I t 1 y Council Minutes March 13,2007 Page 3 PUBLIC COMMENT Ramon Morales, 12414 Cardinal Court, indicated that there are a lot of people that are against the power plant. Jon Souw,22797 Finch Street,indicated that there are a lot of people that are unaware of the power plant and requested that the residents be better infonned of the project and the enviromnental impact of the plant. Rita Schwark,21952 Grand Terrace Road,indicated that there still is a problem with illegal parking on the coiner of Barton Road and Grand Terrace. She questioned if she took a picture of the illegally parked trucks and their license plates if they could be cited. Ryan Willaims, 22005 Tanager Street, stated that he doesn't want the power plant to be in Grand Terrace. Glenna Goodrick, 12225 Michigan Street, reported that this year will be the 56`h Annual National Day of Prayer which will be May Yd. Calvary the Brook Church and Grand Terrace Baptist Church will be having an afternoon observance at 12 noon at Grand View Baptist Church. She encouraged everyone to mark their calendars for that date. Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, indicated that she had attended a lot of Council Meetings and they sit through a lot of verbiage of Council Members and feels that they could cut their speeches down. There are members of the community that have knowledge and have spent a lot of money and time researching the peeker plant, which is an extremely important issue in Grand Terrace. There seems to.be a problem with staff not getting iterns on the agenda that really need to be on the agenda. They certainly need more than three to five minutes to go through the seriousness of the plant. She requested that Council listen and that they can do something about it. She requested that the Council, please look into the peeker plant and to give it their frill attention. Charles Hornsby, 22656 Brentwood Street, indicated that the bigger issue is the location of the proposed peeker plant. He feels that this project needs to be seriously considered. Roxarme Williams; 22005 Tanager Street stated the following: My last presentation 2-27-2007 before the council addressed the following issues: Hazardous Air Emissions and Facilities within a Quarter Mile Land Use: 1. Proximity to Pressurized Gas, Gasoline, or Sewer Pipeline r, Council Minutes March 1.3,2007 Page 4 2. Proximity to High-Voltage Power Transmission Lines 3. Presence of Toxic and Hazardous Substances 4. Other Health Hazards 5. Proximity to High-Pressure Water Pipelines, Reservoirs, Water Storage Tanks Violation of Grand Terrace's General Plan Financial Conflict of Interest Possible soil and groundwater concern at.old power plant My request to be placed on the agenda regarding the AES Highgrove Power plant has not been answered. Neither have I heard from staff,per the last city council meeting on 2-27-07. Recall, that AES Power plant company has made their presentation before the council. Ought not the citizens have the right for their voices to be heard as well? Aren't the Halloween Haunt and Grand Terrace Parade well-advertised and supported by the city council? Shouldn't an issue as pressing as a power plant be well-advertised as well? 1. I am asking that the city council place this public safety and public health issue on the next agenda for council action/vote. 2. City council to declare its position regarding the AES Powerplant:pro or con 3. City council organize a town hall meeting regarding the old and new power plant, and the new high school. What say ye: Deal or No Deal? City Manager Schwab,indicated that the City Council does not approve powerplants. Power Plants of fifty megawatts incapacity are all approved by the California Energy Commission. The Commission has had two hearings to date and will continue to do so. The City Council has the ability to take a position on the issue if they so choose and if they direct staff to place an item on the agenda staff will do so. The granting authority is with the CEC as well as the Enviromnental Document. The Enviromnental Document for the Power Plant re-power project sits solely with the CEC. The Council has the ability to comment and staff has attended both meetings that have been brought into the community. At the first hearing there were very few comments. A lot of the comments that he has heard tonight the CEC would welcome and would want to hear because they are the authority that makes the decisions. He stated that staff will do additional enforcement on the truck parking on Barton Road and Grand Terrace Road. He stated that a Deputy himself would have to witness an incident in Council Minutes March 13,2007 Page 5 order to issue a citation. REPORTS 5A. Committee Reports 1.

Council Reports Councilmember Cortes, reported that.the synchronisation of the signals will begin next month. Assistant City Manager Berry, stated that they are running the lines right now and will be installing control boxes on Barton Road in April and May and are expecting in June or July it will be-complete. They will begin construction on the traffic signal at Honey Hill and Grand Terrace Road next month. Councilmember Cortes, arinounced that Jason Karger lias invited all the Council Members to take a tour of the homes that he built on DeBer y Street. Anyone interested should contact him. She wished everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. Councilmember Buchanan, stated that he was not present when the Power Plant Company made their presentation to the Council so he hasn't had the benefit of seeing that. He understands that we do not have any part in the application process,the approval process,the environmental analysis process, other than the ability to comment like anyone else. He would like to suggest that this is not an issue that we should be afraid to look at and comment on. He can't say at the moment whether he is supportive of it or against it. He can say that Council Minutes March 13,2007 Page 6 he personally has some reservations about the wisdom of the project, the location and whether that is an appropriate use of the land. He feels that it is,an important enough issue that it merits the Council's effort to ensure that the community understands what is going on with that project and what options they have as well as an opportunity for the City to make any determination that they want to make. He feels that Ms. Williams has three points that she raised and he would_probably approach them in reverse order. He would like to know more. City Manager Schwab, stated that there has been two hearings so far that have been put on by the CEC. One was held at the Highgrove Community Center which was basically an introduction of the project and they had a public hearing in which they took comments from the public. There were very few comments that were made. The second meeting was an open House. The process is no where near the end. Councilmember Buchanan, feels that the City should help those that have an.interest in the project understand what the process is,when the hearings will be held,what their comment opportunity is so that their voice can be heard. He would like the Council to participate in the process to the degree that they make'a determination as to whether or not they want to instruct staff to submit material. He indicated that he will not be at the next Council Meeting. Councihmember Miller, stated that there were two meetings and he attended both meetings. He stated that there were very few people from Grand Terrace at the meetings. Most of the people were from Riverside. There was a time for questions and there were very few that were asked. He feels that the Council and the Community needs to be better educated on the project and the effects of it. He would agree to having the comments of Ms. Williams included as an addendum to the next set of minutes. He stated that the Greystone project was approved over a year ago and questioned what the status of the project is. Community and Economic Development Director Gary Koontz,responded that the last staff heard they were moving forward with final design, however, we haven't seen anything yet. ID Mayor Ferre, reported that there was a ground breaking for Riverside Highland Water Company's new office on Michigan. She reported that she attended the East Valley Mayor's Meeting and the Gang and Drug Task Force.

I support the new high school. I support.the new Colton Unified School District's high school#3 to be built_in Grand Ten•ace. Simply, "High school,yes. Power plant,NO!". :City Councils' Opinions are Important to the CEC-why come to the Grand Terrace City Council? Perhaps you're asking why would the public come to the Grand Terrace City Council when according to the Warren Alquist Act(Pub Resources Code 25000 et:seq.), the�Califomia Energy,Commission (CEC)has sole permitting authority for thermal electric power. for facilities 50 MW or more. 1 argue that: a. The cii;-council&local government DO have a weighted say based upon the following power plant sitings- i. Nueva Azalea-The city of South Gate(Sunlaw Energy Corp. Power Plant)became involved in the siting procedures because the high_level of community concern over air quality and health impacts. In addition, the South Gate City Council adopted a resolution opposing the power plant, the issue was placed on the local initiative ballot, and the measure was defeated by the citizens. As a result of the ballot measure being defeated, and the fact that the project had no local government or citizen support, Sunlaw Energy Corp. withdrew its.application (2005 Env. report). ii. Portrero Power Plant of San Francisco (Mirant Coip.)-The city'adopted an ordinance based upon air quality and public health. As a result, the applicant Mirant Corp_ .requested suspension of the power plant project (2005 Env.report). iii. Metcalf Energy Center(Calpine Corp.)-The mayor and the city council voted not to grant the requested entitlement based upon air quality impacts, ground water,noise impacts, adjacent land uses; visual impacts, and biological impacts. y The School District's EIR report can't mitigate: Air Quality and Noise--Further air quality emissions by the power will exacerbate the situation and make the air pollution worse. The CEC can make"bad decisions if city councils do nothing=if the city council rernams passive or neutral and does nothing,then bad decisions can result, like: a. The.AES Highgrove Power Plant will be at an unprecedented proximity to the Colton Joint Unified School District's high school#3, with property lines approximating less than 100 feet! This violates the Department of Education's Title 5 laws. Even if the most conservative distance estimates (which measure from the classrooms to the power plant), "the nearest classrooms are about 1,000 feet southeast of the plant;" according to AES' own Application For Certification (AFC) subsection 8.1.2:Hazardous Materials Handling. Allowing the CEC permit would be a_bad decision is �� 2 b. Blythe power Plant was,allowed by the CEC to be built at the-end of an airport runway. Don't you think that caused airplane visibility problems?!

The LEA (local educational agency) shall consult with the administering agency and the local an-pollution control district or an-quality management district to identify facilities within a quarter mile of the proposed site that might reasonably be anticipated to emit - hazardous air emissions or handle hazardous materials, substances, or wastes and shall provide written notification of those findings. 2. The LEA shall make the finding either that no such facilities were identified or that they 'do exist but that the health risks do not or will not constitute an actual or potential endangerment of public health at the site or that corrective measures will be taken that will result in emissions mitigation to levels that will not constitute endangerment. In the final instance the LEA should make an additional finding that emissions will have been mitigated before occupancy of the school. 3. These written findings, as adopted by the LEA governing board, must be submitted to the Department as a part of the site approval package.

Actual distance of"property line" to "property line"is less than 100 feet. -A proposed high school across Taylor Street from the AES power plant raises the potential for land use incompatibility issues. -The California Department of Education (CDE)has established standards under Title 5, Article 2 California Regulations that pertain to new or proposed schools that are within 1,500 feet of ( above-ground water storage, fuel storage tanks, or underground pipelines that can pose a safety hazard, and 100 feet from 50-133 kV lines triggering a requirement for risk assessment and consideration of mitigation measures. CDE concerns include traffic, toxic substances,powerline location,hazardous pipeline (gas pipeline) locations, hazardous material deliveries, and air quality/public health issues. Proximity to Pressurized Gas, Gasoline, or Sewer Pipeline 1. Education Code Section 17213 prohibits the acquisition of a school site by a school district if the site "contains one or more pipelines, situated underground or aboveground, which carries hazardous substances, acutely hazardous materials, or hazardous wastes, unless the pipeline is a natural gas line which is used only to supply natural gas to that school or neighborhood."Public Resources Code Section 21151.8 uses the same language with reference to approval of environmental impact reports or negative declarations. (See CCR, Title 5, Section 14010(h)) U' 2. The 7 mile natural gas line violates: CDE guidelines (CCR Title 5, 14010(h))that a school site shall not be located within 1,500 feet of the easement of an aboveground or underground pipeline that can pose a safety hazard."

The CDE requires the following limits for locating any of a part of a school site property line near the edge of easements for high-voltage power transmission lines: 100 feet for 50 to 133 kV transmission lines. The exact location route, easement,the EMF exposure, and audible noise should be stated. Each site will be evaluated according to its own potential hazards by the Department consultant(See CCR, Titles, Section 14010(c)). Presence-of Toxic and'l3azardous Substances -Storage of aqueous and/or anhydrous ammonia requires a development of risk management plans and modeling of potential release under the CCR, Title 19, Chapter 45-California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP)Program. In addition, transport of aiiunoiiia, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, and cyclohexamine could pose risks to students' health; hours and routes that children will use while traveling to/from school, and transport routes of the chemicals should be stated. ,On a daily'°basis, A) S "gill'hatil-Nvaste'water by._truck:};(-11-`l 9 per.;da ):to the 1RI brine-]iite. accordin�.toACLC staf,3.-estilnates.

Title 5, Section 140110).) Other Hcaltb Hazai`ds (See Education Code Section 17213(a) and Public Resources Code Section 21151.8(a)(1); see also CCR, Title S, Section 14011(h)) -AES Highgrove Power plant(HP) is a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) contaminated site based on a 1994 Stipulation Order placed upon Southern California Edison (SCE). This allows the States Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the local Certified Unified Program Agency(CUPA)RCRA authority over the site for monitoring and mandating remediation for contaminants. Contaminants arise from the old SCE'S lined retention basins which contain chemical contaminants from boiler water and cooling tower blow-down. hi addition,the DTSC is in the process of an RCRA investigation at the fuel tank farm, the power - generation facilities, and Cage Park. There is a DTSC Corrective Action for the site for solid waste management and the retention basins at the project site. 1. Metals were detected in soil matrix,trichloroethylene (TOE), and methyl tertiary butyl ether(MTBE)in soil vapor samples. 2. Some liquid and volatile organic compounds (VOC)were found in soil vapor,which triggered a groundwater investigation. An investigation is being done to determine whether there was release of contaminants (metals) into the soil. -The LEA shall include in an environmental impact report or a negative declaration the information needed to determine that the proposed site is not any of the following type: 1. The site of a current or former hazardous waste disposal site or a solid waste disposal site unless, if the site was a former solid waste disposal site, the LEA governing board concludes that the wastes have been removed. 2. A hazardous substance release site identified by the DTSC 3. The site of one or more pipelines, situated underground or aboveground, which cant' hazardous substances; materials, or wastes, unless the pipeline is used only to supply natural gas to that school or neighborhood -These written determinations, as adopted by the LEA governing board, must be submitted to the Department as a part of the site approval package. Often this information is included in the Phase I site assessment and in the adopted CEQA document. a N t 6 -Other factors to consider are as follows: • If the proposed land has been designated a border zone property by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC),then a school may not be located on the site without a specific variance in writing by DTSC. Contact DTSC, Site Mitigation, (916) 255-3745. See Health and Safety Code Section 25220. From a nuisance standpoint the site selection committee should also consider-whether- a site is located near or downwind from a stockyard, fertilizer plant, soil-processing operation. auto dismantling facility, sewage treatment plant; or other potentially hazardous facility. Proxiruity to Railroads When evaluating a site near railroad tracks, a study should be conducted to answer the following questions (See CCR, Title 5, Section 14010(d)): 1. The proposed high school site represents a distance of less than 1,500 feet from a railroad track. If the proposed site is within 1,500 feet of a railroad track easement, a safety study shall be done by a competent professional trained in assessing cargo manifests, frequency, speed, and schedule of railroad traffic, grade, curves, type and condition of track,need for sound or safety barriers,need for pedestrian and vehicle safeguards at railroad crossing,presence of high pressure gas lines neat-the tracks that could rupture in the event of a derailment,preparation of an evacuation plan. In addition to the analysis,possible and reasonable mitigation measures must be identified. 2. Studies for AES power-plant, evaluating train derailment, have not been done for best/worse case scenarios,.in spite of the recent Burlington Northern Railroad ' derailment at the Main St./railroad line in 2006. According to the U.S. Department of Education and the Press Enterprise, San Bernadino County has more reported hazardous-materials spills (620), leaks, and other incidents from trams than any other county in the nation from 1993 through 2004. In addition, what would be the best/worst case scenario for a train derailment onto the AES Power plant and the adjoining tank#13 ammonia storage facility, or the#15 gas compressors? (see site plan general arrangement figure 2.2-1 rev. 1) What would be the case for the newly proposed natural gas line route, which approximates the power plant; Riverside Canal, and the train tracks? 3. While most railroads have detailed instructions for handling hazardous materials, no setback distance between railroad tracks and schools is defined in law. However; the California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 1401-0(d), established the following regulations pertaining to proximity to railroads: a. The National Transportation Safety Board has called for a uniform standard separation of at least 100 feet between hazardous materials storage and production facilities and mainline railroad tracks. Hazardous materials authorities have evacuated homes within a radius of 1,500 feet to 2,500 feet of railroad accidents when toxic gas and explosives were involved Proximitv to Hioli-Pressure \'dater Pipelines, Reservoirs, Water Storage Tanks IM -The toxic waste disposal via truck to SARI line violates CDE. f n. ' ter. 7 1. The proposed high school may fall within a distance of 1,500 feet from the proposed natural gas line, whose route begins on the northwest side of the AES power plant. In addition, the Riverside Canal is still being considered for non-potable water for the power plant, and its pressure,proximity, and impact on the high school should be considered as well. 2. Large, buried pipelines are commonly used for delivery of water. Designs of such pipelines include a wide margin of safety for the operating water pressures within the pipe,but a severe earthquake, damage by an adjacent construction activity, or highly corrosive conditions surrounding soils can contribute to leakage or even failure of the pipe.. sudden rupturing of a high-pressure pipeline can result in the release of a large volume of water at the point of failure and fragments of concrete pipe being hurled throughout the immediate area. Subsequent flooding of the immediate area and along the path of drainage to lower ground levels might occur. 3 To ensure the protection of students, faculty, and school property if the proposed school site is within 1,500 feet of the easement of an aboveground or underground pipeline that can pose a safety hazard,the school district should obtain the following information from the pipeline owner or operator: • The pipeline alignment, size,type of pipe, depth of cover • Operating water pressures in pipelines near the proposed school site • Estimated volume of water that might be released from the pipeline should a rupture occur on the site • Owner's assessment of the structural condition of the pipeline (Periodic reassessment would be appropriate as long as both the pipeline and the school remain operational.) • School districts should determine form topographic maps and in consultation with appropriate local officials the general direction that water released from the pipeline would dram. If site selection must involve such pipelines; districts should seek to (1) avoid or minimize students use of ground surfaces above or in close proximity to the buried pipeline; (2) locate facilities safely or provide safeguards to preclude flooding.in the event of a pipeline failure; and (3) prepare and implement emergency response plans for the safety of students and faculty in the event of pipeline failure and flooding. Observing California Environni ntal Quality Act (CEQA) Requirements The California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) is located in the Public Res0w-ces Code Section 21000 et seq.;the CEQA guidelines are found in the Califo7-Ilia Code ofRegidations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. Enacted in 1970, CEQA was primarily intended for use by public agencies in considering the potential environmental implications of their actions when approving projects The Act establishes a duty for public agencies, including school districts, to analyze, avoid, mitigate, or where feasible, minimize foreseeable environmental damage. - a. 8 Violation of Grand Terrace's, General Plan a. Air Quality Policy.T-The current General Plan.states that"the City shall promote the growth-of`clean' industry which does not increase air pollution".. As demonstrated in the preceeding violations of CDE LOBS, the power plant would violate clean,industry. policies. b. Proposed.Policv 5.4.2-The proposed General Plan states that"the City shall require that all new businesses-that produce,use,transportation, storage, treatment; or disposal of hazardous rnaterials'and wastes are located away from sensitive land uses such as residences,schools,and hospitals. The new power plant would violate the hazardous wastes clause. c. Noise levels during construction. The start up phase of the project will { involve construction 24 hours, 7 days a week. Although AES says that the majority of-construction will be scheduled between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., welding, piping, erection activities, electrical conduits and circuits, and maintenance on construction equipment will take place past 7 p.m. Demolition, clearing, excavation, concrete pouring, steel erection, mechanical, and cleanup) will average 55 decibels (dBA). A comparable sound to 55 dBA is the horn of a train, which is 96 dBA. That's noisy. Financial Conflict of-Interest-The City will'receive$1.98 million to$2.24 million in annual.property tax revenue when construction is completed. About 80 percent(or 79.65 percent) of the-property tax would go to the City. of Grand Terrace Redevelopment Agency,2.59 percent'go to the County General Fund, 1°0.36 percent to schools,3.09 percent-goes to Special-Districts,4.06 percent goes to the city and the remaining 0.25 percent goes-to County Library (Wright,2006). Therefore,approximately$1,657,500 ($1:98-million) to$2,025,800 ($2.24 million) will be paid to the City of Grand Terrace for use by�the Redevelopment Agency and the City. Possible-soil and groundwater concerns at old power plant a. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)needs to come and give a workshop regarding the Closure Report for the Highrove Generating Station Basins,possible basin leaks, contaminated soil, and if there is contaminated groundwater. ✓ We would like the city to oppose the AES Highgrove Power Plant. ✓ We would like the city to organize a Town Hall meeting at the Grand Terrace City Hall to discuss the old and new power plant, and the new high school. , w CITY . 0 RAND TERR C Community Services Department Staff Deport MEETING DATE: March 27, 2007 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE STREET SLURRY CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN ASPHALT SOUTH, INC.

Many communities have adopted ordinances prohibiting or heavily regulating such dispensaries. The City of Grand Terrace wishes to be proactive in preventing the establishment of such dispensaries in Grand Terrace. Although the State of California has approved laws allowing for medical marijuana clinics such facilities are still prohibited under Federal Law and are in violation of the Federal Controlled Substances Act. �J STAFF RECOMMENDATION: STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT COUNCIL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE ADDING CHAPTER 9.28 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES WITHIN THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE. �� COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. -l� ORDINANCE NO.

WHEREAS, in 1996, the voters of the State of California approved proposition 215, which was codified as Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5, et. seq., and entitled the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 ("the Act"); and «'HEREAS, the intent of Proposition 215 was to enable persons who are in need of medical marijuana for medical purposes to obtain and use it under limited, specified circumstances; and WHEREAS, SB 420, which went into effect on January 1, 2004, was enacted by the Legislature to clarify the scope of the Act and to allow cities and counties to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with SB 420 and the Act; and WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace Municipal Code, including the Grand Terrace Zoning Code, does not regulate in any manner the existence or location of medical marijuana dispensaries; and WHEREAS, after receiving inquiries from persons interested in establishing medical marijuana dispensaries, numerous cities in the State of California have adopted ordinances prohibiting or heavily regulating such dispensaries; and WHEREAS, because a significant number of cities have prohibited or heavily regulated medical marijuana dispensaries, there is a substantially increased likelihood that such establishments will seek to locate in the City of Grand Terrace; and WHEREAS, a medical marijuana dispensary was seeking to locate to the City of Grand Terrace; and WHEREAS, other California cities that have permitted the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries have witnessed an increase in crime, such as burglaries, robberies, and sales of illegal drugs in the areas immediately surrounding such dispensaries; and WHEREAS, in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyer's Cooperative, (2001) 532 US 483, the United States Supreme Court addressed marijuana use in California and held that the Federal Controlled Substances Act continues to prohibit marijuana use, distribution, and possession, and that no medical necessity exception exists to these prohibitions. Further, according to the U.S. Supreme court's decision in Gonzalez v. Raich (2005) 125 S. Ct. 2195, federal law presently prohibits the use of medical marijuana; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court decision did not address the conflict between federal laws and California laws with respect to medical marijuana dispensaries.
