hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council regarding revocation of the conditionally permitted use. After receiving the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council shall conduct its own hearing and make a final determination to revoke, amend or leave unchanged the subject conditional use permit.
Grounds for Revocation: In accordance with Condition of Approval #26, the Planning and Development Services Director has reviewed the Project (including complaints lodged by neighboring tenants and/or property owners and the results of City inspections) and has determined that the operation of the activities at the site is inconsistent with the Conditions of Approval - as well as in violation of other applicable laws.
Specifically, the Planning and Development Services Director has determined that CUP 19-01 is subject to revocation on the following grounds:
1. Business operations outside of approved business hours The Conditions of Approval limit the business hours to “Monday thru Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.” - and further explicitly provides that “No business activities shall be conducted after 10:00 p.m. except for emergency purposes only.” Notwithstanding these limitations, business activities have been confirmed to be occurring (either by TSG Fleet Services, customers of TSG Fleet Services, or some other business entity) between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., as well as on weekends.
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval #s 3, 12, 24, and 38
2. Unpermitted truck storage at Site
The Site has been approved (by means of Resolution 2020-03 adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental 19-05), Conditional Use Permit 19-01, and Site and Architectural Review 19-03) for the development of a trailer/container storage facility that would provide parking spaces for “semi-trailers, shipping and storage containers, and chassis”.
On April 24, 2024, City inspectors confirmed that commercial box-type trucks and other tractor trucks were observed to be parked and/or stored at the Site. Truck storage is not an explicitly permitted use of the Site pursuant to GTMC Section
18.40.020, nor is it a approved use pursuant to Conditional Use Permit 19-01 (or any other approved CUP). Photographs of truck storage are provided as Attachment 11 to this agenda staff report. GTMC Sections 18.40.010 through 18.40.030 are provided as Attachment 12 to this agenda staff report.
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval #s 1, 12, and 38, and Grand Terrace Municipal Code §18.40.020 (“M2 Industrial District: Permitted Uses”)
3. Lack of Required Certificate of Occupancy
On October 6, 2021, the Planning and Development Services Department granted Administrative Conditional Use Permit 21-05, Administrative Site and Architectural Review 21-07, and Environment 21-04 - approving a 640 square-foot modular office.
C.1
Packet Pg. 14
On October 7, 2021, Patrick O’Brien (on behalf of Grand T-1 accepted the Conditions of Approval for ACUP 21-05.
Thereafter, On July 28, 2022, Permit B00-004-382 was issued to place a new 16’x40’ prefabricated office building at the Site - and this permit received final approval on July 28, 2022. Building Permit No. B00-004-382 (“Prefabricated Office Building”) and Inspection Record are provided as Attachment 13 to this agenda staff report.
On July 28, 2022, the Grand Terrace Department of Planning and Development Services issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the prefabricated office building - explicitly providing that “THIS TCO SHALL BE VALID ONLY FOR 45 DAYS AFTER DATE OF ISSUANCE”. The Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (Prefabricated Office Building”) is provided as Attachment 14 to this agenda staff report. On the same date, the Grand Terrace Building Official e-mailed Mr. O’Brien alerting him to the fact that the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was valid only for 45 days - and that Mr. O’Brien (or TSG Fleet Services) needed to “complete all and any outstanding project conditions in order to obtain a permanent C of O before the TCO expiration date.”
The Temporary Certificate of Occupancy expired on or about September 11, 2022 - and, to date, no permanent Certificate of Occupancy has been issued.
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval #s 12, 16, 38, and 39, and Grand Terrace Building Code §111.1 (“Change of Occupancy”)
4. Unapproved re-fueling activities
(including storage of fuel and re-fueling of vehicles and/or equipment).
In or around August 2022, City Staff were made aware that above-ground fuel pumps had been installed at the Site without required approval from the City, San Bernardino County Fire, and South Coast Air Quality Management District, as well as without required building permits issued by the Grand Terrace Planning and Development Services Department.
City Staff had ongoing communications with the property owner’s representative (David Mylnarski of TransTech) regarding the need to
obtain all required approvals for the fuel pumps, including a modification of CUP 19-
01. At some point thereafter, the fuel pumps were apparently removed without required approvals, permits, or inspections - and TSG Fleet Services commenced utilizing fuel storage containers/pumps located inside of truck trailer. Communications with TSG Fleet Services representatives confirmed that these fuel storage containers were being utilized re-fuel TSG vehicles (e.g., forklifts) and/or equipment.
On October 18, 2023, the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District issued a Notice of Violation of TSG Fleet Services being out of compliance with the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act - and TSG Fleet Services commenced utilizing C.1
Packet Pg. 15
fuel storage containers/pumps located inside of truck trailer. Communications with TSG Fleet Services representatives confirmed that these fuel storage containers were being utilized to re-fuel TSG vehicles (e.g., forklifts) and/or equipment.
TSG Fleet Services subsequently obtained a San Bernardino Certified Unified Program Agency (“CUPA”) permit for the above-ground fuel storage container that is valid from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
Upon obtaining a copy of the CUPA permit from TSG’s attorney, Grand Terrace Special Legal Counsel advised TSG’s attorney that the CUPA permit did not negate the need to obtain a modification of CUP 19-01 to authorize the use and would also need to undergo an environmental review.
A code modification would also likely be required as GTMC Section 18.40.040 explicitly provides that “Uses that include the storage of hazardous and/or flammable material is prohibited.” GTMC Section 18.83.040 is provided as Attachment 17 to this agenda staff report.
To date, neither the owner of the Site nor TSG Fleet Services have sought a modification of CUP 19-01, nor any other approvals from the Grand Terrace Planning and Development Services Department, Planning Commission, or City Council authorizing the storage of fuel on Site or re-fueling operations. Photographs of the fuel pumps are provided as Attachment 15, and photographs of fuel tank are provided as Attachment 16 to this agenda staff report.
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval #s 12, 16, 38, and 39; GTBC §105.1 (“Permit Required”); GTMC §18.40.040 (“M2 Industrial District:
Prohibited Uses”)
5. Failure to submit “Project Deliver Staging and Operating Schedule” Pursuant to Condition of Approval #23 of CUP 19-01 requires the applicant or assignee to provide to the City for review and approval by the Planning and Development Services Department a “Project Delivery Staging and Operating Schedule” for the purpose of avoiding stacking of trucks and trailers at major City intersections. The Schedule was to be submitted on a quarterly basis for the first three calendar years of operation commencing on the date that the Project use begins operating.To date, neither the applicant nor TSG Fleet Services has submitted the required Staging and Operating Schedule on the required quarterly basis.
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval # 23
6. Failure to submit “Security Camera Plan”.
Pursuant to Condition of Approval #46, the applicant or assignee was required to submit to the City for review and approval by the Planning and Development Services Department a security camera plan that demonstrates onsite and offsite monitoring. [Compliance with this is also a requirement prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Use and Occupancy.]
C.1
Packet Pg. 16
Ø Violation of Conditions of Approval # 46
City’s Attempts to Obtain Voluntary Compliance: The City has had numerous communications with representatives of the applicant (property owner), the applicant’s representatives, and TSG Fleet Services regarding compliance with the Conditions of Approval.
Additionally, since April 2023, Special Legal Counsel James Eckart had multiple verbal and written communications with legal counsel for Grand t-1, LLC and for TSG Fleet Services - during which Mr. Eckart discussed the violations of Conditional Use Permit 19-01 and applicable provisions of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. Correspondence from Grand Terrace Special Legal Counsel to Attorney for GrandT-1, LLC (dated April 24, 2023) is provided as Attachment 18 to this agenda staff report.
To date, the unauthorized, unapproved, or prohibited activities have not ceased, nor has either the property owner/applicant or TSG Fleet Services obtained the required permits or approvals that are lacking (as discussed hereinabove).
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Public notice has been made in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091, and in accordance with Grand Terrace Municipal Code Section 18.03.070.
Public notice was published in the Grand Terrace City News and mailed to property owners within 1500 feet of the site. In addition, a copy of the notice was posted in three public places.
Public Comments were received by the City and are provided as attachments to this agenda staff report as follows:
• John Odenbaugh email dated 6.20.2024 is provided as Attachment 19. • Juanita Odenbaugh official statement dated 6.14.2024 is provided as Attachment 20. • A resident petition with 43 signatures supporting revocation of CUP is provided as Attachment 21.
• Juanita Odenbaugh digital image/video files are provided as Attachment 22. • Bobbie Forbes digital image/video files are provided as Attachment 23.
At the Public Hearing on July 18, 2024, the City will share the digital image/video files provided in the above attachments on the screen during Public Comments.
CONCLUSION:
The Planning Commission only serves as a “recommendation body” for revocation hearings.
That is, all the Planning Commission can do is recommend to the City Council whether to revoke. For the reasons set forth hereinabove, and any evidence presented at the Public Hearing, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to the City Council, via the attached draft resolution provided as Attachment 1, to revoke Conditional Use Permit 19-01.
C.1
Packet Pg. 17
Alternative Remedy: The Planning Commission may make a recommendation to City Council to amend or leave unchanged Conditional Use Permit 19-01.

PUBLIC ADDRESS
David Mlynarski, asked what options are available to an applicant who has followed all of the rules, filed applications, has been working with staff in a very cooperative manner, agreeing to expansion of notification radiuses and other public hearing type requests, in order to make hearings as broad ranging and as fair as possible. What does an applicant do when all they are seeking is an expeditious processing of its application? It appears the body is having difficulty in bringing an item forward. Mr. Mlynarski asked the City to get back to him and let him know if the body is unable to hold an expeditious hearing, and what options does an applicant have in order to do so.
Bobbie Forbes, Grand Terrace asked everyone in the Council Chamber to use whatever power they have to help with the illegal fireworks in town. She asked the community to send emails, contact the sheriff’s department, get addresses, send messages, make phone calls to the non-emergency number to the sheriff’s department, and send an email to the City Clerk if an address is obtained. It is out of control this year and is only going to get worse in the next three weeks.
Juanita Umbaugh, Grand Terrace appreciates the Planning Commission’s hard work on behalf of the community to bring in new business. She also thanked it for notifying the community and making all of its letters appropriate during this very difficult time. She appreciates the Planning Commission not rushing its decisions, taking its time, and making sure new business is right for the City.

Attn: Alan Fenstermacher, Esq.
Re: GrandT-1, LLC (APNs 0275-191-06 and 0275-191-30) / [CUP 19-01] Dear Mr. Fenstermacher:
Thank you for confirming that you are the attorney representing GrandT-1, LLC, in connection with its operations in the City of Grand Terrace (“City”), and for taking the time to speak with me last Friday. As I advised you, I serve as the City’s Special Legal Counsel in connection with the enforcement of Conditional Use Permit 19-01 – which was issued to your client on August 25, 2020 (as set forth in Resolution 2020-32), authorizing the operation of a proposed trailer storage facility at the above-referenced parcels of property.
As we discussed, your client’s acquisition of a Conditional Use Permit was a multi-year process that resulted not only in a public hearing spanning three (3) separate Planning Commission meetings, but also an appeal before the City Council brought by a member of the public. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council considered the tremendous public opposition presented at the respective hearings prior to the granting of Conditional Use Permit 19-01 by a narrow margin of both the Planning Commission (2 to 1 vote, with 2 commissioners recusing themselves) and the City Council (3 to 2 vote).
The approved Conditional Use Permit included in excess of forty-six (46) Conditions of Approval – which Patrick O’Brien accepted on behalf of GrandT-1, LLC, on September 30, 2020.
Notwithstanding the acceptance of CUP 19-01 and its Conditions of Approval, I have been advised that your client and/or TSG Fleet Services, LLC – the current operator of fleet services at the Subject Properties, is causing or allowing violations of the Conditions of Approval of CUP 19-01 and/or of other applicable provisions of law.
C.1.r

Rutan & Tucker, LLC
Attn: Alan Fenstermacher, Esq.
April 24, 2023
Specifically, I have been advised of the following violations of applicable Grand Terrace laws and/or of the CUP:
1. Business operations are occurring at the Subject Properties without a current and valid Business License (by either GrandT-1, LLC or TSG Fleet Services, LLC);
2. Use and/or occupancy of an “office” structure without a valid Certificate of Occupancy;
3. Installation of above-ground fuel tanks without required City approvals, permits, and/or inspections;
4. Conducting trailer storage operations outside approved days and/or hours (as set forth in Condition of Approval #3 to be Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.);
5. Failure to submit the following to the City:
a. Operations Manual;
b. Project delivery staging and operating schedule;
c. Security Plan
Your client is hereby ordered to immediately cease and desist all unapproved business operations occurring in violation of the approved days and/or times – and to otherwise ensure the operation of the trailer storage facility strictly adheres to CUP 19-01 and all other applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Although you and I agreed that a meeting between you and your client (along with a representative from TransTech) and City Officials and me would be beneficial to discussing the outstanding issues – I advised you that we would not agree to any meeting unless your client immediately ceases all business operations occurring in violation of the approved days and/or times.
In this regard, in August 2022, on behalf of your client, Attorney Jonathan E.
Shardlow (of Allen Matkins) issued correspondence to the Grand Terrace City Manager – a copy of which is enclosed herein - asserting that Condition #3 does not, in fact, limit business hours to the days and times set forth therein. As I discussed with you on Friday, Mr. Shardlow’s interpretation of the term “proposed” as it relates to business hours is inaccurate1 – and is in direct 1 Contrary to Mr. Shardlow’s assertion that the term “proposed” as used in Condition of Approval #3 is meant to be understood merely as suggested or anticipated hours of operation, “proposed” is clearly meant to demonstrate that the hours of operation would commence at some C.1.r

contradiction to the decision made by the Planning Commission at the final hearing on July 16, 2020.
For your convenience, enclosed herein, please find copies of the following documents:
a) City Council Resolution 2020-32 (upholding Planning Commission’s approval of CUP 19-01);
b) Acceptance of Conditions of Approval (signed by Mr. O’Brien); and, c) Portions of the Minutes of Planning Commission meeting from July 16, 2020, pertinent to CUP 19-01.
Additionally, I encourage you and your client to review the Planning Commission and City Council hearings regarding the CUP. You are able to access video recordings of the Planning Commission and City Council meetings from the City’s website.2
point in the future since the business was not in operation at that time. The Conditions of Approval not only discuss the “proposed” Project (Condition #29 and throughout the Exhibits setting forth Conditions of Building & Safety, Public Works, and Fire Department), but also discusses the following “proposed” components of the proposed Project: parkway trees (Condition #30), storage shed (Condition #31), lighting (Condition #32), 900 square foot office trailer and 4,800 square foot maintenance building (Condition #36), street improvements (Public Works Condition #1), sewer plans (Public Works condition #5), and water plans (Public Works Condition #s 6 & 7). If Mr. Shardlow’s interpretation were accurate, your client would also be able to contend that the CUP does not limit your client to a trailer storage yard since it is referenced as a “proposed Project”. 2 You may review recordings of the Planning Commission meetings related to CUP 19-01 here:
http://grandterracecityca.iqm2.com/Citizens/Calendar.aspx?From=1/1/2020&To=12/31/2020.
The final meeting was held on July 16, 2020. Although the issue of business hours was addressed at multiple points during the hearing, I would encourage you and your client to pay special attention to the portion of the discussion commencing around 2 hours, 46 minutes in the July 16th meeting. At the conclusion of the public hearing, Commissioner Alaniz makes a motion to approve the CUP with the condition that the hours of operation commence no earlier than 7 a.m. Thereafter (at or around 2 hours, 57 minutes), with no second to Commissioner Alaniz’s motion, Vice-Chair Briggs makes a motion to approve the CUP with a variety of conditions – including that operating hours be limited to Monday through Friday from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. – with no weekends or holidays. With no second to Vice Chair Briggs’ motion, Commissioner Ceseña makes an alternate motion to approve the CUP (at approximately 3 hours, 30 seconds into the meeting) with a condition to limit the operating hours to commence no earlier than 7 a.m. Commissioner Alaniz requests to make a friendly amendment to Commissioner Ceseña’s motion to limit operating hours from 7 am to 8 pm. Commissioner Ceseña agrees to modify her motion, and the amended motion is approved by a vote of 2 to 1 – thereby approving CUP 19-01 with the limitation of operating hours to Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. After the appeal, the City Council upholds the Planning Commission’s decision – thereby maintaining the approval of CUP 19-01 with the limited operating hours. It should be noted that your client and/or his representative from TransTech (David Mlynarski) were present in person or virtually for each of the meetings, and were involved in all discussions.

Otherwise, we will have no choice but to request the Planning Commission to revoke the CUP, as well as to commence other legal enforcement actions to abate all unlawful activities and conditions.

Packet Pg. 139 Attachment: Attachment 19 - Mrs. John Odenbaugh Email (GrandT-1 CUP 19-01 Revoke (Continued))
To the Planning Commission and City Council of Grand Terrace:
I, Juanita Odenbaugh, have resided with my family at 21811 Vivienda Avenue, Grand Terrace, CA 92313 since June 2005.
I am submitting this official statement to present written evidence and personal experiences indicating that TSG Fleet Services has engaged in unlawful activities. Attached to this statement are video and photographic evidence documenting each occurrence.
Since TSG Fleet Services commenced operations at 11731, approximately 940 feet from my residence, I have observed the company conducting business outside of their designated operational hours, specifically between 8 PM and 7 AM. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in heavy traffic involving trucks associated with TSG, traversing small neighborhood streets including Vivienda Avenue, Walnut Avenue, Burns Avenue, and Grand Terrace Road.
Furthermore, on Saturday, August 6, 2022, outside of the designated operational schedule, TSG employees were present on site, moving trailers and receiving truck trailers. I contacted the San Bernardino Sheriff's dispatch to request a deputy to enforce their Conditional Use Permit (CUP 19-01) and halt TSG's activities. Deputy Officer Velasco responded, and after reviewing the operational hours specified in CUP 19-01, he instructed the employees to cease their activities.
The reference number for this incident is GT 22218008.
On August 11, 2022, on two separate occasions after operational hours, I observed trucks entering and exiting TSG's premises. The first incident occurred at 5:19 AM and the second at 8:13 PM.
Most recently, on Tuesday, May 6, 2024, at approximately 4:30 AM, TSG had bright lighting and noise emanating from an employee operating a large forklift to move chassis. I reported a noise complaint and the early activity to the San Bernardino Sheriff's dispatch. Deputy Officer Jimenez responded, and upon arrival at TSG, the portable lighting was turned off and the forklift operations ceased.
Over the past two years, I have compiled approximately two years of photographic and video evidence of trucks with trailers on Walnut Avenue, Maple Avenue, Burns Avenue, Grand Terrace Road, and Vivienda Avenue, directly related to TSG's trucks passing through the neighborhood.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and recollection.
Sincerely,
Juanita Odenbaugh

Re: Agenda Item C.2 - Review of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-01 11731 Terrace Avenue
Dear Honorable Chair and Planning Commissioners:
This letter is sent on behalf of Grand T1, LLC (“Grand T1”) the owner of the property located at 11731 Terrace Avenue (the “Property”), which is currently leased to TSG Fleet Services, LLC (“TSG”).
The purpose of this letter is to formally request a continuance of the June 20, 2024 hearing to July 18, 2024. This office previously made this request to the City’s special counsel, and understands that City staff plans to recommend to the Commission that this item be continued to that date. We support that recommendation, and believe it is necessary to povide Grand T1 – which does not conduct operations on the Property – with sufficient time to investigate the City’s concerns, act accordingly, and provide a complete response.
This office has not been in contact with the City concerning the Property for approximately one year, and therefore Grand T1 is still getting up to speed. Grand T1 received the notice of the June 20, 2024 hearing 9 days prior to the hearing date, and was provided the detailed basis for the proposed revocation of the CUP when the staff report was released. I also understand that TSG’s primary representative and legal counsel is currently out of the country, and unable to attend or otherwise participate in the June 20th hearing.

The continuance will provide the opportunity for Grand T1 and TSG to meet with City staff to discuss this matter, and such a meeting is currently scheduled for early July, to hopefully resolve any outstanding issues without needing any further hearing(s). Grand TI looks forward to working with the City on this matter.

Re: Agenda Item C.2 – Review of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) 19-01 11731 Terrace Avenue
Dear Honorable Chair and Planning Commissioners:
This office serves as legal counsel for TSG Fleet Services, LLC (“TSG”), the current tenant of the real properly located at 11731 Terrace Avenue (the “Property”), which is owned by Grand T1, LLC (“Grand T1”). The purpose of this letter is to formally request a continuance of the Public Hearing by the Planning Commission scheduled for June 20, 2024 (“Hearing”).
TSG first received notice of the Hearing (“Notice”) on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 11, 2024 – nine (9) days before the Hearing. The Notice identified six alleged violations of the CUP, four of which TSG learned about for the first time in the Notice.
TSG had no prior knowledge or notice of four of the alleged violations.
Following receipt of the Notice, this office communicated with Mr. Eckart, the City’s special counsel, to request a continuance. The request for a continuance was because: (i) TSG requires additional time to investigate the newly identified violations and provide the appropriate response, and (ii) I, TSG’s primary legal counsel, am C.1.w
Packet Pg. 148 Attachment: Attachment 25 - Watts Letter (GrandT-1 CUP 19-01 Revoke (Continued))
June 19, 2024
currently out of the country on the date of the Hearing, and will not be returning until July 5, 2024, and am therefore unable to attend or participate in the Hearing on behalf of TSG. Based on these factors, Mr. Eckart agreed to support our request for a continuance of the Hearing. It is our understanding that Mr. Eckart has communicated the parties’ joint recommendation for a continuance of the Hearing to July 18, 2024.
It is TSG’s sincere desire to resolve the issues raised in the Notice and TSG remains committed to working with the City to achieve a resolution. A meeting is currently scheduled for July 8, 2024, with all concerned parties, including City staff, to further discuss the matter with the goal of finding a resolution without the need for a further hearing.
Nothing in this letter is intended to constitute or should be construed as an election of remedies by TSG or as a waiver or release of any rights or remedies available to it. All such rights and remedies are reserved, and nothing herein is intended to limit or otherwise restrict those rights in any way.
Thank you for your consideration of this request for a continuance.

Project Title: Voluntary Relinquishment of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-01 Project Location: 11731 Terrace Avenue, Grand Terrace, California Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs): 0275-191-06 and 0275-191-30 Description of Project: The project involves the voluntary relinquishment of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-01 for the property located at 11731 Terrace Avenue. This action terminates the existing CUP associated with the trailer and container storage facility, allowing the property to be re-entitled under current zoning regulations. The site will maintain the existing Site and Architectural Review (SA) 19-03 approval, which covers other site improvements, including trail access. No new development or physical changes to the site are proposed as part of this action.
Name of Public Agency Approving Project: Grand Terrace City Council Name of Person or Agency Carrying out Project: Patrick O’brien, representing Grand T-1, LLC
Exempt Status: Categorical Exemption – Section 15061(b)(3), Common Sense Exemption Reasons Why Project is Exempt: The project qualifies for a Common Sense Exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the relinquishment of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-01 may have a significant effect on the environment. The action does not authorize any new development or physical changes to the site. Instead, it eliminates a previously approved land use entitlement, thereby reducing the potential for environmental impact.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 14, 2025
TITLE: Approval of Legal Services Agreement with Fennemore LLP to Provide Legal Services in Connection with The Anthony Petta and Angeline Petta Family Trust Litigation
PRESENTED BY: Adrian Guerra, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FENNEMORE
LLP TO PROVIDE LEGAL SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
ANTHONY PETTA AND ANGELINE PETTA FAMILY TRUST LITIGATION,
AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT
SUBJECT TO CITY ATTORNEY APPROVAL AS TO FORM
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports our Mission to preserve and protect our community, City Council Goal #1, “Ensure Our Fiscal Viability.”
BACKGROUND:
City resident, Ms. Angeline Petta, passed away in January 2025. Prior to her passing, she had recorded a trust along with her husband in 2021, known as the Petta Family Trust. The Petta Family Trust was amended in December 2024, a month prior to Ms. Petta’s passing.
There is now a dispute within the Petta family as to who the proper trustees are to administer the trust. Specifically, as part of the 2024 Amendment, Ms. Petta’s nieces were named co-trustees of the Petta Family Trust. They allege that the original trustees, John Petta and Angie Hisler, were too “elderly and physically and/or cognitively incapable of serving” as trustees. As a result, Ms. Petta’s nieces have initiated a lawsuit to effectively have the December 2024 amendment declared valid and confirm their appointment as the trustees. Moreover, they seek to get the original trustees to be declared incapable of serving as trustees. The lawsuit is entitled The Anthony Petta and Angeline Petta Family Trust, dated May 10, 2012 as amended December 2, 2024, in the Probate Department of the San Bernardino County Superior Court as Case No. TRUVA2500084 (the “Action”).
Per the trust document, The Petta Family Trust named the following beneficiaries:
• Susan Petta Park
• Grand Terrace Library
• San Bernardino Valley College
• Grand Terrace Senior Center
• Grand Terrace Fire Station
As written, the City of Grand Terrace is a beneficiary of the trust with the expectation and hope to receive the intended trust proceeds. While the City is not a party in the litigation, the City has an
interest in ensuring that the trust is administered appropriately and that the City receives any intended trust proceeds.
DISCUSSION:
City staff recommends retaining outside legal counsel, Fennemore LLP, which specializes in this area of law, to monitor this case and ensure the City’s interests are protected.
David Werner, of Fennemore LLP, is recommended to provide these legal services based on his expertise and experience in this specialized field. Mr. Wener has more than 25 years of civil litigation experience and specializes in trust litigation. As a probate, estate, and trust litigator, he has a unique understanding of the various and complex facets of probate and trust law, as well as other related areas of the law. Mr. Werner has briefed and argued cases before the California Court of Appeal for Districts Two, Four, and Five. He also briefed and successfully argued a case that was accepted for review by the California Supreme Court. Additionally, Mr. Werner is a resident of adjacent Loma Linda. As such, he is familiar with the City of Grand Terrace.
Mr. Werner charges $590 per hour. If additional attorneys are required, their hourly rates range from $330 to $815. Paraprofessionals are billed at hourly rates ranging from $210 to $350. The firm invoices monthly for services rendered, with payment due within 30 days of the invoice date.
Additionally, a $1,000 fee deposit will be held in trust to cover related costs. The firm possesses extensive experience and demonstrated expertise in trusts and estates litigation, including contested probate proceedings, and is well-qualified to represent the City's interests in this matter.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs for legal services will be billed hourly and are expected to be covered within the City’s existing budget. The firm's lead attorney charges $590 per hour, with additional attorneys billed at rates ranging from $330 to $815 per hour, and paraprofessionals billed at rates ranging from $210 to $350 per hour. Additionally, a $1,000 fee deposit will be held in trust to cover related costs. Staff will monitor expenses and return for further authorization if needed.

Re: Engagement of Legal Services
Client: City of Grand Terrace
Matter: The Anthony Petta and Angeline Petta Family Trust Dear Mr. Bolowich:
I am writing to confirm the terms under which Fennemore LLP (“Fennemore” or “the Firm”) will represent the City of Grand Terrace (“Client”) in connection with the lawsuit captioned as The Anthony Petta and Angeline Petta Family Trust, dated May 10, 2012 as amended December 2, 2024, which is filed in the Probate Department of the San Bernardino County Superior Court as Case No. TRUVA2500084 (the “Action”). We appreciate the opportunity to work with you.
Our representation is limited to the Client identified above and our engagement will consist of protecting Client’s interest as a beneficiary of The Anthony Petta and Angeline Petta Family Trust, dated May 10, 2012 by providing Client with representation in the Action. Our work is limited to these services, including any services rendered at your request on this matter prior to the date of this letter. If you subsequently ask us to provide legal services on additional matters, we will be happy to do so provided we agree in writing to perform that additional work and all other formalities required by Client to allow for the additional scope of representation are followed and completed.
My current hourly rate is $590.00. Other attorneys, if needed, will be billed at hourly rates which currently range from $330-$815, depending on levels of experience. Certain tasks may be assigned to paraprofessionals at hourly rates that currently range from $210-$350. Our rates may change periodically. Billings for services will be based on the factors described in the enclosed Terms of Engagement.
Our office generally requires a fee deposit from new clients to begin work on a matter. In this instance, we request a fee deposit of $1,000, to be held in trust, and to be available to pay for costs, such as for filing service and related fees, when they are incurred. The fee deposit will be

TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
TO OUR CLIENTS:
Fennemore’s standard terms of engagement for providing legal services as described in the attached letter are summarized below. These terms (the “Terms of Engagement”) are an integral part of our agreement to provide you with legal services. These Terms of Engagement, together with the engagement letter to which these Terms of Engagement are attached, may be referred to as the “Engagement Agreement.” Please contact us promptly after reading these terms if you have any questions.
1. Who is Our Client? Except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing, we represent only the person(s) or entity(ies) identified in our engagement letter (referred to herein as “you” or “Client”). Unless specifically stated in that letter, our representation of you does not extend to any of your affiliates, employees, officers, shareholders, or any entities in which you own an interest.
If you are a partnership or limited liability company, our representation does not extend to the individual partners or members of that entity. If you are a trade association, our representation does not extend to members of the trade association. If you are an individual, our representation does not include your spouse, siblings, other family members, or any entity in which you hold an ownership interest. In addition, the advice and communications which we render on your behalf are not intended to be disseminated to or relied upon by anyone else without our written consent.
If Client is an entity, we will look to the managers, partners or officers, as appropriate, of the entity for our instructions regarding the legal services to be performed, as well as for the resolution of any issues that may arise in the course of the services. California Rule of Professional Conduct Rule 1.13 (“Rule 1.13”) addresses legal representation of an entity or organization and certain of its owners and employees. A copy of Rule 1.13 is available here for your reference:
https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/rules/Rule_1.13-Exec_Summary-Redline.pdf
2. Conflicts and Consent Relating to Future Adverse Representation in Unrelated Matters.
(a) To assist in avoiding representing parties with conflicts of interests, we maintain a computerized conflict of interest index. The Firm will not represent any party with an interest that may be adverse to that of a person or entity included in the index without an examination to determine whether a conflict of interest would actually be created. To allow us to perform a conflict check, you represent that you have identified for us all persons or entities that are or may become involved in this matter, including all persons and entities that are affiliated with you and the other involved or potentially involved parties (such as parent corporations, subsidiaries and other affiliates, officers, directors and principals). Nonetheless, unless this Engagement Agreement states otherwise, the Firm’s only Client is the individual or entity identified as such in the engagement letter. You also agree that you will promptly notify us if you become aware of any other person or entities that are or may become involved in this matter.
City of Grand Terrace
October 14, 2025
(b) Our firm provides a wide array of legal services, including administrative, legislative, litigation, and transactional services, to many other companies and individuals. It is possible that one or more of our present or future clients will have disputes or transactions with you during the course of our representation of you or that one or more of them will ask us to advocate a change in law or policy that might have a direct or indirect adverse impact upon your interests. You agree that we may represent any existing or new clients in any matter that is unrelated to our representation of you, including matters that are directly adverse to you or in which a policy we advocate might have a direct or indirect adverse impact upon your interests.
We agree, however, that your prospective consent to conflicting representation set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply in any instance where, as a result of our representation of you, we have obtained confidential information that, if known to our other client, could be used in the matter adverse to you and to your material disadvantage and we have not taken steps to screen such information from the lawyers representing the other client in the matter adverse to you prior to such lawyers learning any such information or where we are otherwise precluded from undertaking the representation under applicable ethical rules that govern lawyers. You hereby consent to the Firm taking any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to protect your confidential information from such disclosure or use, including the creation of a formal “ethical screen” in accordance with the Firm’s internal procedures for implementing such measures. Your alternative to giving this consent to our future representation of other clients is to retain any other counsel of your choosing to represent you in this matter, and you acknowledge that the Firm would not agree to represent you with respect to the matter covered by this Engagement Agreement without your consent and agreement as described in this paragraph. (c) In similar engagement letters with many of our other clients, we may ask for similar agreements to preserve our ability to represent you. You agree that we may disclose the fact of our representation of you, without disclosing the nature of such representation, to other current or future clients that may be adverse to you for the purpose of obtaining such other clients’ consent to any conflict of interest that may be presented by our representation of you and such other client. We will not disclose to the other client any confidential information pertaining to our representation of you.
(d) If we have indicated in the engagement letter above that we currently represent one or more other parties in unrelated matters adverse to your interests or if in an unrelated matter we currently represent one or more other parties whose interests are adverse to yours in this matter, and you have decided you want us to represent you, knowing we represent such other client(s) adverse to you in other matters, we have required you to sign the attached “Conflicts of Interest/Consent and Waiver,” which is incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (e) If we have actual knowledge or reasonably should know that in this matter (1) another party’s lawyer is a spouse, parent, child, sibling, living with, or has an intimate personal relationship with your lawyer, or (2) another party’s lawyer is a client of your lawyer or any other Firm lawyer, then we have disclosed that relationship to you in writing in the above engagement letter as required by California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.7(c). Your lawyer believes you
City of Grand Terrace
October 14, 2025
will receive competent and diligent representation in this matter. If you are aware that any relationship described above exists, please advise us. Otherwise, you agree that we may represent or be represented by lawyers or law firms representing clients whose interests are adverse to yours in unrelated matters.
3. Fees. We encourage you to discuss with us at any time any questions you might have concerning our billing procedures. We charge fees that are reasonable based on criteria for reasonableness set forth in the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct, which include the time, effort and skill required to perform the services properly, the novelty and complexity of the issues, time constraints imposed by the Client or by the nature of the matter, the degree of risk imposed on the lawyer, the amount involved and the results achieved. As a result, fees based on our hourly rates are subject to adjustment to reflect what we believe to be a reasonable charge for tasks performed on your behalf. Standard hourly rates may change periodically, and any changes will be reflected in our monthly billing statements.
4. Billing and Costs.
(a) We ordinarily bill monthly. We request that you review any billing statements promptly upon receipt to determine if you have any questions or comments. Our billing statements are due and payable upon receipt. We ask and expect payment of our statements on a current basis, as delayed payment adds to our overall costs of providing services. Interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum will be assessed on all amounts not paid within 30 days of the date of the statement. In no event will the interest exceed the maximum rate allowable by law on delinquent payments. We bill for all costs advanced for items such as filing fees, expert witness fees, if needed, and travel expenses. Bills will also include charges for other costs, such voluminous document reproduction costs ($.20 per page), service fees, and messenger charges.
While our charges for these services are measured by use, they do not always reflect our actual out-of-pocket costs. Some expense charges include an approximation of applicable overhead incurred by the Firm as itemized to the particular expense. For many of these items, the true cost of providing the service is difficult to establish, and in some instances, the amounts charged are estimates which may exceed the actual cost to the Firm. We would be pleased to discuss the specific schedule of charges with you and to answer any questions you may have. Any changes in these routine charges will be reflected in our monthly billing statements. (b) We make every effort to include disbursements in the statement for the month in which the disbursements are incurred. Some disbursements, however, are not available to us until sometime after the month in which the service related to the charge was performed, in which case either the charge will be billed in a subsequent month, a supplemental statement will be prepared, or an estimated amount will be included in the initial billing and an adjustment made when the actual disbursement information is available.
(c) We may require and you agree to pay certain large disbursements, such as expert witness fees, if such is required, directly to the third party provider.
City of Grand Terrace
October 14, 2025
(d) We look to the Client for payment regardless of whether the Client is insured to cover any particular risk. From time to time, we may agree to assist clients in pursuing third parties for recovery of attorneys’ fees and other charges resulting from our services. These situations include payment of fees under contracts, statutes or insurance policies. It remains the Client’s obligation to pay all amounts due to us upon receiving our statement. (e) It is the Firm’s policy that, if an invoice remains unpaid for more than 90 days, then, absent extraordinary circumstances and subject to legal ethics constraints, we reserve the right to terminate representation, and you hereby authorize us to withdraw from all representation of you. Any unapplied deposits will be applied to outstanding balances. Generally, the Firm will not recommence its representation or accept new work from you until your account is brought current and a new deposit for fees and costs, in an amount that the Firm determines, is paid to us.
5. Funds Deposited with Fennemore.
(a) Retainers and Fee Deposits. We frequently obtain an advance retainer or fee deposit from new clients, and from existing clients under certain circumstances, to secure the payment of our fees and recoverable expenses. The amount and terms of the retainer arrangement are determined after consultation with the billing attorney. It occasionally may be appropriate to require an additional retainer after the commencement of the engagement, depending on payment history or on the scope of the work. The retainer will be held in a general Firm trust account in California, with interest payable to the California IOLTA as required by California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15(a). Although we will typically hold the retainer in trust and apply it to our final invoice, we reserve the right to apply the retainer to our fees and expenses as we earn or incur them from time to time over the course of the engagement, in which case we may ask you to replenish the advance retainer at the amount of the initial retainer or some other amount. Retainer disbursements will be detailed on our billing statements sent to you. You will be invoiced for replenishment of the amount withdrawn. Non-replenishment of the amount requested within 30 days plus amounts then due may be deemed a breach of this Engagement Agreement. Any portion of the retainer unused after full payment of all amounts due to us will be returned to you promptly upon completion of our services. Any amounts due to us in excess of the retainer will be billed to you.
(b) Other Funds. Occasionally, funds due to the Client will be deposited with Fennemore for the benefit of the Client. Absent other agreement with the Client, such funds will be deposited in a general Firm trust account as described in paragraph 5(a) above.
6. Estimates. Any estimates of anticipated fees that we provide, for budgeting purposes or otherwise, are, due to the uncertainties involved, necessarily only an approximation of potential fees. Such estimates are not a maximum or minimum fee quotation.

7. Opinions. During the course of our representation of you, we may express opinions or beliefs concerning the matter on which we are working or various courses of action and the results that might be anticipated. Any such statement is intended to be an expression of opinion only, and should not be construed by you as a promise or guarantee.
8. Client Responsibilities. Recognizing that we cannot effectively represent you without your cooperation and assistance, you agree to cooperate with us and to provide promptly all information known or available to you that is relevant to the subject matter of our representation or otherwise requested by us, including but not limited to full and timely access to any documents or information that we consider to be necessary or important and any changes in the name, address, telephone number, contact person, e-mail address, state of domicile or other relevant changes regarding you or your business. Failure to provide requested information could reduce the effectiveness of our representation and could lead to our withdrawal from our representation of you.
It is essential that we be able to reach you when needed. You agree to promptly notify us of any changes in your contact information.
If you affiliate with, acquire, or are acquired by or merge with another company or otherwise become aware of information that may evidence the existence of a conflict of interest that was not disclosed by you at the beginning of the engagement, you agree to provide us with sufficient advance notice to permit us to determine whether such affiliation, acquisition or merger creates a conflict of interest between any of our clients and the other party to such affiliation, acquisition or merger.
9. Representation of Lawyers.
(a) If you are not a Lawyer. We sometimes represent lawyers and law firms, and we are sometimes represented by other lawyers and law firms, in matters unrelated to our representation of you. Because we do not believe these representations will materially limit our responsibilities to you or will otherwise adversely affect our representation of you, we do not believe these representations present conflicts of interest, including where any such firm also represents a client whose interests are opposed to yours in either a litigation or transactional setting.
You consent to our representation of you despite this Firm’s representation of or by other lawyers or firms. See paragraph 2(e) above.
(b) If you are a Lawyer. Our work on your behalf will be limited to the work described in the above engagement letter. Because we may represent clients in business and litigation matters where you or your firm represents a party with interests adverse to those of our other clients, the potential exists that actions taken by Fennemore on behalf of its clients could directly or indirectly impact you and your firm. Examples are claims of conflict of interest, requests for discovery sanctions, and objections to fee applications. Accordingly, our representation of you and your firm
City of Grand Terrace
October 14, 2025
is with the understanding that you consent to any conflict of interest with respect to our representation of other clients with respect to such matters.
10. Credit Checks. Depending on the nature of our representation of you, we may from time to time request information from credit reporting agencies for the purpose of verifying or considering your credit status. Your engagement of Fennemore will constitute your authorization to perform such credit checks.
11. Renewals, Updates, and Other Filings. Unless otherwise specifically agreed upon in advance in writing, we do not undertake to complete or file any initial, annual, or other periodic report required by any governmental agency. Such reports include, without limitation, beneficial owner information reports required under federal law and annual information reports required under applicable state law. In addition we do not undertake to renew or maintain any water right or claim filings, well ownership filings, assured water supply approvals, mining claim filings, trademarks, trade names, patents, UCC financing statements, judgments or other filings unless (i) otherwise specifically agreed upon in writing, and (ii) we are currently representing you at the time such renewal is required. As a matter of courtesy only, we may from time to time voluntarily provide you with notices of future events or activity affecting your rights related to such filings or other documentation we have prepared, but any such notices shall not be regarded as evidence of an obligation to provide them to you or any assurance that such notices will be provided in the future.
12. Termination. Either of us may terminate the engagement at any time for any reason by written notice, subject on our part to applicable rules of professional conduct and our obligation to give you reasonable notice to arrange for alternate representation. The engagement shall also terminate on the completion of our services hereunder. If we have been engaged in multiple matters, our relationship will also be considered terminated if no matters are pending and there have been no communications between us for three months or more, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. You will remain obligated to pay for fees and costs incurred prior to termination.
13. Post-Engagement Matters. Unless our engagement is by its nature a continuing one (as when we are initially engaged to handle one of a series of separate matters that will be referred to us in connection with an ongoing project) or unless the engagement letter specifically reflects that our engagement is intended to continue beyond the current matter, our engagement will cease upon completion of the matter for which you have engaged us. Upon conclusion of the tasks we have been asked to perform in connection with this engagement, we will have no duty to inform you of future developments or changes in the law affecting any of your interests including your interests in the matter subject to this engagement. To the extent that we voluntarily provide you with newsletters, documents or information concerning such matters following the conclusion of this engagement, such provision shall be considered a matter of courtesy only and shall not be considered the fulfillment or basis of any duty or the re-establishment of any attorney-client relationship.

14. Retention and Destruction of Documents. Following the conclusion of this engagement, any otherwise nonpublic information you have supplied to us which is retained by us will be kept confidential in accordance with applicable rules of professional conduct. At your request, your original papers and property will be returned to you promptly. Our own files pertaining to the matter, which include, for example, Firm administrative records, time and expense reports, personnel and staffing materials, credit and accounting records, and internal lawyers’ work reports, prepared by or for the internal use of lawyers, will be retained by the Firm.
We may retain copies of any file papers returned to you. If you do not request the return of your records, your file and records may be destroyed following the period of time specified by our document retention/destruction policy. This period may vary depending on the nature of the engagement involved. In any event, all files may be destroyed seven years following the conclusion of the engagement.
15. Fee Arbitration. In the unlikely event of any dispute regarding the amount or payment of fees, we have the right to terminate our legal representation in this matter, subject to our obligation to give you reasonable notice to arrange for alternate representation. If such a dispute arises that cannot be resolved, you may elect to use any State Bar mandatory dispute resolution procedures that may apply.
If mandatory dispute resolution procedures regarding our fees or costs have been waived or exhausted, you and the Firm agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. In the unlikely event a dispute is submitted to binding arbitration, there is no right to a trial by jury, and the arbitration’s legal and factual determinations are generally not subject to appellate review. Such disputes shall be decided by a single neutral arbitrator who shall be a retired judge mutually acceptable to Client and the Firm or appointed by JAMS or other agreeable private dispute resolution service. Any other dispute arising out of or related to this agreement or our professional services will also be finally decided by a single neutral arbitrator who is an attorney or retired judge, mutually acceptable to the Parties or appointed by JAMS or other agreeable private dispute resolution service. The Arbitration Rules of JAMS or other agreeable private dispute resolution service will apply to any dispute for which the arbitrator is appointed by JAMS or other agreeable private dispute resolution service. Arbitration shall be in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and any arbitral proceedings hereunder shall take place in California. By signing this Engagement Agreement, you are giving up your right to a trial by jury of the dispute.
We recommend that you discuss the advisability of arbitration with independent counsel or any of your other advisors and to ask any questions which you may have prior to signing this Engagement Agreement.
16. Mediation. As to any claim or dispute arising out of or connected with our services, other than a fee dispute covered by the preceding paragraph, we mutually agree to attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by non-binding mediation before commencing any legal action or other dispute resolution procedure.

17. Affiliations. Fennemore is a member of one or more networks of independent law firms, such as The Toledo Group, a national network of independent law firms that seeks to share experiences and best practices in law firm administration, management, technology and service.
Although a member of one or more such organizations, Fennemore is completely independent and does not have common operations, share fees or collaborate on a pre-arranged basis with other member firms. If collaboration with other independent members of organizations is appropriate to serve your needs, Fennemore will discuss the specific engagement with you.
18. Confidentiality. We will maintain all information regarding your representation confidential in accordance with applicable law and Rules of Professional Conduct. From time to time we may have discussions with other lawyers for the purpose of considering their employment by Fennemore, or law firms for the purpose of considering a potential combination with such law firms. During the course of those discussions it may be necessary to disclose your identity as a client or fee and billing information relating to our representation of you. Such disclosure shall be subject to a confidentiality agreement between us and such other lawyers or law firms, and you agree that we may disclose such limited information for these purposes.
19. Artificial Intelligence. We anticipate that during the course of this engagement, the firm will use generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) to enhance and streamline certain aspects of our services. Like any technology, GenAI carries some degree of risk, which may include risk of errors in GenAI-generated content, data security vulnerabilities and system malfunctions. We have implemented reasonable measures to safeguard against these risks and our lawyers maintain oversight of GenAI-generated outputs. Accordingly, we believe and you agree that the benefits of using this technology outweigh the related risks, and you consent to use of this technology.
20. Storage and Use of Electronic Data. You are aware of and consent to the retention, maintenance, and storage of your information and records relating to this matter in the following forms and locations: paper (in office and/or storage files); electronic (e.g., computer, handheld devices for email, fax, and via the Internet using cloud storage); or other like media. Unfortunately, email, cellular phones, text messaging, cloud-based storage, and other forms of electronic communication and data storage (collectively, “Electronic Communication”) are not completely secure. If there are certain documents or information with respect to which you desire to maintain absolute confidentiality, you must instruct the Firm in writing not to transmit or store such documents or information using standard modes of Electronic Communication so that the Firm can take appropriate actions to comply with your request. In the absence of such instructions, you acknowledge that the Firm will use Electronic Communication in its efforts to provide efficient and effective representation, and you authorize the Firm to use Electronic Communication in connection with the Firm’s representation of Client.
21. Governing Law/Venue. Any claim or dispute arising out of or connected with our services shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any lawsuit relating in any way to our services shall be instituted only in the state or federal courts of the State of California. You
City of Grand Terrace

consent to and agrees to the jurisdiction of such state and federal courts located in the State of California.
We are pleased to represent you and we look forward to a mutually satisfying relationship.
Again, if at any time you have a question or concern, please feel free to bring it to the attention of the attorney or attorneys responsible for your representation at Fennemore. 60622504.1/099506.0013
