THERE WASN'T A BICYCLE AVAILABLE AND THE ENTIRE REGION OF THE INLAND EMPIRE, SO IT'S NATIONAL BICYCLE MONTH.

SO DO WE HAVE BICYCLES? WELL, I THINK WE DO, AND THERE'S MORE AVAILABLE IF YOU'D LIKE TO ALL START RIDING.

UM, WE ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GET OUT THERE AND, UM, I'M GONNA SAY A LITTLE BIT, BUT I'D LIKE TO PASS IT ALONG TO OUR SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS AS WELL TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

BUT, UM, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AS A CITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROCLAMATION.

SO I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY PASS THE MIC OVER TO BILL TO SPEAK A A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON AND MAYBE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EXCITING EVENT WE HAVE, UH, HAPPENING ON SATURDAY.

YES, YES.

UM, ONE OF THE, UM, AMAZING THINGS ABOUT RANCHO CUCAMONGA, WE HAVE, UH, SOMETHING CALLED THE PE TRAIL PACIFIC ELECTRIC TRAIL, AND IT IS A PHENOMENAL GIFT FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND ONE THAT NOT ONLY SHOULD WE CHERISH, BUT TAKE GOOD CARE OF THAT.

WITH THAT SAID, UH, THIS SATURDAY MORNING, UH, 8:00 AM UH, OUT ON

BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS SEE WHO ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY SHARING THE BICYCLING WITH US, BUT ALSO THE OTHER, MANY OTHER FORMS OF, UM, HOW THE PE TRAIL'S USED.

AND THEN ULTIMATELY, TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE THE COMMUNITY BE AS SAFE AS THE PE TRAIL IS, BECAUSE THE PE TRAIL IS VERY SAFE, VERY SECURE.

AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS SO MANY OF US HAVE, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US WHO ARE A LITTLE OLDER, WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANNA GET RAN OVER BY A CAR.

, .

NO, NO, NO.

BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL ON, UH, THIS SATURDAY MORNING.

AND I JUST WANNA SAY WE HAVE SOME STAFF HERE THAT PARTICIPATES IN OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, UM, THAT CYCLES, UH, UH, ON, YOU KNOW, AVIDLY FOR RECREATION.

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU.

THIS BRINGS US TO OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION.

THIS IS THE TIME AND PLACE FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK TO ANY ITEM ON OR NOT ON THE AGENDA.

YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL, AND THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION WILL NOT EXCEED

[C. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS]

TONIGHT WE HAVE FIVE SPEAKERS.

THE FIRST SPEAKER IS AARON TY, FOLLOWED BY LANCE ASHRA.

AND AS YOU APPROACH THE PODIUM, THERE IS A LIGHT ON THE MICROPHONE THAT WILL TURN OFF AFTER THREE MINUTES, SO YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG ON THE PO ON THE SCREEN TO ENSURE YOUR THREE MINUTES.

AND YOU'D LIKE TO USE THE DISPLAY? YES.

SO, MR. KITTY, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

OKAY.

OH, UH, I'M STILL ATTEMPTING TO GET THE, UH, THE, THE GATE HERE ON THE CORNER OF, UH, TURQUOISE AND JEANETTE OPEN TO GET ACCESS TO THE CUCAMONGA CREEK TRAIL.

UM, APPARENTLY THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY ON THE, UH, ON THE TRAIL.

AND, AND, AND, AND, UH, I JUST WANNA REITERATE THAT, UH, IF YOU GO ON THE UPLAND SIDE OF THE TRAIL, IT'S OPEN.

SO I'M REALLY, UH, I'M REALLY CURIOUS TO WHY IT CAN BE OPEN ON THE UPLAND SIDE AND NOT ON THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA SIDE.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS OR ANY OF THE STAFF HAS CONTACTED UPLAND OR THEIR COUNTERPARTS TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY CAN DO IT AND WHAT CONCERNS THEY'VE HAD.

UM, UH, I DID A, UM, A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE CRIME RATES BETWEEN, UH, UPLAND AND, AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

SO APPARENTLY THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA CITIZENS ARE BETTER BEHAVED THAN THE ONES IN THE UPLAND BECAUSE OUR CRIME RATE IS LOWER.

SO TO ME, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST ANOTHER INDICATION THAT WE SHOULD BE CRESTED IN ENTERING THE ROYAL THERE.

UM, THIS, HERE'S A TRAIL, UH, A TRAIL YOU CAN TAKE FROM TURQUOISE AND JEANETTE ALL THE WAY TO AL LOMA HIGH SCHOOL.

SO BY OPENING UP, YOU KNOW, THAT GATE, UH, WILL GIVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS A MEANS OF RIDING THEIR BICYCLES TO SCHOOL VERSUS, I GUESS THEY COULD DO IT BY GOING TO THE CORNER OF, UH, OF, UH, ABANDONED AND SAPPHIRE.

BUT THAT'S A FOUR-WAY, UH, STOP SIGN THERE.

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE SAFER IF THEY USED JEANETTE AND TURQUOISE.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IN ADDITIONAL TO ACCESSING THE BIKE TRAIL, THERE'S HIKING TRAILS IN THE ROYAL THERE, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS THAT THEY CAN SEE.

THERE'S WILDLIFE AND THERE'S ALSO CONSTRUCTION.

IN, UH, 2018, UH, THE COUNTY STARTED ENDEAVOR TO REFURBISH THE, UM, THE, UH, RECHARGE POOLS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN THE, UH, IN THE, IN 19, IN THE 1930S BY THE CCC.

SO, UH, THEY, UH, THEY REFURBISHED SEVEN OTHER, OTHER, UH, PERCOLATING PONDS TO GATHER THE RAINWATER, SIR.

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LANCE ASRA, FOLLOWED BY HUSAM SULEMAN.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THANK YOU.

CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE ABILITY TO SPEAK HERE.

FIRST, I WANNA SAY I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH.

MY WIFE IS MARRIED AND FAMILY THERAPIST AT A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS IN UPLAND, SO SHE WORKS WITH KIDS.

SO I, AND I USED TO JUST, UH, STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION TOO.

SO, SO WHEN I SAW THEM GET AWARDED IT, IT JUST WARMED MY HEART TO, TO SEE THAT.

SO I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

UM, UH, SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO, LIKE I NORMALLY DO, IS I PRAY, BUT THERE'S A SCRIPTURE I THOUGHT THE LORD PUT ON MY HEART.

I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK IT OVER THE COUNCIL, OVER

[00:25:01]

IT'S A BLESSING FROM THE BOOK OF NUMBERS.

AND IT GOES, I LOVE THIS VERSION.

IT SAYS, THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.

MAY HE PROTECT YOU, SUSTAIN YOU, AND GUARD YOU, THE LORD, MAKE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU WITH FAVOR.

MAY HE BE GRACIOUS TO YOU IN SURROUNDING YOU WITH LOVING KINDNESS.

THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE, HIS FACE UPON YOU WITH DIVINE APPROVAL, AND GIVE YOU PEACE, A TRANQUIL HEART AND, AND LIFE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST DECLARE THAT OVER EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY HERE, AND THEN JUST PRAY OVER THAT.

SO FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD, LORD, THANK YOU FOR THE COUNCIL, CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER, LORD, I PRAY YOUR BLESSING FOR THEM, THE, UH, STAFF, FOR RANCHO LORD, OUR POLICE OFFICERS, OUR FIREFIGHTERS, LORD, FOR ALL THOSE THAT THAT WORK HERE, EVEN FOR THOSE THAT LIVE HERE.

LORD, JUST PRAYING YOUR PROTECTION, YOUR BLESSING, THANK YOU FOR, FOR CITY THAT, THAT, UM, THAT WHERE THERE IS PEACE, LORD, WHERE THERE IS A LOW CRIME RATE, LORD, WHAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY LORD.

SO WE CONTINUE TO JUST ASK YOUR PROTECTION, ASK YOUR BLESSING, LORD.

AND I ASK THAT, FATHER, YOU WOULD JUST SHOWER YOUR LOVE UPON EVERY CITIZEN HERE, THAT THEY WOULD COME TO KNOW YOU AND COME TO KNOW YOUR SON, JESUS LORD.

SO I JUST, I ASK YOUR BLESSING ON THIS, ON THIS MEETING AND GOING FORWARD, LORD.

SO WE LOVE YOU.

WE BLESS YOU IN JESUS NAME.

AMEN.

AMEN.

THANK YOU, MR. ASHRA.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER, HUSAM SULEMAN, FOLLOWED BY JOHNNY GREEN.

GOOD EVENING, UH, COUNCIL MAYOR, PRO TEM, AND EVERYBODY HERE IN ATTENDANCE.

YOU KNOW, I, I CAME HERE, I WANTED TO SHARE A VIDEO, BUT, UM, I DECIDED NOT TO.

'CAUSE IT WAS SLIGHTLY GRUESOME.

AND IT WAS, UM, IT WAS A VIDEO TAKEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHERE, UH, THE ISRAELI MILITARY DUG A DITCH ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOL, AND THEY HAD PALESTINIANS WALK IN IT, UM, BOUND WITH THE ZIP TIES, AND THEY JUST EXECUTED THEM, UH, POINT BLANK, UH, AND THEY EXECUTED.

THERE WERE SOME KIDS, THEY WERE 14 YEARS OLD.

THERE WERE SENIORS, THERE WERE DOCTORS STILL WEARING THEIR SCRUBS, AND THEN THEY COVERED, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST, AFTER THEY EXECUTED EVERYONE, THEY JUST COVERED IT WITH DIRT.

AND, UM, MANY OF THESE MASS GRAVES ARE JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED.

UM, AND WHILE, WHILE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, VERY DISTURBING AND VERY UPSETTING, UH, AS A RESIDENT OF RANCHO, I'M MORE UPSET TO KNOW THAT, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL IS CHOOSING TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT BENEFIT FROM SUCH WAR CRIMES.

UM, AND, AND THAT'S REALLY AN ATROCITY HERE FOR ALL, ALL, ALL OF THE RESIDENTS HERE.

AND, UM, I, AS WELL AS, UH, SOME OF MY FRIENDS AND, AND OTHER CONCERNED RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN COMING FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS HERE.

UM, AND WE'VE JUST, AND WE'VE EMAILED AND WE'VE CALLED, AND WE'VE JUST BEEN ASKING THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER DIVESTING FROM SUCH, UH, COMPANIES THAT BENEFIT, THAT MATERIALLY BENEFIT FROM THESE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED WAR CRIMES, CRIMES.

UM, BUT WE'VE BEEN IGNORED.

AND, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO SAY, IT'S NOT REALLY SURPRISING BECAUSE, UM, THE, THE REALITY IS THAT MOST AMERICANS, UH, AND THE, AND MOST, UH, RESIDENTS OF RANCH CUCAMONGA, THEY, THEY DON'T WANNA BE ASSOCIATED WITH GENOCIDE.

AND THAT'S JUST A SIMPLE FACT.

THE STATS ARE OUT THERE.

UH, HOWEVER, MOST OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND I HATE TO SAY UNFORTUNATELY, INCLUDING YOU GUYS, UH, CHOOSE TO SIMPLY IGNORE THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT WE'VE LEARNED, UH, WITH THESE HUNDREDS OF COLLEGE ENCAMPMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN POPPING UP, UM, ALL ACROSS AMERICA IS THAT, UM, FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIONS, UM, YIELD RESULTS.

UH, AND AS SUCH, UM, BEING THAT THE RESIDENTS OF RANCHO HAVE BEEN IGNORED FOR SO LONG, THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS NOW THAT ARE PLANNING FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIONS IN RANCHO.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, THE, THE REALITY OF THESE IS THAT THEY DO SQUANDER CITY RESOURCES, UH, BECAUSE THE, YOU KNOW, POLICE RESPONSE AND HELICOPTER AND, AND, YOU KNOW, UH, SHERIFF OVERTIME AND, AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I I WOULD SAY IT'D BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE THESE RESOURCES SPENT ON MENTAL HEALTH OR SPENT ON THE TRAIL, OR SPENT ON PUBLIC WORKS.

BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN, WHEN THE RESIDENTS, UH, GO IGNORED FOR SO LONG, THERE REALLY IS NO OTHER OPTION, UH, BUT TO PLAN THESE ACTIONS.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, IN CLOSING, I WOULD STILL SUGGEST THAT THE CITY, UH, COUNCIL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENT, CONSTITUENT CONSTITUENCY WHEN THEY DO SAY TO DIVEST, AND, UM, TO ALL THOSE IN ATTENDANCE, IF YOU, AND, AND THE CITY COUNCIL AS WELL, IF YOU ARE OPPOSED TO GENOCIDE, UH, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND JOIN IN SOME OF THESE, UM, UH, ACTIONS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. SULEMAN.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER, JOHNNY GREEN, FOLLOWED BY PHILIP E. WALKER.

[00:30:13]

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF PHILLIP E WALKER AT 100 FILM RETREAT.

I'M HERE TO THANK LYNN B KENNEDY FOR ACCEPTING TO OPEN UP OUR FIFTH 100 FILM RETREAT HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

RYAN HUTCHINSON CAME TO VISIT US AND OPENED UP THE FOURTH ONE.

HE SHINED SO BRIGHT, AND IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL.

HE MADE A BEAUTIFUL CAKE AND HE LEFT IT SPARKLING.

SO, MRS. KENNEDY, WE ARE EXPECTING YOU TO ICE THAT CAKE WHEN YOU COME ON ON MAY 23RD.

AND I KNOW WHEN YOU LEAVE, IT'S GONNA BE SO BRIGHT THAT EVERYBODY IN RANCHO CUCA MAGA GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE IT.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANNA LET THE COUNCIL KNOW, I'M, UH, I'VE BEEN IN CORPORATE AMERICA FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS AND RETIRED IN 2016 WHEN PHILIP TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO.

I KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN I SEE IT.

AND SO HE, HIS, HIS GOAL WAS TO CREATE WHERE, UH, PRODUCERS ALL OVER THE WORLD COULD SEND THEIR MOVIES IN AND GET JUDGED ON IT.

AND THAT, UH, 100 FILM RETREAT WOULD PUT RANCHO CUCAMONGA ON THE MAP.

HE HAS DONE THAT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD MOVIE PRODUCERS FROM IRELAND, ALL DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT UNLESS I TELL YOU THEY'VE COME HERE AND SPENT THE NIGHT FOUR NIGHTS HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

WE'VE HAD, UM, MOVIE PRODUCERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN, I MEAN, UM, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, ALL OVER THE WORLD, TEXAS, UH, MOST RECENTLY, DUBLIN, IRELAND.

UM, WE HAD SOMEONE FROM, UM, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

SO I CAN TELL, I CAN STAND HERE AND TELL YOU THAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS NOW ON THE MAP BECAUSE OF PHILIP E. WALKER.

THERE'VE BEEN TIME, I WOULD TELL PEOPLE, I'M FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I MANAGE A STORE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, WHERE IS RANCHO CUCAMONGA? AND I'D SAY, OH, WATCH THAT MOVIE FRIDAY WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THE 10TH FREEWAY TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE.

I CAN TELL YOU NOW.

WE ARE GONNA OPEN UP WITH YOU ON THE 23RD.

WHAT DO WE HAVE? PROBABLY A HUNDRED, UH, DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT'S GOT THEIR FILM.

SO RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS ON THE MAP.

Y'ALL WE'RE PROBABLY THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CITY IN THE WORLD, NOT JUST IN THE STATE SIDE, BUT YOU'RE KNOWN IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M SO EXCITED THAT I'M PART OF THIS.

SO THE TRAIN IS COMING.

THE NEXT VISION IS TO SEE, UH, PRODUCERS COMING HERE FROM OUT OF COUNTRY AND BEING ABLE TO WATCH MOVIES ON THE TRAIN GOING TO VEGAS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, MS. GREEN.

AND OUR LAST SPEAKER THIS EVENING, PHILIPPI WALKER.

I'M PHILIPPI WALKER, A NEAR DECADE RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND EMPLOYED AS A HOLLYWOOD TALENT.

UM, UM, THE FIRST DAY OF THIS MONTH OF MENTAL ILLNESS, I SHOT MY 101ST MUSIC VIDEO AS A HOMELESS MAN WHO HAS A TRANSFORMATION, BUT I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT HOLLYWOOD.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND OUR GOAL TO ESTABLISH IN THE WORLD'S CONSCIOUSNESS THAT SHORT FILMS COME FROM RANCHO CU CUCAMONGA.

AS YOU KNOW, SWEDISH VACATION HAS BEEN TRAVELING ALL AROUND THE WORLD, SPREADING AND SHOWING EXAMPLES OF SHORT FILMS COMING FROM OUR CITY.

AND, UH, I CAN, UH, LET YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS JUST SELECTED TO SCREEN AT THE INTERNATIONAL BLACK THEATER FESTIVAL IN AUGUST.

THAT'S A VERY, VERY BIG FESTIVAL IN NORTH CAROLINA.

AND I'M GOING, I'M GOING TO BE THERE.

UM, AS, UH, UH, UH, MS. GREEN MENTIONED 100 FILMS RETREAT IS CONTINUING ITS WORK OF SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT SHORT FILMS IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND I AM ELATED TO TELL YOU THAT WE ACTUALLY REACHED 100 COUNTRIES TO BE REPRESENTED, BEGINNING ON MAY 23RD AND ON THROUGH THE 26TH OF MAY.

WE'RE

[00:35:01]

IT WASN'T EASY, BUT WE PULLED IT OFF, UM, ON OUR FIRST DAY.

AS MS. GREEN MENTIONED, UH, THE MAYOR PRO, TIM KENNEDY HAS, UH, GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO COME AND EVOKE ON OUR, ON OUR OPENING.

AND, UH, THAT OPENING IS ALREADY SOLD OUT.

PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT BEING IN, UH, IN THE SAME ROOM WITH OUR GRACIOUS MAYOR PRO TEM.

BUT PERHAPS THE MOST EXCITING THING THAT'S HAPPENING, AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT, IS HAPLESS REVENGE.

HAPLESS REVENGE HAS BEEN GETTING SO MUCH ATTENTION AND IT ISN'T EVEN CREATED YET.

IT'S STILL JUST A SCRIPT.

WE READ IT, UH, PUBLICLY AT THE RANCHO K MONGA COMMUNITY ARTS FESTIVAL, AND WE WILL READ IT AGAIN, UH, AT THE BEGINNING OF 100 FILMS RETREAT ON THE 23RD, AND THEN WE WILL ACTUALLY PRODUCE IT ALL HERE, RIGHT HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND IT WILL HAVE ITS WORLD PREMIERE IN SACRAMENTO ON JUNETEENTH EVE.

SO SHORT FILMS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR CITY.

WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US, AND WE, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING IT MORE AND MORE KNOWN THAT SHORT FILMS COME FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

THANK YOU, MR. WALKER.

STAFF HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTING METHODS TO IMPROVE PARKING MANAGEMENT IN AREAS OF HIGH DEMAND.

TWO, NEWLY CONSTRUCTED MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCES.

THE WESTBURY AND THE CO APARTMENTS WERE CONDITIONED TO INSTALL PARKING ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF EAST AVENUE.

A TOTAL OF 27 NEW ON STREET SPACES WERE INSTALLED.

TO MANAGE THE ON STREET PARKING STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED THE CREATION OF THE EAST AVENUE PAID PARKING ZONE.

THE NEW ZONE WOULD ENCOMPASS THE WEST SIDE OF EAST AVENUE FROM HOOD, FROM PRO HILL BOULEVARD UP TO MARSHALL COURT AND ALONG FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY 750 FEET WEST OF EAST AVENUE.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE 27 ON STREET PARKING SPACES IN THE NEW ZONE.

UH, THERE'S, UH, APARTMENTS ON HERMOSA JUST NORTH OF FOOTHILL THAT HAVE PARKING THERE.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT PARALLEL PARKING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT, WHERE YOU ACTUALLY BACK INTO IT.

AND I REALLY LIKE THAT AS A BICYCLIST.

UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN I RIDE UP HERMOSA AND I PASS THOSE CARS, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PLAN.

AND, UH, THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T STATE, UH, THE TYPE OF PARKING THAT, THAT THESE APARTMENTS WILL HAVE.

UH, IF THEY'RE SIMILAR TO THAT, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA.

THANK YOU.

IS IT PARALLEL PARKING OR IS IT THE PARKING CENTER? UH, IT'S PARALLEL PARKING THAT WAS INSTALLED.

NOW, THE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT THEY HAVE ON HERMOSA IS AS IF, AS YOU'RE RIDING A BICYCLE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A CAR DOOR OPENING UP ON YOU, YOU KNOW, AND THE, AND THE DRIVERS OF THE CAR CAN ACTUALLY SEE YOU.

SO WITH THAT, LET ME INTRODUCE MARISSA OTO, OUR MANAGEMENT ANALYST TWO IN ENGINEERING TO GIVE THE STAFF REPORT ON THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU, MR. ELLISON.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PROTI AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

UM, I WILL BE PRESENTING THE STAFF REPORT FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM.

THE MAYOR PROTI WILL THEN CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING FOLLOWING MY PRESENTATION.

I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME BACKGROUND ON THE MANDATORY PAYMENT PROGRAM.

UM, THE, IT'S OUTLINED IN SECTION 8.1, 7.170 OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE AND APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL IN 2011.

THIS ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR MANDATORY SERVICE, FOR PAYMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL, UM, SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE.

PRIOR TO 2011, THE WASTE HAULER WOULD STOP PROVIDING SERVICE WHEN AN ACCOUNT WAS PASSED DUE.

SO SOME PROPERTIES WERE LATE OR THEY NEVER PAID THEIR BILL, WHICH RESULTED IN STOCKPILING OR ILLEGALLY DUMPING TRASH.

THE ORDINANCE WAS THEN ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE STOCKPILING OF SOLID WASTE ON PROPERTIES AND TO HELP CURB ILLEGAL DUMPING ANNUALLY.

THE FRANCHISE WASTE HAULER BURRTEC PROVIDES THE CITY WITH A LIST OF ACCOUNTS THAT ARE 60 OR MORE PAST DUE FROM THE PREVIOUS CALENDAR YEAR TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND LIEN PROCESS.

THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO SEND OUT PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES BY MAIL TO PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE DELINQUENT LIST AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WERE ON THE, THE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS LIST ON APRIL 12TH, 2024, EXCUSE ME.

AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS ALSO ADVERTISED IN THE INLAND VALLEY DAILY BULLETIN ON APRIL 16TH.

THE ACCRUAL PERIOD FOR THE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS THAT ARE ON THE LIST ARE FROM JANUARY 1ST THROUGH

[00:50:01]

UM, EC ALSO PROVIDED AN UPDATE OF THE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS.

SO, UM, CURRENTLY AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE 600 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS ON THE LIST.

UM, AND IT DOES COME OUT TO $241,841.

PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE STILL ON THE DELINQUENCY LIST DO HAVE UNTIL JULY 12TH TO SUBMIT PAYMENT TO EC.

THE FINAL LIST WILL THEN BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY FOR THE 2024 2024 TAX RULE, WHICH IS DUE ON AUGUST 10TH, 2024, TO THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR.

AS A RESULT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES THAT WE RECEIVED, WE DID RECEIVE 26 INQUIRIES AND A TOTAL OF 27 VISITS TO OUR FAQ ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, AND THE CITY ALSO RECEIVED ONE WRITTEN PROTEST.

A PROPERTY OWNER ON THE DELINQUENT LIST DOES HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE PUBLIC HEARING TO SUBMIT A PROTEST.

AND WITH THAT, THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY REPORT, AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL BEFORE I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NO ONE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MAYOR PRO, I JUST LIKE TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS ITS DELINQUENCY TO GET THAT PAID.

YOU HAVE ALMOST TWO MONTHS TO DO IT BEFORE IT SHOWS UP ON YOUR TAX BILL.

SO GET OUT THOSE TEXTBOOKS AND PAY THOSE BILLS BEFORE THEY GET MORE EXPENSIVE.

THANK YOU, MR. HUTCHINSON.
