It's been done before.....
Businesses In Grand Terrace
All Home Child Care Licenses, All Garden and Yard Services, All Contractors Painting, and Putting In Swimming Pools, and all Home Based Businesses should be listed. WHY... well for one these businesses may benefit from more business from the Local Market Place. Why when a business does business in GT without a License it does so without paying taxes. When a business is in Grand Terrace and Provides Services and or Product to Customers in Grand Terrace the Environment is helped by cutting down the added transportation or fuel cost of those who drive to Grand Terrace.
A healthy economy circulates the money within the local economy. The longer money circulates within Grand Terrace the better or more sustainable the community.
Finally if a Sticker or Placard could be issued to all Garden or Workmen that would indicate an "Approved Licensed" Operator in GT, it may aid in identifying those who are not doing gardening but looking to break in to homes, deal drugs or other activities that happen during the day, and weekends. It is interesting how many pools are dug and finished on the weekend, one wonders if there is a permit on file... or if the business is licensed in the City of Grand Terrace.
As we see more and more arrests for drug use, and transportation and sales we should try to target or be aware of those in our community who are lurkers, folks that are just lurking around, or even looking like they are working but aren't really... These are the folks the Citizen Patrol should be watching.

It is Time:
So... IF the Property is in Colton or Grand Terrace or in San Bernardino County's Jurisdiction, there should be an Abatement Order/Ticket and the matter should go to court. A letter writing campaign... we know how little the City Council Listens to Signed Petitions and Letters. They only hear Court Cases when brought before a JUDGE.
So Mr. Berry it is time to get off the pot and do the paper work. Write the Rail Road An Abatement Order, for causing and sustaining a public nuisance and eyesore. Perhaps you can start an Eminent Domain Case as it is clearly a case of Blight Outbreak. Send them a notice that you'll paint it and will add it to their property tax bill.
Goats or Pay Raises... Well, we are just so close..
The Freeway Slope the hillside descending to Colton should also be goat maintained. Just because it hasn't happened yet does not mean we should not prepare and prevent a hazard we know we live with daily and in extremes during drought and winds at a higher level. Perhaps even rethinking the Fireworks Issue should be revisited. Notice the Sports Teams have made NO Effort to raise funds other than Fireworks so far this year. In addition the justification that they can only involve the children in ONE Fund Raiser and Fireworks Works is FICTION, Children are not allowed to sell Fireworks.
One would hope the Governor would see the need to eliminate fireworks as a unreasonable risk for the entire state. That way the City Council would be relived of having to do what may be a difficult but right decision. It is time concerned citizens write the Governor to ban all fireworks, and promote safety and precaution. This is a Security Issue. In the Past Month we have seen fires, in Freeway Tunnels, and On the Land, cause economic impact and transportation interruptions. We do not need to add to the mess by our "Entertainment".
Power lines snap, fall
By Melissa Pinion-Whitt, Staff Writer
http://www.dailybulletin.com/news/ci_7294516
COLTON - Snapped 115,000-volt power lines dropped onto the 215 Freeway and a gas station Friday morning, knocking out electricity to about 320,000 residents and businesses, including the entire city of Riverside.
A fireball burst from a line that fell at the Iowa Avenue Shell station near the 215 Freeway, sending customers running for safety, witnesses said.
"The two wires hit the store and one hit a car," said Abdul Gafor, station manager. "The (driver) got so scared he took off."
One customer getting coffee inside the store ran over to a nearby Jack in the Box, afraid that the combination of high voltage and gasoline would be disastrous.
Southern California Edison officials were investigating what caused the lines, both in Colton and at the Vista substation in Grand Terrace, to snap.
About 20,000 SCE customers in Moreno Valley and Riverside were affected by the outage, but Steve Conroy, SCE spokesman, said the outages stretched along the 215 as far as San Bernardino. Most customers in SCE's service area had power restored by about 8 a.m.
Riverside, which provides its own power, remained in the dark until 11:15 a.m., said Tom DeSantis, assistant city manager. The city has about 300,000 residents.
SCE's transmission grid cut the city's power grid when the lines snapped, DeSantis said.
The city opened its Emergency Operations Center and had employees stay longer to handle any problems. But other than an increase in traffic accidents at intersections with dark traffic signals, DeSantis said there were no major problems that he had heard of. Out of the city's 360 traffic signals, 150 have battery backup power.
The downed power lines did create a problem for 215 Freeway commuters, who found themselves weaving through Grand Terrace and Riverside after the California Highway Patrol shut down both sides of the freeway.
About a 10-mile stretch of the 215 Freeway was closed while SCE, Colton firefighters and police came to the scene. Traffic on both sides of the closure backed up several miles, Caltrans officials said. A couple of small brush fires ignited along the freeway from the downed power lines. The freeway was reopened at 8:22 a.m.

Close Meeting Results: IN THE NEWS
Nineteen city employees are getting pay raises.
The city conducted a survey that showed severalemployees, particularly department heads, to be considerably behind the salary average of their counterparts in surrounding cities, said City Manager Tom Schwab. Four department heads will get raises averaging 15 percent. The rest of the employees will get hikes ranging from 7 to 10 percent, Schwab said. The increase take effect Nov. 5. Stephen.wall@sun.com
Gramps Suggests:
To compare the Salary average of GT City Employees, Particularly the Department Heads is a flawed policy and procedure. WHAT CITIES were compared with. DO those cities provide half of the employees Child Care Expenses? Have every other Friday off? Have only a hand full of people to supervise and a very small city to manage? No I doubt it. The Child Care Workers should get a 15 percent raise, as the ground crews, and the Department Heads should get a 3 percent raise. This is an example of the Richer Getting Richer, and the Poor getting Poorer. The Department Heads know where the problems are, so they have to be kept happy and quiet. The Grunts of the City well they don't need much. Heck how many of them can even afford to live in Grand Terrace? Apparently the City Manager needs a House provided to him by the City and a salary that is approaching 200,000.00 with all the perks added into it.
Where is the money coming from to pay for these increases. Yep, more reason to force unwanted businesses and "Taxes" upon the citizens of Grand Terrace.
Now what we don't know as the public, How is the City going to Represent US in Court. Are they going to spend more money defending flawed decisions and plans? Or are they going to relocate the Senior Center to the Site Suggested in their own EIR?

UPDATE:From In the NEWS:
The air may smell better, but it is still not all good for you... Be careful,
From In The NEWS:
Air quality remained poor in the central San Bernardino Mountains and parts of the San Bernardino Valley, as well as swaths of Orange and Riverside Counties. In San Diego County, where only two of five major fires were more than 50 percent contained, the air was especially dismal Friday.
Gramps adds:
The above was from an AP article... this morning.... the air is still bad out there folks... better but still bad... Please limit your activity and if you do have to be out in it,,, a mask and work slow... and be aware of any breathing problems.
Dumpster day is going on... Perhaps there can be another one in January...

Opinion on Air from "Expert" not Gramps
http://www.dailybulletin.com/ci_7256605?source%253Dmost_emailed.26978592730A3B8C7F471EACE0DA4EF2.html
Michael Sorba, Staff Writer
A warning to take precautions because of unhealthy air in the Inland Empire was issued Monday by San Bernardino County's Department of Public Health and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Concentrations of soot, known as "particulate matter 10," have reached unhealthy levels in many parts of the region, according to a statement from the district.
Particulates are microscopic bits of soot that can reach deep into lung tissue when breathed in, said Sam Atwood, a spokesperson with the air district.
Even small amounts of exposure to the pollutant can be harmful, Atwood said.
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
The district has recommended the following precautions:
The public should avoid prolonged vigorous outdoor exercise, especially children, teenagers and seniors.
Anyone with heart or lung conditions should avoid all outdoor activity.
Windows should be kept closed and air conditioners should be operating on the recirculation setting, if available. This should reduce some of the larger pollutant particles from entering homes, said Sam Atwood, spokesperson with the district.
The county released a statement advising anyone near a fire to try to avoid respiratory harm:
People with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other lung or heart diseases should make sure that they are on medication and have at least a five-day supply on hand, said county health officer Margaret Beed.
People with asthma should consult their physician about an asthma-management plan and stick to it during unusually smoky conditions, Beed said.
Blowing dust, ashes, and other debris can be irritating and dangerous to the eyes. Wear eye protection if outdoors. Even sunglasses can be helpful, Beed said.
If specks of debris get stuck in your eyes, don't rub them. Try to let tears wash the speck out or use eyewash. Try lifting the upper eyelid outward and down over the lower lid. If the speck does not wash out, keep the eye closed, bandage it lightly and see a doctor.
Avoid cooking and vacuuming, which can increase pollutants indoors.
Contact a doctor if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath or severe fatigue. This is important, even if you haven't been diagnosed with lung or heart disease, Beed said.
Keep airways moist by drinking lots of water. Breathing through a warm, wet washcloth also can help relieve dryness.
Activities On City Web Page: Air Risk and All
So. It is my humble opinion that the City's Planned Tree Planting, and Dump Day should be postponed until the air is more suitable. I understand that the tree delivery is being made, however 150 trees can be placed in a sand bank and saved for a month without problem.
Risking or adding to the risk of the citizens by having them work outside is a dereliction in the city's duty to look out for our citizens and the Colton High School Football Team.
The City's Web Page shows the following Activities being still planned during this Extremely Bad Air Conditions. No health warnings to the participants are included.
At Least Wearing a Mask is Part of Halloween.... Please Make it a N95 Mask or better and make sure it is sealed around your face.

Public Restrooms Finaly Seen as Need?
Imagine a family visiting a resident at the villa, with say a bunch of grand kids and they use the park as a meeting place. Will the Kids be welcome into the Senior Center during Card Games? Will the Kids be locked out on weekends? Will the Senior Center Restrooms be available for the public on the Weekends? No their is a need for a Restroom if it is to be a Public Park.
There is a need for a restroom if the Seniors living in the Villas or the Senior Center are visiting the park as some of them quite frankly can't make it back to their apartments or to the senior center to answer the urgent call of nature.
So if there is going to be a water feature, make a restroom first and foremost, or include in the Senior center Design restrooms that are accessible from the Park.
Plant list should include: Permaculture that will provide good nutrition for the visitors and residents of the park, and be low water demands.

Sunday to Tuesday: Red Flag Warning...
Thanks...
Closed Meeting Rules: with Comment
In the Past the City Council has neglected to abide by this legal requirement. Let it be known that should they fail to report their decision or actions that are a result of a Closed Meeting will be cause for future legal action against them as a Group or as Individuals who Conspire to Violate the State Laws of Open Government.
From the Email InBox:
Neglected? The first paragraph I read on the site says the Council "neglected" to inform the public. Since when has the word lied been replaced with "neglected". Every real estate deal save one, the house that was rehabed for, what was it 80 grand, that used to be the womans shelter, Mayoretta has come out of closed sessions and said "No reportable action was taken". Dodson was a prime examole of her lying.

This is the Case Filed regarding the “Current Plan” for the Blue Mt. Senior Villas. Parking and Traffic and other EIR Issues are still part of this legal action. Note the EIR Presented concluded the BEST SITE for the Senior Center and housing is on Barton Rd where it was specified in the General Plan.

This agenda item is to address the Appeal Filed after the City and CFBH lost the Original Case against the Old Planed Blue Mt. Senior Villas, plan without a traffic report, or EIR, or any redesign. One has to wonder why they are still holding tight onto this “Plan” by either not satisfying Judge Wades Concerns and returning to his court, or just moving on. It reflects the stiff necked attitude of the City Manager, and Mayor… and is just costing the Citizens Legal Fees.3) Citizens for Responsible and Open Government vs. City of Grand Terrace, et al.

Jimsonweed Will Kill People and Goats...WARNING
In general a Goat Handler will include in the contract price of services the removal of Jimpsonweed or the protection of particular plants, as part of their calculation of their fee.
IF there was other food available in that field the goats would not eat Jimpsonweed, it doesn't taste good. However to imply or say the goats ate it may be interpreted by Humans, teens, children or adults that the plant is safe. IT IS DEADLY. Don't touch it, Don't pick the flowers, Don't Eat the Jimsonweed, any part leaf, flower, stem or seed. Don't feed it to any animal or human.
All parts of Jimsonweed are poisonous. Leaves and seeds are the usual source of poisoning, but are rarely eaten do to its strong odor and unpleasant taste. Poisoning can occur when hungry animals are on sparse pasture with Jimsonweed infestation. Most animal poisoning results from feed contamination. Jimsonweed can be harvested with hay or silage, and subsequently poisoning occurs upon feeding the forage. Seeds can contaminate grains and is the most common poisoning which occurs in chickens.
Poisoning is more common in humans than in animals. Children can be attracted by flowers and consume Jimsonweed accidentally. In small quantities, Jimsonweed can have medicinal or haulucinagenic properties, but poisoning readily occurs because of misuse. Ingestion of Jimsonweed caused the mass poisoning of soldiers in Jamestown, Virginia in 1676.
Jimsonweed toxicity is caused by tropane alkaloids. The total alkaloid content in the plant can be as high as 0.7%. The toxic chemicals are atropine, hyoscine (also called scopolamine), and hyoscyamine.
Why is there a need to Perpetuate Flawed Dangerous Information to the public. Goats are good for fire prevention to remove brush and grass. HOWEVER, they do not eat Jimsonweed as part of the deal.
Jimsonweed loves to grow where grasses and brush have been removed with a tractor. The city has in the past done this to control weeds on property owned by the city as did Edison. So we have an abundance of this risky plant growing within our city. It should be eradicated, but by human hand, not by goat or children.
For the City Management, City Council Members and Mayor to say Goats ate Jimsonweed demonstrates their ignorance of the local plants, and or their lack of concern for the Public Safety in particular the Safety of Children and Youth who may partake of the plant. Shame on YOU ALL... Shame. Why can't you just tell the truth.... and do your homework and be informed?
Whose child has to die because of your lie about what the goats ate?

PC422 Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or her immediate family's safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison.
For the purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any spouse, whether by marriage or not, parent, child, any person related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any other person who regularly resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months, regularly resided in the household.

Road Work Notice:
Barton Road from Mt. Vernon to Honeyhill Drive will be open to only two lanes of traffic from
Tuesday, October 16th to Friday, October 19th. Paving will begin the week of 10-22-07 with the expected completion date of 10-31-07.
The City of Grand Terrace strives to keep our city streets well maintained.
In order to meet this goal\par we need to periodically repair streets that may\par require detours for our residents.
We will strive to finish the project in a timely manner, but in the meantime, we ask for your patience.
By the first of November we can all enjoy our new stretch of city street.
Your City Council and Staff
The above was on the city web page:
Isn't this the same area where the water conduit was going to be put in??? Let's hope it is not a repair on a repair on a repair..
It is interesting to see all the traffic build up during the rush or not rush hours...

From the Email InBox: Remeber Ferre's Lies to Win
Property values should not be dropping in Grand Terrace like they are else where, but they are.
Lets see $64,000,000 divided by approximately 5000 households = $12,800 that's what each house hold with automatically become indebted to pay off the bonds. Gee thanks for nothing City Hall. You devalue my property then want me to pay the developers bill that are your co-conspirators in the scam.
Councilwoman Garcia promised we would "Be able to walk or bike down GREEN BLOSSOMING CORRIDORS". Except for the diesel truck exhaust. The big rig trucks driving through our neighborhoods are not the only things "blowing smoke" in Grand Terrace.
From the Email InBox: Wonder what Brian Thinks?
Town Square Development
As previously mentioned here, new plans have been submitted to the City Planning Department for the proposed Town Square Development on Barton Road at Michigan Avenue in Grand Terrace. You can click on the link to view a diagram of the proposed center. You can't really see much other than Stater Bros. and Miguel's Jr., although you can increase the % on your toolbar to get a closer view. The best view is at 200%. The big "X" in the blank white space towards the right side of the project is the property of Jo Stringfield, who chose to remain and live in the middle of a shopping center. This diagram was taken from the CB Richard Ellis Real Estate web site.
There is really nothing new in the diagram but If you look across Barton Road to the North you'll see a project that I wasn't aware of. This one is a 2100 square foot "fast food pad" on the corner of Barton Road and Vivienda Avenue, directly across from the Lion's Community Center. There is currently a house on this property and, although there was talk of Auto Zone relocating there, this is the first I've heard of a fast food pad. Check it out.

Brian's Reply to Emailer:
To the poster who took offense and posted my address in a sorry attempt to frighten me:
I know that you're upset about my identifying Jo Stringfield's property. This was not a slight in any way. IT IS A FACT. She chose to stay in the middle of a shopping center. That's all I said and that's all I meant. It was a major news story which is why I identified the property. I have no problem with my address being known. I have nothing to hide and its public information. How bout' you? Who are you and where do you live? Huh? Thought so!! Also, get your facts straight. I've never been in favor of eminent domain for private developers. Reading my blog will show that. I was initially in favor of the town square project as proposed if all land was acquired, which it wasn't.
I am not in favor of a fast food row, which is also well documented. Ask Gramps, he'll show you the e-mails. If a fast food restaurant is put in on Vivienda and it reduces my quality of life to a point that I can't stand it...I'll move. That's how it works. Why should I be able to control what happens on somebody else's property? You'll protect Ms Stringfield's right to use her property till the end of time as you should, but not anyone else's right to do the same with their property. You can only control your own stuff, not everybody else's. If I don't like the restaurant...I'll move.
And finally...nobody took anything from Jo Stringfield. I was at the meeting and I know what she was offered. It was far beyond fair. It was excessive. Still, she chose to remain and live in the middle of a shopping center, which is her absolute right. But remember...the owner of the land around her also has the right to build the center.
I know you are very angry and that's unfortunate. Life is too short to be so bitter all the time.
thanks,
Brian Reinarz
Reply by Gramps:
Yes, Brian has said much after the fact he was against the use of Eminent Domain for the purpose of building the Town Center. However, when he spoke at the City Council Meetings he clearly desired the building of the Center, "If all the Land Could Be Acquired". He did not say at that time that he was against the use of Eminent Domain to force the Sale of Property. So the City Council and Public would naturally assume that his statements could mean do what ever it takes to build the Lowes/Staters as Originally Planned.
Yes, Brian, Jo didn't lose the right to keep her land. She lost a significant amount of money having to defend her right to her property. She had to spend a significant amount of time and suffered and still is suffering from the stress of the entire lengthy event, including a Notice to her to Not change the Land or Use as the City is Considering the use of Eminent Domain. Not to mention the actual autorization by the City Council to get an Assesment of the property for the intent of making an ED Offer. Yes Brian, I have posted letters where she was threated with Deal with Jacobsen or the City will use ED. When I posted my opinion about this it was clear and to the point.
No Brian, Mr. Jacobsen is not like any other property owner. He has used Public Agency aka the Redevelopment Agency to acquire and manipulate the economic opportunities he is enjoying in Grand Terrace. Therefor the Citizens of Grand Terrace who also have to abide by zoning and codes should be party to the Development of those areas in the General Plan, and Barton Rd Specific Plan, and financed or facilitated by Public Funds. So a Fast Food Restaurant across the bus loading zone for the GT Elm is not a good use. As a Mater of practicality the CJUSD should use Eminent Domain to acquire that property for Future School Expansion when and if Cal Trans takes land for the freeway and off ramps.
Yes, Brian you are free to sell your property, or live there. However, the City Council that prides itself on ever increasing housing values sure will have cheated you as anyone who would buy your house would want a discount if the Fast Food Restaurant is built on Vivienda.
I doubt anyone thinks that you would be "Scared" by having your address listed, or the situation illustrated. Yes, your address is public information. Yes, this particular planed development will directly impact you should it come to pass.
I do think that a Development that is done with the aid of the Government is to be held in account for the public good more than those done independent of Governament intervention and assistance. Mr. Jacobsen has been given an unfair advantage over other developers and businesses in Grand Terrace, he has or will enjoy the unbridaled support of the City Redevelopment Agency, Planning Dept, and City Council, including the transfer of RDA Lands. Of course he will "Pay" for that land, but, it is not as if he is going to make a purchase on an open market. It is also nice of the city to finance the land until he needs it.
Brian, you named and ID Jo Stringfield, and the Writer ID'd You and the Fast Food Development.
Well, that's what Gramps thinks about the two writers.
From the Email InBox: Emails are Compiled
In addition to the concerns about the squeeze being put on GT Elementary school is the squeeze more fast food being available to children and adults in Grand Terrace will create in their pants. YES this is exactly why a shop or restaurant that you “Walk to in a Pedestrian Friendly Development” is better social and civic planning than a Fast Food Drive Thru. Of course the “Parents” don’t have to give children money for snacks after school. However, there is a social and community responsibility to limit the exposure, or the development of the habit, and desire for junk fast food.
The news paper article expressing a "Desire" for Chain Fast Food on Barton Road was the old run it up the flag and pretend people support the idea routine we have seen from both Mr. Tom Schwab, and Mayor Ferre as they tango with Doug Jacobson. It is time for the music to stop, it is time that the RDA Advantage being used by Jacobson comes with some respect and responsibility to the community.
Remember those PUBLIC MEETINGS HE said HE would hold with the public... Has not happened yet.

Listing for Lease Town Center Grand Terrace

From the Email InBox: Changes for the Good?
Flattened.
The City of Riverside, Gage Canal lifting stationoften seen off the north end (and below the cliff) of Grand Terrace Road is now flattened. This is actually within the City of Colton, a site of a future public park within that city, and had been the building of choice for many tagging events over past few years now. A project to pressurize the pipeline supplying water to the City of Riverside and orchards, and thus eliminating a need for it is nearing completion.
Now yet another object seen from our City of G.T. is gone.
Yet, in keeping with being a Green City, the Union Pacific who poperates as lessor over the track of the Riv. Co. Transportation Comm. going past the proposed high school, is now operating a Low emission locomotive. Number 2717 is one of those special units. It was working in combination with number 2716, and unrelated design beginning on Tuesday of this week.
As of Friday, four days later, it already looks to be of problems, for it was dead in train and had some thumping going on around the wheels. Although shiney right now, it has also been tagged by one of either G.T.'s finest or a visitor vandal.

From the Email InBox: MOU Passes RDA with a Wave of a Hand...
THIS is so a NO BID CONTRACTOR/DEVELOPER can DEVELOP the HORRIBLE BLIGHTED LAND in Grand Terrace.
This MOU is an Abuse of the Citizens of Grand Terrace, and all taxpayers. To perpetuate inflated property values, and development costs by providing Bond Funds for the Development of Raw land along the Freeway or even the Senior Center is not in the best interest of the community.
There are Ghost Towns popping up all around California where 500,000.00 homes are sitting empty and no one bids on them at foreclosure sales. In Part this is due to the practice of Debt Financing, and RDA and City Councils measuring their success on the "Increased Property Value" of the land and buildings in their community. The Result has been an Inflation of Value that is not supported by real worth, and is slowly becoming a burden that much like the days of the Great Dust Bowl, and Depression will result in More and More American families living under the freeways and in the bushes along the freeways.
The Developer of the area adjacent to the Freeway will use RDA Funds to pay for Roads, sidewalks and infrastructure, that any other developer would have been required to pay for out of pocket. Remember the Citizen who wanted to subdivide a large property on Vista Grande or Grand Terrace Rd. The City Demanded a Payment UP FRONT for Sidewalk, curb and road improvements, prior to approval. So why does a Developer get these things paid for, with RDA Debt Funds.
They why is because Mr. Schwab wants it.
Why does the City have the power to tell you you can't have a small goat as a pet, but they can bring a herd of goats close to apartments for a demonstration? Because Mr. Schwab wants it that way.
It should be a time that Property OWNERS have more rights than OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS. The dog owner is the same as the goat owner...
But, that is not how Mr. Schwab wants it.
From the Email InBox: Thoughts on Taxes and Bonds
Go the news in mail the other day.
Do not know how many readers are Homeowners here, but have those readers get out their Property Tax bill they received from S.B. County in the mail recently.
Take a look at right hand margin where it reads: Service Agency Underneath the tax payer can then read just where their Property Taxes are going. On mine it indicates a few issues one of which is to go to Colton Schools to repay a Bond issue. Now then, stop and think. What did the residents of G.T. get from this Bond issue?
A billboard (Yes it will be built)...
A faulty Environmental report (I didn't notice that being there before)...
.How about a High School being built in Bloomington (as per school district newsletter)?
As the "Tax Exempt" property is near the chance of going up for sale, for a profit, will the dollars received then be used to pay down the Bond Issue, or for more wages and teachers who will not live within the City Limits of G.T.?
Gramps thinks it is important to think about all these things.
REMEMBER:
CJUSD educates our Children and Youth.
YET, when City Council Members Speak it is "OUR KIDS", "Our High School". Even if it is designed for 1500 students more than GT has in High School.
The City of Grand Terrace's Attitude and Practices contributed to the Situation of the HS/Power Plant/ EIR/ and Rail Road folly of a Plan... Mr. Schwab himself made representations to the School Board that have proven to be untrue. As the Head of the GT Redevelopment Agency is he paying back some of the cost of the School Bond out of his Personal Income.
Yes, this has been a fine example of what not to do... Do I think we have learned from the example. This I doubt. Sometimes we pay for an education and then do nothing with the Knowledge and Experiences paid for.

09/26/2007 PETITION AND PARTY INFORMATION ENTERED (CIVIL)
There has also been evidence that a local large construction company has been retained as the contractor. Well, local as in Head Quartered in Riverside. The pending court hearing will test the issues raised about the density of the proposed plan, and the parking/traffic plan which seem to those who object to the most current presentation of the Plan Presented.
Location of the Senior Center/Housing is also at issue, even the City's EIR said it would be better located on Barton Road where the Density and Use would be more harmonious with the surrounding uses, and be closer to public transportation and facilities used by the residents. To say the people backing the law suit "Object" to senior housing in GT is a misrepresentation of the facts. The OBJECTIONS are not to Senior Housing or the Senior Center. The objection is this design, and location, and density and traffic of THIS Plan and Site. It would be reffreshing if it would be reported accurately, so that people don't get bent on emotional statements like, "they don't like seniors", or "they don't like low income people", or such statements which have little to do with the issues being objected to.

From the Email Inbox: Goats..
After the goats are gone so are most of the tumble weeds, and there is no Jimpson weed to be seen. I did not observe the process, I hope the goats didn't get the Jimpson Weed... It would have killed them.
I also want to advise the public that the clearing to the Dirt as shown in the News Paper is not how goats eat as a general rule. Goats leave 4 to 8 inches of growth, and if there are enough goats this will not be standing but would have been trampled down. The goats eating the tender ends of the plants... Sheep will eat to the ground, on the first graze if allowed to.
Goats set out upon Blue Mt. may not eat a lot of the dry brush. They will knock it down and in doing so they will slow a fire as fire needs fuel and air to burn. Sure they will eat some of the weeds and dried matter, but most of it will just be brought down and compressed, unless the goats are kept on one spot for several days.
However, any grazing animal can be controlled by the length of time and number of animals on an area. The picture showed a denuding of the property, and this just does not have to be the case. Proper management will leave some vegetable matter to hold run off and for birds and other animals to forage.
$20,000.00 to Goat Trim the Mountain. How about the 4H's having 20,000 for a goat and sheep project in GT/Highgrove. If the City can't figure out how to get the Youth involved in this way then spend the $ 20,0000.00 and don't complain about the expense. Remember Mr. Schwab's last raise was more than this amount. Perhaps he'd take a pay cut so that the citizens of Grand Terrace, Reche Canyon and Highgrove will be protected by our weed abatement on Blue Mt.
Gramps, you suggested Goats a long long long time ago. Perhaps the City does listen, they may not be deaf, but are burdened with slow hearing.
If 1 in 4 homes had a pygmy goat there would be less green trash going to pick up weekly...
For the Goat Keeper to have to come to Show How it would work, is an example of the City Council Not wanting to read readily available materials from the Federal and State Government on the use of Fire Fighting Goats, and the information from Goat Service Providers. The Show was a Press Op, for Steve Berry, the information "Gathered" was all available prior to the "Show". I am not amused by the manipulation of information or the Press. I do support the use of Goats.
Here Comes a Thought...
Where... Well in Highgrove at a desired Metrolink Station. We have seen Toll Roads used here and there. Why not have a Commercial Developer Build the Metro Link Station, and put services adjacent to the Commuter Traffic. I am thinking Dry Cleaning, Box Dinners, (Healthy Ones Please), Child Care. or??? You could Pre Order your Family meal and have it ready for pick up on the train schedule or have a Personal Shopper put your groceries in a Locker for Pickup on your way home.
Perhaps a building made with PV Solar Cells on the Roof and exterior walls could also generate some power in addition.
Perhaps even a fleet of Light Electric Vehicles and charging stations for monthly rental or rent to purchase.
Gee, this is looking to the future. Not the Elimination or any Frustrations caused Citizens by Zone Changes on property they own. Trying to limit the uses of the Ag Overlay Property is counter productive to a healthy and sustainable community. It is not forward looking, or inventive, and it may even be in violation with the State Codes that have been written to protect farming and agricultural use of land in California.
Just a thought...
From the Email InBox:
Some thoughts on your thoughts,
I agree that we don't need a row of fast food in GT. I would love to see a Boston Market or other quality food outlets come in. I also would like to see the LEV idea work, although I don't believe its practical. This is a commuter town so people need cars and I'm not sure that they would also be able to keep and maintain an LEV for local trips. I share your belief though, that people should make more of an effort to work nearer to where they live. Commuting damages families and deprives children of the quality time with parents that is necessary for a solid relationship.
A while back, I read a newspaper article which heralded a young commuter couple as "Road Warriors," and heroes. The article tracked their commute from loading their two toddlers in the car at 5:30 AM for daycare, commuting to Newport Beach, to picking the toddlers up from daycare at 6:00 PM. The couple crowed that they do it "for the kids," so they can have a bigger house and a better life in Redlands. That house isn't for the kids! Here's a news bulletin for them: "The kids just want time with mommy and daddy, not a bigger house."
This is accepted as life in Southern California, but I find it appalling. People like this couple are the reason the LEV idea isn't practical here. I wish, with every fiber of my being, that it was.
I agree that it would be nice. A Boston Market would work though.
for what its worth,
Brian
Gramps Says:
I'll add your post I didn't write the other one... It was an idea on how to have the MetoLink Station Development Pay for its self...
I would think that if you use a LEV to and from the Metro, you'd use it to do your local shopping too, and possibly reduce the number of larger cars. Our location is kind of bad for any shopping in Colton with an LEV, the grade to get back home may be a problem. But, I think you'd make down town Riverside and back with no problem, picking a good route.
Metro Link Riders have a routine, and are often better rested than Auto Commuters. So when they are with their children they are at least in a better humor. I agree we should have a goal of employment for folks to live in homes that are affordable with the wages earned in the city.
Being a commuter town is not a "Sustainable Community". It often does not sustain as you point out a healthy nurturing family. At a minimum a Metro Link Station that GT and Highgrove Citizens can use and fully appreciate would aid in minimizing the negatives of a Commuter Town.
