CERT vest, to be allowed at an emergency site.
B. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program currently under the auspices of the
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, which enlists the active participation of
citizens in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime in their communities. For
over thirty (30) years, the Neighborhood Watch Program has successfully kept people
safe in their homes and neighborhoods throughout the nation. By bringing together local
officials, law enforcement and citizens, Neighborhood Watch engages public and private
community members in the conunon cause of public safety.
1)Eligibility Requirements
First responders (such as Fire,. Law and Medical personnel) cannot be on every coiner, so
citizen involvement is essential to combat crime. Neighborhood Watch members place
stickers in their windows and post Neighborhood Watch signs on streets, warning
criminals that they are in an active Neighborhood Watch Community.
The foundation for creating and maintaining neighborhood crime prevention groups
(Neighborhood Watch) is based on the assumption that a group of people in the
neighborhood can come together to reestablish informal control, and can thereby increase
the quality of life and reduce the crime rate in the neighborhood.
Anyone can be part of a Neighborhood Watch Program as long as they have a
willingness to get to know and care about their neighbors and build relationships and
cooperation between law enforcement officers and residents.
2) Getting Started
10
I�
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
a) Contact our local law enforcement agency — San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department
• Explain that you would like to start a Neighborhood Watch group and ask for
assistance.
• Get help from their crime prevention unit. Crime prevention officers or specialists
can help organize the initial meeting.
• Ask about the crime condition in your neighborhood.
• Ask to have law enforcement at your first meeting.
b) Talk to your neighbors
• Canvass your neighborhood for interest.
• Discuss crime problems in your area, using information provided by the local law
enforcement agency.
• Explain the value of the Neighborhood Watch Program.
• Ask about convenient times to schedule your Neighborhood Watch Meeting.
c) Be sure to mention
• Neighborhood Watch does not require frequent meetings.
• It does not ask anyone to take personal risks.
• Law enforcement will attend your first meeting to answer questions about crime in
the community and how law enforcement works in your area.
• Neighborhood Watch leaves the responsibility for apprehending criminals where it
belongs-with law enforcement.
d) Hold the first meeting
• Introduce everyone,provide name tags if needed.
• Provide opening remarks.
• You want to provide a relaxed atmosphere, provide simple refreshments such as
coffee and cookies.
• Ask your law officials to cover the following topics:
• Its crime prevention programs and policies.
• Particular crimes in the local area.
• How to obtain Neighborhood Watch Sims.
• Effective crime prevention techniques for home and office.
• How citizen's can become "eyes and ears" and help them in their investigation
of crimes.
• How to report a crime: What to look for; how to describe the person, vehicle or
activity; and other information that will help solve the problem.
e) Block Captain Role
• Be a spokesperson for the group.
• Serve as the liaison between law enforcement and your Neighborhood Watch
group to organize and arrange Neighborhood Watch meetings. Recruit neighbors
to host meetings.
11
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
• Maintain a list of members.
• Designate work assignments such as:
• New members
• Vacation House watch
• Block parents
• Neighborhood patrol
• Fund Raising
• Secretarial duties
• Develop and maintain block maps.
• Materials Distribution
Remember to report crimes to law enforcement first then to their Block Captains so he
or she can alert other neighbors of the problem.
It is wise to rotate the Block Captain position on a regularly scheduled basis.
However always notify law enforcement of the Block Captain change.
f) Develop and Distribute Maps
Maps will help give members of law enforcement precise information when reporting
suspicious activity in your neighborhood. The map should:
• Identify the Block Captain/Coordinator.
• Clearly, identify streets, cross-streets, and compass points.
• Show name, address, and phone numbers of each home and identify those that
have burglar alanns.
• Identify senior citizens and/ or neighbors with health problems and special needs.
• List the make, model, year, and license number of the vehicles at each home.
Identify those that are there during the daytime hours.
• Include emergency numbers of Police/Sheriff/Fire along with Refuse Company,
Street Department, and Water Department.
• Update and redistribute new information to all members.
g) Knowing more about your neighbors, their vehicles and their daily routine will help
you recognize unusual or suspicious activities.
• Consider exchanging the following type of information with your neighbors:
• Home and work numbers
• Number, ages, and names of family members or residents
• Work hours
• School or day care hours of children
• Who owns dogs
• Planned vacations or visitors
• Scheduled deliveries
h) Maintaining a Neighborhood Watch Program
When Neighborhood Watch Network is underway, be sure that everyone understands
and observes the following guidelines:
12
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
• Be alert to unusual or suspicious behavior in your neighborhood. Call authorities
if warranted. Write down the descriptions of person(s), vehicles, and license
numbers.
• Advise your neighbors if your house will be unoccupied for an extended time.
Provide infonnation on how to reach you in an emergency.
• Look after your neighbor's home while they are away and ask them to look after
yours. This includes picking up the newspapers, returning the trashcans from the
street. Do not leave signals that indicate no one is home.
• Attend Neighborhood Watch Programs meetings and above all get involved. It is
the most effective way to prevent crime and make sure your neighbor is safe.
• Remember the job of a neighborhood watch member is to report crimes not to
attempt to apprehend criminals. Let the law enforcement community handle that
responsibility.
i) Program Activities
Keeping a Neighborhood Watch program active is by getting everyone involved, this
will create a feeling of pride and the atmosphere of a small town, even in a large city.
Neighborhood Watch can easily be adapted to meet the needs wherever you live. This
includes the creation of special apartment complex programs.
Active Neighborhood Watch groups can make changes through their local officials,
such as improving street lighting, and changing traffic flow patterns. Active
apartment or multi-family dwelling groups can make changes by working with their
landlords or building managers. They can work together to change lighting and
r� security of each individual unit as well as communal areas and assist in developing
policy to improve property security.
Make belonging to the Neighborhood Watch Program enjoyable. Make the meetings
fun as well as meaningful. Use you imagination. Schedule potluck dinners, organize
clean up campaigns or hold block parties. Keep members involved and do not over
burden any one person.
i) Home and Multi-Dwelling Unit Security
• Ask the local law enforcement agency to assist with "home security surveys" for
individual residences as well as apartment and multi-unit dwelling.
• Invite an officer to speak to the Neighborhood Watch group about security in the
home or multi-dwelling unit enviromnent.
• Learn how to secure your home with:
• Effective door and window locks
• Adequate exterior lighting
• Security habits
• Landscaping
• Alarm system
k) Property Identification
_ 13
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
The identification program encourages homeowners to mark their property to make it
easier to identify if stolen. The program provides window decals as a warning to
burglars:
• Purchase an electric engraver that members of your Neighborhood Watch group
can use to mark items such as televisions, computers, and stereos. Encourage
residents to engrave their drivers license number preceded by "CA" on personal
property. Note: Do not use social security numbers.
• Encourage residents to make a list of their firearms, personal computer(s) and
other electronic equipment along with their serial and model numbers. Keep the
list in a safe place such as the freezer or a safety deposit box.
• Photograph items such as jewelry. For larger items, use a video camera to record
ownership.
1) Develop a "Block Parent" system
• Identify the home that children can go to when they need assistance and their own
parents are not home.
• Place signs in windows of selected houses so that children can find them easily.
• Ask parents to introduce their children to these "block parents" before
emergencies arise.
m)Bicycle Safety
• Hold a "bike rodeo'within your neighborhood. Conclude the event with a bicycle
security and safety program.
• Encourage all to license their bicycles with a local law enforcement agency.
n) Silent Observers
• In many communities, senior citizens, shut-ins, persons who work at home, and
ocher neighborhood people watch for and report suspicious events.
• Some programs are designed so that observers may report by number rather than
by name to protect their identities.
• Call your law enforcement agency to find out if it is participating in programs,
such as "Silent Witness, Secret Witness, Witness Anonymous or Crime Stoppers"
to encourage crime reporting.
o) Communications
Develop communications networks with neighbors and law enforcement agencies.
Use cell phones or regular phones for emergency communications with neighbors
and/or law enforcement agencies. Keep an emergency phone list next to your phone,
along with a list of all your neighbors.
p) Crime Awareness
Call upon law enforcement experts and community leaders to participate in
neighborhood meetings or workshops on a variety of topics. This includes:
• Personal safety tips,prevention of rape, assaults or robbery
• Bicycle, auto, or boat theft prevention
• Alcohol and other drug use and abuse
14
+ 5
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
• Drug houses and clandestine laboratories
• School safety
• Senior Citizens, con game,personal safety and elder abuse
• Criminal Justice System, police, courts, and corrections
q) Neighborhood Watch Coalitions
In many _communities, individual Neighborhood Watch groups unite to form
coalitions. By coordinating their efforts, individual groups find they can share
valuable information, as well as increase the impact of their block captains who
represent their neighborhood at coalitions meetings.
Some groups even form organizations to raise money for crime prevention programs
within their communities. If you would like to explore these possibilities, discuss
them with the local law enforcement agency.
r) If a Crime Occurs remember to report it. Unfortunately, only about half of all crimes
are reported. This is unfortunate, because law enforcement cannot do anything if they
are not aware of the procedure. Eyewitness information is the key to solving many
crimes. Remember these tips when reporting crime to law enforcement agencies:
• Call law enforcement immediately. A five-minute delay can reduce the chance of
ever catching the criminal.
• Tell law enforcement as much as you can. No fact is too trivial. In many cases, it
is what victims and witnesses tell police about criminals that result in arrest. Law
enforcement can use answers to as many of the following questions as possible.
�J However, remembering wrong information is worse than no information.
Remember these tips when reporting a crime.
• What occurred?
• When did this occur?
• Where did this occur?
• How many suspects are there?
• What did they do?
• What did they take?
• Which way did they go?
• Were there any other witnesses?
• What are there names, addresses, or phone numbers?
• Provide any other information that might be useful. s
• Can you describe their vehicle(s)?
• License number
• Color
• Make .
• Year
• Condition
• Last direction of travel
15
I�1
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
Law enforcement receives many calls for service each day. They may not be able to
respond immediately. The have to prioritize their calls based on the incident or
situation and its severity. They will get to you as soon as possible.
s) Suspect Description Form
• Sex
• Race
• Age

• Style
• Side Burns
• Eye color
• Glasses
• Facial, completion, mustache,beard, scars
• Clothing, hat, shirt, pants, skirt, dress,

t) Training
Training is done within each Neighborhood Watch community. Leaders within each
community should be selected. The leaders need to be organized and motivated. It is
important to keep the enthusiasm going. To do this, it is necessary to choose new
projects so that there is always something on which to keep the focus. In addition,
leaders need to communicate to their communities and the area Citizen Corps Council.
C. VOL UNTEERS IN POLICE SER VICE (VIPS)
The VIPS members support busy law enforcement departments in order to free up
officers for frontline duty. This program seeks to increase volunteer service to local law
enforcement agencies, help citizens learn about how they can get involved in VIPS
programs and establish programs in their area.
Adult citizens who are familiar with the local areas shall comprise the VIPS. These
trained volunteers shall be utilized to enhance vital crime prevention services and
community awareness. VIPS Citizen patrol units may perform vacation house checks, -
conduct business and residential security surveys, and perform welfare checks on invalid
and elderly persons. With additional optional training and certification, members may
perform traffic control, issue handicap-parking citations, and perform other duties as
pennitted by the Station Commander.
16
�C
City of Grand Terrace Citizen Corps Program Annex
February 13, 2007
VIPS members shall not be allowed to take enforcement action, carry any weapons or
chemical agents or make arrests. Any suspicious activity observed shall immediately be
reported to the local Sheriff's Station.
VIPS is a crime prevention program exercising proactive law enforcement principles.
The program is expressly comprised of volunteers having an interest in their local law
enforcement agency. All volunteers will attend a VIPS Citizen Patrol Training Academy
and monthly meetings.
1) Eligibility Requirements
Most agencies will screen volunteers very thoroughly. Potential volunteers will be asked
to provide necessary background information and to sign a release form to allow a
criminal background and/or financial background check.
2) Training
Local VIPS programs are individually designed. Many agencies have a volunteer
handbook that is provided at program entry. Most agencies will likely have a short
orientation and training to introduce volunteers to law enforcement practices. If an
assignment requires additional training (for example, data entry) the volunteer will
receive that as well. Many agencies have citizen academies, which familiarize citizens
with many aspects of policing. Not all agencies have such programs in place. Another
excellent volunteer orientation is a series of ride-alongs with officers on various shifts.
D. MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS(MR Q
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) will coordinate the skills of practicing and retired
physicians, nurses, and other health professionals who are eager to volunteer during
emergencies.
The Medical Reserve Corps is the component of the Citizen Corps that will bring
together local health professionals and others with relevant health related skills to
volunteer in their community. These volunteers will assist local, existing community
emergency medical response systems as well as provide a group of readily trained and
available resources to help a convnunity deal with pressing public health needs and
improvements. Citizen Corps Councils and Medical Reserve Corps units will vary from
community to community, depending on each community's needs and the decisions made
by the community's leadership and its citizens. The initiatives in all communities share
the common goal of engaging volunteers in helping their communities prevent, prepare
ing public health needs and emergencies of all
for and respond to crime, disasters, press
kinds
In conjunction with San Bernardino County Public Health Department, the San
Bernardino County Medical Society has applied for a Medical Reserve Corps Grant.
This is a competitive grant. The Medical Society wishes hopes to establish local Medical
Reserve Corps unit. Assess community's risks and vulnerabilities; such as local surge,

capacity needs to establish the required number and type of health professional
volunteers.
Establish MRCU goals and objectives, policies and procedures. Assure health
professional volunteer recruitment for both initial planning and ongoing Unit activities.
Require continuous,emergent, and adequate medical response to a community health
crisis. Assure ongoing communication and efforts to ensure coordination of MRCU
activities with those of the emergency response community via development of working
relationships with appropriate community organizations; 7) establish linkage with local
emergency response system to assure a timely and effective response to a real disaster.
Identify training needs, develop skills inventory, and develop volunteer training program.
Implement disaster drill program. The Unit will serve as a supplement to existing public
response systems, providing volunteers who are trained to function effectively in
emergencies. To facilitate the unit's formation, a Medical Reserve Corps Unit Formation
Planning Committee shall be created. This committee shall report to the SBCMS Board
of Directors, drawn from the SBCMS, relevant local agencies, and facilities.
The overall program is still under construction.
1) Program Description
The MRC will provide communities with volunteers who can assist health professionals
during large-scale local emergencies. Local communities will develop their own MRC
and identify the unique needs of the area. For example, MRC volunteers may deliver
necessary public health services during a crisis and provide direct care to those with less
serious injuries. MRC volunteers may also serve a vital role by assisting their
communities with ongoing public health needs (e.g., immunizations, health and nutrition
education, and volunteering in community health centers and local hospitals).
2) Eligibility Requirements
All MRC volunteers must have appropriate education, training and experience. All
members of an MRC unit do not need the same education and training, although there are
some common elements.
When recruiting for an MRC unit, volunteers must be asked to show proof of their
qualifications; including education and work experience, diplomas, current or past
certifications and ]'censure. This requirement includes those volunteers who perform
numerous functions that do not involve direct patient/victim medical care.
3) Training
There is not one particular way to train MRC members. However, the "Medical Reserve
Corp: A Guide for Local Leader" should be follo,,ved to ensure consistency between all
MRC groups.

Due to the fact that each MRC group has individual methods of management and
training, it will be up to the MRC leaders to maintain the necessary training to meet its
community's needs. In addition, there should be regular meetings and drills to ensure
maximum emergency preparedness and communication within each MRC group.
The MRC will coordinate the skills of practicing and retired physicians, nurses, and other
health professionals who are eager to volunteer during emergencies.
5. OUTREACH PROGRAMS
A. COUNTYLEVEL
The OA, through the Citizen Corps Council Advisory Committee (CCAC), will use
existing brochures from the FEMA and ARC. It will also use Web Sites and Public
Service Announcements, as well as making direct outreach contact with volunteer groups
that are identified as not coordinated through a recognized program such as Volunteer
Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD), or with ties to the Public Safety Community.
Another avenue is to use the Operational Area Coordinating
OACC Training Subcommittee to assist in promoting and scheduling classes.
B. CITY/TOWN LEVEL
Each City/Town/will be responsible for outreach programs to the Community, Schools,
and Business for their jurisdiction, in addition to scheduling their training programs.
6. ALLOCATION OF SUPPLIES
A. SUPPL Y ITEMS
Each of the four Citizen Corps Programs requires various types of supplies.
1) C.E.R.T.
Each new student will receive a CERT responder backpack, safety helmet with chinstrap,
vest, and student manual. Other equipment needed will be the responsibility of the
student and or donated by local Grand Terrace Businesses.
3) Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program, which enlists the active
participation of citizens in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime in their
communities. For over thirty - (30) years, the Neighborhood Watch Program has
successfully kept people safe in their homes and neighborhoods throughout the nation.-

Staff Report
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2007
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION IMPLEMENTING THE NATIONAL
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS) FOR THE CITY TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES (OES) GUIDELINES
NO FUNDING AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED:
e
BACKGROUND:
This action is consistent with City Council's goal to seek and secure alternative funding sources, and to
pursue reimbursement for incurred expenditures associated with the provision of emergency services
during, and/or following a disaster; and incompliance with the California State Office of Emergency
Services (OES) requirement for the implementation of NIMS.
In August of 2004, the City Manager endorsed a Letter of Promulgation for the City of Grand Terrace's
Emergency Plan. One of the Emergency Plan's requirements stipulates that the City must adopt the
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)prior to receiving consideration for grand funding
reimbursement from the State's Disaster Assistance Program. The Standardized Emergency System
(SEMS)provides common Incident Command System terminology to be used by agencies throughout the
State of California. Common ICS from other agencies during and/or following a disaster; and;
undeniably, common ICS terminology is deliberately intended to standardize emergency management
nationwide, and to provide the Federal government the flexibility to deal with terrorist incidents by
utilizing standardized structure/framework from this system.
In addition to standardizing its communications, the Federal Emergency Management Office also imposed
other regulatory measures subsequent to the City's endorsement of its Letter of Promulgation. For
example, shifting the Federal government's approach in the area of emergency management, and
consequently creating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency. The U.S. Department of
Homeland Security has since spearheaded and coordinated national efforts to better prepare our nation for
terrorist attacks, as well a variety of other emergencies.
Further, the U.S. Homeland Security's foremost priority has been the development of a nationwide
system for incident management; hence the National Information Management System (NIMS). One of
the NIMS fundamental intent is to provide a consistent nationwide template; as well as assist and enable
Federal, State, Local and Tribal governments, private sector and non-eovernmental organizations to work
together to prevent, prepare, respond, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of causation, size
and/or complexity.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The National Information Management System(NIMS) builds on the foundation provided by existing
incident management systems. These systems are the Incident Command System(ICS), Multi-Agency
Coordination System, and the System of Mutual Aid utilized by the State of California and embodied
within the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS).
Moreover, NIMS provides a national system for standardizing organizational structures, processes and
procedures, and standardizes principles for planning, training and exercising; personnel qualification;
r
equipment acquisition and certification; and communications and information technology. All Federal
government agencies are required to adopt NIMS; whereas State and Local governments must adopt their
respective systems incompliance with NIMS in order to maintain eligibility for Federal, State and County
grants for emergency preparedness, and to receive consideration for reimbursement following an
emergency.
Finally, by adhering and complying to preset and established requirements under the Emergency Services
Act, staff will strengthen the City of Grand Terrace's expenditures under Disaster Assistance Programs
such as repair, renovation, and/or any other cost resulting and/or following an emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT
Failing to adopt, adhere and comply with preset established requirements under the Emergency Services
Act, will work against City staff efforts in pursuing and securing eligibility and consideration for State
reimbursements for response-related expenditures under Disaster Assistance Programs and/or following
an emergency.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt a Resolution implementing the National Incident Management
System (NIMS), in compliance with the State of California Office of Emergency Services (OES)
guidelines
