In an effort to conduct municipal elections in an efficient and cost-effective manner while complying with all state regulations pertaining to municipal elections, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters has conducted the City’s General Municipal Elections since incorporation. In order to request the services of the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters Office for the upcoming November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election, the City Council must adopt resolutions calling and giving notice, requesting the County services, and setting regulations for candidate statements.
DISCUSSION:
On November 3, 2026, the City of Grand Terrace will hold its General Municipal Election to elect one (1) Mayor and (1) Council Member for a full term of four years. The nomination period begins on July 13, 2026, and will close on August 7, 2026. Only candidates wishing to submit a candidate statement will be required to pay a deposit of $800.00 to cover the cost of printing the statement in the sample ballots provided.

The adopted Resolutions need to be submitted to the County no later than June 15,
2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The County of San Bernardino Registrar of Voters has estimated the cost of services provided to the City of Grand Terrace for the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election at the amount of approximately $39,760.00 if the City submits a ballot measure with the General Municipal Election to elect one (1) Mayor Council and (1) Council Member.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
TITLE: Approval of Amendment to the Fire Hazard Abatement Services Agreement with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District PRESENTED BY: Konrad Bolowich, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE FIRE
HAZARD ABATEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF GRAND TERRACE, THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO, AND THE
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT,
AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE FIRE
HAZARD ABATEMENT PROGRAM FROM THE COUNTY LAND USE
SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT AND EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE
AGREEMENT THROUGH JUNE 30, 2031
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensure our Fiscal Viability and Goal #2, Maintain Public Safety BACKGROUND:
Since 2010, the City of Grand Terrace has contracted with the County of San Bernardino for administration and enforcement of the City's Fire Hazard Abatement Program. The agreement was originally approved by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors on August 24, 2010, and has provided inspection, notification, enforcement, and abatement services related to hazardous vegetation, weeds, and combustible debris that may pose a fire risk within the City.
The Fire Hazard Abatement Program assists the City in meeting its responsibility to reduce wildfire and fire-related risks by identifying properties with hazardous vegetation or combustible materials and ensuring that those hazards are properly abated. The program is particularly important during periods of elevated fire danger and serves as an important component of the City's overall public safety and risk reduction efforts.
The County has recently reorganized administration of the program and is transferring responsibility for the Fire Hazard Abatement Program from the County Land Use Services Department to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. To facilitate this transition, the County, the Fire Protection District, and participating cities are executing amendments to the existing agreements assigning all responsibilities, obligations, and authority under the agreement to the Fire Protection District.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendment accomplishes three primary objectives:
1. Transfers administration of the Fire Hazard Abatement Program from the County Land Use Services Department to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.
2. Extends the term of the agreement through June 30, 2031.
3. Updates administrative contact information and formally assigns all rights, obligations, and responsibilities under the existing agreement to the Fire Protection District.
The amendment does not change the scope of services provided to the City. The Fire Protection District will continue performing the same inspection, notification, enforcement, and abatement coordination services that have historically been provided through the County's Land Use Services Department.
Additionally, there is no change in the City's cost structure or financial obligations under the agreement. The amendment is administrative in nature and serves primarily to memorialize the County's internal reorganization and transfer of program administration to the agency most directly responsible for fire prevention and community risk reduction activities.
Staff believes the transition is logical and appropriate given the Fire Protection District's expertise in fire prevention, vegetation management, and hazard mitigation activities. The amendment will ensure continuity of service while maintaining the City's longstanding participation in the County's regional Fire Hazard Abatement Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Approval of this agreement amendment is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because it is an administrative activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of the amendment. The amendment does not increase costs, modify service levels, or alter the City's existing financial obligations under the agreement.

MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
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 $20,000.00; 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 $20,000.00.
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 $20,000.00 over that period. This amount is budgeted accordingly and will be coded to account 10- 140-250-000-000.

TITLE: Commitment of Fund Balance for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in Accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54 and City Reserves Policy No. 3.06
PRESENTED BY: Christine Clayton, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, COMITTING FUND BALANCE FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STATEMENT 54 AND CITY
RESERVES POLICY NO. 3.06
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports City Council Goal #1, “Ensuring Our Fiscal Viability,” through the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against approved budget appropriations and providing City Council scheduled updates on the City’s fiscal condition.
BACKGROUND:
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. Statement 54 is designed to modify fund balance reporting in governmental funds with the intention to improve financial reporting by providing fund balance categories and classifications that will be more easily understood by the users of our annual financial statements.
Fund balance refers to the difference between assets (what the City owns) and liabilities (what the City owes) in the governmental balance sheet. Users of governmental financial statements examine fund balance information to identify the available resources of the governmental entity. Statement 54 sets criteria for fund balance reporting that more clearly defines categories of fund balance. With more concisely defined categories, the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance are clearer and more transparent.
DISCUSSION:
FUND BALANCE
To establish uniformity, GASB Statement 54 created five new classifications of fund balance. Each classification depicts the relative strength of the spending constraint for which the resources can be used. From most to least constrained, the classifications of fund balance are:
1. Non-spendable: Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form (inventory, for example) or are required to be maintained intact (the principal of an endowment fund, or deposits for example).
2. Restricted: Restricted fund balance includes amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grant providers, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation (balances in special revenue funds are restricted fund balances since their amounts are restricted for a specific purpose).
3. Committed: Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making authority, in this case, City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by City Council through the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. As approved by City Council in the previous year, the City’s General Fund committed fund balances consisted of:
1. Contingencies;
2. Community Projects/Services;
3. Public Safety; and
4. Equipment Replacement (Fixed Asset Fund).
4. Assigned: Assigned fund balance comprises amounts intended to be used by the governing body (City Council) for specific purposes. The intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the governing body delegates the authority. In this case, staff is requesting that the City Council delegate to the City Manager and/or the Finance Director the authority to assign fund balance. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the amount that is not restricted or committed. This indicates that resources in other governmental funds are intended to be used for the purpose of that fund.
5. Unassigned: Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the general fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. If another governmental fund has a fund balance deficit, then it will be reported as a negative amount in the unassigned classification in that fund.
Positive unassigned amounts will be reported only in the general fund.
SUB-FUNDS
City staff established several funds for various programs and activities that staff believed should be recorded and tracked separately from the General Fund for ease of reporting to management and City Council. With the implementation of Statement 54, these funds would be combined with the General Fund’s (Fund 10) fund balance for reporting purposes in the annual financial statements according to the GASB policy; however, City staff will continue to provide internal separate fund reports to City Council for transparency. The funds that will be reported as the collective “General Fund” in the City’s annual financial statements include:
1. General Fund (Fund 10)
2. Community Benefits Fund (Fund 61)
3. Light Up Grand Terrace Fund (Fund 62)
4. GT Illegal Fireworks Enforcement Fund (Fund 63)
5. Public Safety Fund (Fund 64)
6. Community Day Fund (69)
7. Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund (Fund 70)
As stated in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the General Fund (for purposes of the City’s financial statements) which combines all seven (7) funds listed above into one fund, should maintain a reserve equal to two (2) months of operating revenues (estimates based on budgeted revenues).
The table below shows the collective fund balance of the General Fund and as it relates to the GAAP minimum balance requirement as of June 30, 2026:

INTRODUCTION
The City Council of the City of Grand Terrace (the “City”) adopted its General Plan with various elements to provide guidelines for orderly development within the community.
The City Council further adopted ordinances and regulations governing the development of land providing for the installation and construction of certain landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities to enhance the quality of life and to benefit the value of property.
The requirement for the construction and installation of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities is a condition of approval for development and is a requirement of issuance of a permit for the construction of any residential, commercial, industrial and planned unit development. The installation of landscaping and lighting systems and the construction of the necessary appurtenant facilities is the responsibility of the property owner/applicant, as conditions of approval of a development application. The City may cause the installation by property owners directly or accept financial arrangements for installation of these facilities. The cost of servicing, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities in turn becomes the responsibility of the benefiting properties.
The owners/applicants petitioned for formation of the Landscaping Lighting Assessment District and/or annexation. These have been completed and will increase the City’s obligation for maintenance and servicing.
The City is administering a lighting system for the benefit of all parcels of land within the City. The lighting benefit is directly related to public safety and property protection. These benefits have been studied widely, locally, regionally and nationally.
The City formed Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 89-1 (the “District”) in 1989 and subsequently annexed other parcels as Annexation No. 1, Annexation No. 2 Annexation No. 3, Annexation No. 4, and Annexation No. 5 to said District to ensure a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of servicing and maintenance of the respective facilities, which in turn will enhance the value of each parcel in the District directly and collectively.
The boundaries of the District, which include Annexations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the boundaries of Zone 1 - Tract 13364 filed in Map Book 203, Pages 89 through 92, Records of San Bernardino County (the “County”). The boundaries of Zone 2 - Tract 14264 and Zone 3 – Tract 14471 filed in Map Book 242, Pages 17 and 18, Zone 4 – Tract 17766 filed in Map Book 237, Pages 41 and 42, and Zone 5 – Tract 18793 filed in Map Book 115, Pages 81-82. The boundaries of Zone 6 – Tract 18071 and Zone 7 –18604 filed in Map Book 1178 Page 18 and Map Book 1167 Page 34, respectively, of the County.
Servicing and administration of the City’s landscape maintenance program shall be according to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California (the “1972 Act”).
Payment for the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 2
same time as payments are made for property taxes for each property.
The proceedings will be conducted under the 1972 Act Sections 22500 through 22679.
This Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) is presented for the purpose of levy of annual assessment to the above-described properties for the purpose of maintaining the lighting and landscaping during the Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
This Report contains the necessary data required to conduct the proceedings and is submitted to the Clerk of the City for filing.
The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the San Bernardino County (the “County”) Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and a dedicated fund number established for the District to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll and the allocation of the funds collected.
This Report consists of the following sections:
Section I
Plans and Specifications: Description of the District's improvements are filed herewith and made a part hereof. Said plans and specifications are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
Section II
Method of Apportionment: A discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the overall landscaping street lighting improvements provided within the District (Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis). This section also includes a determination of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit.
Section III
Estimate of Improvement Costs: An estimate of the cost of the proposed improvements, including incidental costs and expenses in connection therewith, is as set forth on the lists thereof, attached hereto, and are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 3
Section IV
Assessment Diagrams: A diagram showing the boundaries of the District is provided in this Report and includes all parcels that receive special benefits from the improvements.
Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel and subdivision of land within the District, are inclusive of all parcels as shown on the County Assessor's Parcel Maps as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and shall include all subsequent subdivisions, lot-line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District.
Section V
Assessment Roll: A listing of the proposed assessment amount for each parcel within the District. The proposed assessment amount for each parcel is based on the parcel’s calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in the method of apportionment and proposed assessment rate established in the District Budget. These assessment amounts represent the assessments proposed to be levied and collected on the County Tax Rolls for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

In an effort to ensure an appropriate allocation of the estimated annual cost to provide the District improvements based on proportional special benefits, this District is established with benefit zones (“Zones”) as authorized pursuant to Chapter 1 Article 4, Section 22574 of the 1972 Act:
“The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements.” The parcels, lots, subdivisions and developments within the District are identified and grouped into one of seven (7) Zones. Each Zone reflects the landscape improvements associated with the development of properties in that Zone, to fairly and equitably apportion the net cost of providing those improvements to the properties that receive special benefits from the service and activities associated with those improvements. All of the parcels in the District are identified as single-family residential properties within three residential developments. These residential developments have been grouped into seven different Zones that reflect each specific budget and improvements for that particular Zone. By establishing and utilizing a Zone structure, similar properties with similar types of improvements will be assessed a proportional amount for the services and activities provided by the District within each respective Zone.
The improvements are the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities described as follows:
Zone 1 - Tract 13364

Section II. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and servicing of street lighting improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formulas used for calculating assessments reflect the composition of parcels within the District (which are all residential properties) and the improvements and activities to be provided and have been designed to fairly apportion costs based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel within each Zone, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Article XIID”). For each Zone within the District, each parcel represents one (1) Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”).
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 9
The following formula is used to arrive at the levy amount for each parcel within each Zone:
Levy per EBU (rate) x Parcel’s EBU = Parcel Levy Amount Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis
The costs of the proposed improvements for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed are public street lighting and landscaping improvements. These improvements generally were installed in connection with the development of the properties within the District. Article XIIID Section 2(d) defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”; Article XIIID Section 2(i) defines Special benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over, and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Benefit Analysis
Special Benefit
The special benefits properties within the District will receive from the proposed improvements include, but are not limited to:
Improved aesthetic appeal of nearby properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
Enhanced adaptation of adequate green space, trees, and amenities within the urban environment.
Total Balance to Levy = Levy per EBU
Total EBU
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 10 Increased sense of pride in ownership of properties within the District resulting from their association with well-maintained improvements. Enhanced quality of life and working environment within the area that is promoted by well-maintained landscaped areas and amenities. Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities within public areas.
Increased social opportunities and leisure activities for customer’s residents and families, provided by a well-maintained neighborhood destination place for relaxation, socializing, and entertainment that is within easy walking distance.
Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.
The preceding special benefits contribute to the overall aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement to these properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the improvements would ultimately result in the deterioration of the improvements and facilities, which in turn could negatively impact the properties within the District. As such, the annual costs of ensuring the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements are considered a distinct and special benefit to the properties within the District and are therefore considered the financial obligation of those properties. The cost of any improvement or portion thereof that is considered to be of general benefit shall not be included as part of the special benefit assessments allocated to properties within the District.
General Benefit
In the absence of a special funding District, the City would typically provide only weed abatement and erosion control services for landscaped areas. The cost to provide this baseline level of service is approximately $0.01 per square foot for landscape areas that require maintenance. Zone 1 – Tract 13364 has approximately 29,100 square feet of landscape space, Zone 2 – Tract 14264 has no landscaping area that the City maintains and Zone 3 – Tract 14471 has approximately 9,045 square feet of landscape space, Zone 4 – Tract 17766 has approximately 3,856 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 5 – Tract 18793 has approximately 4,668 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 6 – Tract 18071 has approximately 61,750 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 7 – Tract 18604 has approximately 3,239 square feet of landscaped space. The proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 show the general benefit amount which will be deducted from the cost of maintenance to arrive at a net special benefit assessment rate.
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 11 Assessment Methodology
This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments. These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes.
The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.
To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District.
Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (the Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments.
As part of the District formation, balloting of property owners is required pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4. The property owner ballots include an Assessment to be
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 12 approved, as well as the approval of an assessment range formula.
The assessment range formula for District assessments may be applied to future assessments within the District commencing with Fiscal Year 2018/2019 for Zone 4 – Tract 17766 and Zone 5 – Tract 18793, Fiscal Year 2019/2020 for Zone 6 – Tract 18071 and Fiscal Year 2020/2021 for Zone 7. Zone 1 – Tract 13364, Zone 2 – Tract 14264 and Zone 3 – Tract 14471 do not have an increase in assessments. The following describes the assessment range formula:
The Maximum Assessment is equal to the initial Assessment approved by property owners adjusted annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) plus two percent (2%). As of January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “BLS”) split the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area for all Urban Consumers to Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area.
Each fiscal year, the Maximum Assessment will be recalculated, and a new Maximum Assessment established. Currently, the District uses the Annual Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CPI index to compute the CPI difference each year. For Fiscal Year 2026/2027, the percentage difference is 3.281%. Therefore, the Maximum Assessment will increase by 5.281%.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the annual budgets and proposed assessments established for each Zone of the District. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment (for each Zone) is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is much greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
2026/2027 City of Grand Terrace L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 13 Section III. ESTIMATE OF IMPROVEMENT COSTS
In accordance with Streets and Highways Code Section 22660(a), the City Council has determined that the estimated cost of certain proposed improvements, described in Section 22525, subdivisions (a) through (d), are greater than can conveniently be raised from a single assessment, and, as a result, shall be collected in installments and held in a reserve account. In particular, Zone 1, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5, Zone 6, and Zone 7 require trimming and pruning landscaping services that are proposed to be performed every five years. The proposed assessment includes a budgeted amount for trimming and pruning to collect for these services.
The following outlines the budget to fund the District improvements based on the improvements to be maintained and the associated incidental expenses for Fiscal Year 2026/2027, resulting in the proportional assessments calculated for each parcel that will be applied to the County Tax Rolls for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The cost of maintaining improvements for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 are summarized as follows:

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
TITLE: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Formalizing Public Works Standard Plans and Streetlight Design Standards
PRESENTED BY: Shanita Tillman, Sr. Management Analyst
RECOMMENDATION: CONDUCT THE SECOND READING AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE ADOPTING
PUBLIC WORKS STANDARD PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND
STREETLIGHT DESIGN STANDARDS.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1: Ensure Our Fiscal Viability by establishing clear and consistent engineering standards that reduce administrative inefficiencies and support cost-effective project delivery.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace does not currently maintain a formally adopted set of Public Works Standard Plans and Specifications. In practice, the City has historically relied on the San Bernardino County Standard Plans and Specifications to support plan review, capital improvement projects, and development-related improvements.
While these standards are already used operationally, they have not been formally adopted by ordinance, which limits enforceability and creates potential inconsistencies.
In addition, the County standards do not include streetlight design criteria. To address this gap, the proposed ordinance formalizes the City's use of:
• The San Bernardino County Public Works Standard Plans and Specifications for civil infrastructure; and
• The City of Ontario Standard Drawings for street lighting, including associated conduit and electrical components specific to streetlight infrastructure, specifically Standard Drawings 5101 through 5108.
On May 26, 2026, the City Council conducted the first reading and introduction of the proposed ordinance. No substantive changes have been made since introduction, and the ordinance is now before the City Council for second reading and adoption.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed ordinance formalizes the City's use of the San Bernardino County Public Works
Standard Plans and Specifications and the City of Ontario Streetlight Standard Drawings as the City's adopted engineering standards.
The ordinance received its first reading and introduction on May 26, 2026. No substantive changes have been made since introduction. Adoption of the ordinance will establish clear and enforceable standards for public infrastructure improvements and streetlight design within the City.
Exhibit A contains the Table of Contents of the San Bernardino County Standard Plans and Specifications, which are incorporated by reference and maintained on file with the City Clerk and available on the City's website. Exhibit B contains the applicable City of Ontario Streetlight Standard Drawings.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The proposed ordinance is not a project under CEQA and will not result in any physical impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of this ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO. XXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS STANDARD PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS,
AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE CITY OF ONTARIO
STREETLIGHT STANDARDS FOR USE IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace does not currently maintain its own comprehensive set of public works standard plans and specifications for infrastructure improvements; and
WHEREAS, in practice, the City of Grand Terrace has historically utilized the San Bernardino County Standard Plans and Specifications in public works projects and formal procurement documents; and
WHEREAS, developing and maintaining a fully customized set of city-specific standards would require technical resources and funding that are not presently available; and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer, currently contracted part-time, is not equipped or credentialed to create or certify a complete set of original standard plans beyond his or her core area of expertise; and
WHEREAS, the San Bernardino County standards represent regionally recognized and widely used engineering practices, providing a consistent and efficient framework for public infrastructure within the San Bernardino County; and WHEREAS, the San Bernardino County standards do not include streetlight specifications; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ontario’s streetlight design standards are suitable for the City of Grand Terrace; and
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace now desires to adopt by reference the San Bernardino County Public Works Standard Plans and Specifications and designate the City of Ontario’s streetlight design standards as the City of Grand Terrace’s adopted standard for streetlight infrastructure.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the recitals in this Ordinance are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Adoption of San Bernardino County Standards. The City hereby adopts, by reference, the San Bernardino County Standard Plans and Specifications, as shown in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this
01247.0001 2109360.1 Page 2 of 3
Ordinance. These standards shall serve as the City’s primary standard for all public works improvements, including roadway, drainage, and civil infrastructure. A copy of Exhibit A shall be kept on file in the City Clerk’s Office and made available for public inspection.
SECTION 3. Adoption of City of Ontario Streetlight Standards. The City further adopts, by reference, the City of Ontario Standard Drawings for street lighting, including associated conduit and electrical components specific to streetlight infrastructure, specifically Standard Drawings 5101 through 5108, as shown in Exhibit B, which is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Ordinance. These standards shall serve as the City’s official design standards for streetlight improvements. A copy of Exhibit B shall be kept on file in the City Clerk’s Office and made available for public inspection.
SECTION 4. Interpretation, Conflict Resolution, and Engineer Authority. In the event of a conflict between adopted standards, the San Bernardino County Standard Plans shall govern for roadway, drainage, and civil improvements, and the City of Ontario Standard Drawings shall govern for street lighting and associated infrastructure, unless otherwise determined by the City Engineer.
Traffic control devices, including signage, pavement markings, and striping, shall conform to the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), as may be amended from time to time. Where no adopted standard applies, the City Engineer is authorized to determine appropriate design criteria based on accepted engineering practices, including Caltrans standards.
The City Engineer shall have the authority to interpret, apply, and approve deviations or supplements to the adopted standards as necessary to meet site-specific or project-specific conditions, and may issue administrative guidance or technical bulletins consistent with sound engineering practices.
SECTION 5. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment. Alternatively, even if deemed a project, this action is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of regional public works standards will have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentences, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional due to the writs of mandate issued by the Court.
SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
01247.0001 2109360.1 Page 3 of 3
this Ordinance and cause the same to be published or posted in the manner required by law.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace at a regular meeting held on the 9th day of June, 2026. _____________________________

PRESENTED BY: Christine Clayton, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports City Council Goal #1 "Ensure of Fiscal Viability" through the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against approved budget appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
In prior years, staff has submitted, for City Council’s review and approval, the proposed budget for the upcoming year. Once approved, this document has served as the City's financial plan for the following year and acts as the basis for budgetary control.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26, City Council approved a one-year budget, with any adjustments submitted for the FY2025-26 budget, during the current year.
An annual budget allows the city to:
1. Improve financial management,
2. Greater flexibility to respond to our confusing and uncertain environment,
3. Greater ability to shift resources because of service level demands; and
4. Quickly Reallocation and redeploy resources.

FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
The City continues to receive optimistic sales tax projections that build on the success from prior and current year sales tax growth. Staff continues to meet with our property and sales tax consultants (HdL) to monitor quarterly sales tax trends.
Revenues:
1. Property Tax projections: Were provided by HdL with funds being received in the amount of $4,1450,000; and
2. Property Tax VLF swap projections: Were provided by HdL in the amount of $2,370,000; and
3. Sales Tax projections: HdL projects sales tax revenue for FY2026-27 in the amount of $1,350,000.
Expenditures:
1. For the Sheriff’s Department, the proposed contract amount is $3,061,144, which is a 13.6% increase from fiscal year 2025-26, which equates to $366,766. The contract proposes the addition of a Sheriff's Service Specialist and in personnel liability and bonding.
2. Under Public Works, the addition of a Senior Management Analyst with costs ranging from $140,000 to $163,200.
3. General Fund Maintenance of Effort: The City receives Measure “I” funds (1/2 cent sales tax collected throughout San Bernardino County for transporation improvements - $332k) and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) funds ($330k) into the RMRA Fund for use on local street and road systems. The term “Maintenance of Effort” (MOE) generally refers to a requirement placed upon state and federally funded grant programs that requires local cities and counties to maintain general fund spending for streets and roads either through a certain percentage or formula, which may include the local agency’s history of past spending on street rehabilitation and/or maintenance.

Expenditures ($10,130,887)
Fund Balance $1,813
There is no liquidation of assets that will impact the Fund Balance. The projected revenues are greater than the projected expenditures. This is consistent with the City Council’s policy to not fund ongoing expenses with one-time revenue.
CITY-WIDE PROPOSED FY2026-27 BUDGET
The total Proposed Budget for FY2026-27 is $13,536,431 in revenues and $14,544,305 in expenditures. The overage of expenditures versus revenues is due to a one-time expenditure for traffic signals. Revenues from Fund 25 - Spring Mountain Ranch that were received in prior years will offset these expenditures.
The City’s Proposed Budget, which is presented for City Council’s review and consideration, • Supports the City’s mission, vision, core values and goals by preserving and protecting the community and its exceptional quality of life; and
