I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD FOR

[AMENDMENTS TO THE AGENDA]

[ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRESENTATIONS]

BEFORE WE, UH, PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION TO YOU, CHERYL, I'D LIKE MAYBE FOR YOU TO SHARE A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT YOU DO IN, IN YOUR WORLD OF DONATE LIFE.

YES.

OKAY.

WELL, MAYOR MICHAELS, COUNCIL MEMBER, CITY OF RANCHO, UH, CUCAMONGA RESIDENCE.

MY NAME IS CHERYL MAHAN.

I AM A PROUD RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

I AM A ONE LEGACY AMBASSADOR, UH, AND I ALSO AM A LIVING KIDNEY DONOR TO MY BROTHER STEVEN.

SO MY FAMILY HAS A GENETIC KIDNEY DISEASE CALLED POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE.

PKD THREE LITTLE LETTERS THAT HAVE FOREVER CHANGED MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS.

MY GRANDMOTHER, MY FATHER, MY AUNTS, MY BROTHER, SISTER NEPHEWS ALL HAVE PKD.

THERE'S NO CURE.

I WASH MY FATHER IN MANY YEARS OF DIALYSIS.

HE LEFT US WAY TOO YOUNG, STILL DEPENDENT ON THAT MACHINE.

WHEN MY BROTHER'S KIDNEYS HAD FAILED, UH, I SAID, I'LL BE YOUR, I'LL BE YOUR LIVING DONOR.

AND HE WAS A LITTLE BIT RELUCTANT, BUT WE GOT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND I WAS ABLE TO DONATE A KIDNEY TO HIM BECAUSE HE RECEIVED HIS GIFT OF LIFE.

HE WAS ABLE TO SEE HIS KIDS GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, HIS DAUGHTER GET MARRIED, AND EXPERIENCE THE, UH, BIRTH OF HIS THREE GRANDCHILDREN.

ON NEW YEAR'S DAY IN 2020, MY SISTER RECEIVED HER GIFT OF LIFE.

UM, MY NIECE'S KIDNEY FLEW TO WISCONSIN BECAUSE SHE BECAME A LIVING DONOR AND MY SISTER'S KIDNEY ARRIVED FROM THE NORTHEAST BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED HER GIFT OF LIFE AND A SECOND CHANCE SHE WAS ABLE TO, UM, CELEBRATE HER SON'S WEDDING THAT SAME YEAR.

MY BABY BROTHER IS CURRENTLY ON DIALYSIS AND IS IN NEED OF A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.

SO I'M TELLING YOU MY FAMILY STORY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY INHERITED THAT DISEASE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN NEED OF A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT LIKE MY MANY FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALONG WITH A HUNDRED THOUSAND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT WAITING LIST.

SO I'M ASKING YOU RESIDENTS OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, WILL YOU BE SOMEBODY'S HERO? YOU CAN REGISTER TO BE AN ORGAN TISSUE DONOR AT THE DMV, OR YOU CAN GO TO WWW.DONATELIFECALIFORNIA.ORG.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, CHERYL.

THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH FOR THAT, THAT STORY.

AND, AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR, FOR WHAT YOU'VE ENDURED.

UM, THIS IS A PROCLAMATION, UM, THAT WE'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU.

IT'S ENTITLED, WHEREAS THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING, PRESERVING THE LIVES OF ITS CITIZENS.

AND WHEREAS OREGON EYE TISSUE MARROW AND BLOOD DONATIONS ARE LIFESAVING ACTS RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE AS THE EXPRESSIONS OF COMPASSION TO THOSE IN NEED.

46,000 LIVES LAST YEAR IN OUR NATION.

AND WHEREAS ANY PERSON CAN REGISTER TO BE AN ORGAN EYE TISSUE DONOR, REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MEDICAL CONDITIONS, BEING REGISTERED DONOR DOES NOT IMPACT THE QUALITY OF LIFESAVING MEDICAL CARE A PERSON RECEIVES IN AN EMERGENCY.

[00:05:01]

NOW THEREFORE BE IT PROCLAIMED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY RANCHO CUCAMONGA DOES HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF APRIL, 2024 AS DONATE LIFE MONTH AND ENCOURAGE ALL DRIVER AGE RESIDENCE TO USE, DONATE LIFE CALIFORNIA REGISTRY WHEN APPLYING OR RENEWING THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE OR ID AT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS, AND THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS A PRESENTATION OF A PROCLAMATION.

LET ME GET IT HERE TO ONE LEGACY DECLARING, NO, I ALREADY DID THAT.

ONE PRO PROCLAMATION TO THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY CHILDREN'S NETWORK DECLARING THE MONTH OF APRIL, 2024 AS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH.

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD FROM THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO CHILDREN'S NETWORK, MR. KEVIN ANDERSON, INTERIM NETWORK WORKER.

THANK YOU KEVIN FOR BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

AND WE'LL ASK YOU TO DO THE SAME THING AND EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR ROLE AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COUNTY IN THIS AREA OF CHILD ABUSE.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU EVERYONE AND FOR RECOGNIZING, UH, THIS MONTH AS, UH, CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AGAIN, MY NAME'S KEVIN ANDERSON AND I'M THE INTERIM, UH, CHILDREN'S NETWORK OFFICER, UH, FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO.

AND BASICALLY WHAT OUR PROGRAM DOES IS WE, UH, FILL IN THE GAPS, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABUSE.

AND SO, UH, WE DEAL WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

UH, WE ALSO, UH, PARTNER WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS WELL AS OUR, OUR COUNTY, UH, DEPARTMENTS WITH MENTORING PROGRAMS AS WELL AS, UH, OUR FATHERHOOD INITIATIVE PROGRAMS. AND SO, UH, THIS MONTH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT, UM, UM, CHILD ABUSE COMES IN MANY FORMS, WHETHER IT'S SEXUAL ABUSE, GENERAL NEGLECT, SEVERE NEGLECT, EMOTIONAL ABUSE.

WE'RE ASKING THAT EVERYONE REALLY BE HEIGHTENED, BE AWARE 'CAUSE WE'VE GOT LITTLE ONES OUT THERE THAT NEED TO BE PROTECTED.

AND SO WE NEED TO BE THE EYES FOR THOSE, UH, MOST VULNERABLE YOUTH.

SO I THANK YOU, UH, THIS EVENING FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME.

AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, UH, FOR THIS VERY WORTHY CAUSE.

YOU BET.

THANK YOU.

AND THIS, THIS PROCLAMATION, THERE'S A FEW STATISTICS HERE THAT ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY NO, NOT NO DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION, ARE PRETTY DEVASTATING AS FAR AS THE NUMBERS AND THE PROBLEMS THAT WE FACE IN THIS COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THIS NATION.

AND WHEREAS THE MONTH OF APRIL, 2024 HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PREVENTION OF SUCH CHILD ABUSE.

AND WHEREAS NEARLY 31,000 CHILDREN IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WERE REFERRED TO CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES FOR SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN 2023.

AND WHEREAS THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE REQUIRES RIGOROUS SOLUTIONS, ENERGY, STRENGTH, AND DETERMINATION, AS WELL AS COMMITMENT FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS AS WELL AS OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO PROVIDES SERVICES AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF CHILD ABUSE WHO ARE DEDICATED, COMPASSIONATE, AND SKILLED IN THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE.

[00:10:02]

AND WHEREAS THE BLUE RIBBON IS AN INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL FOR CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY CHILDREN'S NETWORK, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE MEMBER AGENCIES OF THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY'S CHILDREN POLICY COUNCIL AND CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION COMMITTEE HAVE PLANNED A BLUE RIBBON MEDIA CAMPAIGN, THE 25TH ANNUAL SHINE, A LIGHT ON CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AWARDS DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF CHILD ABUSE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, KEVIN.

APPRECIATE IT.

AND HERE'S YOUR PROCLAMATION.

TAKE THIS BACK TO YOUR OFFICES.

WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT THIS EVENING AND SHARING THIS IMPORTANT MATTER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

WE CAN RETURN TO OUR SEATS.

OUR THIRD PRESENTATION THEN, AS WELL AS AN ANNOUNCEMENT, UM, IS A PRESENTATION OF THE SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S CENTER OF AGING COMING SOON TO THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

SO I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD AT THIS TIME FROM THE HOSPITAL CENTER OF AGING, MR. JOHN CHAPMAN, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE AT SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL.

JOHN, THANK YOU MAYOR AND, UH, CITY COUNCIL FOR INVITING ME HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THAT WONDERFUL BUILDING OF YOURS.

UH, I STILL HAVE A FEW UPDATES THAT I THINK ALSO IMPACTS YOUR CITY AND I'LL SHARE ALL OF THEM WITH YOU NOW.

SO AT SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL, WE HAVE A FEW THINGS GOING ON.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, A NEW BIRTHING CENTER, A NEW MATERNITY UNIT, UH, OPENING UP ON CAMPUS, UH, IN ABOUT THREE YEARS.

AS YOU KNOW, MANY HOSPITALS ARE SUFFERING FINANCIAL LOSSES AND CLOSING THEIR MATERNITY UNITS.

WE THINK THAT'LL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AROUND US.

SECONDLY, UM, I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THERE'S A DEARTH OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, UH, IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

NOT ENOUGH PRIMARY CARE, NOT ENOUGH FAMILY MEDICINES.

WELL, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THIS.

UH, WE JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT, UH, WITH WESTERN UNIVERSITY FOR A FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM AT THE HOSPITAL.

WOW.

WHICH WILL GRADUATE 12 PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS PER YEAR.

AND OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A THIRD MOB IN RANCHO.

WE HAVE THE FOOTPRINT UP ON MILLIKEN, AND THAT'LL BE A HUGE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENT AREA, HOPEFULLY IN 36 TO 48 MONTHS.

SO JOHN, GET READY FOR SOME MORE PLANS.

.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

BUT WHAT I REALLY AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT, AS THE MAYOR SAID, IS OUR CENTER OF AGING.

AND PEOPLE SAY, WHAT THE HECK IS A CENTER OF AGING? WELL, IF ANYBODY HAS A SENIOR THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF, UH, YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.

UH, WE, I HAVE A MOM WHO WANTED TO LIVE ALONE UNTIL 85 AND THINKS SHE COULD HANDLE EVERYTHING.

UM, TRIED TO, UH, MAINTAIN, UH, HER, UH, HEALTH, UM, APPOINTMENTS AND EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED TO DO ON HER OWN.

IT'S VERY HARD.

AND THEN OUR PARENTS EITHER HAVE A SLIP OR FALL OR IN MY MOM'S CASE, UH, SHE CAUGHT COVID AND FLU AWAY AT THE SAME TIME WAS ON EVENT.

NOW SHE'S IN A, UH, BOARDING CARE AND CAN'T WALK.

AND SHE HAS MULTIPLE CAREGIVERS THAT SHE NEEDS TO SEE WHEN THAT HAPPENS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE MEDICARE, A SIMPLE TRANSPORT TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE IS A $100 COPAY FOR A SENIOR.

CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING TO 12 TO 16 APPOINTMENTS PER MONTH.

THEY REALLY GO THROUGH THE SAVINGS THAT THEY HAVE GAINED OVER THEIR OR THEIR LIFETIME.

SO THIS CENTER OF AGING IS BEING BUILT TO ADDRESS ALL THOSE CONCERNS.

WE WILL HAVE CASE MANAGERS ASSIGNED TO EVERY SENIOR WHO COMES THROUGH THIS COMPLEX.

AND WHY WOULD A SENIOR COME HERE? BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE FAMILY MEDICINE,

[00:15:02]

AND IN ESSENCE, WE'LL ALSO HAVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING, EVERY ANCILLARY THEY WOULD NEED A FALLS CENTER, UH, OT, PT, SPEECH THERAPY LAB, RADIOLOGY.

UM, WE'RE EVEN THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MRI IN THERE IF NEEDED, ON THE TOP FLOOR.

UH, THE LAST 25% OF THE BUILDING, UH, IS OUR THIRD PHASE.

AND WE'RE LOOKING, UH, TO COLLABORATE WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER INSTITUTIONS TO CREATE A SENIOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT.

AND THAT'S NOT AN INPATIENT UNIT, THAT'S A DEMENTIA CLINICS.

UM, UM, YOU CAN HAVE SHORT TERM OR LONG TERM, BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR SENIORS.

SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR CENTER OF AGING.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE ALREADY 80% FILLED WITH THOSE SPECIALISTS AND PROVIDERS WHO HAVE HAD MADE A LETTER OF INTENT.

WE'RE PROBABLY ABOUT 12 TO 18 MONTHS AWAY.

WE WILL HAVE CASE MANAGERS THERE.

WE WILL PROVIDE, UH, FREE TRANSPORTATION IF NEEDED, IF THEY'RE IN OUR AREA, OUR CATCHMENT AREAS, OF COURSE, RANCHO UPLAND AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS LIKE CHINO, ET CETERA.

BUT WE EXPECT MOST TO COME FROM, UH, THE NEXT, THE 20 SQUARE MILES AROUND HERE.

UM, SO THAT'S OUR PLAN FOR RANCHO.

THERE'LL BE 400 NEW EMPLOYEES IN THAT BUILDING, AND WE'RE EXPECTING OVER A THOUSAND SENIORS PER DAY, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, UH, TO ALSO ENTER AND EXIT THAT BUILDING.

SO I HOPE YOU LIKE OUR PLAN.

THAT'S OUR GOAL.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO INVITE YOU TO WIN THE OPEN HOUSING OCCURS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND, AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY EXCITING? IT WAS ONCE MERCURY INSURANCE, AND SO WE'VE TURNED AN INSURANCE BUILDING INTO A MEDICAL CARE FACILITY FOR OUR SENIOR POPULATION.

AND ISN'T IT BEAUTIFULS? BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. CHAPMAN.

APPRECIATE IT.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

SO I'D NOW LIKE TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

SO THIS IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ANY ITEM ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA OR NOT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE AGENDA FOR PUBLIC TO MAKE COMMENTS.

COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL AND THE BUSINESS PORTION OF THE MEETING WILL NOT,

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS ]

WE'LL START WITH THE BUSINESS PORTION AND, UH, YOU CAN, IF THOSE OF YOU THAT CARE TO SPEAK, UM, YOU CAN SPEAK AFTER WE GET DONE WITH OUR BUSINESS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

SO OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS, WE HAVE SIX SPEAKERS, SO WE SHOULD GET THROUGH THIS PRETTY QUICKLY.

RAPHAEL, LIGO, IF I MISPRONOUNCE YOUR NAME, PLEASE CORRECT IT FOR THE RECORD.

SURE.

UH, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS RAFAEL JIDO.

MAY I JUST MAYBE, UH, LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE.

WE'LL TAKE A QUICK LOOK, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE BEHIND YOU AND SO WE, WE'VE SEEN THE SIGNS, BUT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND TAKING THE SIGNS DOWN AND, AND TAKE YOUR SEATS, THAT'D BE GREAT.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

OUTTA RESPECT FOR OUR PEOPLE AND BEHIND WORRIES.

ALRIGHT, SO, UH, MY NAME IS RAFAEL JIDO.

I'M A REPRESENTATIVE AND A MEMBER OF THE WESTERN STATES REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS.

UH, WE HAVE OVER 90,000 MEMBERS TOTAL.

UH, ROUGHLY, ROUGHLY 6,000 OF OUR MEMBERS LIVE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

AND OF THOSE ROUGHLY 600 OF OUR MEMBERS LIVE IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

UH, SO I'M HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF OUR ALL OUR MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED BY TAX FRAUD.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT CONSTRUCTION TAX FRAUD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHEATING COMMUNITIES OUT OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX REVENUE.

THAT'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOST TAX REVENUE THAT COULD BE USED FOR BUILDING AND RENOVATING SCHOOLS, REPAIRING ROADS, CARING FOR VETERANS, SHELTERING THE UNHOUSED, AND FUNDING OTHER ESSENTIAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS. THE PREVALENCE OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TAX FRAUD HAS REACHED CRISIS LEVELS AND MUST BE STOPPED THIS APRIL 13TH THROUGH THE 19TH.

THE WESTERN STATES CARPENTERS UNION, LOCAL 9 0 9, THE HUNDREDS OF OUR MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS ARE TAKING PART IN THE NATIONAL TAX FRAUD DAYS OF ACTION.

A WEEK LONG SERIES OF EVENTS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TAX FRAUD.

THE TAX FRAUD DAYS OF ACTION GREW OUT OF WIDESPREAD OUTRAGE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TAX FRAUD, A RANGE OF PRACTICES WHERE EMPLOYERS EVADE THEIR TAX RESPONSIBILITIES IN SEVERAL WAYS.

OFTEN THEY INTENTIONALLY MISCLASSIFY WORKERS AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR PAY WORKERS

[00:20:01]

AS A RESULT, THESE BUSINESSES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THEIR INCOME TAX AND PAYROLL TAX RESPONSIBILITIES AND DEFRAUD COMMUNITIES OUT OF MUCH NEEDED TAX REVENUE.

AND AS COMMUNITIES ARE CONTINUALLY FACING BUDGET SHORTFALLS, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO CRACK DOWN ON THESE BAD ACTOR EMPLOYERS WHO ARE STEALING FROM THE RESIDENTS OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS NO TABA, FOLLOWED BY DAVID WILLIAMS. HELLO.

OKAY.

HI.

I GO TO CHAFFEE COLLEGE AND I'VE BEEN LIVING IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR ALMOST A DECADE.

OKAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME EXPLAINING WHY AS A CHRISTIAN, THERE IS NO MORAL OR RIGHTEOUS REASON TO BE SUPPORTING THE STATE OF ISRAEL, ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY.

WHAT DOES THE WORD ISRAEL MEAN? THE WORD ISRAEL IS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT NAME FOR PROPHET JACOB, WHO IS A PROPHET OF GOD IN THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN.

IS THERE A COUNTRY ON THIS EARTH CALLED THE STATE OF JESUS? HOW ABOUT THE STATE OF MOHAMMED? IS THERE SUCH A THING? WHAT CAN WE DO AS CUCAMONGA TO PUT MORE RESPECT ON THE PROPHET'S NAMES, INCLUDING JACOB OR ISRAEL? THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS AN ETHNOSTATE THAT PRACTICES APARTHEID.

IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN OR A MUSLIM, ISRAELIS DON'T WANT YOU THERE.

THE TRUTH IS, CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA AS LITTLE AS 200 YEARS AGO WOULD LAUGH IN THE FACE OF ANYONE WHO INSISTS ON DOING BUSINESS WITH A GOVERNMENT WHO MADE THE ENTIRE HOLY LAND.

AND ETHNOSTATE, THESE PAST FEW HUNDRED YEARS HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF WORK FROM ZIONISTS TO CONVINCE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS TO BE ON THEIR SIDE WORK SUCH AS NEWLY CREATED ADDITIONS OF THE BIBLE, LIKE THE SCHOFIELD BIBLE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHICH INCLUDES DOCTORED, EXEGESIS AND ESCHATOLOGY THAT HAS NO REAL HISTORICAL OR THEOLOGICAL BASIS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT YOUR BIBLICAL DUTY TO SUPPORT THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

THERE IS NOTHING TO LEGITIMIZE THAT IDEA.

THERE IS NOTHING LEGITIMATE THAT SAYS YOU AS A CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE SUPPORTING A JEWISH ETHNOSTATE IN THE HOLY LAND THAT EXILES THE OTHER RELIGIONS.

THERE IS NOTHING LEGITIMATE IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS JESUS WILL COME BACK.

IF ISRAEL TAKES ALL OF PALESTINE, I INVITE YOU TO WAKE UP AND FEAR GOD MORE THAN YOU FEAR LOST REVENUE MORE THAN YOU FEAR LOST SOCIAL CONNECTIONS MORE THAN YOU FEAR LOSING THE RESPECT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN CARE EITHER WAY.

PLEASE, I INVITE YOU TO FEAR GOD AND WAKE UP.

CHRISTIANS ARE DYING IN PALESTINE AND IT IS NOT AT THE HANDS OF THE MUSLIMS. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

MUSLIMS INDEED ALSO RECOGNIZE JESUS AS THE PROPHET OF GOD AND THE MESSIAH WHO WILL COME BACK AT THE END OF TIMES.

AT THE SAME TIME, ISRAELIS HAVE BEEN DESTROYING THE OLDEST CHURCHES AND CITIES WHICH JESUS HAVE WALKED UPON, INCLUDING GAZA.

ME AND OTHER PALESTINE SUPPORTERS REALLY CARE ABOUT MAKING ISRAEL PALESTINE THAT LAND THE HOLY LAND, A PLACE THAT IS INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA SPENDS 4 BILLION, DO $4 MILLION A YEAR FUNDING AN APARTHEID STATE.

WE AS CHRISTIANS, AS MUSLIMS, SHOULD NOT BE ENDORSING THIS.

WE HAVE TO FEAR GOD AND OUR RELIGION AND OUR BELIEFS MORE THAN LOST REVENUE.

IT WILL NOT LEAD TO A SLIPPERY SLOPE.

I REALLY URGE YOU TO PLEASE PUT THIS TABLE ON THE BILL, UH, PUT THIS BILL ON THE TABLE AND AT LEAST VOTE ON IT.

BE MORE DEMOCRATIC.

LET US DISCUSS THIS ISSUE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

DAVID WILLIAMS, FOLLOWED BY PHILLIP E WALKER.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

UH, MAYOR.

OKAY.

MY NAME'S DAVID WILLIAMS, UH, LONGTIME RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS.

UH, I WANTED TO CALL TO ATTENTION, UH, TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON WHAT, UH, MY SISTER HERE WAS SAYING.

UH, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT DIVESTMENT AND, UH, DIVESTMENT, NAMELY IN THE, THE COMPANIES THAT THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS, UH, UTILIZING.

SPECIFICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, INTEL AND I BELIEVE, UM, UH, CATERPILLAR.

SO, UH, AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, THERE'S A GENOCIDE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN, UH, PALESTINE.

OVER ABOUT 40,000,

[00:25:02]

UH, WE THINK, UH, KEVIN WHO CAME AND GAVE THE PRESENTATION ABOUT CHILD ABUSE, OF THOSE 40,000, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT 15,000 CHILDREN HAVE BEEN SENSELY KILLED IN THIS, UH, OCCUPATION AND BOMBING CAMPAIGN THAT'S TAKEN PLACE.

SO AS PART OF OUR PART, WHAT WE CAN DO HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, WE ASK THAT THE CITY LIKEWISE TAKE, UH, UP THIS RESOLUTION AND VOTE ON DIVESTMENT.

SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO AS A LITTLE PART OF OUR, UH, CONSTITUENCY AND OUR POWER HERE TO DIVEST IN THOSE COMPANIES THAT BULLDOZE PALESTINIAN HOMES LIKE CATERPILLAR DOES.

UH, INTEL THAT PROVIDES THE, UH, MECHANISMS FOR DRONE STRIKES.

JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO, THERE WAS A WORLD KITCHEN AID, UH, AID WORKERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, UH, ALL OF THE COUNTRIES AND EUROPEAN AND EUROPE AND ASIA WHO CAME TOGETHER TO PROVIDE MEALS FOR THE STARVING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN.

THEIR CARS AND THEIR VEHICLES WERE SPECIFICALLY BOMBED, EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE THEM THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, THE LOCATION, UH, THEY WERE IN THE SAFE ZONE AND THEY COORDINATED WITH THEM THAT AID.

THEY BOMBED THEM AND KILLED ALL THOSE WORKERS FROM ALL DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

SO THIS IS A TARGETED ASSASSINATION TO STARVE THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THE CITY THAT WE'RE AT DOES EVERYTHING WE CAN IN OUR POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT A PART OF THIS VERY EASY TO DIVEST.

UH, WE CAN SWITCH THOSE COMPANIES VERY EASY TO OTHER COMPETITORS, WHICH THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETITORS IN THIS SPACE, WHICH, AND THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU.

PHILLIP E WALKER, FOLLOWED BY MOHAMMED ALI.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME.

I'M PHILLIP E WALKER, UH, RANCHO CUCAMONGA RESIDENT AND, UH, HOLLYWOOD TALENT.

I AM ELATED TO ANNOUNCE TO YOU THAT I'M RETURNING FROM THE, UH, NEW YORK PREMIER OF SWEDISH VACATION, OUR CITY'S MOST SUCCESSFUL FILM.

UH, IT WAS RECEIVED VERY WELL ON PALM SUNDAY, AND, UH, IT'S CONTINUING TO GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND, UH, SPEAK ABOUT MY DREAM OF ESTABLISHING THAT SHORT FILMS COME FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

UH, WE JUST RECEIVED THIS WEEK AN INVITATION TO RETURN TO LA LIVE AND SCREEN AT, UH, REGAL CINEMA.

AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, 100 FILMS RETREAT IS CONTINUING TO DO ITS WORK TO SERVICE THE, UH, SHORT FILMS AROUND THE WORLD.

WE NEED 10 MORE COUNTRIES TO REACH THE 100 COUNTRIES, UH, THAT, UH, THAT WE INTEND TO SELECT FOR OUR, UH, MAY 23RD, UH, THROUGH THE 28TH SCREENING OF FILMS HERE IN RANCHO.

UH, SO I'M HOPING THAT, UH, IN THIS MONTH WE'LL FIND THOSE 10 ADDITIONAL COUNTRIES TO MAKE OUR 100.

OUR GRAND OPENING IS, UH, SHAPING UP EXTREMELY WELL.

WE HAVE, UH, FOUR CONTINENTS THAT WILL BE, UH, SENDING A FILMMAKER TO WITNESS THE, UH, WORLD PREMIERE OF THEIR FILMS HERE IN RANCHER.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND, UH, HOPING THAT I'M GOING TO SOON GET A RESPONSE FROM MY PERSONAL INVITATION TO OUR MAYOR PRO TEM TO COME AND BE OUR SPECIAL GUEST ON THAT PARTICULAR MAY 23RD GRAND OPENING.

FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE NEXT RETRO CUCAMONGA SHORT FILM THAT WE ARE GOING TO PRODUCE FROM BEGINNING TO END RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY IS CALLED HAPLESS REVENGE.

IT IS THE, UH, A TALE OF THE ORIGINAL JUNETEENTH AND, UH, WE ARE, UH, PLANNING TO COMMUNICATE TO OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICE AND SEE IF THEY CAN HELP US IDENTIFY A, UH, RANCH RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY, UH, WITH HORSES SO THAT WE CAN PRODUCE THAT, UH, PRODUCTION RIGHT HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I'M HOPING TO HEAR WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO THAT, UH, THE RETRO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITY ARTS FESTIVAL WILL ACCEPT OUR, UH, REQUEST TO, UH, HAVE THE FULL CAST COME TO TOWN ON, ON THE 20TH.

AND, UH, READ THE SCRIPT THAT, UH, COUNCILMAN MEMBER HUTCHINSON WAS ABLE TO HEAR, READ BY ME,

[00:30:01]

FINALLY, THANK YOU RANCHO, FOR MAKING ALL THIS POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU.

MOHAMMAD ALI, FOLLOWED BY ANDY CORTEZ.

GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I STAND BEFORE YOU TO ASK YOU THAT NOT TO ALLOW THE CITY OF CHUKO MGA IN BEING COMPLICIT IN THE OPERATION OF OTHER PEOPLE.

NOW, ISRAEL HAS BEEN VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW SINCE IT WAS CREATED.

IT HAS VIOLATED HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF INTERNATIONAL, OF, OF UNITED NATION RESOLUTION.

AND, UH, JUST WITH THE, WITH NO, WITH IMPUNITY, WITH NO PUNISHMENT, WITH NO, WITH NO QUESTIONS.

UH, FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS, ISRAEL HAS BEEN COMMITTING GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IN GAZA AND HUM ITS NOSE AT THE WORLD, AT THE UNITED NATION, AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE AND THE WHOLE WORLD, BASICALLY.

MOREOVER, ISRAEL HAS BEEN DECLARED BY SEVERAL ORGANIZATION, AM INTERNATIONAL, THE HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, WHICH WAS HEADED BY A JEWISH, UH, PERSON, UH, BY ITS OWN HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION AND BY FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER.

BY LATE, UH, ARCHBISHOP OF SOUTH AFRICA, ARCHBISHOP DISMAN TUTU, THEY HAVE ALL DECLARED ISRAEL TO BE A STATE OF IGHT.

AND NOW ISRAEL HAS BEEN WILLFULLY DISREGARDING THIS DISREGARD.

ISRAEL HAS WILLFULLY DISREGARD INTERNATIONAL LAW AND NORMS AND HAS NO BOUNDARIES FOR THAT.

UH, THE MURDER OF THE, YOU KNOW, SEVEN PEOPLE FROM THE WORLD CENTER KITCHEN, WHICH PREVIOUS SPEAKER TALKED ABOUT.

IT JUST SHOWS, SHOWS THAT HOW FAR ISRAEL IS GONNA GO AND IT SHOWS, INDICATE ACTUALLY THAT ISRAEL IS OUTTA CONTROL.

I BELIEVE THAT, UH, IT IS TIME TO STOP ISRAEL.

IT IS TIME FOR US AT ALL LEVEL TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

AND, UH, DIVESTMENT BASICALLY IS A VERY, UH, NONVIOLENT, HUMANE AND EFFECTIVE MEANS OF ACHIEVING THIS.

UH, WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE WITH THE APPETITE WHITE AFRICAN, UH, WHITE AFRICA, WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN, UH, SOME DECADES AGO.

AND IT WORKED WELL, IT SUCCEEDED.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S, AGAIN, IT'S NONVIOLENT, IT'S A HUMANE, IT'S AN ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF, UH, ENDING OUR TIME.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ANDY CORTEZ, FOLLOWED BY NORA ABDULLAH.

HOW YOU DOING, MAYOR? CITY COUNCIL? YEAH, I'M A LONG TIME.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR LIKE 25 YEARS LIVING IN RANCHO AND I COME BECAUSE, UM, MY ALLEY, IT NEEDS TO BE REP PAVED AND I'VE BEEN GOING TO LIKE 12, 13 YEARS TO THE CITY, THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND THEY WON'T REPAIR.

THEY KEEP TELLING ME NEXT YEAR, NEXT YEAR.

AND THIS YEAR IT GOT REALLY BAD WITH THE RAIN.

THERE'S BIG OLD POTHOLES.

WE GOT FLAT TIRES AND, UM, I'M JUST ASKING FOR SOME HELP, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GO NO MORE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU JOHN.

MR. CORTEZ, I'LL HAVE, UM, UH, MICAH MARTIN, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UM, TALK TO YOU AND WE'LL GET YOUR ADDRESS AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE YOU ARE.

R THANK YOU.

NO ABDULLAH.

SORRY ABOUT THAT, MR. MAYOR AND ESTEEM BOARD.

LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I SPOKE OF HOW YOU HAVE A CHOICE AND A VERY SIMPLE ONE AT THAT I'VE SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE IN THE CITY.

I TOOK MY FIRST STEPS HERE, SPOKE MY FIRST WORDS HERE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ESTABLISHED MY FIRST COMMUNITY HERE ALONGSIDE COUNTLESS OTHER PALESTINIANS.

THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD HATE

[00:35:01]

TO BE TAINTED BY THE FACT THAT ONCE WAS OUR, OUR WONDERFUL CITY REFUSED TO, TO DIVEST FROM THE GENOCIDE OF OUR PEOPLE.

YOUR CHOICE IS VERY SIMPLE.

EITHER STAY THE WAY YOU ARE NOW AND FOREVER.

HAVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA IN OUR PEOPLE BE LINKED TO A GENOCIDE FOREVER, OR DON'T WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BY DIVESTING FROM CATERPILLAR AND INTEL, BUT WE DO HAVE THE TRUST OF OUR COMMUNITY IN A CLEAR CONSCIENCE TO GAIN.

THIS MONTH IS ALSO ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, SOMETHING OUR COMMUNITY WOULD TYPICALLY CELEBRATE.

BUT THIS YEAR WE DON'T HAVE IT IN US.

WE DON'T HAVE IT IN US.

WHILE WE KNOW OUR FAMILIES HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD ARE BEING MURDERED BY THE AMERICAN BACKED ISRAELI ARMY, I CANNOT THINK OF A SINGLE REASON WHY YOU AS MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD BE COMPELLED EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST TO KEEP TIES ON COMPANIES THAT HAVE THAT ON THEIR ROSTER.

MY PERSONAL MESSAGE TO THIS BOARD IS THAT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT IT'S TAKEN YOU THIS LONG FOR YOU TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE US.

WE HAVE A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO'S BEEN CONSISTENT IN EMAILING YOU AND TRYING TO SPEAK TO YOU.

AND IT'S QUITE HONESTLY EMBARRASSING TO BE FROM A CITY WHERE YOU GUYS HAVEN'T RESPONDED THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD EASTER WAS THIS PAST SUNDAY.

YOU HAVE CHRISTIANS ZA BEING BLOWN UP ON THEIR HOLY DAY WHO COULD NOT CELEBRATE THE, THEIR HOLY DAY IN THE MOST PROPER, AT LEAST DIGNIFIED WAY BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING BOMBED.

IT'S ALSO ALDON AND MADONNA'S COMING TO CLOSE SOON YOU HAVE MUSLIMS THE WHOLE MONTH BEING BOMBED AS WELL, NOT BEING ABLE TO BREAK THEIR FAST BECAUSE THERE'S NO AID.

WE ALSO HAVE AIDS COMING UP AT THE END OF ALDON, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFY A, A HORRIBLE TURNING POINT FOR US.

[ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

WHILE COUNCIL DIDN'T RECOMMEND ANY REVISIONS TO OUR MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES, WE'LL

[ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT]

[CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORT(S)]

[COUNCIL BUSINESS]

[I1. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL'S 2024 GOALS]

IT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARD EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND OUR MISSION IS TO CONTINUOUSLY ENSURE AND, AND ADVANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE COMMUNITY THROUGH INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING.

OUR VISION IS OUR TARGET OUTCOMES.

WHAT WE'RE AIMING TO BECOME, OUR VISION IS TO CREATE AN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND VIBRANT CITY RICH IN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO THRIVE BY BUILDING ON OUR FOUNDATION AND SUCCESS AS A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY.

AND SHOWN HERE ARE OUR EIGHT VALUES.

AND AGAIN, COUNCIL DID NOT RECOMMEND ANY REVISION FOR THE LIST OF VALUES OR MISSION AND VISION.

THEN OUR GOALS FOR 2024 COUNCIL REVIEWED THE WORK THAT STAFF HAD DONE ON A NUMBER OF KEY PROJECTS IN 2023 AND BROUGHT ONE ITEM FORWARD TO CONTINUE WORKING ON IN THIS YEAR.

AND TWO NEW ITEMS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE CITY STAFF TO FOCUS ON DURING 2024.

THE FIRST TWO GOALS RELATE TO PUBLIC SAFETY, THE FIRST OF WHICH IS OUR CONTINUED GOAL FROM 2023.

AND THIS GOAL PERTAINS TO A REVIEW OF ALL CURRENT AND PROPOSED POLICE FACILITIES IN THE CITY WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCREMENTALLY IMPROVE OUR PHYSICAL POLICING INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE SECOND PUBLIC SAFETY GOAL RELATED, UH, RELATES TO, UH, THE PROPOSED JOINT EOC AND FIRE ADMIN BUILDING, INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING OUR FIRE ADMINISTRATION AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.

CITY COUNCIL HAS ASKED US TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THE VERY BEST OF SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND FINALLY, THE THIRD GOAL RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION.

CITY COUNCIL HAS ASKED THE CITY MANAGER TO PRESENT A FINAL DESIGN FOR THE SECOND PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THE ATM S, OUR ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROGRAM.

THESE WERE THE GOALS THAT WERE DISCUSSED.

YOU HAVE ASKED US TO BRING THIS FORWARD TONIGHT FOR FORMAL ADOPTION AND TO PRESENT THEM TO THE COMMUNITY.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR MODIFICATIONS.

I'M HERE TO ASSIST QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL AS THE STAFF FOR A WELL PLANNED DAY THAT GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE AND DISCUSS THESE GOALS MOVING FORWARD, AS WELL AS SOLIDIFY OUR MISSION AND VISION.

SO IT WAS A VERY PRODUCTIVE DAY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FOR APPROVAL IF THERE IS NO OTHER DISCUSSION.

ANYONE ELSE? I'LL MAKE A SECOND.

BUT ALONG WITH THAT, I'LL JUST SAY THAT I, UH, COMPLETELY AGREE.

THESE ARE REALLY PRODUCTIVE EVENTS THAT WE TAKE THE ENTIRE DAY TO DISCUSS AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND GIVES US OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY, UH, ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT THOSE GOALS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN OUR CONSTITUENTS AND TRY AND REDUCE THOSE DOWN INTO THREE KIND OF BULLET POINTS.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS ON OUR LIST THAT WE'RE WORKING ON CONSTANTLY, BUT BECAUSE WE CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE, WE KIND OF PICK THE THREE THAT WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON THIS YEAR.

BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE HAVE A MUCH, MUCH LONGER LIST OF, TO DO THINGS THAT WE HAVE THAT, UH, COME DIRECTLY FROM YOU.

AND THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO COME TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH SOME COHESIVE GOALS AND SET OUR CITY STAFF TO IT.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO PUTS IN A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE THOSE VERY PRODUCTIVE, UH, PRESENTATIONS.

AND SO, I'LL MAKE A SECOND.

OKAY.

I THINK THEY'VE SAID ENOUGH.

, I THINK IT'S VERY CAP, IT CAP CAPTURES EVERYTHING THAT WENT ON.

UM, BUT TO, TO ADD ON WHAT COUNCILMAN HUTCHINSON INDICATED, OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS IN EACH DEPARTMENT WORK WITH THEIR STAFFS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN GOALS AND NEEDS THAT WE REVIEW ALSO.

SO, UM, UH, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY.

WE DO IT EVERY YEAR.

THERE'S NOT MANY CITIES THAT PUT A CITY COUNCIL TOGETHER.

FIVE INDIVIDUALS SPENDING A WHOLE DAY.

PART OF THAT DAY IS TEAM BUILDING, INTERACTING, UNDERSTANDING THE WAY WE'RE GONNA CONDUCT OURSELVES IN BUSINESS AND IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS AS, AND THEN THE REST OF THE DAY IS DEALING WITH GOALS AND, AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE PERTINENT TO MOVING THE CITY
