AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
TITLE: Appoint Three (3) Planning Commission Members to Fill Three (3) New FourYear Terms Expiring on June 30, 2030 PRESENTED BY: Daysi Alcocer, City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION: APPOINT THE THREE (3) INCUMBENT PLANNING COMMISSIONER APPLICANTS TO NEW FOUR-YEAR TERMS EXPIRING JUNE 30, 2030 2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This action supports Our Mission: To preserve and protect our community and its exceptional quality of life through thoughtful planning, within the constraints of fiscally responsible government.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission is a five-member Board appointed by the City Council and serve four-year terms at the pleasure of the City Council (Municipal Code Chapter 2.16). The terms alternate so that every two (2) years at least two (2) appointments are set to expire. At the end of the 2025-26 fiscal year, Chair Edward Giroux and Planning Commissioners Aron Burian and Scot Mathis' terms are expiring.
The Table below depicts the current composition and terms of the Commission:
Name Appointed Re-Appointed Term
Ends
Chairman Edward Giroux 06/10/2014 06/28/2022 06/30/2026 Vice-Chair Tara Ceseña 06/10/2014
*Appointed to a
Short Term
ending on
6/30/2016
08/27/2024 06/30/2028
Commissioner David Alaniz 02/25/2020 08/27/2024 06/30/2028 Commissioner Scot Mathis 06/28/2022 -- 06/30/2026
Commissioner Aron Burian 06/28/2022 -- 06/30/2026
DISCUSSION:
On April 16, 2026, staff initiated the recruitment process for the three (3) Planning Commission seats with terms set to expire. The vacancies were publicly advertised through the City’s adjudicated newspaper, City News Group, as well as on the City of Grand Terrace’s official website and Facebook page. In addition, physical notices were posted at the public kiosks located at City Hall to ensure broad community awareness.
The application submission period remained open through Friday, May 15, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., providing interested residents with ample opportunity to apply.
At the close of the recruitment period, a total of three (3) applications were received. All application materials have been attached to this staff report for review. The applicants are as follows:
• Edward Giroux
• Aron Burian
• Scot Mathis
Staff notes that all three applicants are the current incumbent Planning Commissioners whose terms are expiring. Each applicant has expressed interest in continued service and remains in good standing.
Given that the number of applicants is equal to the number of available seats, and that all applicants are incumbents with demonstrated experience and familiarity with Planning Commission duties, it is the recommendation of staff to waive the formal interview and appointment process. Proceeding in this manner would promote continuity in Commission activities and avoid unnecessary administrative delays.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council move directly to appoint Edward Giroux, Aron Burian, and Scot Mathis to serve additional terms on the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
NONE.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no additional fiscal impact created by this action. Planning Commissioners are paid a stipend of $50.00 a month for attendance at a minimum of one meeting, which would continue with the new appointments.

AMENDED LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE CONTRACT
WHEREAS, CITY and COUNTY desire to provide by contract for performance of law enforcement services within the territorial boundaries of CITY; NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
I.
COUNTY shall provide, through the Sheriff of San Bernardino County (hereinafter referred to as "Sheriff"), law enforcement within the corporate limits of CITY as same now exist, or as such limits may be modified by annexation or exclusion during the term of this agreement.
The law enforcement services to be provided by COUNTY and furnished to CITY hereunder shall include:
hereinafter called CITY
02-12311.000 Rev. 11/91 Page 16 of Page 29 of 445
A. Enforcement of state statutes;
B. Enforcement of ordinances of CITY of the type customarily enforced by the Sheriff within the unincorporated territory of the County; C. Traffic enforcement, with the exception of such traffic enforcement as may be provided by the California Highway Patrol on the freeway traversing CITY; D. Detective, juvenile, and other specialized services such as arson, homicide, and narcotics enforcement;
E. Attendance at meetings of the City Counsel of CITY and such other meetings of commissions or boards of CITY as CITY may specify.
Services to be provided by COUNTY shall include Sheriff's personnel and automobiles as specified in Schedule "A" for law enforcement services. Those personnel and automobiles are to be assigned at the discretion of the Sheriff based on the needs of the community.
The services to be provided by COUNTY hereunder shall also include all equipment (including repairs thereto or depreciation thereon), supplies, communications, administration, labor, vacation, and sick leave, any COUNTY retirement contributions, gasoline, oil, and traveling expenses and all other services, obligations or expenditures necessary or incidental to the performance of the duties to be performed by Sheriff under the terms of this agreement. There shall be no reduction in COUNTY compensation under this agreement for normal downtime of vehicles. In all instances where special supplies, stationary, notices, forms, and the like are to be issued in the name of CITY and approved by the Sheriff, the same shall be supplied by CITY at its own cost and expense.
Nothing in this contract is intended to alter the effect of any statute or COUNTY ordinance related to fees for housing of inmates detained for CITY ordinance violations or for criminal justice administrative fees (Government Code Section 29550, et seq., San Bernardino County Code Section 16.027A). The CITY will be separately billed for those items.
IV.
In consideration for COUNTY'S furnishing and performance of all the services provided for herein, CITY shall pay to COUNTY, upon contract approval, the sum as per Schedule "A," attached per year, payable in monthly installments at the beginning of each calendar month during the period of this agreement. Payments shall be due by the fifth day of each month for that same month's services. Payments received after sixty (60) days of when due shall include simple interest after the 60th day against the amount owing, calculated at the COUNTY'S then current investment pool rate. Said sum is subject to adjustment for any salary increases or fringe benefits which may be granted by the Board of Supervisors to Sheriff's employees. The actual cost of overtime, court appearances, and travel expenses will be billed quarterly.
PAGE 2 of 6
COUNTY shall have the right to renegotiate the rate for services performed under this agreement at the end of each fiscal year, and said rate may be adjusted upward or downward to reflect the actual cost.
CITY is responsible for the validity of its ordinances, including any ordinances or codes incorporated by reference in CITY'S ordinances, and CITY shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify COUNTY, its officers and employees with respect to any lawsuit or action challenging the validity of a CITY ordinance or with respect to any allegation that any arrest, citation, or other action taken by COUNTY, its officers or employees was taken under an invalid CITY ordinance, except in those cases where the invalidity of such ordinance is the result of actions by the Sheriff's Department.
Otherwise than is stated in this agreement, CITY shall not be obliged to pay, and assumes no liability for any cost, expenditure, charge, or liability whatsoever incurred by COUNTY in or related to the performance of the provisions of this agreement by COUNTY, and COUNTY shall, in consideration for the payment of the sums herein above provided to be paid by CITY to COUNTY, hold CITY harmless from any and all such costs, expenditures, charges, or liabilities except as otherwise provided in this agreement. CITY shall not be liable for compensation or indemnity to any COUNTY employee for injury or sickness arising out of his or her employment while engaged in the performance of this agreement by COUNTY.
CITY shall hold COUNTY harmless for a reduction in law enforcement services resulting from labor relation actions and CITY'S obligation to pay COUNTY shall be reduced for services not performed for that reason.
V.
The term of this contract shall be a period of time commencing on January 1, 1994, and terminating only as hereinafter provided. This agreement may be terminated at any time with or without cause by CITY or by COUNTY upon written notice given to the other at least one (1) year before the date specified for such termination. Any such termination date shall coincide with the end of a calendar month. In the event of such termination, each party shall fully pay and discharge all obligations in favor of the other accruing prior to the date of such termination and each party shall be released from all obligations or performance which would otherwise accrue subsequent to the date of such termination. In the event of termination of this agreement, the COUNTY shall refund any sum previously paid by CITY, which when prorated represents advance payment for months of service which are not performed as a result of such termination. Neither party shall incur any liability to the other by reason of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Sheriff provides any services to CITY on a holdover basis after the date of contract termination, CITY shall fully reimburse COUNTY for all costs of providing such services.
COUNTY shall have the right to terminate this contract if CITY does not make timely payment of its obligations hereunder to COUNTY.

Any and all notices required to be given hereunder shall be given in writing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. The addresses of the parties hereto until further notice are as follows:
CITY: City of Grand Terrace

Grand Terrace, CA 92313
COUNTY: San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department

P. O. Box 569
San Bernardino, CA 92402-0569
VI.
The standards of performance, the methods of performance, the discipline of officers, the control of personnel, the advancement in compensation of personnel, the determination of proper law enforcement practices and procedures, and all other matters incidental to the manner of performance of services by Sheriff hereunder shall be determined by the Sheriff at his sole discretion. The responsibility of Sheriff and of COUNTY to CITY hereunder shall be to provide, as an independent contracting agency, effective law enforcement of the level herein contracted for, and the CITY shall not have the right to determine or direct the manner or means of the performance.
VII.
All persons directly or indirectly employed by COUNTY in the performance of the services and functions to be provided to CITY hereunder, shall be employees of COUNTY, and no COUNTY employees shall have CITY pension, civil service, or other status or right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in order to give official status to the performance of duties by Sheriff's personnel hereunder, every Sheriff's officer or employee engaged in performing any such service or function shall be deemed to be an officer of CITY while performing service for CITY within the scope of this agreement, and such service function shall be a municipal function.
An arrest made by Sheriff's personnel while engaged in the performance of this agreement shall constitute an arrest by an officer employed by CITY, and not an arrest by COUNTY officer, within the meaning of Section 1463 of the Penal Code and any similar or related statute.
VIII.
CITY shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this agreement to request a higher level of law enforcement than that herein contracted for, and within a reasonable time after such requests, COUNTY shall provide such additional personnel and vehicles as may be required to provide such additional law enforcement.
PAGE 4 of 6
In such event, all provisions of this agreement with respect to compensation to be paid by CITY shall remain in full force and effect, but in addition to payment of the sums herein provided, CITY shall pay COUNTY in monthly installments the cost of such additional law enforcement service.
IX.
In the event of riot, civil commotion, or other emergency in the CITY which requires additional emergency or "back-up" service, COUNTY shall provide the same.
In the event of authorized public gatherings in the CITY requiring additional police services, salaries and related costs shall be borne by CITY, except where such authorized public gatherings occur on state or federal property within the CITY limits, such additional costs shall not be chargeable against the CITY.
Not included in riots or related services are salaries or related costs of additional police services for authorized public gatherings. In the event of such an emergency outside of the corporate limits of CITY, personnel or equipment assigned by Sheriff to the performance of COUNTY'S duties hereunder may be utilized by COUNTY in connection with such emergency, however no more than fifty percent (50%) of available personnel and equipment may be assigned outside the CITY boundaries without the mutual agreement of the Sheriff and the City manager. In the event of a major emergency in the CITY and surrounding communities, Sheriff's personnel and equipment shall not be assigned outside the CITY boundaries at a level which would deter from the CITY'S ability to respond to the existing emergency. In cases where the City Manager or his or her designee cannot be consulted prior to such deployment, such advisement must be made to the City Manager's Office immediately or as soon as possible thereafter. In any case the City Manager must be personally informed of the situation immediately or as soon as possible thereafter. The CITY shall be reimbursed for any resultant service not performed.
X.
To facilitate the performance of services hereunder by COUNTY, CITY, its officers, agents, and employee shall give their full cooperation and assistance within the scope of the duties and responsibilities of such officers, agents, and employees.
CITY shall hold COUNTY, its Sheriff, officers, and employees harmless from any and all liability for intentional acts or negligence on the part of CITY, its officers and employees (excluding any employees of COUNTY engaged in the performance of municipal duties hereunder) arising out of the performance of this contract.
XI.
Sheriff shall be designated as the Chief of Police of CITY at all times during the term of this agreement.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
TITLE: Consideration of Approval of Amendment No. 10 to Waste Disposal Agreement No. 98-107 with the County of San Bernardino
PRESENTED BY: Konrad Bolowich, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT NO. 98-107 WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT THROUGH JUNE 30, 2035, ADJUSTING
THE WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT CONTRACT RATE TO 83% OF
THE COUNTY’S POSTED GATE RATE, AND ELIMINATING THE ANNUAL
ADJUSTMENT FORMULA
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensure our Fiscal Viability BACKGROUND:
The current Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) between the County of San Bernardino and the participating WDA member cities is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. In anticipation of the agreement expiration, representatives from the County Solid Waste Department and the participating cities began discussions regarding a successor agreement.
Following those initial discussions, the participating WDA cities formed an Ad Hoc Working Group consisting of representatives from the cities of Apple Valley, Highland, Rialto, Victorville, Yucaipa, and Yucca Valley to facilitate negotiations with the County on behalf of the member agencies. Over the past eight months, the Working Group has engaged in discussions with County Solid Waste staff regarding disposal rates, rate adjustment methodology, and term length for a proposed successor agreement.
As a result of those negotiations, the County and participating agencies developed Amendment No. 10 to the existing Waste Disposal Agreement. The amendment includes the following primary provisions:
• Extension of the agreement term through June 30, 2035; • Adjustment of the WDA disposal rate to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate; • Elimination of the current annual adjustment formula; and • Future rate adjustments only when the County’s posted gate rate changes. • The proposed agreement term aligns with the County’s existing agreement with Athens Services.
DISCUSSION:
Under the current agreement structure, disposal rates are capped at 85% of the County’s approved
public gate rate, excluding the current CDSDP recycling fee of $12.00 per ton. For Fiscal Year 2025– 26, rates are expected to remain capped at $42.07 per ton.
Under Amendment No. 10, the disposal rate would be adjusted to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate. Based on current projections, the Fiscal Year 2026–27 disposal rate would be approximately $41.08 per ton. Additionally, the amendment eliminates the prior annual adjustment methodology, resulting in future rate changes occurring only when the County modifies its posted gate rate.
The proposed amendment provides greater predictability and transparency regarding future disposal rate adjustments while maintaining the City’s continued participation in the regional disposal system.
Continued coordination among participating WDA member agencies also provides a stronger collective position regarding future discussions involving landfill operations, disposal fees, and agreements involving outside waste haulers utilizing County landfill facilities.
The amendment requires approval and execution by all participating WDA member agencies and the County of San Bernardino in order to become effective. If all participating agencies do not approve the amendment prior to June 30, 2026, the amendment becomes null and void pursuant to its terms.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This action does not meet the threshold of a project under CEQA and is exempt.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The current Fiscal Year 2025–26 disposal rate is projected to remain capped at $42.07 per ton under the existing agreement structure.Under the proposed amendment, the Fiscal Year 2026–27 disposal rate would be approximately $41.08 per ton, representing a reduction of approximately $0.99 per ton compared to the current capped rate. Actual fiscal impacts will depend on future disposal volumes and any future adjustments to the County’s posted gate rate.

RE: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
Dear Mr. Bolowich:
Pursuant to the Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) amendment effective July 1, 2016, Section 4.6 requires the County of San Bernardino Department of Public Works – Solid Waste Management Division (SWMD) to conduct an annual meeting with the WDA Cities/Towns to review the Annual Financial Statements from the County’s AuditorController/Treasurer/Tax Collector’s Office from the prior Fiscal Year.
Attached is a summary of the Annual Financial Statements for the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, for the cities’ review. Please note that SWMD’s net position increased by $20.9 million from Fiscal Year 2024 to 2025, primarily due to a delay in capital improvement projects (CIP), an increase in fair value of investments and higher than expected interest earnings. However, SWMD expects to spend over $133 million during the following two fiscal years on CIP, decreasing our net position by a commensurate amount.
After reviewing the summary, should the cities/towns desire to meet to discuss the statements, please contact Marc Rodabaugh at (909) 386-8701 to coordinate that effort.
Sincerely,

RE: FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 WASTE DELIVERY AGREEMENT (WDA) CONTRACT RATE
CALCULATION
Dear Mr. Bolowich:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you the FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 Final WDA rate of $42.07 per ton will be effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, for waste disposal services provided to your city pursuant to the WDA agreement with San Bernardino County.
The Department of Public Works – Solid Waste Management Division has calculated the Cost of Living Adjustment as prescribed in Amended Section 4.2(B) Calculation of Escalation of the amended WDA from June 2022 (Amendment). The Amendment provides that in no case will the adjustment to the WDA rate exceed 85% of the County’s approved general public gate rate (without the current CDSDP recycling fee of $12.00). On April 25, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved the current gate rate of $49.49 per ton.
No gate rate increase is proposed for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Therefore, the WDA rate for the upcoming fiscal year will remain capped at $42.07 per ton for 2025-26. The calculation worksheet is attached for your information.
The $42.07 per ton final Contract Rate will be applied to your July 2025 tonnage on your WDA credit accounts that will be billed approximately on August 15, 2025. If you have any questions about this notice or the rate calculation, please call me at (909) 386-8701 or Jennifer Munoz at (909) 387-1871.

AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO THE
WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT NO. 98-107
On February 24, 1998, the City of Grand Terrace (“City”) and the County of San Bernardino (“County”) entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (“WDA”). The parties hereby amend the WDA, on the Effective Date as provided herein, by their respective execution of this agreement (hereinafter “Amendment’).
Recitals
A. The parties have previously entered into the following amendments to the WDA. Amendment No. 1 to the WDA was to correct the designated disposal facilities for the City. Amendment No. 2 was to implement the “Article 19 Solid Waste” component of the County’s waste management system and define the City’s share of that revenue. Amendment No. 3 was to increase the annual maximum limits of “Article 19 Solid Waste” in the County landfill system. Amendment No. 4 allowed the County to charge the fee of $10.00 per ton (prorated) for identified controllable waste of the City (e.g., roll off container trucks and other County/City vehicles such as pickups and dump trucks) and have such waste subject to being processed in the recycling program. Amendment No. 5 allowed the County to calculate the annual cost of living adjustment earlier in the calendar year. Amendment No. 6 extended the end date of the WDA to June 30, 2016. Amendment No. 7 extended the term of the WDA to June 30, 2021, applied an annual fixed WDA renewal discount adjustment of $0.82 per ton for the term of the WDA, and allowed the County to enter into agreements to accept in-County waste from non-WDA users of the Disposal System at a rate lower than the WDA Contract Rate in exchange for sharing the net revenue generated from those agreements. Amendment No. 8 reset the WDA Contract Rate and extended the term for five (5) years to June 30, 2026. Amendment No. 9 capped the WDA Contract Rate in order to maintain a 15% buffer between the WDA Contract Rate and the County’s posted gate rate.
B. In connection with the ongoing administration of the WDA, the parties have determined it is now in their best interests to extend the term 9 years to June 30, 2035, adjust the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, and eliminate the provision for annual adjustments.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing recitals and the following covenants and promises the Parties agree as follows:
1. Section 4.2, entitled “CONTRACT RATE” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 4.2 CONTRACT RATE. Effective July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter during the term of the Agreement, the Contract Rate shall be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate effective that July 1st. For July 1, 2026, the County’s posted gate rate is $49.49 ($61.49 minus the $12 CDSDP fee); therefore, the WDA Rate, effective July 1, 2026, will be $41.08 per ton.
Please note that, due to timing, in future years where the gate rate is recommended to be increased, the WDA rate notification letter may be delayed until final approval of the gate rate by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Section 5.2, entitled “CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 5.2 CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION. In exchange for adjusting the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, the City agrees to commit to remaining a WDA City, with no provision to terminate without cause, for the remainder of the WDA Term.
3. Section 6.1, entitled “EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM”, paragraph (A) Term, is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 6.1. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM. (A) Term. This Agreement shall become effective, shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and the County from the Contract Date and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2035, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.
4. Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective if and only when all fifteen cities/towns listed on Exhibit A have each adopted and executed a counterpart of this Amendment No. 10 (the amendment number may differ for each city/town listed on Exhibit A) and such amendment has been adopted and executed by the County on or before June 30, 2026. In all events, the conditions in the forgoing sentence shall occur otherwise this Amendment No. 10 shall be null and void and without any effect whatsoever.
5. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Amendment.
The parties shall be entitled to sign and transmit an electronic signature of this Amendment (whether by facsimile, PDF or other email transmission), which signature shall be binding on the party whose name is contained therein. Each party providing an electronic signature agrees to promptly execute and deliver to the other party an original signed Amendment upon request.
6. Except as modified in this Amendment (or in any prior Amendment(s)) all other terms and conditions of the WDA shall remain in full force and effect.

TITLE: Professional Services Agreement Amendment No. 2 Between the City of Grand Terrace and HDL Companies for Business License Auditing and Administration Services
PRESENTED BY: Christine Clayton, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2 WITH HDL COMPANIES (HDL) FOR BUSINESS LICENSE AUDITING AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR A TERM OF 1 YEAR AND A
MAXIMUM COST OF $15,000.00; AND
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO
CITY ATTORNEY APPROVAL AS TO FORM
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensuring Our Fiscal Viability, by ensuring the City is receiving the business tax revenue to which it is entitled per City ordinance, while also exploring creative means to provide business license administrative services.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to ensure that all entities doing business with the City have obtained a business license and paid the proper amount of business tax, the Finance Department prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Business License Auditing and Administration Services in October 2020.
These services are specialized in nature and require comprehensive data analysis of records obtained from State agencies, such as the State Board of Equalization and the Franchise Tax Board.
In addition to performing an audit of the business license function, the RFP also requested proposals and pricing for ongoing administration services, to include processing of new applications, processing of annual renewals, and online filing and payment capability. These services were solicited in an effort to improve the City’s efficiency and offer more convenient online processing and payment options for the City’s businesses.
Following this evaluation process, staff selected HDL Companies as the company that would best meet the City’s objectives for Business License Auditing and Administration Services as identified in the RFP. The City signed an agreement with HDL Companies with a 5-year term that was set to expire October 2025. Amendment No. 1 to this agreement was passed by City Council on May 13, 2025 to extend the term for (1) additional year.
DISCUSSION:
It is City staff’s assessment that HDL provides adequate service for the City due to their local location, customer service reputation, and the implementation of Compliance Management Services. The proposed agreement is structured for ongoing administration and discovery/audit services as well, which are expected to provide enhanced efficiency and customer service due to HDL’s specialization
in this area. In particular, providing businesses with the ability to apply for a business license online, renew a business license online, and remit payment of the business tax online represents significant efficiencies for the City.
While a key objective of the Business License Audit and Administration Services is to ensure that all entities doing business with the City have a current business license and pay the correct amount of business tax, the compliance effort will be conducted in a manner to promote good relations with the City’s businesses. City staff and HDL staff work cooperatively throughout the process to provide prompt and comprehensive responses to any questions or concerns coming from businesses.
Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement for Business License Auditing and Administration Services extended the term of the contract for (1) additional year at the projected cost of $15,000.00 per fiscal year. Since this is based on the original cost estimate made in 2020, additional appropriations are also required to account for rising costs of services.
Staff is recommending that City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement Amendment No. 2 with HDL Companies for Business License Auditing and Administrative Services for a term of one (1) year for a maximum cost of $15,000.00.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
The term of the proposed agreement is one (1) year and will have a total not to exceed the amount of $15,000.00 over that period. This amount will be budgeted accordingly in the FY2026-27 Budget.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
TITLE: Second Reading & Adoption of an Ordinance – Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 – Agricultural Employee Housing (Housing Element Program 12) PRESENTED BY: Gabriel Arguelles, Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONDUCT SECOND
READING AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING CODE
AMENDMENT (ZCA) 26-01 AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (E) 26-05; AMENDING TITLE 18 (ZONING) OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE, INCLUDING CHAPTERS 18.53 (AG-1 AGRICULTURAL OVERLAY DISTRICT), 18.56 (AG-2 AGRICULTURAL OVERLAY DISTRICT); AND ADDING CHAPTER 18.58 (AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYEE HOUSING), TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAM 12 (EMPLOYEE HOUSING) OF THE CITY’S
2021–2029 HOUSING ELEMENT AND ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH
THE CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEE HOUSING ACT (HEALTH AND SAFETY
CODE SECTIONS 17021.5 AND 17021.6).
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This agenda staff report supports City Council Goal #5, “Engage in Proactive Communication,” by implementing Program 12 of the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element, maintaining consistency between the General Plan and the City’s Municipal Code, and providing clear and current development standards consistent with State housing law BACKGROUND:
The City Council conducted a duly noticed Public Hearing on May 12, 2026, for the aforementioned Ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 which is provided as Attachment 1. The May 12, 2026, agenda report on the introduction of this Ordinance is provided as Attachment 2. For this Ordinance to become effective, the City Council needs to conduct the second reading of the Ordinance to adopt it. Once the Ordinance is adopted, it will become effective in 30 days.
The Ordinance is included as Attachment 1, along with supporting materials including Exhibit A – Housing Programs (2021–2029 Housing Element), Exhibit B – Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5, and Exhibit C – Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6.
DISCUSSION:
To implement these State requirements and fulfill the City’s Housing Element obligations, staff prepared amendments to Title 18 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code to define agricultural employee housing, establish development standards, and provide a ministerial review process for qualifying projects.
Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 updates Title 18 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code to establish regulations for agricultural employee housing within the City. The amendment modifies Chapters 18.53 (AG-1 Agricultural Overlay District) and 18.56 (AG-2 Agricultural Overlay District), and adds a new chapter, Chapter 18.58 – Agricultural Employee Housing.
The amendments define agricultural employee housing, establish objective development standards, and create a ministerial review process consistent with the California Employee Housing Act. These updates ensure the City’s Zoning Code remains consistent with State law while providing a clear process for future agricultural employee housing projects within the City’s agricultural overlay districts.
Chapter 18.58 establishes several categories of agricultural employee housing, including small-scale permanent housing, large-scale permanent housing, seasonal housing, and temporary agricultural residences. The chapter also includes standards related to parcel size, unit size, utility service, emergency access, occupancy verification, and ongoing compliance.
These updates help implement Housing Element Program 12, bring the City’s Municipal Code into alignment with State law, and provide clear development standards for future agricultural and housing-related activities within the community.
CONCLUSION:
Adoption of this Ordinance (ZCA 26-01) will update the City's Municipal Code to implement Program 12 of the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element; and, update Title 18 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code to ensure consistency with the California Employee Housing Act and other applicable State housing laws. The updates establish clear definitions, development standards, and a ministerial review process for agricultural employee housing within the City’s agricultural overlay districts. These updates remove governmental constraints to housing, maintain consistency between the General Plan and the Municipal Code, and provide clear and current development standards for future projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The City has reviewed the Ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Ordinance consists of updates to the City’s Municipal Code to implement State housing law and does not approve any specific development project or authorize any physical improvements. Because the action involves regulatory text changes only, and it can be seen with certainty that the amendment will not result in a significant effect on the environment, the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), commonly referred to as the Common Sense Exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this Ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 is not expected to result in any direct fiscal impact to the City. The updates to the City’s Municipal Code ensure consistency with state law and does not approve any specific development project. Any future agricultural employee housing development would be processed through the City’s standard application, permitting, and cost recovery procedures.

WHEREAS, following the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt the ordinance approving ZCA 26-01; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the adoption of this ordinance will help remove governmental constraints to housing and facilitate the development of agricultural employee housing in accordance with Housing Element Program 12; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), because it can be seen with certainty that the ordinance will not result in a significant effect on the environment; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance is supported by applicable State law and the City’s Housing Element programs, including the Housing Programs of the City of Grand Terrace Housing Element (2021–2029) (EXHIBIT A), Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5 (EXHIBIT B), and Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6 (EXHIBIT C), all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
WHEREAS, notice of the City Council public hearing concerning this Ordinance was provided in accordance with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code, applicable provisions of State law, and the City’s adopted public hearing noticing requirements; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on May 12, 2026, to consider Zoning Code Amendment ZCA 26-01, received and considered all testimony and written evidence presented at the hearing, and determined that the amendment is consistent with the General Plan and the Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on May 26, 2026, conducted a second reading and adoption of the Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all the facts set forth in the above Recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof.
SECTION 2. Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written testimony by members of the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, staff reports and attachments) made at the Public Hearing, the City Council hereby finds that the Project “Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01” is not subject to environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as follows:
Finding: A project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Facts in Support of Finding: The City of Grand Terrace has reviewed the Zoning Code
CC Ord No. 377 Page 3 of 18 May 26, 2026
Amendment (ZCA 26-01) project with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”).
The proposed amendment modifies the Grand Terrace Municipal Code to define and permit Agricultural Employee Housing and establish ministerial approval procedures consistent with the California Employee Housing Act.
The ordinance is a regulatory zoning update that does not approve or authorize any specific development project or physical change to the environment. Instead, it establishes development standards and procedures applicable to future agricultural employee housing projects that may be proposed.
Because the ordinance establishes only regulatory provisions and does not authorize any physical development, it can be seen with certainty that adoption of the ordinance will not result in a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
SECTION 3. Based upon the foregoing and all oral and written testimony by members of the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, staff reports and attachments) made at the Public Hearing, the City Council determines the findings for Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 pursuant to Grand Terrace Municipal Code Section §18.90.040 can be made supporting the project application as follows:
1) Finding: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the City.
Facts in Support of Finding: ZCA 26-01 implements Housing Element Program 12 by establishing definitions, development standards, and ministerial approval procedures for Agricultural Employee Housing consistent with the California Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6). These provisions ensure that agricultural employee housing is developed in a manner that protects public health and safety while providing housing opportunities for agricultural workers. 2) Finding: The proposed amendment will not be: Injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
Facts in Support of Finding: The zoning code amendments establish objective development standards, including requirements related to parcel size, building size, setbacks, access, and infrastructure such as water and wastewater systems. These standards ensure that agricultural employee housing developments are compatible with surrounding land uses and will not adversely affect nearby properties. 3) Finding: The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest adopted general plan.
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed zoning amendments implement the City’s adopted Housing Element (2021–2029) by removing governmental constraints to agricultural employee housing and ensuring consistency with the California Employee
CC Ord No. 377 Page 4 of 18 May 26, 2026
Housing Act. The amendments support the goals and policies of the Housing Element by facilitating housing opportunities for agricultural workers while maintaining compatibility with agricultural land uses designated in the General Plan.

Housing Programs
This section describes the City’s housing programs for the 2021-2029 planning period, including the responsible agency, timeframe, funding source and objectives. It should be noted that where funding sources list “General Fund”, these may consist of in-kind staff services, expedited permit processing, and/or reduced permitting fees.
Programs to Provide Adequate Sites for Housing
Program 1 Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs To accommodate for a shortfall of sites and provide for adequate sites, the City is rezoning 97.3 total acres to allow for housing at a density of 20 – 40 du/acre. By upzoning for considerable capacity beyond the RHNA, the City is encouraging housing mobility, creating housing opportunity, and ensuring there is adequate capacity to meet the RHNA.
The City has identified 20 parcels (24.2 acres) from this rezone to meet the RHNA. Rezoned sites will comply with the requirements of Government Code Sec. 65583.2(h) which states that cities must have a program to facilitate by-right approval for projects that include at least 20 percent of the units for lower-income housing on rezoned low-income sites. Rezoned sites needed to meet the RHNA shall comply with the following:
• Permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households; • Accommodate a minimum of 16 units per site;
• Require a minimum density of 20 units per acre;
• Or, at least 50 percent of the lower-income need must be accommodated on sites designated for residential use only or on sites zoned for mixed uses that accommodate all of the very low and low-income housing need, if those sites allow 100 percent residential use, and require residential use occupy 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed-use project.
Additionally, the six RHNA sites with existing, single-family residential uses will be subject to a replacement housing policy. The replacement housing policy will comply with all provisions of Government Code section 65915, subdivision (c) (3).
Pursuant to the statutory requirements of Government Code Sections 65583.2(c), amend the Zoning Ordinance to require by-right approval of any “reuse” 4th and 5th Cycle sites being used to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA, if 20 percent of the units in the development are affordable to lowerincome households. There are four sites in the housing element that are subject to this provision, APNs 116720103, 027521109, 027641102, and 027641127.
Responsible Agency: Community Development
Objective: Rezone the identified 20 parcels (24.2 acres) with sufficient area and development standards to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation

Funding sources: General Fund, Filing fees
AFFH Themes: New Opportunities in High Resource Areas, Housing Mobility Program 2 No Net Loss and Adequate Sites Reporting
Pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 166 (No Net Loss), the City must always maintain adequate sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA requirement. The City will monitor the entitlement and production of housing sites to ensure the remaining unmet RHNA by each income category is maintained at all times. Findings have to be made to reduce density/downzone a potential housing site to show that there are still adequate sites available to meet RHNA in a specific income category or a rezone has to occur within 180 days to accommodate the net loss of RHNA in said income category.
The City will develop a procedure by October 2024, to track:
• Unit count and income/affordability assumed on parcels included in the sites inventory. • Actual units constructed and income/affordability when parcels are developed. • Net change in capacity and summary of remaining capacity in meeting remaining RHNA.
The City will conduct a mid-cycle review of units built and capacity to meet the RHNA in 2026.
If the entitled projects are not anticipated to be completed during the 6th Cycle at this time, the City will identify additional sites from the larger rezone efforts described above in Program 1Programs to Provide Adequate Sites for Housing and/or programs to adequately meet the RHNA.
Responsible Agency: Community Development
Objective: Ensure compliance with SB 166
