OVER THE TWO DAYS, WE SAW OVER 10,000 PEOPLE ATTEND THE FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE THE YEAR OF THE HORSE.

GUESTS ENJOYED AN INCREDIBLE LINEUP OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING CULTURAL PERFORMANCES, FOOD VENDORS, A BEER GARDEN, MERCHANDISE BOOTHS, A FUN ZONE, AND PETTING ZOO.

THE FESTIVAL OFFERED A VIBRANT SPACE FOR CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION, WHERE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS COULD EXPERIENCE TRADITIONS TOGETHER IN A MEANINGFUL WAY.

I ALSO WANNA TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK OUR PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING AND SAFETY FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS FOR THEIR COLLABORATION THAT HELPED MAKE THIS EVENT POSSIBLE.

UH, IT'S NOT JUST THE FESTIVAL ALONE.

WE'RE ALSO CELEBRATING OUR, UH, VOLUNTEERS FROM HERE AND ALSO OUR SENIORS WHO, UH, PERFORM AT THERE.

BECAUSE FOR US, WE CAN'T, UH, PUT THESE EVENTS TOGETHER AS, UM, AS A OWNER.

SO THEY PUT A LOT OF, UH, EFFORTS AND TIMES THE CULTURE THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY THAT'S MAKE THESE EVENTS HAPPEN.

YES.

OKAY.

MIDDLE HERE, ERIC.

I THINK THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE.

AND ERIC, COME IN THE MIDDLE.

COME IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE CERTIFICATE.

THERE YOU GO.

PERFECT.

OKAY, LET'S GIVE THESE FOLKS OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS A PRESENTATION BY THE, REGARDING THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES NOW BEING EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS.

AND TO MAKE THAT PRESENTATION AND LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE, AND ANYONE VISITING OUR COMMUNITY.

I'D LIKE TO CALL TO THE PODIUM FROM THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DEPARTMENT, SANDY GRIFFIN, OUR

[B2. Rancho Cucamonga Police Department Vehicles are Now Equipped with Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs).]

YOU'RE READY, READY TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

UH, GOOD EVENING, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM, WE DO WANNA TELL YOU THAT TONIGHT, UM, OUR EMS DIVISION, WHICH IS, UH, THE GROUP OF US UP HERE, UM, ARE GONNA SHARE HOW OUR COMMUNITY IS WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE LIVES, SPECIFICALLY THROUGH EXPANDING A ED UH, ACCESS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO, UM, SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IS NOT JUST A MEDICAL ISSUE, IT'S REALLY A COMMUNITY ISSUE.

AND, UH, SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON HOW FAST HELP ARRIVES AND HOW QUICKLY AN A ED CAN BE USED.

SO, UM, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT AND, UM, THAT'S WHY OUR EFFORTS HAVE BEEN, UH, FOCUSED ON BUILDING GOOD PARTNERSHIPS.

AND WE KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS A, A BIG PART IN THAT.

SO OVER THE NEXT FEW MINUTES, WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS, UM, HOW DATA KIND OF GUIDED OUR DECISIONS AND, UM, OUR APPROACH AND HOW OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SHERIFF'S, UM, DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH TOOLS LIKE PULSEPOINT AND THE GROWING A ED NETWORK THAT WE HAVE, UM, ARE IMPROVING PUBLIC ACCESS TO, UM, AEDS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE, UH, WITHIN OUR CITY.

I'M GONNA LET PATTY TALK, START WITH THE DATA.

LET ME, ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, SANDY.

OKAY.

THE FIRST, UM, GRAPH THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IS OUR, UH, CARDIAC ARREST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

AND THIS IS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, SO 2020 TO 2025.

UM, AS, AS WE LOOK AT THE DATA, WE CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE AN INCREASE IN CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

UH, THIS INCLUDES CLASSES AND INTERACTION WITH OUR 9 1 1 DISPATCHER, GIVING THEM, UM, INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO CPR OVER THE PHONE.

WE INCREASED, UM, WE STARTED AT 30% INVOLVEMENT, AND WE HAVE INCREASED THAT UP TO 80% OF CITIZEN, UM, PERFORMING CPR ATTEMPTING TO DO CPR, WHICH IS FANTASTIC.

UM, OUR NEXT AREA IS IMPROVEMENT WITH OUR CREWS.

WE'VE HAD A HIGH PERFORMANCE CPR TRAINING SINCE 2020.

AND, AND A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THAT, WE ALSO HAVE USED, UH, ADVANCED TRAINING MANNEQUINS THAT ARE HIGH FIDELITY MANNEQUINS.

THEY GIVE US FEEDBACK ON HOW WELL WE'RE PERFORMING OUR HIGH PERFORMANCE CPR.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE AN INCREASE, UH, 25%, UH, BACK IN 2020 TO 20 OR TO 70% BACK IN 20 IN 2025 LAST YEAR WITH OUR RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS, UM, CIRCULATION.

THIS IS OUR ROSC.

SO THIS IS WHEN WE DO CPR ON A PATIENT AND WE GET PULSES BACK.

WE HAVE ALSO INCREASED OUR, UM, UH, DELIVERY TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH THESE PATIENTS WITH, UH, PULSES.

AND THAT'S INCREASED FROM 30% TO 75%.

[00:10:02]

THAT'S MY, MY FUN AREA.

AND WE HAVE A COUPLE CHARTS HERE THAT I'D LIKE TO GO OVER.

THIS IS OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF CARDIAC ARRESTS IN 2025.

WE HAVE 151 TOTAL CARDIAC ARRESTS, UM, 24 OF THOSE OUT OF THE 151.

WE ACTUALLY SHOCK THEM OUT OF A, A, A VERY NASTY RHYTHM.

UM, THE PIE CHART ON THE LEFT SHOWS THE ME THE TIMES THAT WE, THE CITIZEN APPLIED AN A ED, AND THAT WAS ONLY TWO TIMES THAT WE TRACKED.

UM, THE SECOND TIME, THE FIRST TIME, UM, NO SHOCK WAS INDICATED, BUT ON THE SECOND RESPONSE, WE HAD A LITTLE, UM, STORY WITH THAT ONE.

WE HAD A, A GENTLEMAN, A 36-YEAR-OLD MALE THAT WAS WORKING OUT AT THE GYM AND, UH, COLLAPSED AND, UH, HAD IMMEDIATE CITIZEN CPR.

UM, THE STAFF AT THE GYM ACTUALLY APPLIED AN A ED THAT THEY HAD IN THEIR FACILITY, UH, SHOCKED THE PATIENT AND, AND LITERALLY BROUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE.

HE IS ALIVE TODAY, UM, AND DOING VERY WELL LAST TIME WE CHECKED ON HIM.

UM, SO OUR NEXT CHART SAYS, WHO INITIATES THE CPR? SO THIS WAS A BIG INDICATOR ON WHAT DIRECTION WE NEEDED TO GO.

UM, WE HAVE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, WE HAVE OUR EMS PROVIDERS, A LAY PERSON, WHICH IS SOMEBODY THEY DON'T KNOW, AND STARTS CPR.

AND THEN WE HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AND WE LOOKED AT THOSE NUMBERS, AND THERE ARE MANY TIMES THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT GETS THERE BEFORE EMS AND STARTS GREAT HIGH QUALITY CPR.

AND WE THOUGHT, WHAT CAN WE DO MORE TO HELP, UM, SAVE OUR CITIZENS? SO I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO, UM, OUR EMS CAPTAIN, JOSH STAPLETON, WHO'S GONNA TAKE IT FROM THERE.

SO, 75% OF ALL OUT OF HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARRESTS OCCUR IN THE HOME.

THAT'S NATIONAL DATA.

AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION ADVOCATES THAT IF WE TRULY WANT TO IMPROVE SURVIVAL FROM SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST, THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO GET AEDS INTO THE HOME WHERE A MAJORITY OF THOSE CARDIAC ARRESTS ARE HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE SPEARHEADED PROGRAMS WHERE AEDS WERE PUT IN THE HANDS OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THAT, RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT PARTNERED WITH OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE 25 AEDS AND DEPLOY THEM IN PATROL UNITS ACROSS THE CITY.

OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, OVER 100 DEPUTIES AND STAFF, UH, MEMBERS WERE FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

WERE TRAINED AT OUR ALL RISK TRAINING CENTER.

AND THE LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION AND ENGAGEMENT THAT WE HAD WAS ASTOUNDING.

AND WITHIN DAYS FROM COMPLETING THE TRAINING, WE HAD 25 AEDS THAT WERE PUT IN SERVICE IN THE COMPETENT AND CAPABLE HANDS OF OUR PARTNERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THAT MEANS 25 AEDS MOBILE THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY.

24 7 READY TO BE DEPLOYED IN TIME OF NEED.

SINCE THE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED LAST MONTH, UH, WE HAVEN'T YET HAD THE NEED FOR THE UTILIZATION OF ONE OF THOSE AEDS.

HOWEVER, WITHIN, WITHIN A FEW DAYS AFTER IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION, UH, WE DID HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY THAT OCCURRED, UH, IN THE TWANDA PRESERVE ON THE TRAIL, AND, UM, MONITORING RADIO TRAFFIC OF RESPONDING FIRE DISTRICT UNITS AND DEPUTIES.

WE HEARD THE FIRST DEPUTY ARRIVING AT THE TRAILHEAD STATE OVER THE RADIO THAT HE WAS ON FOOT HEADING UP THE TRAIL WITH HIS A ED.

AND THAT IS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE LEVEL OF WILLINGNESS AND BUY-IN.

OUR PARTNERS IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAVE TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

OKAY, SO LET'S, UH, GIVE YOU A OVERVIEW OF WHAT OUR CITY A D PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

UM, WE HAVE, UM, AEDS LOCATED IN ALL THE CITY OWNED FACILITIES.

SO EVERY BUILDING WE OWN, WE HAVE AEDS IN THEM.

UM, AND THAT EVEN INCLUDES, UM, OUR ALL THE FIRE DISTRICT PERSONNEL VEHICLES, AS WELL AS THE, UM, SHERIFF SUBSTATION AND THE, UM, HEADQUARTERS.

UH, THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 115 ADS IN OUR CITY, AND THAT'S THE ONES THAT ARE IN CABINETS.

WE ALSO HAVE THE NOW 25 MORE WITH, UH, IN MOBILE UNITS IN THE, IN THE SHERIFF'S UNITS.

OOPS, SORRY.

UM, ONE WAY THAT WE WANT TO GET AEDS OUT TO AN EMERGENCY IS THROUGH THIS PULSEPOINT APP THAT WE HAVE, UM, HAD IN THE CITY FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.

WE, UM, WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO HAS A BUSINESS, UM, TO THAT HAS AN A ED TO MAKE SURE THEIR APP IS AVAILABLE OR THEIR A ED IS AVAILABLE ON THE APP.

THIS APP ALLOWS US TO SEND SOMEBODY TO GO GET THE A ED IF THEY'RE WITHIN A CERTAIN RADIUS OF THE CARDIAC ARREST.

THIS IS ALL THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY.

WE HAVE THIS, AND ACTUALLY UP AND DOWN THE STATE PEOPLE CAN USE THIS APP AND LOCATE THE CITY.

SO, UM, AND, UH, BE ABLE TO BE A RESPONDER.

SO LETY, UM, SO THE, THE ASK OR WHAT WE'D LIKE FOR YOU GUYS TO DO IS TO, UM, TAKE APART IN BEING A COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH US, JUST LIKE OUR SHERIFFS ARE.

WE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU, UM, ON THE APP RIGHT NOW, WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, IN JANUARY WE HAD 2,378 PEOPLE ACTIVE ON THE APP IN JANUARY.

[00:15:01]

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME ANYWAY.

UM, SO WE BUILT THE SYSTEM, NOW WE ARE, UH, WE NEED THE COMMUNITY, UM, TO HELP.

SO WE WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO DOWNLOAD IT, UM, BE READY TO ACT AND HELP SAVE A LIFE TOGETHER.

WE'RE MAKING OUR, UH, COMMUNITY HEART SAFE.

SO WE THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

UM, ANY COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS, ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.

I JUST WENT TO MY PHONE AND I LOOKED FOR THE PULSEPOINT, A ED.

THERE'S SEVERAL, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE ONE THAT'S YELLOW WITH A HEART.

IS THAT THE ONE I WANT TO DOWNLOAD? THAT IS CORRECT.

THANK YOU.

IT'S VERY EASY.

I DID IT IN LIKE 30 SECONDS.

YEAH, IT'S NOT REAL HARD.

.

AND IF YOU HAVE THIS APP AND YOU HAPPEN TO, LIKE, IF YOU'RE IN A SCHOOL OR YOU'RE IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND YOU SEE AN A, ED, OPEN THE APP AND SEE IS IT ON IT.

AND IF IT'S NOT, YOU CAN SHOOT A PICTURE, UPLOAD IT, AND WE CAN, UM, UH, AUTHORIZE IT TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY ON THE APP.

SO, UM, IT SHOULDN'T, IT SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO GET 'EM ON THERE.

AND, UH, WE DO APPRECIATE WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD PARTNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND REALLY THAT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT'S GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SO THANK YOU.

GREAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, I, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT AND THAT COMMENT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, I LOOK OVER HERE AT OUR PARTNERS AND OUR DEPUTY SHERIFFS, UH, THAT RESPOND EACH AND EVERY DAY.

UH, THE GENTLEMAN THAT YOU SPOKE OF, THE DEPUTY THAT WAS ON FOOT WITH HIS A A ED GOING INTO THE PRESERVE, UM, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TOOL TO HAVE FOR OUR DEPUTIES WHO I KNOW WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING THEY CAN DO.

CPR TELL THE FIRE OR PREPARE ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE ARRIVES, BUT TO HAVE AN A-D-A-A-E-D, EXCUSE ME, AVAILABLE TO THEM IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR ARRIVAL AT A, AT A, AT A PATIENT THAT'S IN FULL ARREST, IS ABSOLUTELY A LIFESAVER FOR, FOR, FOR EVERYBODY AND ESPECIALLY THE FAMILIES THAT SUFFER THAT, THAT TRAGEDY.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR, UH, WILLINGNESS TO, UM, PROVIDE THE FINANCES OUT OF THE FIRE DISTRICT TO FUND THE EEDS AND THEN BACK THAT UP WITH TRAINING EVERY ONE OF THE DEPUTIES AND, UH, UH, WHO KNOWS WHERE WE MIGHT GO IN THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THEIR INNOVATION.

I GOT IT.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR, OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO, EXCUSE ME, THAT INCLUDES OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS FOR THE EVENING.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

THIS IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ANY ITEM ON LISTED ON THE AGENDA, AS WELL AS ANY ITEM THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SPEAK OF THAT'S OFF.

AGENDA COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL.

UH, THE COMMENT PERIOD WOULD NOT EXCEED ONE HOUR PRIOR

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS]

SO WE HAVE FIVE SPEAKERS TONIGHT.

YOU HAVE THREE, THREE MINUTES.

THE, THE LIGHT IS ON MY MICROPHONE IS THE SAME LIGHT THAT'S UP THERE ON THAT MICROPHONE.

THERE'S ALSO A TIMER UP ON THE SCREEN.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS ALEX RE.

SPEAR.

SPEAR.

YEP.

THANK YOU, SIR.

FOLLOW BY JAMIE GRISHA.

RICH.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

YOUR MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, CITY COUNCIL.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ALL OF US IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND, UH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I HAVE TWO SITUATIONS.

FIRST SITUATION IS WHERE I LIVE AT MOUNTAINSIDE APARTMENTS ON THE CORNER OF HELMAN AND FOOTHILL.

UH, SOMEBODY BROKE INTO ALL OF OUR MAILBOXES ON ONE SIDE, ON THE TIMBERLINE LANE SIDE, NOT ON THE CONFER LANE, BUT ON TIMBERLINE LANE.

SO IT'S CREATED A BIG PROBLEM.

THEY WERE, THE BOXES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED, RENEWED, AND WE'VE BEEN GOING TO THE POST OFFICE ABOUT TWICE A WEEK.

WE HAVE TO WASTE OUR GAS AND OUR TIME AND OUR ENERGY, AND IT, UH, IT'S NOT GOOD BECAUSE IT'S BEEN FIVE MONTHS SINCE THEY'VE REPAIRED THIS MAILBOX.

SO IT'S CAUSING US TO GO TO THE POST OFFICE.

UM, THE OTHER SITUATION I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE POST OFFICE, THEY GET LONG LINES THERE.

THEY CAN GO PULL OUT TO THE PARKING LOT, AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR, SOMETIMES TWO HOURS.

THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES THERE AT, AT THE POST OFFICE.

AND, AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF, IF THE CITY COULD HAVE RESTROOMS BUILT THERE FOR US, PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE PUBLIC

[00:20:01]

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO.

ALL BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU BET.

EITHER JAMIE OR JAIME.

IT IS JAMIE, AND PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME FOR US.

UH, GOOD EVENING MAYORS AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS JAMIE GZA.

UH, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.

UM, I'M A SENIOR FROM LOS OSOS HIGH SCHOOL, AND I'M ALSO PROUD TO REPRESENT THE HEALTHY RRC YOUTH LEADERS.

TODAY I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE PATHWAYS RC WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

UH, THIS PLAN IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS LIKE ME TO EXPLORE CAREERS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND LEARN HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ONE THING I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL CHANGE BY TURNING IDEAS INTO ACTION AND MAKING REAL IMPACT IN MY COMMUNITY.

THIS PLAN WILL HELP STUDENTS LIKE ME DISCOVER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT EXISTS.

IT'LL OPEN DOORS TO MAYBE INTERNSHIPS, UH, LEADERSHIP ROLES, AND EVEN VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES.

I'M EXCITED TO SHARE THESE RESOURCES WITH MY CLASSMATES AND EMPOWER MORE STUDENTS TO GET INVOLVED.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING PROGRAMS THAT INVEST IN OUR FUTURES OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA YOUTH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

LOVELY BLONDE.

GOOD EVENING.

WELL, I'M BACK AGAIN WITH COMPLAINTS.

OKAY.

THE HAMILTON BREWERY STILL TAKES NO CONSIDERATION IN NOT PARKING IN FRONT OF THE HANDICAP, THE NO PARKING ZONE IN FRONT OF OUR SENIOR COMPLEX.

AND NOT ONLY ARE THEY DOING THAT, THEY'RE LITERALLY PARKING IN OUR PARKING LOT NOW, WHICH SAYS OUR GUEST PARKING.

ANOTHER THING, THERE WAS, UM, INCIDENT WHERE A POLICE OFFICER'S SON OR DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS TOWED THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

HE TOOK HIS LITTLE BADGE AND HE WENT OVER THERE AND SHOWED IT TO THE IMPOUND YARD AND GOT HIS KIDS' CAR OUT.

WE DON'T PAY THEM TO DO THAT, AND THAT'S NOT FAIR THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT.

I'M SURE THAT YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT.

IT HAPPENED AT THE RESTAURANT ACROSS THE STREET.

IT WAS ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN THAT HAPPENED.

SHE HAS PHOTOS OF IT.

THE IMPOUND YARD TOLD HER IT WAS A POLICE OFFICER'S KID.

OKAY.

WE DON'T PAY THEM TO DO THAT, AND THAT'S A NO-NO.

AND I'M REALLY SICK AND TIRED OF SMELLING THE GAS FROM THEIR GENERATOR WITH THE TACO TRUCK.

IT HAS TO STOP.

IT COMES RIGHT IN MY BEDROOM WINDOW.

AND THEN A LOT OF US FEEL THAT MRS. SCOTT HASN'T LITERALLY APOLOGIZED BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL THAT SHE'S LITERALLY WORKING FOR US.

OKAY.

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND IT'S NOT GOING THAT WELL.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GAIL WALKER.

HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THE, UM, I'M READING ON BEHALF OF GAIL WALKER, UM, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M WRITING YOU ABOUT HAMILTON BREWERY.

THE NOISE IS SO LOUD FROM THE BREWERY, THE SCREAMING, THE MUSIC AND THE PEOPLE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET, PARKING WHERE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.

I CAN'T GET MY SLEEP BECAUSE OF THAT.

MY HEALTH IS DECLINING.

I'M VERY ILL.

AND IF WE CAN'T GET THIS SETTLED, I WILL HAVE TO MOVE.

AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO MOVE OR LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE.

I WILL BE HOMELESS AT THAT POINT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THEN I WILL END UP DYING BECAUSE I CANNOT LIVE ON STREET DUE TO MY HEALTH.

I HAVE LIVED ON THE STREETS BEFORE, AND IT'S NOT FUN.

I FOUND THIS, UH, PLACE 30 YEARS AGO WHEN ME AND MY SON NEED A PLACE.

IT WAS A GOOD, IT WAS A GOD, IT WAS A GOD BECAUSE IT WAS QUIET AND STRESS FREE.

BUT NOW IT'S JUST A NIGHTMARE.

I HOPE THAT WE CAN, THAT WE CAN GET THIS SETTLED, BECAUSE I JUST LOST MY

[00:25:01]

SO PLEASE TAKE THIS IN MIND.

THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS YOU.

GAIL WALKER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

MATTHEW GARCIA, FOLLOWED BY MIGUEL ESPINOZA.

UH, GOOD EVENING.

IT'S MATTHEW GRACIA.

UM, I'M HERE INSTEAD OF MY MOTHER, SO I'M GONNA BE READING HER STATEMENT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I'M SORRY I CANNOT BE THERE IN PERSON, BUT BECAUSE I FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, OR MY SON IS READING THIS STATEMENT ON MY BEHALF.

MY NAME IS DR.

LAURA ESPINOSA.

I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I'M NO LONGER APPROACHING THIS WITH ANGER, BUT WITH A DEEP SENSE OF URGENCY.

THE ONGOING SITUATION ON MAIN STREET HAS LEFT ME AND MY NEIGHBORS STRESS AND OVERWHELMED.

WHILE I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, I'M HERE TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY TO DISCUSS THE NECESSITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE DUE DILIGENCE.

DURING THE DECEMBER 17TH MEETING, IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DILIGENT IN REVIEWING AND APPROVING MR. HAMILTON'S MINOR USE PERMIT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2023.

THAT LACK OF INITIAL OVERSIGHT HAS HAD REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE OF US WHO CALL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HOME.

WE HAVE ALREADY SHARED OUR EXPECTATIONS WITH CITY COUN, WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT AND MR. MARQUEZ.

AS YOU MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS THE SOLUTION, I'M ASKING THE C THE COUNCIL TO PERFORM THE, WITH THE DUE DILIGENCE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY MISSED, SPECIFICALLY THAT YOU STRICTLY IN INTERPRET AND ENFORCE.

SECTION 17.6, THE MUP, WE EXPECT THE HAMILTON ESTABLISHMENT AND THE CITY OF RC TO HONOR EVERY REQUIREMENT OUTLINED IN THAT DOCUMENT.

YOU NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT A PROCESS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED DIFFERENTLY FROM THE START.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING A PLAN THAT RESTORES OUR PEACE AND QUIET THROUGH RIGOROUS OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

BEST REGARDS, LAURA ESPINOZA.

AND THEN JUST MY, MY LAST THREE WORDS STAND UP FOR ME PERSONALLY, UH, CRISIS KING.

THANK YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU MIGUEL ESPINOZA.

GOOD EVENING.

ME AGAIN.

UM, I DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING THIS TIME.

UH, I'M NOT GONNA BORE YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN SAYING.

EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN WITNESSING WITH MY EYES AND MY EARS.

UM, I JUST WANNA PIGGYBACK A LITTLE BIT OFF OF, UH, ONE OF MY, UM, NEIGHBORS MENTIONED ABOUT THE GENERATOR.

I WAS AT HOME, RIGHT? I GOT HOME, TRIED TO HAVE A PEACEFUL DINNER, AND I WAS THINKING, IS IT A WORK TRUCK? BECAUSE WE, WE, TODAY, WE HAD POWER AND A POWER OUTAGE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS STILL ONE OF THE WORK TRUCKS, YOU KNOW, FIXING WHATEVER THEY HAD TO FIX.

AND IT DAWNED ON ME, IT WASN'T A WORK TRUCK.

I WENT OUTSIDE AND TOOK A LOOK.

NO, IT'S THE GENERATOR FROM THE TACO TRUCK.

SO IF I COULD HEAR IT IN MY, IN MY KITCHEN, WELL, I'M TRYING TO EAT WITH MY DOG.

GOSH, I WALK OUTSIDE EVEN LOUDER.

I TOOK A TEN SECOND VIDEO OF THAT.

I'M NOT GONNA BORE YOU WITH THAT.

UM, BUT I'M NOT ONLY TALKING FOR MYSELF, REPRESENTING MYSELF, BUT I'M REPRESENTING EVERYBODY THAT COULDN'T BE HERE.

AND THAT'S A LOT OF US.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS ALL BIT.

HOW MANY OF US HAVE BEEN HERE? AND NOT, THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T TALK IN ENGLISH, SPEAK ENGLISH.

UM, SO I'M REPRESENTING THEM TOO.

UM, LAST COUPLE THINGS I WANNA MENTION.

PLEASE REMEMBER, PLEASE, PLEASE, A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T MOVE INTO, ACROSS THE STREET FROM A BREWERY.

A BREWERY MOVED ACROSS THE STREET INTO A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE'RE HERE REPRESENTING GAIL, GAIL, GAIL, AND EVERYBODY IN THAT SENIOR COMPLEX.

IT'S A CULTURE'S DUTY TO TAKE CARE OF ITS ELDERLY.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

SO WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT CALENDAR OR CONSENT.

CALENDARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THEY'RE GONNA BE ACTED UPON AT ONE TIME WITHOUT DISCUSSION.

HOWEVER, ANY BOARD MEMBER OR COUNCIL MEMBER MAY REMOVE AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.

SHOULD AS SO CHOOSE, MR. MAYOR, NEED TO ABSTAIN FROM ITEM D THREE DUE TO POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS SOCALGAS AS MY EMPLOYER.

VERY GOOD.

THE, YOUR ABSTENTIONS

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS EVENING'S CONSENT CALENDAR.

THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

WE

[H2. PathwaysRC – A Plan to Develop Pathways to Public Service. (CITY)]

UM, OVER THE YEARS, UH, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCA MANGAS APPROACH TO CITY BUILDING HAS LED TO INCREDIBLE RESULTS.

AND I THINK THAT'S UNDENIABLE.

UH, EVEN WITH THIS GREAT SUCCESS, THOUGH, YOU ALL KNOW THAT 85% OF THE CITY'S WORKING RESIDENTS TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF THE CITY FOR EMPLOYMENT.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT, UH, A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE YEARS.

OUR GENERAL PLAN DOES INCLUDE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT RELATED POLICIES, INCLUDING ONE THAT DISCUSSES CREATING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS FROM CRADLE TO CAREER.

UH, SO IN ORDER TO KICKSTART A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, A PLAN KNOWN AS PATHWAYS RC WAS DEVELOPED, IT WAS DEVELOPED TO, UH, CREATE OR HELP CREATE PATHWAYS TO PUBLIC SERVICE.

AND IT WAS FIRST PRESENTED TO, UH, THE COUNCIL IN APRIL OF 2025, THE FIRST VERSION OF PATHWAYS RC, IF YOU WILL.

SO THEREAFTER, COUNCIL DEVELOPED A GOAL TO UPDATE THE PLAN AND DEVELOP A CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY.

SO IN RESPONSE TO, UH, COUNCIL'S GOAL AND TO CONTINUE

[00:40:01]

UH, THE SUBCOMMITTEE HAS SPEARHEADED THE WORK TO DEVELOP A COMPILATION OF CITYWIDE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

AND TONIGHT, UH, WE BRING TO THE UPDATED VERSION OF PATHWAYS.

I SEE, ALONG WITH ITS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, UH, MINOR UPDATES TO THE PLAN, WERE NECESSARY TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN IT AND THE NEW IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, WE WORKED TO HELP DEVELOP ALIGNMENT WITH, UH, OR BETWEEN THE PLAN AND SOME OF THE WORK THAT OUR PARTNERS, UH, ARE DOING, SUCH AS THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF OF SCHOOLS.

SO, AS A REMINDER, MAYBE FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH PATHWAYS RC, UM, IT'S A PLAN THAT ENVISIONS A SUSTAINABLE AND ONGOING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM TO HELP EDUCATE THE FUTURE WORKFORCE ABOUT PATHWAYS TO AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN PUBLIC SERVICE.

SO TO ACHIEVE THIS VISION, TARGET GROUPS WERE IDENTIFIED, LABELED AS PROGRAMS WITHIN THE PLAN AND GOALS, TASKS AND ACTION ITEMS WERE DEVELOPED FOR EACH OF THOSE PROGRAMS OR EACH OF THOSE GROUPS.

AND THOSE GROUPS ARE LISTED HERE ON THE SCREEN, ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN EARLY CAREER.

UM, AS MENTIONED, WE WANTED TO DO SOME WORK OR AS MUCH WORK AS POSSIBLE TO ALIGN PATHWAYS RC WITH, WITH WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE ARE DOING.

UH, WE KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT WHAT THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS WAS DOING AND HOW THEY UTILIZE A WORK-BASED LEARNING APPROACH THAT INTEGRATES ACADEMIC LEARNING WITH REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS, UH, TO PROVIDE PATHWAYS TO EDUCATION AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT.

AND THEY USE SOME OF THE SAME VERBIAGE WE USE.

IT'S A COUNTYWIDE EFFORT TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS FROM CRADLE TO CAREER, JUST LIKE OUR GENERAL PLAN POLICY STATES, AND IS GUIDED BY, UH, A CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONTINUUM FOCUSED ON SELF-AWARENESS, CAREER AWARENESS, CAREER EXPLOITATION, EXPLORATION, EXCUSE ME, NOT EXPLOITATION, , UH, CAREER PREPARATION AND CAREER TRAINING.

UM, AS MENTIONED, THE UPDATED VERSION OF PATHWAYS RC NOW INCLUDES AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

IT INCLUDES A LISTING OF EACH PROGRAM ALONG WITH SPECIFIC GOALS, TASKS, AND RELATED ACTION ITEMS, AND THEN TIMEFRAMES ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THOSE AS WELL.

UH, IT'S DESIGNED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, ALIGNING WITH OTHER STRATEGIC PLANS AND PROVIDING A MORE STRUCTURED APPROACH TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

THE TIMELINE, WE THINK OFFERS SOME FLEXIBILITY TO REASSESS, UM, THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING EITHER AT THE END OF YEAR THREE OR AFTER EACH YEAR, ENSURING THAT INITIATIVES REMAIN RELEVANT AND RESPONSIVE TO EVOLVING NEEDS, INCLUDING, UH, STAFF'S CAPACITY.

UM, SO HERE ON THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE A SNAPSHOT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM.

SO NOW I GUESS GETTING A BIT MORE INTO THE DETAILS AND PROVIDING A BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THE GOALS AND TASKS.

THE GOALS FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, OR THE GOAL IS LISTED HERE ON THE SCREEN, UH, TO FOSTER EARLY ENGAGEMENT AND INSTILL CIVIC AWARENESS AND CURIOSITY ABOUT POTENTIAL CAREERS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR.

UH, THIS GOAL WAS UPDATED FROM THE PREVIOUS ITERATION OF PATHWAYS, AGAIN, TO KIND OF ALIGN WITH, WITH THE WORK THAT OUR PARTNERS ARE DOING.

UM, SO AT THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ENGAGE IN AGE APPROPRIATE INTERACTION THAT CAN HELP SHAPE THE IDENTITY OF CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM ENGAGED.

UH, IN SCHOOL.

THERE ARE, UH, SPECIFIC TASKS FOR THAT WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, AND THOSE ARE LISTED HERE.

PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL CAREER DAYS, CREATE DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS OR VIDEO SERIES, PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY SERVICES EVENTS, AND CULTIVATE JUNIOR CIVIC, UH, EXPLORERS.

SO EACH OF THESE TASKS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY ACTION ITEMS THAT WILL HELP GUIDE STAFF TO COMPLETING THE GOAL OF THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.

AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, TASK 1.1, PARTICIPATING IN SCHOOL CAREER DAYS.

UH, IT INCLUDES TASKS LIKE IDENTIFYING PUBLIC SERVICE, CAREERS THAT INSTILL CIVIC AWARENESS AND INSPIRE CURIOSITY.

AND THEN DEVELOPING A PRESENTATION FRAMEWORK AND COORDINATING WITH OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND OUR PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE, UM, IN EVENTS.

AND SO, MOVING ON TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL GROUP, UH, THE GOAL FOR THIS GROUP IS TO SUPPORT CAREER EXPLORATION AND SKILL BUILDING THROUGH CAREER FAIRS, INTERNSHIPS, AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

AND SO IN ORDER TO DO THIS, UH, THE FOLLOWING TASKS WERE IDENTIFIED, UH, ATTEND, UH, CAREER FAIRS, UH, CONTINUE OUR WORK WITH INTERNSHIP AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, UH, EXPLORE CIVICS, UH, SPARK FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, AND OF COURSE ENGAGE WITH OUR HEALTHY

[00:45:01]

AND SO, WHILE WE KNOW THAT OUR DEPARTMENTS, VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE CITY ARE ALREADY PARTICIPATING IN CAREER FAIRS AT OUR K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS, THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REALLY CALLS OUT FOR A COORDINATED CITYWIDE APPROACH.

UM, AND THIS INCLUDES LEVERAGING CROSS DEPARTMENTAL SUPPORT SO THAT IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE SAME DEPARTMENT ATTENDING THESE CAREER FAIRS, BUT WE, UH, INCLUDE OTHERS TO ALSO SHARE OTHER CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.

IT INCLUDES TRACKING OUR PARTICIPATION AND ENSURING THAT A CONSISTENT MESSAGE IS DELIVERED AT EVERY CAREER FAIR.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, AN ACTION ITEM IN TASKS 2.1 INCLUDES DEVELOPING MARKETING MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED CITYWIDE.

SO A CITYWIDE APPROACH TO OUR CAREER FAIRS.

UM, ADDITIONALLY I'LL SHARE THAT OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, UH, INCLUDES ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO NOT ONLY CONNECT WITH STUDENTS, BUT FIND A CONNECTION WITH OUR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.

THEY'RE OFTEN THE FIRST INTERACTION THAT STUDENTS HAVE IN CHOOSING OR EXPLORING THESE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.

SO IT'S ALSO ABOUT EDUCATING OUR PARENTS AND OUR GUARDIANS ABOUT JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREERS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

ADDITIONALLY, I'LL ADD THAT, UM, THE PLAN CALLS OUT FOR, UM, ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO CONNECT WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED IS TO LEVERAGE OUR HEALTHY ERC YOUTH LEADERS.

AND SO TONIGHT YOU GOT A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM ONE OF THEM.

UM, AND THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH THEM AND USE THEM AS AMBASSADORS TO PROMOTE THESE CAREERS WITHIN THEIR OWN CAMPUS AND CAMPUS CLUBS.

AND SO THIS WOULD USE, YOU KNOW, PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING, UM, AND IT'LL REACH STUDENTS IN THEIR OWN SPACES IN A LESS FORMAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOMETHING MORE GENUINE.

AND SO THIS WOULD HELP US CREATE THOSE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH, UH, STUDENTS.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, AS YOU HEARD TONIGHT, UM, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH OUR HEALTHY RC YOUTH LEADERS.

UM, AND WE'VE ESTABLISHED A COHORT OF, UH, SEVEN TO 10 STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING FOCUS THEIR WORKFORCE OR THEIR CAPSTONE PROJECT ON PATHWAYS RC.

AND LIKE YOU HEARD TODAY, THEY'RE GONNA HELP US EXPLORE WAYS WE CAN FURTHER ENGAGE WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAREERS.

AND SO THE GOAL FOR OUR EARLY CAREER COHORT IS TO SUPPORT EARLY CAREER INDIVIDUALS AS THEY ENTER AND GROW WITHIN THE PUBLIC SECTOR.

SO THESE CAN BE INDIVIDUALS WHO, UM, ARE JUST REENTERING THE WORKFORCE OR HAVE NEVER WORKED IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND OR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CURRENTLY WORKING IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTING THEM INTO DEVELOPING, UH, PROFESSIONALLY.

AND SO THE TASKS IDENTIFIED, UM, WITH THE EARLY CAREER, UH, GROUP INCLUDE ENHANCING OUR INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, STRENGTHENING OUR HIGHER EDUCATION, UH, INSTITUTION PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE, CONTINUING TO HOST OUR HIRING FAIR AND SUPPORTING, UH, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

AND SO ONE OF THE WAYS THAT SUPPORTING THESE EARLY CAREER INDIVIDUALS LOOKS LIKE IS ENHANCING AND CONTINUING OUR VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THESE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES REALLY SERVE AS LIKE THE FIRST TOUCH POINT SOMEONE HAS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND INTRODUCTION TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

AND SO, AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FROM WALKING DOGS AT THE ANIMAL CENTER, ASSISTING WITH SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATING IN MORE FORMAL PROGRAMS LIKE OUR FIRE EXPLORER PROGRAM OR VOLUNTEER UNPAID INTERNSHIPS.
