PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF
PROPERTY(12569 MICHIGAN STREET AND 11695 CANAL STREET)FROM
GRAND TERRACE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO THE
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
City Manager Schwab, stated that currently the Redevelopment Agency owns two parcels
of land. One on Michigan and one on Canal. These parcels were originally purchased by the
Housing Fund for housing purposes. Due to the changes in the market it isn't feasible
anymore to develop low-mod housing because of the cost of housing, the subsidy that is
required is unreasonable. He is asking the City Council to allow the transfer of those two
parcels to the City and for the City to then evaluate the possible uses and then come back and
have staff make a recommendation to the Council. He pointed out that the resolution has an

Chairman Ferre opened the Public Hearing for discussion.
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that in the past several years a number of
people in Grand Terrace have expressed concern about how the City is juggling money
between the Redevelopment Agency and the City and not actually fulfilling the housing
requirements and making some of the housing going to employees of the City, etc. She is
concerned with all the games that are happening. She feels that this property is being treated
just like the property on Grand Terrace Road where the Senior Housing Project is being
proposed. This property has been left vacant and unkept because the City came in,tore down
the house instead of rehabing and has left it unkept and vacant for over ten years. This
property is residential property, low density, as was the property where the Senior Housing
is being proposed. The City is doing a very bad job on Michigan Avenue of taking property
that is suppose to be residential and breaking it up and putting in City things that don't
belong there, conditional use permits that don't belong there, and a water company that has
hazardous materials that aren't being monitored right in the middle ofresidential. This is just
providing another thing where you are proposing to put a City facility or park or something
else. You need to continue with the low-density residential on this property and not play
games between the agencies on these housing funds. She reminded them that the same thing
happened on Preston, where the City was not being honest.
Chairman Ferre returned discussion to the Council.
CRA-2007-19 MOTION BY AGENCY MEMBER BUCHANAN, SECOND BY AGENCY
MEMBER CORTES, carried 5-0, to adopt a joint resolution of the City of Grand
Terrace and the Grand Terrace Redevelopment Agency with regard to the City's
purchase of Certain property owned by the Agency. (12569 Michigan Street,
$132,000 and 11695 Canal Street $177,000)
Chairman Ferre adjourned the Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting at 6:20 p.m., until the

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
CRA ITEM (X) COUNCIL ITEM Q MEETING DATE: August 14,2007
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Of The Community Redevelopment Agency Of The City Of
Grand Terrace Containing A Description Of The Agency's Program To Acquire Real
Property By Eminent Domain
FUNDING REQUIRED: YES () NO (X)
To ensure compliance with newly enacted Health& Safety Code Section 33342.7(SB53),
staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance that describes the
Agency's program to acquire property by eminent domain.
Senate Bill No.53 took effect on January 1,2007 and is codified in Health& Safety Code
Section 33342.7. Section 33342.7 requires a city that adopted a redevelopment plan prior
to January 1, 2007 adopt an ordinance that describes the redevelopment agency's
program, should it ever need to acquire property by eminent domain. Section 33342.7
applies to all redevelopment plans adopted before January 1, 2007, even if the plan has
never authorized,or does not currently authorize,the use of eminent domain.
The new law(Section 33342.7)does not apply to other legislative bodies that may have the
power of eminent domain,such as cities or housing authorities. Therefore,the City is not
required to adopt a separate ordinance describing any program to acquire real property
by eminent domain.
The Ordinance describes the Agency's program to acquire real property by eminent
domain.
The attached Ordinance does not amend the Redevelopment Plan, but describes the
Agency's program to acquire real property by eminent domain.
To ensure compliance with newly enacted Section 33342.7,staff recommends that the City
Council adopt the attached ordinance.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Council Minutes
July 24,2007
Page 3
Chuck Hornsby,22656 Brentwood Street,has lived in his home for about 13 years now and
traffic was never been a problem until about 5 or 6 years ago. The City put in a couple of
speed bumps that slowed things down for a while. A lot of cars come down Brentwood
Street doing 45, 50 mph. He has noticed over the last couple of months that there are no
speed limit signs on Brentwood. Sometimes all it takes is a reminder that the speed limit is
25.
Scott Galati, 555 Capitol Mall,Suite 600, Sacramento,stated that he has been in front of the
Council a few times and Council has heard him speak many times about how the AES
Highgrove project is going through the Public ? Process through the California Energy
Commission. The Energy Commission is having a workshop on August 15`and he wanted
to make sure that the Council was personally invited to the workshop. There have been
notices in some of the local newspapers and the Energy Commission has sent them out as
well. This is the opportunity for the City and the City Council to participate in this public
workshop,raise the issues and concerns they would like the energy commission to make sure
they analyze. The purpose of this particular workshop is because the Energy Commission
staff has asked AES to modify the Highgrove project's water proposal and how it was using
water. They did revise that, went back and did some engineering and submitted that
information to the energy commission. The energy commission staff has asked for a
workshop so they can ask questions about that submittal and any other questions they may
have about the project. This is again first of several workshops. There will be another
workshop once the energy commission prepares its preliminary analysis. They have not done
the preliminary analysis yet. While there are issues and concerns that can be discussed at this
workshop, they haven't done their analysis. This is the perfect time for the Council and
members of the public to come and voice their concerns.
Herman Hilkey,23196 Glendora Drive,questioned if they ever noticed when you are on the
road and the cars with the loud boom boxes? What he hears inside his car is different than
what you hear. There is a reason for it. The school district recently came against the peaker
plant because it is close to the high school. It puts them in an interesting situation. If the
peaker plant is approved, they have a position, and you know where that is going to go.
Which is another hurdle that we don't want. There are two things that have come to fruition
about these peaker plants in the last four years. Some of them not so public. One of them
has to do with the low frequency noise. The second thing that has come up is that when they
buy their natural gas, there is no quality control on the gas pipes that they are going to be
using. There are issues that are coming up from people that make these generators.
Roxanne Williams, 22005 Tanager Street, would like to once again talk about the AES
Power Plant and the proposed high school number 3 for the Colton Joint Unified School
District. The last time she was here she read the Resolution from the Colton Unified School
District. That Resolution clearly stated that the Board Members have concerns. These
concerns have been printed,not only as Resolution 7-12 but they have appeared in the local
Council Minutes
July 24,2007
Page 4
newspapers. The public continues to need to be informed about the concerns that the
proximity of this power plant will impose upon the new high school. At the last Council
Meeting, the Mayor said that she wanted to hear about the preliminary comments before
commenting herself. She has spoken with Robert World from the California Energy
Commission,who is in charge of this project. She feels that it behooves the Council to make
comments at this time. If you wait it will be too late. It is time to make the comments now.
She encourages the Councilmembers to agendize this item and oppose the proximity of this
new power plant to the high school.
Anne Wade-Hornsby,22656 Brentwood Street, has a concern with a staff member working
for a company called Jacobson Group who is probably going to be doing The EIR for the
City General Plan. She feels that no one that doesn't have a vested interest in the City should
be involved in the process and feels that it should be a true and objective EIR for the Grand
Terrace.
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, feels that everyone needs to wake up. If they want
a high school in Grand Terrace and you want your property protected you must attend these
meetings and pay attention to what is going on in the City as far as the peaker plant and the
high school. There is a meeting on August 1 at City Hall. The General Plan is being worked
on by the Planning Commission,there are proposals for re-zoning different areas,you might
not like it and it seems that in this City it happens without those people seriously affected
knowing. The process of re-zoning property is important to everyone. The way it's done is
important to everyone. People need to wake up and pay attention. She stated that the group
that is doing the EIR is the Jamieson which goes back to Ralph Megna, Gary Koontz and
now someone that is working in the Planning Department that is an employee of Jamieson
Group. They consider this a large conflict of interest. She pointed out that there are trucks
going around in the City of Grand Terrace that are doing work on lines that aren't labeled as
to who they work for. There is standing water in the canal down near a residential property
on Michigan.
Tony Petta, 11875 Eton Drive congratulated the City on making the list for the 100 best cities
to live in. His observation is that it speaks well for City Staff, Law Enforcement, Citizen
Patrol, Planning Commission and City Council.
City Manager Tom Schwab, all the Council is aware that residential speeding has been
something that we have dealt with for years. We are built on the side of a hill so most streets
are downward. The Sheriff's Department has been working to take the traffic car off the
maj or streets and into residential areas. He will have the Deputy check out Brentwood Street
and also place the radar trailer to remind people of their speed. He feels that it is important
that on August 1,2007 from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m.that people come to the meeting on the Peaker
Plant. The California Energy Commission are the experts. They are the people that can
answer the questions. He will have staff looking at the standing water near Michigan. The

vehicles that are working that aren't marked is the cable company. They are in the midst of
doing an upgrade of their cable system in Grand Terrace. As you know both the cable
company and the telephone company are starting to broaden the types of services that they
offer. Staff will look into placing speed limit signs on Brentwood.

5B. Council Reports
Mayor Pro Tern Lee Ann Garcia,stated that the Council receives the Inland Empire Quarterly
Economic Report. In the most recent report there was an article on Cities and Future
Opportunity, The Search for Economic and Environmental Synergy. Anyone interested in
reading can get it from the City Clerk. There is a new group called the Green Institute for
Village Empowerment, a non profit that is dedicated to promoting green technology and
environmental awareness in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. She congratulated
C.E.R.T. on having 5 new residents that are going through the training. She asked for an
update on the school board meeting that took place on July 11, 2007. She stated that she
heard that our street sweeper is down and questioned if it is fixed.
Assistant City Manager BerrX, responded that the street sweeper has been fixed. Staff is

looking at a potential bid for street sweeping services.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, questioned if there was any way the City could regulate the utility
boxes.
City Attorney H=er, you can request but they can't be regulated.
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia, commended the library on their programs that they provide to the
community. Reminded the community that on August 8, 2007 SCAG is going to have an
earthquake conference and they will be having members of the C.E.R.T. program attend.
They will have FEMA out and a lot of other agencies talking about how we can assure that
we are prepared. She is happy to report that FEMA says that there is some money and that
the Federal Government is going to require that the state have a National Recovery Plan.
One of the problems right now is that there are two agencies in the State, Office of
Emergency Services and Office of Homeland Security, and what has happened is that there
is a battle at the State level on which of the two agencies is doing the most. More
coordination is required. They had a great meeting with Mayor Loveridge and
Councilmember Steve Adams and their City Engineer to talk about the 215 gap. She felt that
it was very refreshing. She strongly requested that they have to ask for the total project rather
than piece mill it and both agencies need to buy into it. It's 6.5 miles and approximately 1.2
billion dollars.
Councilmember Cortes,felt that the meeting was productive and positive. SANBAG Board
of Directors held two long meetings regarding TCIF. This is funding for the whole State
from Proposition 1B. The meetings were to prioritize which projects should be first on the
list. There were several projects to prioritize. They could not come to a decision out of those
two long meetings. The reason why is because our State Legislators in Sacramento have not
set a criteria on which projects we should apply for first. They are waiting for the State
Legislators to send each agency what the criteria is so that they can request which projects
to be first. She feels that everyone should attend the August 1, 2007 meeting and have all
of their questions answered, they are the experts. She thanked Ms. Farley for talking to
audience. She asked if staff would look into speed limit signs on DeBerry where the middle
school is. She attended the Korean War Veterans Breakfast that Rosa Smith put together and
it was very touching. It was a very nice event and was glad to participate on behalf of the
City of Grand Terrace.
Councilmember Miller,questioned if there was a reduce speed sign on Brentwood as you get
closer to the school.
City Manager Schwab, responded that he is unsure but that staff would look into it.
Councilmember Miller, questioned how many cars can park in a drive-way.
Council Minutes

Building&Safety/Public Works and Housing Director Shields,responded that for a two car
garage driveway, two cars can park there, as a guess.
Councilmember Miller, stated that there are quite a few homes in town that there are 5 to 6
cars parked in the drive-way. He feels that something needs to be done about this.
�i
Assistant City Managerrry,responded that they will move the cars around every 72 hours
and if they do that there really isn't anything staff can do.
Councilmember Miller,reported on the facilities meeting of the Colton Joint Unified School
District that he attended along with Mayor Ferre. He felt that it was very interesting and the
nuts and bolts of what he got out of it was that there is a real concern of the Board Members
regarding the cost to finish the school and the power plant. Right now,according to the plan
that was put out basically said that the cost overruns for the school would amount to
approximately 168 million dollars, which would put the budget over approximately 68
million and that they are unsure how they are going to cover the overage. There are a couple
of Board Members that are concerned about the power plant and they will be attending the
August 1, 2007 meeting. They are going to bring in a consultant who will review the
financial obligations that the Colton Joint Unified School District is going to have to go
under and how long it is going to take before they can start construction on the site. There
` has been worries that one of the tenants that is on the site now won't be off for 18-to 24
months. The consultant will come back in 2 to 3 months with a report. In the meantime they
are continuing on the path to build a high school in Grand Terrace.
Mayor Ferre,thanked Jan Bledsoe and her team for the Balloons and Assistant City Manager
Berry for putting together all the decorations for the celebration. There is a new wireless
hearing device for the public.
Assistant City Manager Berry, stated that the City received a CDBG grant in the amount of
$4,100 that paid for 8 infrared wireless devices that the hearing impaired public can use
during the Council Meeting. There is a sign when you come into the chambers indicating
that they are available.
Mayor Ferr6, indicated that the Council would like to take a moment to relax and enjoy a
very special moment for the City of Grand Terrace. Grand Terrace has been ranked by
Money Magazine as one of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States. This honor was
not solicited but were called by the magazine. The criteria used was low crime rate,high test
scores at schools, affordable housing, in proximity to top notch health care hospitals and
education institutions. Also,she spent a number ofyears at Terrace View Elementary School
where she saw with her own eyes parents and families that care about their children. When
parents and families care about their kids and their quality of life for them it can do nothing
but make a community very outstanding. She stated that we have a City Manager who has

been in Grand Terrace as the City Manager for 20 plus years. There is no question that there
is stability in the City Administration and that has a great effect on making us a great place
to live. Our City Manager has more longevity than any other City Manager, he also lives
within the community.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, stated that she is so excited and that it is tnily a testament to the
entire community and wants to thank the businesses, the residents, the Staff and all of the
volunteers. It is truly a team effort and looks forward to celebrating with everyone.
Councilmember Cortes, indicated that she has lived in Grand Terrace for 35 years and she
loves Grand Terrace. She feels what makes Grand Terrace so special is the people that

PUBLIC HEARING
6A. 2007-2008 Annual Review of Landscape and Lighting District - Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Gand Terrace Confirming a Diagram and Assessment and
Providing for Annual Assessment Levy for a Landscaping and Street Lighting
District.
City AttorneyHr ,er,reported that this District was originally formed in 1989. It provides
for maintenance of the public right of way in the areas that are subject to the District. It has
been ongoing since 1989 because of the way the current statute works there is no potential
for increasing the assessment and as a result the proposed assessment is the same. A Public
Hearing needs to be opened to take testimony.
Mayor Ferr6 opened the Public Hearing for discussion there being none, she returned
discussion to the Council.

6C. An Ordinance of the City Council Amending Chapter 12.28 of the Municipal Code
and Establishing Maintenance and Pruning Requirements for Trees on Local
Residential, Arterial and Major Streets in the City of Grand Terrace
Assistant City Manager Berry,indicated that at the July 10, 2007 City Council Meeting,the
Council requested staff to provide more research regarding this issue and consult with the
City Attorney on agreed upon verbiage for the amendment. It is staff s recommendation that
the Council adopt an Ordinance of the City Council Amending Chapter 12.28 of the
Municipal Code and Establishing Maintenance and Pruning Requirements for Trees on Local
Residential, Arterial and Major Streets in the City of Grand Terrace.
Mayor Ferr6 opened the Public Hearing for discussion.
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that when you drive around Grand Terrace
where it's a huge issue is where trees go out over the street. If you take right from the curb
and go up 15 feet you are going to go up as high as the phone wires. You are going to
destroy the looks of trees. She hates it when she goes through a City and they have cut off
one side of the tree or topped them all. It's bad for the tree and so ugly. She feels that this
amendment to the ordinance would be very damaging to the trees in the City.
Mayor Ferr6 returned discussion to the Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, requested confirmation that staff will not be requesting the cutting
of all trees,just those that are complaint driven.
Assistant City Manager Berry,confirmed Mayor Pro Tem Garcia's statement. He also stated
that they will not be clear cutting Grand Terrace. It will be in areas where there are problems
with trees on certain streets and complaint driven. He stated that in Code Enforcement,they
always work with the residents. He stated that he loves trees and that they aren't going to do
anything that will kill a tree,however,they need to make the streets safe and the amendment
is not far off of other cities.
Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, stated that in the General Plan, it was a goal to be a tree city.

STAFF REPORT
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
CRA ITEM () COUNCIL ITEM(X) MEETING DATE:August 14,2007
SUBJECT: Jessica's Law Ordinance
FUNDING REQUIRED: YES () NO (X)
Existing state law {Penal Code§3003(g)(1-2)) requires certain sex offenders convicted of
specified crimes against children to register with local law enforcement officials, bars
parolees convicted of specified sexual offenses against a child from residing within one-
quarter or one-half mile of a school(depending on the severity of the crime),,and restricts
sex offenders from being paroled to locations within 1,250 feet of public elementary
schools. This restriction is limited in scope and does not restrict the ability of sex
offenders to reside or be present near other places where children congregate.
In an effort to better protect children and others from sexual predators,a statewide ballot
initiative,Proposition 83,known as"Jessica's Law,"was approved by 70% of the voters
on the November 7,2006 General Election.
California's Jessica's Law includes several new and strengthened provisions to state law,
including GPS tracking of paroled sex offenders for life and new`predator-free zones'for
schools and parks. In addition,Jessica's Law allows local governments to add additional
areas for increased protection.
Approval of this Ordinance would add several provisions to the Municipal Code,
including prohibiting registered sex offenders convicted of a crime against a child from
residing within 2,000•feet of a daycare center and within one-half mile of a school. In
addition,the ordinance would create 300-foot"predator-free zones"around schools and
parks where children are present.
The County of San Bernardino has adopted a similar Ordinance and is urging all the cities
to do the same. The residency restrictions in the ordinance are not retroactive. This law
will allow stricter regulation of registered sex offenders.
