JONI GREEN, FOLLOWED BY MARY DENNIS EL UH, UH, MARY, UM, EL DENNIS.

[00:10:01]

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

BUT I'M HERE TO, UH, THANK YOUR MAYOR PRO TEMP FOR COMING OUT AND OPEN UP THE 100 FILM RETREAT NUMBER FIVE, WHICH SHE ICED A CAKE THAT RYAN HUTCHINSON MADE WHEN HE CAME AND OPENED UP NUMBER FOUR.

SO, EL DENNIS.

MICHAEL, WHAT WE DID WAS WE SAVED SOME OF THAT CAKE BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO THE NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS GONNA BE AUGUST 15TH, AND WE'LL GET MORE INFORMATION TO YOU THAT YOU WILL COME AND OPEN US UP.

ALSO, WE ARE NOT GONNA EAT ALL THE CAKE WHEN HE COME.

WE'RE GONNA SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF THE COUNSELOR.

THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE DECEMBER 5TH.

THAT'S THE MONTH OF MY BIRTHDAY.

SO YOU ARE WELCOME TO CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE DATES.

WE ARE GONNA DO THIS EVERY THREE MONTHS FOREVER.

THIS LAST RETREAT THAT WE HAD, WE HAD 100 FILMS FROM, UH, NATIONAL FILMS OF OTHER COUNTRIES.

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME.

MOST TIME IT'S LIKE 60 OR SO, AND THE REST OF 'EM ARE AMERICAN.

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IT, MAYOR, UH, MICHAEL.

BUT RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CITY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE PHILIPPINE WALKER HAS STARTED SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED 100 FILM RETREAT, WHERE WE WATCH 100 SHORT FILMS EVERY QUARTER.

AND SOME OF THESE PRODUCERS ARE COMING HERE FROM OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

SO LAST TIME I WAS HERE, THEY RAISED THE, UH, PERCENTAGE OF TAXES ON HOTELS.

SO I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU GUYS CAN GET READY TO BUILD MORE HOTELS BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MOVIE PRODUCERS COMING TO WATCH THEIR FILM HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I HAD PEOPLE WHO SAY, WHO IS RANCHO CUCAMONGA? I ALWAYS SAY IT'S DOWN THE 10 FREEWAY WHERE THE FILM FRIDAY WAS MADE.

I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE WE ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO DO A FILM.

UH, NEXT WEEK WHEN HE APPROACHED ME ABOUT HELPING HIM, I COULD SEE THE VISION.

SO I'M HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WILL HELP US BUILD WHAT HE HAS STARTED.

IT'S, IT'S A WONDERFUL THING THAT WE ARE DOING, AND I AM JUST SO HAPPY TO BE HERE AND BE A PART OF IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO, IF, IF MAYOR PRO TEM KENNEDY MADE THE CAKE AND COUNCILMAN HUTCHINSON PUT THE ICING ON IT, CONNECT WITH THE OH, HE HE DID THE OPPOSITE.

HE MADE THE CAKE.

OH, SHE PUT THE ICING.

YES.

AND I ASKED, OKAY, I GOT IT BACKWARDS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, UM, I'LL PUT CANDLES ON IT FOR YOU.

THAT'S FINE TOO.

ARE OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PHILIPPI WALKER.

I AM PHILIPPI WALKER, A NOW DECADE RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND FULL-TIME HOLLYWOOD TALENT BEING CONSIDERED RIGHT NOW FOR A SPOKESMAN GIG.

I HOPE I GET IT.

UM, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I CAME TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT.

I CAME TO REPORT THAT IT'S ABOUT TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

HAPLESS REVENGE, THAT SCREENPLAY THAT SHOWED UP ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE OF 100 FILMS RETREAT, A SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE THAT JOHNNY GREEN MANAGES THAT SHOWED UP THERE FROM IRAN.

AND IN A MINUTE, AS WE BEGAN OUR EXTENSIVE JUNETEENTH WEEK, IT WILL BE ACTUALLY PRODUCED AS A FILM.

WE ARE SO EXCITED TO GET TO THIS PARTICULAR STAGE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN READING IT AND, AND, UH, WORKING ON IT AND SUCH, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO SHOOT IT.

AND I, UH, UH, THANK THIS CITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT CREATED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

BUT I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.

UH, ALL OF MY FILMS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS HAVE BEEN MADE TOTALLY WITHIN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND THAT WAS MY PLAN FOR HAPLESS REVENGE.

I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A HORSE FARM IN WHICH TO SHOOT THE FILM.

UM, IT'S QUITE AN EPIC FILM , DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT'S ONLY FIVE MINUTES.

AND SO WE ARE ON

[00:15:01]

I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND A WAY TO KEEP RANCHO CUCAMONGA CONNECTED TO THIS PRODUCTION THAT IT WAS BIRTHED RIGHT HERE.

UM, I'LL BE MAKING A PROPOSAL TO, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND SEEING IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SPONSORING SOME ASPECT OF THIS PRODUCTION.

UH, THIS PRODUCTION'S PURPOSE IS TO IGNITE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WORTHINESS OF GOVERNMENTS CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH.

I'M SORRY THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO BE HERE WHEN YOU MEET ON JUNETEENTH IN A FEW IN, UH, UH, TWO WEEKS.

UM, BECAUSE I'LL BE IN SACRAMENTO WORKING ON ENCOURAGING OUR STATE TO CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

WITH THOSE PRESENT WITH COUNCIL MEMBER STICKLER ABSENT.

THANK YOU.

UM, OUR NEXT ITEM IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE

[F. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

SO THIS ITEM CAME BEFORE YOU, UM, APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO.

AND IT IS THE, UM, THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND DESERT EXPRESS ENTERPRISES, WHICH IS ALSO BRIGHT LINE WEST.

UM, AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW IS THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THAT DDA AND THAT WILL COVER A PORTION OF PROPERTY THAT'S LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MILLIKEN AVENUE AND AZUSA COURT.

UM, IT INCLUDES A REVISED SITE PLAN.

THIS IS UPDATED WITH THE LATEST DESIGN FOR THE STATION, UM, AT THAT SITE, A GRANT DEED, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS EASEMENTS ACROSS PORTIONS OF RIGHT OF WAY ON EIGHTH STREET ON MILLIKEN AVENUE AND THE CUCAMONGA STATION PROPERTY.

ALL OF THIS TOGETHER, THE DDA PLUS, ALL THE UM, EASEMENT AGREEMENTS WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH SPEED RAIL STATION ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED TRACK IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

UM, THIS IS IN OUR HEART DISTRICT, OUR HAVEN ARROW, ROCHESTER TRANSIT DISTRICT.

ALSO, AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND EASEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE CITY S-B-T-C-A-S-B-C-T-A, AND BRIGHT LINE WEST.

AND IT IS A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT, UM, EASEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US, UM, THAT PERTAINS TO HOW WE'RE GOING TO, UM, OPERATE THE PROPERTIES.

SO, UM, I'LL NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL DDA HAS BEEN, UM, AMENDED A COUPLE TIMES SINCE IT WAS FIRST APPROVED IN OCTOBER OF 2022.

UH, THIS IS THE FOURTH AND FINAL AMENDMENT, UM, TO IT.

UM, IT DOES UPDATE THE STATION SITE PLAN.

WE HAVE WORKED OUT ALL THE DETAILS ON CIRCULATION AND PARKING.

IT AMENDS ALL THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS AND EASEMENTS TO ALIGN WITH THAT NEW STATION SITE PLAN.

UM, IT ADDRESSES THE INSPECTOR OF RECORD PROCESS, UM, TO ALLOW FOR SOME THE CITY'S INDEPENDENT REVIEW

[00:20:01]

UM, IN ADDITION, UH, IT INCLUDES, UM, COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THAT, UM, HELP DEFINE HOW THE PROPERTY SHALL BE OPERATED, UM, AND IMPROVED, UM, AND MAINTAINED FOR TRANSIT RELATED PURPOSES.

SETS OUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THAT AGREEMENT, AGAIN, PROVIDES FOR THOSE EASEMENTS, INCLUDING TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS.

UM, WHILE THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY, TALKS ABOUT HOW WE WILL ADDRESS ANY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SITE.

ELEVATOR ACCESS, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT FOR A DA ACCESS.

UM, PROVIDES ALL THE APPROPRIATE INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE AND PLACES A REQUIREMENT ON BRIGHT LINE TO COMPLETE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR AZUA COURT, ANAHEIM PLACE, MILLIKEN AVENUE, ALL THE RELATED INTERSECTIONS AND THE INSTALLATION OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT AZUA COURT AND MILLIKEN PLACE.

WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE IN THERE A PROVISION FOR, UH, A POTENTIAL OF PUBLIC ART AT CUCAMONGA STATION IN AN AMOUNT UP TO 1.5 MILLION DEPENDING ON FUNDING, UM, THAT BRIGHT LINE'S ABLE TO OBTAIN.

AND WE'VE UPDATED ALL THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS.

UH, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW HAS LONG SINCE BEEN COMPLETED FOR THIS PROJECT.

THERE IS, UH, AN UP UPDATED, UM, APPRAISAL THAT'S CURRENTLY HAPPENING NOW.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT APPRAISAL TO BE COMPLETED HOPEFULLY, UM, IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS.

IT'S AN UPDATE TO THE APPRAISAL.

UM, SHOULDN'T TAKE AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL, UM, APPRAISAL TOOK.

UM, AND THEN THIS DOCUMENT TONIGHT, UM, ONCE YOU APPROVE IT, IT WILL THEN GO TO S-B-C-T-A.

THEY WILL BE TAKING ACTION ON IT IN JULY.

UM, AND ONCE THEY TAKE ACTION ON IT, THEN THE TRANSACTION CAN CLOSE, MOST LIKELY SOMETIME IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, POSSIBLY A LITTLE EARLIER.

BUT IT JUST SEEMS BETWEEN THE APPRAISAL AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT AUGUST IS THE MOST LIKELY TIME.

SO WE ADDRESSED ALL THE, UM, SURPLUS LAND ACT ISSUES.

WE'VE ADDRESSED GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY.

WE'VE ADDRESSED THE FISCAL IMPACTS, UH, ON THE CITY, UH, THAT WILL RESULT, UM, FROM THIS PROJECT.

AND SO, UM, WE, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ALL THESE AGREEMENTS TONIGHT.

THIS WOULD BE, UH, AT, WE ANTICIPATE AT THIS POINT THE FINAL TIME THAT YOU WOULD SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU.

UM, PROBABLY THE NEXT, UH, SIGNIFICANT THING AFTER THIS WOULD BE, UM, AFTER THE CLOSURE OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH NOBODY WILL SEE ANYTHING VISIBLE FROM THAT, BUT BRIGHT LINE WOULD TAKE POSSESSION.

AND THEN PROBABLY IN, UH, SOMETIME IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS OF NEXT YEAR IS YOU WOULD SEE, UM, CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES START ON SITE.

THERE ARE SOME UNDERGROUND BORINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

THEY'VE BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE.

THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE FOR A WHILE.

BRIGHTLINE HAS A LOT OF, UM, UH, EXPLORATORY WORK IN THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO VERIFY SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS IN THAT.

SO THAT'LL HAPPEN FOR QUITE A WHILE.

UM, BUT THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WOULD BEGIN, UH, EARLY NEXT YEAR.

SO WITH THAT, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEY AND I ARE AVAILABLE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

UM, BUT THIS IS A RESULT OF TWO YEARS OF WORK UPDATING, WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS GONNA BE SIX MONTHS, BUT IT WAS TWO YEARS UPDATING EVERYTHING.

UM, BUT WE BELIEVE WE HAVE EVERYTHING WORKED OUT.

SO ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE OPEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OF THE CITY MANAGER OR OUR CITY ATTORNEY? OKAY, THANK YOU.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

WE HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS, CORRECT? CORRECT.

OKAY.

SO HEARING NONE.

YES, MR. WALKER.

GO, GO.

THANK YOU.

UM, WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ANY COMMENTS, UM, THOUGHTS REGARDING THIS APPROVAL? I DO, MR. MAYOR.

UH, I'D LIKE TO JUST THANK THE CITY STAFF, THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR PUTTING ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS.

ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THINGS, I THINK, IS TRYING TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO STICK INTO AN AGREEMENT THAT WILL BE CONCRETE AT THIS MOMENT, BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EVERY SINGLE IMPACT AND VARIABLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN.

AND KNOW THAT YOU GUYS PUT A TON OF EFFORT INTO MAKING OUR CITY, UH, AS SAFE AS WE POSSIBLY BE FROM NEGATIVE IMPACTS.

WE'RE ALL REALLY EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE POSITIVES THAT ARE GONNA COME FROM BRIGHT LANG WEST, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER, UH, THE

[00:25:01]

AND I KNOW THAT THIS DOCUMENT REFLECTS A LOT OF TIME AND CONSIDERATION FOR, UH, OUR RESIDENTS TODAY AND RESIDENTS TOMORROW.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ANYONE ELSE? JOHN? I WOULD JUST, I, I UNDERSTAND THE REVENUE FROM THIS SALE WHEN, WHEN WE GET THE APPRAISAL IN THE FUTURE.

UH, THE FINAL APPRAISAL, UH, WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN S-B-C-T-A AND SBC AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

YES.

S-B-C-T-A AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA ARE ESSENTIALLY JOINT TENANTS ON THE PROPERTY.

UM, AND WE EACH OWN, UH, HALF OF IT.

SO, UM, UH, WHATEVER THE APPRAISAL'S DETERMINED THE FINAL AMOUNT WILL BE THAT REVENUE WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE CITY AND S-B-C-T-A.

I LIKE THE FACT IN THE REPORT THAT YOU'RE GONNA USE THAT REVENUE TO IMPROVE UPON THE IMPACTS OF THE STATION ITSELF FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES.

SO, UM, AND LASTLY, I KNOW WE ALL ARE PRETTY, UM, IMPRESSED WITH SUCH AN INCREDIBLY THOROUGH STAFF REPORT SEVERAL PAGES LONG ALONG WITH ALL THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SO AT THIS TIME, WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON THIS SUBJECT REGARDING THE PROPERTY AT THE, UM, RANCHO CUCAMONGA OR CUCAMONGA STATION, MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT WITH COUNCIL MEMBER STICKER ABSENT.

VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

PRETTY EXCITING THINGS AHEAD.
