Do you live in Grand Terrace?
Do you have an "Interest in Grand Terrace"?
Do you think you can serve as a Member of the City Council?
Now is the time to run for City Council. Two Council Seats are open for election. One is the Jim Miller Seat and the other is the Bea Cortes Seat. If Walt S. is elected to the position of Mayor his seat traditionally would be filled by an appointment for the remainder of that seat's term.
So in truth we are in need of 3 citizens who have no conflict of interest or business interests doing business with City Hall.
Why should you spend 4 hours 2 times a month serving on the City Council. Well the community needs some one to use oversight control over the hired City Manager and City Staff. Of course there could be more than the City Council Meetings to attend.
In the past:
City Council Members are provided trips and memberships to organizations that "Train" them to use Eminent Domain and Redevelopment Agency Funds and Schemes to run a city.
City Council Members were/are provided a travel cost reimbursement of 200.00 per month with out being required to prove the expenditure
City Council Members receive a stipend for every City Council Meeting they attend.
City Council Members receive CALPERS (Retirement Credits) and Medical / Dental Insurance as if they City Employees.
Now with the new budget limits there may be some cut back in the financial benefits of being on the City Council but there is not a cut back on the need for an active thinking and discerning Council to review and question the major decisions and actions taken by the City Manager and City Staff.
GRAND TERRACE NEEDS YOU...
