I too have been very concerned about the lack of information on the citizens who are running for School Board positions. I would like to see a forum expressing their views of the present state of affairs and how they would like to see them change.
I would like to know which of the members actually live in Grand Terrace. Although we have to be a part of the Colton School District because we lost the election by a narrow amount to separate from them, we are a completely different City and want to continue our way of life. The influx of students being bussed to our high school will greatly impact our City and should be taken into account by our Planning Department.
I am proud of the fact that our citizens care about the City affairs and how they will affect the generations to come. Grand Terrace has always benefited by the fact that it is a small town community and a way of life apart from the larger cities of Riverside and San Bernardino. However, we cannot get away from the fact that we are greatly impacted by their air pollution and the fact that there is a large increase of respiratory diseases in our citizens.
As potential representatives of our City, I would hope that anyone running for office would be forthright with information impacting the citizens. Tell us what you are about. We want to know.

School Board Elections:
I have been trying to keep the focus of this blog on the Grand Terrace City, and City Council. However, it must be noted and considered that there are School Board Elections which effect the city.
I am not pleased with the information available to the voters. Many people running for the school board have refused to reply to questions from the blog. None of the public statements from the individuals would allow a voter to discern a difference between any one of them. So how should we vote? What should we look for in a School Board Member?
I look for a School Board Member who will insist on the most transparent and open School Board Possible. I seek a School Board Member who will use the words "May hold closed meetings" as a reason to hold an open meeting, rather than an instant justification to hide behind closed doors.
I look for a School Board Member who provides alternative innovative suggestions. Wanting to build more schools or finish projects which are already planned and under progress is a given. How about having small specialty schools for various technologies fill in the kmart building, or the charter school near the Kaiser Clinic in Cooley Ranch? Mini Schools with specialty programs or spin offs. Colton High School was a great campus before the invention of Portables, and over crowding. It has become more of a day prison for youth than an attractive campus for learning.
I look for a School Board Member who has associations with people and organizations I hold respect for. Yes that means if you are backed by City Council Members who thrive on Closed Meetings and Limiting the public time to speak, you are not going to get my vote.
I look for a School Board Member who is not the best financed, or having a long line of old political cronies backing them. I look for a person who has ideas, ethics, and a desire to serve the community without it being an ego trip. I look for a person who has close ties and a significant time in actual residency in the school district for my School Board Member.

Ethics in GT Still in Question:
From the Email Inbox:
Hi Grandpa Terrace,
My son installed something on my computer "to help me" (?) so I haven't been able to get my e-mails. Anyway, in doing some research I found the following that I thought you might find of interest:
According to the Key Ethics Law Principles For Public Servants (http://www.ilsg.org/), Personal Financial Gain "Appearing to Influence Decisions "
Public Officials: "Cannot request, receive or agree to receive anything of value or other advantages in exchange for a decision; "
"Cannot influence agency decisions relating to potential prospective employers"
and the Fairness, Impartiality and Open Government:
Public Officials "Cannot participate indecisions that will benefit their immediate family(spouse or dependent children)."
Also on the Public Official's Conflict of Interest Checklist:
"Any source of income of $500 or more (including promised income) during the prior 12 months for you or your spouse."
"You or a member of your family would have an interest (direct or indirect) in a contract with the agency."
"You have important, but non-financial, personal interest or biases (positive or negative) about the facts or the parties that could cast doubt on your ability to make a fair decision."
It goes on to say: "Even if it" legal, is it Ethical?"
In checking around I found that Mr. Miller"s wife doesn't have to WORK for there to be a conflict of interest. Her business cards are in their front office. Also, doesn't the DA need to look at the fact that Miller and Bea Cortes in close session voted to buy the Doodson property for $1.2 million when they actually did have an obvious conflict of interest when they voted for this in close session. This is the violation & the problem. They voted to buy the Doodson property for $1.2 million from someone who they both have a direct financial interest.
The evidence is that they admitted they had a financial conflict of interest when it was publicly voted on. They also admitted they had a conflict of interest when they voted on the other house on Arliss when both excused themselves because of their "interest" with Terra Loma and Gene Carlstrom.
I don't see Tom Schwab as being the "evil" one because 3 people (Miller, Cortes, Ferre) have a direct relationship with Carlstrom & you know they are always directing Mr. Schwab. Remember the sole right to sell of the 23 houses on Cardinal, the two redevelopment homes that went sour, the home on Arliss, the Doodson house and more... what is the common denominator? Terra Loma Real Estate
I am not convinced that the Doodson's are victims or even close to a victim. They are related to Carlstrom and if they were trying to sell their property for the 'last 10 years" how many times did they raise the price? I'm hearing from Realtors outside our area that that property was only listed twice in the MLS for short periods of time in the last year and the price was RAISED just before Carlstrom approached the city of GT. Zone change? The Realtors I know say that has been industrial for 20+ years. What is the old saying "You can't have it both ways." I guess you can if your brother-in-law has the ear of the City Council and their hand in his pocket. It is industrial property, has been for 20- 25 years. Is someone a bit greedy? I am the victim, you and every citizen of GT is the victim. The winner is the Doodson's and their Realtor relative.
The frustrating thing is that there is no way to get the DA involved with any of this when it seems such a clear violation.
And yes, you can use any of my letters that you wish.

From Grandpa Terrace:
Dear 3 Minute Rebel:
I don't agree with all of what you say, however it is of interest. Here it is posted for other's to read and digest the information it contains. I would not disregard Tom Schwab's complicity as readily as you have. He selects the developers, and the grandiose designs for development of projects like the OAC, and Senior villas independent of input or Council Direction, or Public input at the beginning of the project. In addition, I feel that if the OAC had not limited the potentiality of other's buying the Doodson's property you would be 100% correct about the suspicious linkage of relationships. However: When a city plan effectively removes the property from the market by limiting its use to be in accordance with a Plan as restricted as the OAC under the development of one developer any purchaser would be foolish to buy unless you were in fact the development company selected, without competitive selection, and public input, by non other than Tom Schwab the Director of the RDA, and City Manager.
It is clear that Mr. Miller's statement Mrs. Miller does business in Grand Terrace and has some sort of collaborative relationship on property transactions with Terra Loma, but is INDEPENDENT of them, is interesting in light of the fact she has no Business License in The City of Grand Terrace?

Grass in Grand Terrace
City crews plan to install sprinklers and put in grass on the west side of Grass will be planted on the west side of Mount Vernon Avenue at Grand Terrace Road This is Edison Property. Apparently the City will fund the project and will pay for future cost of water and maintenance.
Remember this is the city that wants to charge our children and youth a park use fee. When was this Plan brought to the City Council? What is the increased annual cost to the city. Where is the seed money coming from? State, Local, or Federal Taxes?
CalTrans was noticed counting traffic at the Barton Rd Offramp. Business and the School close to the bridge and interchange may want to keep informed about the affects of the bridge, and ramp design planning going on without your input.

They chose to close the meetings. This is their decision, not the LAWs REQUIREMENT. Is the RDA going to pay how much to the County, because they did not use the house for a shelter, or according to the terms and conditions of the County to City Title Transfer, negotiated by non other than Jim Miller.

Remember, these are the Minutes where Council Member Miller's vote was changed from His approval of the check for the purchase of the 1.200,000.oo land and house, which he had approved in a CLOSED RDA Meeting/Negotiation, with a realtor his wife does business with, but does not work for, and he stressed she has her own business, yet no city license for said business could be found in spite of advertisements implying an office in Grand Terrace, and a consistent collaboration with the aforementioned realtor.

Colton High School Marching Band
From the Email InBox:
The Colton High School
The Colton High School
Marching Band
!!!Won Sweepstakes !!!
at the Barstow High School Invitational Band Competition.
(That means they won over all 15 bands, including bands that have more members.)15 High School Bands from San Bernardino and Riverside Counties participated in the event. In spite of heavy strong dust blowing winds the various bands performed their routines with determination and skill.
Colton High School Marching Band played the music selection well, and their movements on the field were sharp and precise. There show was performed to the highest degree of accuracy amongst the various performances, both musically and marching techniques. The band members struggled to keep hats with plumes on their heads, yet their precision in performing the show as designed was evident in their performance.
Fontana High School had perhaps the most "Entertainment Value" as their music selection was made up of music the audience can recognize and hum. There was even a super surprise,, ...
The host band not being in the competition should also be noted. Barstow High School has over 150 band members on the field.
Their Bright Red and Gold Uniforms were impressive and added to the effect of their being a presence on the field, even before they began to play.
They have several drum majors (student directors) one of which was particularly athletic and did an impressive gymnastic run with flips and all.
Barstow High School also showed how to dress a band when there aren't enough uniforms to go around. Some of the sections were clad in different but coordinated outfits. It would be ideal to have all the band in the same uniforms. However for the theme of the show, and perhaps the lack of uniforms the sectional costumes or uniforms clearly allows for more people to participate, and did not detract from the show value.
Each band's performance demonstrated hours of practice and effort on the part of the students. Band Directors chose the music and design the show. The student's performance of the Directors show is then evaluated.
Band sizes varied from 30 members to over 150 members on the field. On this windy day the more the better, and the brighter the uniform the bigger the visual impact, were all concepts that held true in terms of the "entertainment", and "enjoyment" factor in the audience's view. The variables used to "Judge" a band performance is different from those used by the casual observer. The most entertaining show may not win a competition. What wins a competition is precision in the performance of the music, and the marching elements.
The sound of the music was being blown away from the audience. At times adapting to the wind was comical. Flag Teams struggled with big flags in a strong wind. Props once used and placed down on the field would blow from mid field to the end zone. The students all adapted and went on with the show.
If you ever have the chance to attend a band competition of this type you may note that there are no penalty flags, major injuries, and the number of student hours contributed to the effort is significant. Parents, and competing band members cheer the other bands during and after each performance.
Educational studies indicate that band members are the least likely to drop out of school, and are amongst the highest achievers in academics.
Perhaps there should be a slogan... No kid left out of band.... Added to no kid left behind.
Keep the tone..... And Pitch Pitch Pitch.. Support Arts in School's

Tid-Bits of Information OAC/Barton Rd
It is Important that the City Planning Department and the "Developers" and SANBAG and the Colton Joint Unified School District and the Citizens of Grand Terrace all be on the same page on the design of the 215 / Barton Road Offramp Improvement and 215 widening project.
The Presentation at the Last City Council Meeting had some overhead projections of the design proposed for the offramp and bridge improvement, which included the encroachment on existing businesses, and the school property. ARE ALL parties aware of the planning being done, by all the various groups??
This is on SANBAG's website (MAJOR PROJECTS COMMITTEE).
