NEW BUSINESS
One-Cent General Sales Tax Measure Submission to Voters
City Manager Duggan summarized the current General Fund Budget status and reviewed the economic
challenges facing the City Anticipated deficits for FY 2020-21 are projected to be $5 6 million and$7 7
million in FY 2021-22 He opened the discussion related to the submission of an ordinance proposing a
one-cent General Transaction and Use Tax to the Qualified Voters at the November 3, 2020 General
Municipal Election On June 16, 2020, City Council received the results of a voter opinion survey that
was conducted to gauge community support of a local one-cent sales tax measure The survey results
provided evidence of strong support for a sales tax measure among likely November 2020 voters in the
City He pointed out that despite City Council consistently adopting balanced budgets and building
responsible reserve funds,revenues have not kept pace with the growing costs associated with unmet
capital and service enhancement needs The COVID-19 pandemic has further compounded these fiscal
pressures and the pandemic has had a significant and immediate impact on the City's revenue stream In
order for the City to maintain existing service levels to the public and work towards funding deferred
capital needs, additional revenues will be necessary,in conjunction with cost containment strategies
If approved by the voters,the measure would establish a one-cent sales tax, and provide an estimated
$10 7 million annually for city services The impact of the tax would be shared among Redlands residents
and non-residents purchasing goods within City limits The average impact per capita would roughly be
$12 a month or$150 per year City Manager Duggan added that service levels would undergo a serious

review and reductions may be required if the measure did not pass Each Council Member expressed their
support of the proposed sales tax since it allows the voters to determine the City's future direction Mayor
Foster reiterated the original intent behind plans for a sales tax proposal was based on enhancing services,
but with recent developments,the quality of life residents have come to expect could possibly diminish if
the measure does not pass
As public comment,Norman Miner questioned the language discrepancy used for the proposed tax figure
Section 2 indicates the tax will be one percent(1 0%of gross receipts),yet the language used in the
question before voters, Section 3, states that it will be one-cent, and he claimed there is a significant
difference between one-cent on sales and one percent on sales Charles Redden will not support the sales
tax increase to fix the budget shortfall while the City gives non-public safety employees a 3%raise for the
third year in a row Dennis Bell questioned how the City determined the annual sales tax estimate of$10
million,voiced concern with ballot language changes that only confuse the public, and he suggested the
City consider approving a specific special tax and not a vague general tax Neal Waner spoke in support
of the measure and raised the fact that many citizens appreciate the quality of life experienced in Redlands,
including open spaces,unique assets like the Smiley Library and the high level of service from the Police
and Fire Departments and the measure will give the public an opportunity to maintain the quality of life
they currently enjoy or live with the consequences if they vote no Lorin Grow stated that in order to
maintain the current services and facilities which benefit residents,the one-cent increase in sales tax is
manageable
On motion of Mayor Paul Foster, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich,the City Council unanimously
approved,by roll call vote,Resolution No 8111, ordenng the submission of an ordinance proposing a
One-Cent General Transaction and Use Tax to the qualified voters at the November 3,2020 General
Municipal Election, and approved Ordinance No 2913, adding Chapter 3 18 to the Redlands Municipal

Facilities and Community Services Director Boatman provided background of Ordinance No 2910,
establishing regulations governing food vehicle vending on public streets,and he explained that on June

concerns related to compatibility with existing uses The revised ordinance includes the following
changes Food trucks are prohibited from operating within the downtown area in the interest of public
safety and due to a high volume of pedestrian and vehicular traffic For the purpose of this ordinance,the
area is bounded by the following Colton Avenue/Orange Street to the north, East State Street/Redlands
Boulevard to the east,West State Street/Center Street to the west,Vine Street/Cajon Street to the south,
Food trucks are prohibited from operating within the R-1 single family residential district zone, and

Ordinance No 2912 and Resolution No 8109 Open Space/Park Fees&Policies
Facilities and Community Services Director Boatman explained the Municipal Code includes policies and
procedures relating to the approval of development projects within the City,including requirements for
residential subdivisions,density limitations and open space requirements Ordinance No 2912 would
amend the Code relating to open space and park fees and removes the existing provision that allows
Council to consider dedication of a private park in lieu of fees,and establishing that the process to
consider fee dedication be established by resolution The ordinance will also update the Code by omitting
an antiquated section that pertains to park land dedication that has not been referenced by the City in
many years The process for the City Council to consider requests to dedicate parks is outdated and in
need of revision Resolution No 8109 would provide a more streamlined approach and establish a formal
process for a developer to request dedication It establishes as a baseline that parks within a proposed
development project are to remain private and be maintained by a homeowner association,unless
otherwise approved by the City
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda,seconded by Council Member Paul Banch,the City Council
unanimously approved,by roll call vote,the introduction of Ordinance No 2912, amending Chapters 3 32
and 17 15 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to open space and park fees, and approved Resolution
No 8109, establishing policies and procedures for voluntary open space and park land dedications, and

Grove High School Lease Agreement
Mayor Pro Tempore Davis recused herself from discussion and voting on this item due to property
ownership within 500 feet of Grove High School Facilities and Community Services Director Boatman
introduced a revised and updated Lease Agreement with Grove High School The proposed Agreement
authorizes the school to install additional fencing and gates to delineate and screen school activities and it
assigns responsibility to the school to maintain the fencing in good working order The Agreement also
authorizes Grove High School to conduct a Farmers Market in the Heritage Park parking lot fronting
Orange Avenue every Saturday from the hours of 8 a m to 12 p m Per the terms of the Agreement, Grove
High School is responsible for removing all trash and debris, and any other associated items from the
parking lot at the end of each market Director Boatman clarified that the Joint Use Agreement currently in
place with Grove High School,which is consistent with other agreements with Redlands Unified School
District, allows the City to utilize structures on the property for purposes such as community events This
includes the Barton School House
As public comment,Amber and Doug Claflm,Andrew Christopherson and Drew Blauth spoke in support
of approving the lease agreement, and they highlighted a number of benefits the Farmers Market offers,
including a hands-on experience for students, allowing them to interact with other students and the public
in a social atmosphere to experience agriculture, good food and engaging interactions, a venue to sell the
produce and an educational opportunity for students to gain experience with all aspects of running a
business There is a building of community for both students and local residents and it provides unique
opportunities to students that allows them to develop important skills Installation of perimeter
fencing would provide security during the school week and be open during non-school hours so the
community can continue to enjoy Heritage Park Dennis Bell opposed the agreement as what he called the
"usual taxpayer give-away sweet heart deal" He stated the Council lets too much money slip through the
City's fingers and should be more prudent handling the public's money
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda,seconded by Council Member Paul Barich,the City Council
unanimously determined,by roll call vote,that approval of such Lease Agreement is not subject to
additional environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the State's Guidelines implementing the
California Environmental Quality Act, and is further exempt from environmental review(as to proposed
