At their last meeting on Dec. 10, the Grand Terrace City Council decided to utilize unexpected ongoing residual revenues from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) (over $600,000), to eliminate the scheduled budget reductions adopted on June 25 by the council that will cover the current fiscal year, 2013-14. The reductions that were going to be implemented were: Eliminate senior center funding, reduce law enforcement contract by one additional deputy, reduce EOC/CERT committee funding by 50 percent, close Rollins and Pico parks, perform only required weed abatement on closed parks, reduce contract services for city attorney and finance, reduce Cultural & Historical Committee funding by 50 percent, reduce city council and oversight board meetings to monthly, reduce city administration personnel-related expense through some combination of outsourcing, and eliminate planning commission for a total of approximately $513,700. The council elected to utilize the ongoing funds to cover the budget shortfall, while maintaining the beginning fund balance of $300,152 by approving a motion by Councilwoman Darcy McNaboe, seconded by Mayor Walt Stanckiewitz, in favor of appropriating the revenues toward the shortfall. The vote was unanimous (5-0). Any possible changes in the allotment of monies collected or amount of bills to be paid will be addressed at the mid-year budget discussions.
