ROLL CALL.

MAYOR MICHAEL IS PRESENT, MAYOR PRO TIM LYNN KENNEDY HAS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE THIS EVENINGS AS SHE IS BACK IN WASHINGTON DC WITH A NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES AND THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE OF CITIES, UM, CAMPAIGNING AND VISITING WITH OUR LEGISLATORS, CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS TO SEE WHAT CALIFORNIA CAN DO WITH ACQUIRING ITS FAIR SHARE OF THE MONEY.

SO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS RYAN HUTCHINSON IS ALSO EXCUSED, AND I JUST SPOKE TO HIM THIS AFTER ACTUALLY THIS MORNING TO SEE HOW HE IS DOING.

BUT HE IS, HE IS, HE'S HAVE SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE, SEVERE COLD.

MADAM CLERK, ARE THERE ANY AMENDMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS

[A. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGENDA]

HAVE ONE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, AND THAT PRESENTATION IS A REPORT AND UPDATES

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

[ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRESENTATIONS]

[B1. Report and Updates from Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA).]

FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE UTILITIES AGENCY.

SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE BOTH.

UH, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MOVING UP, THEY KNOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE THERE.

KEVIN ALEXANDER, DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER AT THE INLAND EMPIRE UTILITIES AGENCY, AND EDUARDO ESPINOZA, ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER FOR THE CUCAMONGA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT.

GALLUP VALLEY WATER DISTRICT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

YEAH, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND, UH, AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

WE, UH, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY ACTUALLY TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES.

UH, I'M GONNA DO THIS PRESENTATION WITH, UH, EDUARDO AND, UH, FROM CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, ONE OF OUR PARTNER, UH, ONE OF OUR PARTNERS IN THE, IN THE REGION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO TONIGHT WAS REALLY INTRODUCE OURSELVES, UM, A AS, UH, MAYOR, UH, MICHAEL MENTIONED I AM THE DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER, AND TODAY I BECAME THE ACTING GENERAL MANAGER FOR IUA.

AND OUR AGENCY IS, IS, UM, REP IS BASICALLY THE WHOLESALE WATER AGENCY AND ALSO THE WASTEWATER AGENCY FOR, UH, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

UH, WE ACTUALLY TAKE WATER FROM, UH, CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT AND TREAT IT AND DO MANY THINGS WITH IT.

WE'LL TALK A LOT MORE ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.

BUT FIRST, LET ME MENTION THAT, UH, WE HAVE OUR FIVE MEMBER BOARD AT THE END, UH, ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS, UH, THAT REPRESENTS YOUR DIS OR YOUR DIVISION, MICHAEL CAMACHO'S HERE TONIGHT.

HE'S ALSO, I SHOULD MENTION OUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE WHOLESALE WATER AGENCY IN THE REGION.

SO IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY NEED FOR DISCUSSIONS WITH METROPOLITAN, HE'S THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THEM AS WELL.

SO IT'S VERY GOOD TO HAVE HIM IN YOUR REGION.

SO TONIGHT, WE, UM, WANTED TO TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO.

WE ARE LOCATED HERE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

OUR AGENCY COVERS, UH, BASICALLY ALL THE WAY FROM, UH, THE ED WESTERN OR THE EASTERN EDGE OF POMONA, ALL THE WAY OVER TO FONTANA, DOWN TO, UH, PRADO DAM.

AND WE REPRESENT 11, UH, AGENCIES, UH, ACROSS THE REGION.

WE HAVE A SERVICE AREA THAT COVERS 950,000 PEOPLE, AND WE SERVE ABOUT 242 SQUARE MILES.

AND THAT, THAT, UH, THAT AREA, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE MAP, IS REALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE, OF THE AREA FOR INLAND EMPIRE.

SO THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR US ARE, WHAT DO WE DO? AND I WANTED

[00:05:01]

TO MAKE SURE WE INTRODUCE THAT TO YOU.

SOME OF THE MAJOR THINGS THAT WE PROVIDE TO YOU AS A CITY ARE WATER SUPPLY AND TREATMENT.

OBVIOUSLY, WE WHOLESALE OUR WATER FROM METROPOLITAN AND BRING THAT TO THE REGION.

WE ARE, UH, COLLECT WASTEWATER AND TREAT WASTEWATER FOR THE AGENTS, THE REGION.

AND MOST OF THE CITIES SIT OVER OUR SERVICE AREA.

SO WE COLLECT WATER THROUGH THE CITIES, AND IN YOUR CASE, WE COLLECT WATER THROUGH, UH, THE WASTEWATER THROUGH, UH, CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT.

UM, WE DO RECYCLE WATER, UH, DEVELOPMENT PLANNING, AND ULTIMATELY DISTRIBUTION OF THAT WATER BACK TO YOU.

AND, UH, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF OUR CUSTOMER AGENCIES GETS THEIR WATER BACK, UH, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

SO WE DO A LOT OF RECYCLED WATER.

WE DO GROUNDWATER RECHARGE.

WE, WE TAKE WATER BACK INTO THE GROUND FOR THE REGION AS WELL, BASICALLY THROUGH A BUNCH OF RECHARGE BASINS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

ULTIMATELY LOOKING FOR THE RELIABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY OF THAT WATER WITHIN THE AREA.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE SERVE.

UH, WE DO A COMPOSTING FACILITY.

I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO DO WITH THE BIOSOLIDS IS BE ABLE TO USE THEM, UH, AS AMENDMENTS AND THINGS FOR SOIL HERE IN THE REGION.

UH, WE KEEP IT HERE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAUL IT TO ARIZONA, LIKE MANY OF OUR CUSTOMER, UH, MANY OF OUR OTHER AGENCIES AROUND OUR REGIONS.

AND SO THAT REALLY HELPS SAVE ON COST TO YOU AS THE CUSTOMER.

WE DO A LOT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY.

WE DO SOLAR AND WIND RIGHT NOW.

UH, WE HAVE A WINDMILL HERE AT RP FOUR IN YOUR SERVICE AREA.

AND, UH, BUT WE ALSO LOOK AT, WANNA BE ABLE TO USE OUR BIOGAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR AN ENERGY SUPPLY.

AND THEN LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST, IS OUR EDUCATION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO DO IS TRY TO GET AS MANY OF THE AGENCY OR THE REGIONS SCHOOLS TO COME TO OUR FACILITIES TO LOOK AT OUR WETLANDS, BUT ALSO TO COME AND SEE AND LEARN ABOUT THE TYPE OF FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE AND THE THINGS THAT WE DO.

OUR AGENCY IS ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE AGENCIES IN THE REGION DOING THE MOST ADVANCED TREATMENTS AND TECHNOLOGIES, UH, AROUND THE AREA.

AND WE HAVE, UH, THE ABILITY TO TOUR THOSE FACILITIES FOR YOU, IF YOU EVER HAVE AN INTEREST IN THAT.

SO, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE VIDEO WE'LL PLAY HERE TONIGHT, UM, IS ON OUR WEBSITE AND IT'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESSES.

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT WE TREAT OUR WASTEWATER BASICALLY TO WHAT WE CALL TITLE 22.

IT'S A CALIFORNIA REGULATION FOR RECYCLED WATER, AND THAT MEANS THAT WE TREAT TO A VERY HIGH LEVEL.

IT'S NOT QUITE DRINKING WATER JUST YET, BUT WHEN IT GOES INTO THE GROUND AND, AND PERCOLATES THROUGH THE, UH, SOIL AND THE AQUIFER, IT DOES BECOME DRINKING WATER.

IT, UH, ULTIMATELY IS ALSO USED FOR DIRECT USE, WHICH IS INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS IN IRRIGATION.

SO WE USE THAT WATER, YOU'VE SEEN IT, THE PURPLE PIPE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THAT PURPLE PIPE COMES FROM, UH, FROM OUR FACILITIES, AND WE HAVE TO MEET PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH, BUT ALSO THE, UH, ENVIRONMENT.

SO WE HAVE A DISCHARGE PERMIT FOR SENDING WATER DOWN TO, UH, ORANGE COUNTY THROUGH PRADO DAM.

WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SEND SOME WATER DOWN THERE, BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A HIGH ENOUGH QUALITY TO GO THROUGH THOSE, UH, BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

THE INLAND EMPIRE REGIONAL COMPOSTING AGENTS, UH, AUTHORITY IS A SEPARATE AGENCY.

THAT'S A JPA, AND WE ACTUALLY TAKE BIOSOLIDS FROM ALL OF OUR WASTEWATER FACILITIES.

WE TAKE THE BIOSOLIDS FROM ORANGE COUNTY AND ALSO FROM LA COUNTY SAND DISTRICT.

AND WE TREAT, UH, AND WE TREAT THEM.

AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE ONE OF THE ONLY CERTIFIED BIO-BASED PRODUCTS.

WE RECENTLY GOT THAT CERTIFICATION.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF IT BECAUSE IT'S A VERY CLEAN PRODUCT BASED ON THE BIOSOLIDS THAT COME FROM OUR WASTEWATER PROCESSING PLANTS.

AND, UH, WE USE ALL OF IT HERE IN THE, IN THE AREA.

AS I MENTIONED, IT'S A VERY, UH, EFFICIENT WAY TO DO IT HERE IN THE, IN THE LOCAL AREA THAT'S ALSO LOCATED HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT SIDE OF OUR BUSINESS IS, IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON NEXT.

THE AGENCY IS LOOKING TO RECOVER AS MUCH BIOGAS AS POSSIBLE FOR ENERGY, AND EITHER TO USE THAT GAS AS A, A RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS, SUCH THAT WE CAN OFFSET SOME OF YOUR FOOD WASTE ISSUES WITHIN THE CITIES FOR THE NEW RULES.

AND WE'RE ALSO WANTING TO USE THAT BIOGAS, UH, UH, FOR BASICALLY TO, TO SERVE AS, UH, AS, AS AN ENERGY SUPPLY IF WE CAN.

RIGHT NOW, WE FLARE THAT OFF.

WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE IT AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE, SO WE WANNA BE MOVING TOWARDS THAT.

WE ALSO, AS I MENTIONED, DO SOLAR.

WE DO BATTERY, UH, STORAGE FACILITIES, AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR, OUR, UH, OUR, OUR WIND FACILITIES.

SO LET'S REACH, LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

SOME OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE EDUCATION.

WE JUST OPENED OUR, UH, CHINO CREEK WETLANDS EDUCATION PARK.

PLEASE COME SEE IT.

WE JUST, UH, THERE'S A VERY GOOD EDUCATIONAL FACILITY TALKING ABOUT THE WATER AND ALL THE THINGS WE DO WITHIN THAT, UH, WITHIN OUR FACILITIES.

AND, UH, THERE'S ALSO THE ABILITY TO DO TOURS AND OTHER THINGS FOR THAT AS WELL.

SO IF YOU HAVE KIDS, IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR EDUCATION THERE.

UH, LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR WATER SUPPLIES.

THE BIGGEST REASON THAT, THAT WE ARE HERE IS TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT THE WATER SUPPLIES IN THE REGION.

WE DO A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF IMPORTED WATER.

OUR WATER COMES FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND COLORADO RIVER.

WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE COLORADO RIVER WATER HERE IN OUR REGION BECAUSE OF THE SALINITY.

AND, UH, THERE'S SOME REASONS FOR THAT.

AND, BUT WE DO TAKE MOSTLY STATE PROJECT WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

OBVIOUSLY THAT WATER SUPPLY CAN BE CONSTRAINED JUST BECAUSE OF DROUGHT AND OTHER THINGS, BUT WE STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THAT COMING INTO OUR REGION.

AND, UM, BUT THAT'S

[00:10:01]

AND WE DO ACTUALLY RECHARGE THAT FOR YOU AND FOR THE MEMBER AGENCIES AS WELL.

WATER SUPPLY.

ON THE RECYCLED WATER SU SUPPLY SIDE, WE DELIVER 34,000 ACRE FEET OF RECYCLED WATER WITHIN THE REGION.

WE DO A PORTION OF THAT GOING TO INDUSTRIAL, UH, AND IRRIGATION CUSTOMERS.

BUT A PORTION OF THAT GOES INTO OUR RECHARGE FACILITIES, AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

WE ENHANCE THE WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY AND IMPROVE THE DRINKING WATER WITH OUR RECYCLED WATER GOING INTO THE GROUND.

BUT WE ALSO RECHARGE THE STORM WATER.

SO DURING THE STORM EVENTS, YOU WILL SEE US CAPTURING THAT WATER THROUGH A LOT OF THE PERCOLATION BASINS, THOSE PERK POND ZONES.

SOME OF THEM ARE IN HERE IN RANCHO KUNG AS WELL.

AND, UH, WE HAVE 46 BASINS ACROSS 19 RECHARGE SITES.

SO WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF AREA.

THE CHALLENGE FOR US GOING FORWARD IS, IS IT'S HARD TO BUY PROPERTY JUST FOR RECHARGING WATER INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE IT'S BECOME SO VALUABLE IN THE AREA.

SO, UM, WE HAVE TO DO SOME DIFFERENT THINGS HERE, AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO NEXT WITH OUR RECYCLED WATER, JUST TO AVOID, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE PLACES TO PUT IT.

UM, BUT WE RECHARGE THE STORM WATER, IMPORTED WATER, AND THAT RECHARGE WATER FOR YOU INTO THE REGION.

THE CURRENT CONDITIONS IN THE REGION FLUCTUATE QUITE, QUITE DRAMATICALLY.

THESE PICTURES SORT OF SHOW IT FROM 2019 TO 2021.

AND I THINK THE PICTURE TODAY IS ACTUALLY MORE LIKE 2019 TO BEGIN.

SO IT COMES BACK AND FORTH AND IT'S FLUCTUATING BACK AND FORTH.

THESE CURRENT CONDITIONS ARE WHY WE'RE SORT OF CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEXT DROP OF WATER GOING INTO THE GROUND OR THE WATER THAT WE SUPPLY TO THE REGION.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT.

OUR CURRENT CONDITIONS ON RECYCLED WATER.

AND THIS ONE'S PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT, UH, RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

THE CITY IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR SERVICE AREA.

IT'S THE HARDEST PART, UH, OF THE AREA TO GET, UH, RECYCLED WATER BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY AND EVERYTHING TO BRING THAT WATER FURTHER, FURTHER UP INTO THE, INTO THE AREA.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT, THAT'S THE CURRENT CONDITIONS.

WE HAVE, UH, ONTARIO WITH 93% OF THEIR WATER BEING USED.

SO THIS IS THEIR WASTEWATER THAT THEY, THAT WE TREAT FOR THEM.

AND THEY USE 93% OF IT.

CHINO'S USING A HUNDRED PERCENT.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER CITIES, UH, UPLAND, UH, CUCAMONGA VALLEY, UH, FONTANA AND MONTCLAIR, WE'RE USING VERY LITTLE WATER.

SO THE PURPLE REPRESENTS THAT WATER.

OUR FUTURE REALLY IN THE REGION FOR THE NEXT WATER SUPPLIES TO YOU ARE GOING TO BE WITH RECYCLED WATER.

AND WE HAVE A PLAN THAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT HERE, JUST A MOMENT AS TO HOW TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT RECHARGE THROUGH AND, AND BE ABLE TO GET UPLAND CUCAMONGA VALLEY, UH, YOUR AREA, OBVIOUSLY, AND FONTANA BACK TO, UH, TO BE ABLE TO USE A MAJORITY OF YOUR WATER.

SO THIS IS THE TARGET WE'RE GOING FOR IN TERMS OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR OUR REGION? WE ARE PLANNING A PROGRAM CALLED THE CHINO BASIN PROGRAM.

BUT BEFORE I GET TO THAT, THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON, CALTRANS IS LOOKING AT EVALUATIONS FOR, UH, GIVING US GRANTS FOR LOOKING AT, UM, REMOVING TRASH AND OIL FOR THEM.

BUT WE WANT THE WATER.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM AS, AND LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES WITH SOME OF THE GRANT FUNDING.

THEY PROVIDE US TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH SOME OF THIS ROAD DEBRIS, BUT ALSO, AND, AND HELP THE REGION ENVIRONMENTALLY, BUT ALSO CAPTURE THAT WATER CLOSER TO SOME OF THE ROADWAYS.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF ROADWAYS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.

UH, OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS BASICALLY ADDITIONAL PIPE PROJECTS WITHIN THE REGION.

ONE OF THE AREAS IS HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, UH, TO BE ABLE TO PIPE IN SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL BASINS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US.

SO WE ARE GONNA LOOK AT ADDITIONAL PIPELINE PROJECTS TO MAYBE GET SOME OF THAT WATER INTO THIS UPPER PORTION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

THAT'S NOT ADVANCED TREATED.

OUR PROJECT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE IS AN ADVANCED TREATMENT PROJECT.

THE REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT, BECAUSE IF WE GO INTO THE GROUND WITH DIRECT INJECTION, WE HAVE TO GO TO ADVANCED TREATMENT, WHICH IS TAKING OUR WATER ALL THE WAY TO DRINKING WATER QUALITY BEFORE WE PUT IT INTO THE GROUND.

AND THAT TECHNOLOGY DOES REMOVE A LOT OF THE CONSTITUENTS AND COMPOUNDS SUCH AS THESE PFAS FOREVER CHEMICALS THAT YOU HEAR IN THE NEWS SO MUCH TO THESE DAYS.

IT DOES REMOVE ALL OF THAT.

SO THAT IS A REAL BENEFIT TO IT, IS PUTTING IT BACK IN THE GROUND AS CLEAN AS THE WATER YOU'D PULL OUT WHEN YOU DRINK IT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS, UH, IS THERE, IS WE'RE PLANNING THAT AND WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH CUCAMONGA VALLEY AND ALSO THE FONTANA WATER COMPANY.

AND TO DATE, WE'VE ACTUALLY, WE'RE BRINGING ABOUT $270 MILLION WORTH OF ADDITIONAL, UM, STATE FUNDING INTO THE REGION THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

AND, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING MORE INVESTMENT FROM THE STATE FOR SOME ABILITY TO USE THAT WATER, UM, AS WELL.

SO THE THINGS THAT ARE GONNA BE HAPPENING HERE, AND YOU MAY HEAR ABOUT THEM, WE'D LOVE TO SHARE MORE.

UH, WE HAVE A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT THAT'S COMING ON AT THE END OF THE YEAR, UH, TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.

IT'S HERE AT THE FACILITY THAT'S IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND IT SHOWS THE TECHNOLOGY.

SO IF YOU WANNA COME TOUR IT, IT'S GONNA HAVE A GREAT EDUCATIONAL THEME TO IT.

IT'S REALLY TO INFORM THE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC AS TO HOW WE ARE GOING ABOUT TREATING YOUR WATER TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE BEFORE WE PUT IT IN THE GROUND.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DRINK THE WATER AND, AND AS WE, AS WE TREAT IT AS WELL.

UM, THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ARE, ARE EARLY PLANNING WORK.

I MENTIONED, UH, EARLIER TO, TO THE MAYOR THAT WE HAD BEEN DOING SOME WORK, UM, WITH YOUR FOLKS ALREADY TO, TO TRY TO LOCATE SOME WELLS, SOME INJECTION WELLS IN YOUR, IN YOUR SERVICE AREA.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'RE DOING.

WE'VE, WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH US AS WELL, AND ESPECIALLY CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT AND THEIR PARTNERSHIP.

[00:15:01]

AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO EDUARDO AND LET YOU COVER THE REST.

THANKS, KEVIN.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MICHAEL, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, AND, UH, CITY MANAGER ELISA COX.

UH, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE.

UM, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TONIGHT.

UM, I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SHOW HOW CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT PARTNERS WITH, UH, IUA.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT IS THE WATER PROVIDER, WATER RETAILER, AND, UH, SEWER COLLECTION SERVICE PROVIDER AND RECYCLED WATER SERVICE PROVIDER, OF WHICH, UH, THE CITY IS ONE OF OUR LARGEST CUSTOMERS FOR ALL THREE OF THOSE, UH, SERVICES.

UM, BUT MY ROLE TONIGHT IS TO SHOW HOW WE PARTNER WITH, UH, IUA ON SOME OF THESE, UH, EXCITING PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING UP.

UM, AND SO HAVE YOU, AS YOU'VE SEEN ON ONE OF THE SLIDES, UH, CVWD IS ONE OF, UH, I A'S SEVEN, UH, CONTRACTING AGENCIES, UH, FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT SERVICES, UH, RECYCLED WATER DELIVERIES AND IMPORTED WATER.

UH, WE'VE HAD A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP, UH, WITH, UH, THEIR BOARD AND THEIR STAFF FOR MANY YEARS, INCLUDING THE, UH, CHINO BASIN PROGRAM, WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

UM, BUT IF I CAN BACK UP A LITTLE BIT, I'D LIKE TO SHARE, UM, WHY SOME OF, UH, WHY OUR INTEREST, UH, WHY WE HAVE INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM.

UM, CVWD RELIES, UH, A GOOD AMOUNT ON STATE WATER PROJECTS.

SO THAT'S THE WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT, UM, THAT KEVIN WAS, UH, TALKING ABOUT.

UM, THAT GOES TO OUR LLOYD MICHAEL TREATMENT PLANT, UM, UP ON ELWANDA AND WILSON.

UH, ON, UH, AVERAGE, ON AN AVERAGE YEAR, WE TAKE ABOUT 40% OF IMPORTED WATER.

UM, ONE, IT'S OUR MOST EXPENSIVE SUPPLY, UH, BUT IT'S BECOME UNRELIABLE OVER THE YEARS.

UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE OF THE PICTURES THAT, UH, THAT KEVIN SHOWED, UH, LOW SNOWPACK YEARS, UH, CONSECUTIVE LOW SNOWPACK YEARS LEAD TO LOW LEVELS IN LAKE ORVILLE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN 20 23, 20 24, WE EXPERIENCED THAT.

UM, IT'S BECOME UNRELIABLE BECAUSE OF, UH, POSSIBLE LONG-TERM DISRUPTIONS ON THE RIALTO FEEDER, WHICH IS THE PIPELINE ALONG THE FOOTHILLS THAT BRINGS WATER TO US, UH, OTHER AND OTHER FACILITIES DOWNSTREAM.

UM, AND OF COURSE, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PRONE TO EARTHQUAKE AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS ON THAT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.

AND SO, THEREFORE, UH, RECYCLED WATER HAS BECOME A KEY PART OF OUR WATER SUPPLY PORTFOLIO.

UM, FOR ONE, IT'S RELIABLE AND RESILIENT.

UM, IT MEANS WE CAN DEPEND ON IUA TO DELIVER IT.

UM, OUR DIRECT USE IS SMALL, SO DIRECT USE IS WHAT WE USE, UH, FROM PURPLE PIPE TO, UH, IRRIGATE ON, UH, PARKWAYS, UH, PARKS.

UH, ONE OF OUR LARGER CUSTOMERS IS QUAKE STADIUM, UM, AND, UH, AND OTHER LIMITED USES.

BUT PURPLE PIPE IS EXPENSIVE TO EXPAND WITHOUT LARGE DEMANDS, UM, AND, UH, SIGNIFICANT GRANT FUNDING.

THEREFORE, WE COUNT ON TAKING OUR SHARE OF RECYCLED WATER AS GROUNDWATER RECHARGE.

AND AS KEVIN EXPLAINED, UH, THERE'S LIMITATIONS THERE.

SO, RECYCLED WATER COMES IN HANDY, UH, DURING SHORTAGES AND EVENTUALLY WILL BECOME A REGULAR SUPPLY FOR CUCAMONGO, UH, VALLEY WATER DISTRICT TO PRODUCE IT OUTTA THE GROUND.

SO, AS YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, CVWD GETS ABOUT 36% OF OUR ENTITLEMENT OF RECYCLED WATER.

UM, IT'S A RESULT OF GEOGRAPHY, UH, THE HISTORY OF THE PRO, THE PROGRAM, THE RECYCLED WATER PROGRAM AS IT EXPANDED, UM, AND OTHER SEASONAL, UH, CONSTRAINTS.

SO OUR INTEREST IN THE EXPANSION PROGRAM AND THE CHINO BASIN PROGRAM, UH, IS TO DEVELOP MORE RECYCLED WATER.

UM, IN OTHER WORDS, INCREASE THE PIE FOR US.

UM, IT WOULD INCREASE OUR ACCESS TO THAT RECYCLED WATER.

UH, AND, UH, AS I SAID, IN THE FUTURE, IT IS GONNA BE A KEY SUPPLY.

UH, THE CHINO BASIN PROGRAM IS AN INVESTMENT, AS MENTIONED BY THE STATE, UP TO $270 MILLION.

AND I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IUA FOR SECURING THAT FUNDING AND POTENTIAL TO SECURE MORE AND MAKE THE, THE PROJECT MORE, UH, UH, ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE.

UH, IT WOULD INVEST INTO INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN STORE AND EXTRACT WATER, UH, AND ESPECIALLY IN TIMES WHEN IMPORTED WATER IS LIMITED.

AND SO WE'RE PLEASED WITH THE PROGRESS THAT, UH, IUA IS MAKING, UH, WITH RECYCLED WATER, UH, EXPANDING RECYCLED WATER, UH, AND THE CHINO BASIN PROGRAM.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUED, UH, PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM TO BRING MORE RELIABLE WATER SUPPLIES TO RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND THAT GOOD, THAT CONCLUDES MOVE YOUR REPORTS.

THAT DOES.

IT DOES.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

COURT, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS? OH, JUST AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING HERE THIS EVENING.

APPRECIATE IT.

I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT WATER IS, ESPECIALLY, UH, BRINGING THE RESOURCES.

IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT CHEAP.

IT'S, UM, VERY EXPENSIVE TO DO.

AND SO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE A SAFE, UH, WATER SUPPLY FOR NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE.

SO, THANK YOU.

[00:20:01]

I, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

IF YOU, IF YOU COULD PUT THAT CHART THAT SHOWED, UH, HOW MUCH, UM, RECYCLED WATER'S BEING USED.

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE? THAT ONE? YEAH.

YEAH, I CAN, MY QUESTION IS, I, I'M ASSUMING BECAUSE CHINO AND ONTARIO ARE THE CLOSEST TO YOUR FACILITIES AND DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AQUIFER, THAT IT'S VERY EASY FOR THEM TO GET RECYCLED WATER AND TO BE ABLE TO USE RECYCLED WATER FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES, WHATEVER ELSE THEY MAY BE ABLE TO LEGALLY UTILIZE IT AND MAYBE EVEN SOME FOR RECHARGE.

YEAH.

UM, SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT, UM, CVWD OR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND YOUR SERVICE AREA, ONLY USING ABOUT, WHAT, 36% OF WHAT WE COULD HAVE? YES.

CORRECT.

THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE TO MOVE THE WATER, THE RECYCLED WATER UP TO US.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE PAYING FOR IT, UM, IN A SENSE, YEAH.

THEN WHEN THE AGENCIES FURTHER SOUTH GAIN A GREATER BENEFIT.

AND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE, AND, AND IF I'M, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, TO DISTRIBUTE THAT MORE EQUITABLY ACROSS YOUR WHOLE SERVICE REGION, THE 11 AGENCIES THAT YOU REPRESENT.

YEAH.

IN ESSENCE, THAT'S, THAT'S TRUE.

UH, BUT THE, THE COMMENT I HAVE IS, IS THEY DO PAY FOR THE WATER.

SO IT'S NOT, THERE'S NOT AN EQUITY IN TERMS OF THE PAYMENT, BUT THEY, BUT THEY ARE IN, LIKE YOU SAID, BUT I CAN'T GET THAT WATER.

AND I WOULD PAY FOR IT IF I COULD GET IT, IF YOU COULD GET IT, OR WE YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

IT WOULD PROVIDE MORE ACCESS TO US TO THAT, UH, RECYCLED WATER.

RIGHT.

AND ONE OF THE, THE ISSUES TOO IS THAT IT GETS LOST TO THE SANTA ANA RIVER.

SO THERE'S TIMES OF THE YEAR I MENTIONED THAT THERE'S, UH, SEASONAL LIMITATIONS WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF DEMAND FOR IT.

AND IT'S MOSTLY IN THE WINTER.

AND SO, UH, THAT GETS LOST TO SANTA ANA RIVER GOES DOWN TO ORANGE COUNTY.

UM, FOR US, UH, ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT WOULD HELP THAT BECAUSE WE COULD PUT IT IN THE GROUND MORE READILY, UH, ALL YEAR ROUND.

SURE.

AND SO THAT WOULD HELP US.

WONDERFUL.

AND THAT'S WHAT PART OF THAT 270 MILLION PLUS WHATEVER ELSE GRANTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE.

I, I WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR, YOUR PRESENTATION AND I REALLY DO FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT WHATEVER WE CAN DO AS A CITY TO HELP FACILITATE YOU SO THAT THERE'S MORE OF AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF, OF RECYCLED WATER, I WOULD REALLY, REALLY BE HAPPY TO DO OUR PART.

YEAH.

WE APPRECIATE THAT.

WE'LL TAKE YOU UP ON THAT ALRIGHTYY.

APPRECIATE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK BOTH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR.

EXCUSE ME.

MICHAEL AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AND PLEASE EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION TO YOUR BOARD'S, RESPECTIVE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS.

WE WILL.

THANK YOU, ALRIGHTYY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO PUBLIC

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS]

COMMUNICATIONS.

THIS BRINGS US, UM, TO THE TIME AND PLACE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THIS FIRE BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL ON ANY ITEM THAT'S INCLUDED ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA OR NOT.

INCLUDED COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL PUBLIC COMMUNICATION PERIOD, WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HOUR.

AND WE WILL THEN BEGIN OUR BUSINESS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

AND THOSE SPEAKERS THAT MAY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO IT WITHIN THAT FIRST HOUR, WE'LL, WE WILL TAKE THAT UP AT THE BE END OF THE MEETING.

SO, UM, WE HAVE 17 SPEAKERS, SO WE'LL GET STARTED.

THE RED LIGHT THAT YOU'LL SEE ON YOUR MICROPHONE THERE AT THE PODIUM, UM, WHEN THAT GOES OFF, THAT MEANS YOUR, YOUR THREE MINUTES IS UP.

THERE'S ALSO A TIMER UP ON THE BOARD.

SO OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS ALEX RE, FOLLOWED BY DEGO LOPEZ.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CITY COUNCIL.

I WANT TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY AND FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE AND FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR CITY AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND .

UM, I JUST WONDER IF THERE'S ANY UPDATE ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO I MENTIONED POSSIBLY BILLING A NASCAR RACETRACK HERE IN RANCHO, OR SOMEWHERE CLOSE BY.

WELL, CAL, CALIFORNIA LOST ALL THEIR RACETRACKS, WHICH IS REALLY A SHAME FOR NASCAR.

AND PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY IT, AND I ENJOY IT.

SO I, I'D APPRECIATE AN UPDATE, IF ANY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DIEGO LOPEZ.

DIEGO LOPEZ, FOLLOWED BY SHIRLEY MOON.

YES, MS. MAYOR DENNIS.

UM,

[00:25:01]

MY NAME IS DA LOPEZ.

AS I I SAY, THE FIRST TIME I LEARNED THE NAME OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA WAS IN 19 77, 30 MILES FROM WHERE BY MY COWORKER.

HE WAS AN OBSCURE CITY NAME UNTIL JACK BENNY POPULARIZED IT.

UH, BUT IN THOSE NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD LUXURY OF OWNING A TV, I HAD NO IDEA I WOULD BE A RESIDENT OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY.

AND THE HISTORY IT HAS, I NOW DOUBT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF, OF IT, BEGINNING WITH THE, THE WAYS AUTHORITIES OPERATE.

MR. MAYOR DENNIS MICHAEL, WHO NOMINATES THE POLICE CHIEF MICHAEL SMITH.

YOU MAY NOT, YOU DON'T NEED TO ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW.

MY APOLOGIES TO THE INDIGENOUS NATIVE AMERICANS FOR THAT TITLE.

AS CHIEF, HE'S NOT DOING HIS DUTY, HIS DUTIES PROPERLY, INCLUDING HIS DEPUTIES AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

I HAVE WITNESSED MORE THAN 10 OCCASIONS, SOME TACTIC BY THE GESTAPO SINCE JULY OF LAST YEAR, OF KIDNAPPING AND ABDUCTIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE COURTHOUSE IN FRONT OF THE POLICE AND THE CITY HALL, PARKING LOTS AND FEW MORE IN THE SURROUNDING STREETS OF THIS CITY HALL.

AND THERE'S BEEN NO POLICE INVOLVEMENT WHATSOEVER TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS.

WHY IS THAT? I THINK, I THINK YOUR POLICE FORCE IS COMPLICIT, MR. MAYOR, I CAN MAKE YOUR JOB A LOT EASIER IF YOU CANNOT DO YOUR JOB BY YOURSELF.

EXAMPLE, HAVE A CONFERENCE WITH THE MAYORS FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE AND TACKLE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE NAME OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY GETS TARNISHED AND IS SHOWN IN NATIONAL NEWS BY THE ATROCITIES, OR POSSIBLE FATALITIES BY THESE GOONS.

AND YOU AND COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD JUST BE WATCHING IT BY THE SIDELINES.

THANK YOU, SHIRLEY MOON.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS SHIRLEY.

IF YOU COULD LOOK AT ME WHILE I'M TALKING, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

'CAUSE I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

SINCE JULY, AT LEAST 37 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED BY FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT FROM THE AREA AROUND THE COUNTY COURT RIGHT HERE, INCLUDING FROM THE COURTHOUSE BUILDING ITSELF AND PARKING LOTS.

WE SEE MASS GOONS WAITING IN THE COURTHOUSE, PARKING LOTS SEVERAL DAYS A WEEK USING CARS WITH ILLEGALLY DARK TINTING, LICENSE PLATES STRAIGHT FROM THE JUNKYARD, REFUSING TO SHOW IDENTIFICATION AS ANY ACTUAL POLICE OFFICER WOULD, AND BUMBLING AROUND KIDNAPPING PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEGAL STATUS TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY BASED SOLELY ON RACIAL PROFILING.

IT'S EMBARRASSING THAT RANCHO SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES OFTEN LOOK JUST AS INCOMPETENT AS ICE AGENTS.

IN NOVEMBER, THEY UNLAWFULLY ARRESTED FAN IAN, A LABOR ORGANIZER WHO WAS WELL WITHIN HER RIGHTS, ACTING AS A LEGAL OBSERVER IN THE HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT ON ROCHESTER.

SHE IS DACA AND RANCHO PD PLACED HER AT UNNECESSARY RISK BY COMPELLING HER TO COME TO RANCHO COURT, WHICH IS THE SINGLE MOST TARGETED SITE FOR IMMIGRATION VIGILANTE ACTIVITY IN ALL OF SAN BERNARD BERNARDINO COUNTY SINCE JUNE LAST YEAR WHEN HER HEARING FINALLY CAME UP, THE DA DISMISSED THE CHARGES BECAUSE THEY WERE BOGUS AND THEY MAY BE GONE.

BUT THE PTSD IS LASTING.

IF YOU DON'T THINK ALL OF THIS IS A THREAT TO THE FREEDOM OF EVERYONE IN THIS CITY, IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN LOOK AT ME.

IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THESE GROSS VIOLATIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, ASHLEY, YOU ARE SIMPLY UNINTELLIGENT AND SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT.

YOU NEED TO DEMAND THAT RANCHO PD NICHOLAS, HOLD ICE DRIVERS TO THE SAME STANDARDS THAT EVERYONE IS HELD TO.

YOU NEED TO CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK, WHICH IS A THREAT TO THE CIVIL LIBERTIES OF ALL RANCHO RESIDENTS.

AND YOU NEED TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO MAKE THE COURT A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN EXPECT DUE PROCESS.

[00:30:01]

BEFORE I CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER, I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE FEELING VERY EXCITED AND WANT TO APPLAUD MAYBE EVEN SOMEBODY BOO.

WE REALLY DON'T ALLOW THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR.

THIS WE WANT EVERYBODY TO FEEL FREE TO COME FORTH TO THE PODIUM.

THEY MAY NOT FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO.

MAYBE THEY DO, MAYBE THEY DON'T.

BUT IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE DO ME A BIG FAVOR AND JUST HOLD THE APPLAUSE SO WE CAN GET THROUGH A LOT OF SPEAKERS THIS EVENING.

I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

JENNIFER SMITH, FOLLOWED BY LIZ UNA.

HI.

I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE ME, UM, TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

THAT HAPPENS ONCE AGAIN IN THIS VERY PARKING LOT.

THIS IS MY FOURTH OR FIFTH TIME HERE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH YOU GUYS.

IT HAPPENS RIGHT IN THE SAME PARKING LOT WHERE YOU GUYS HOLD YOUR MEETINGS, WHERE THEY HOLD THEIR MEETINGS.

TODAY ALONE, THERE WERE NINE ICE VEHICLES IN THIS PARKING LOT, DRIVING RECKLESSLY, WEARING MASKS IN VEHICLES WITH DARK TINT SITTING INSIDE COURTROOMS AND COURT CAFES WAITING TO TAKE PEOPLE.

AT OUR WORST, WE HAVE SIX PEOPLE A DAY BEING DISAPPEARED BY MASKED MEN WHO DO NOT IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, WHO ARE NOT PRESENTING WARRANTS.

AND YOU'RE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS.

WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU SINCE JUNE.

CONSERVATIVELY, IF THEY WERE TAKING ONE PERSON A MONTH, WE WOULD BE GO ONE PERSON A WEEK.

WE WOULD BE GONE.

A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

WE'RE WELL OVER THAT.

WE ARE WELL OVER THAT PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO COME TO COURT.

YOU ARE ROBBING THEM OF DUE PROCESS.

IF THEY ARE SCARED TO ATTEND THEIR COURT HEARINGS, THEY ARE NOT BEING TREATED EQUALLY.

IF THEY COME HERE AND AFTER THEIR COURT HEARINGS WHERE THEY'RE NOT GETTING CONVICTIONS, WHERE THEIR CONVICTIONS ARE BEING SCRUBBED AND THEN THEY ARE BEING DISAPPEARED, THAT'S STILL ROBBING THEM OF DUE PROCESS.

YOU ARE ALLOWING ICE AGENTS TO USE CITY AND GOVERNMENT PROPERTY DAY IN AND DAY OUT, PARKING AN EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT WHERE YOU PARK.

THEY'RE PARKING THERE WITHOUT PERMITS AND THEY ARE STALKING PEOPLE INSIDE YOUR COURTHOUSE.

THE BARE MINIMUM OF OUR DEMANDS IS THAT YOU REINSTATE VIRTUAL OPTIONS FOR COURT HEARINGS SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING DISAPPEARED DAILY, THAT YOU PROHIBIT IMMIGRATION AGENTS FROM USING YOUR COURTHOUSE AND STATE PROPERTY TO ENGAGE IN THESE ILLEGAL ACTIONS.

WE WANT YOU TO END YOUR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK.

WE JUST HEARD ABOUT WHY RECYCLED WATER'S NECESSARY AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE NEED.

AND YET, LAST MARCH, YOU PAID $260,000 FOR FLOCK IN ADDITION TO $70,000 A YEAR FOR LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS.

SO YOU CAN MONITOR CITIZENS SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY USE FLOCK CAMERAS TO LOOK INTO PROTESTORS AGAINST ICE AGAINST ISRAEL PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTORS.

THEY'RE MONITORING YOUR CITIZENS AND YOU'RE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE REWARDING THEM FOR IT.

I WILL SEE YOU HERE AT EVERY MEETING UNTIL THIS ENDS.

END YOUR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK.

WORK FOR THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CLAIM TO WORK FOR, AND MEET THE GOALS ON YOUR FRICKING WEBSITE THAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA MEET BY MAKING AN EQUITABLE SOCIETY.

GREAT JOB.

THAT'S HAPPENED RECENTLY.

LIZ KUNA, PLEASE.

FOLLOWED BY LAVA BLAND.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

UM, HERE I AM AGAIN AND I'LL CONTINUE TO COME.

UM, JUST THE EMOTION THAT SHE WAS DISPLAYING.

CAN YOU IMAGINE US THAT WE LIVE WITH THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES PROTESTING AGAINST HAMILTON'S BREWERY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED THERE? THESE TWO KIDS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE IN THEIR TWENTIES TRYING TO BEAT UP ON AN OLDER MAN OLD ENOUGH TO BE THEIR GRANDFATHER.

A A PHYSICAL FIGHT IN OUR STREETS.

THIS IS WHAT OUR KIDS ARE OBJECT SUBJECTED TO AND NOTHING'S HAPPENED.

OH, THE SIDE, THE THE CURVES GOT PAINTED RED.

THERE'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH PARKING FOR JOSHUA HAMILTON.

I SAW HIM PARK ON FARON 'CAUSE HE DIDN'T PARK ON IN HIS OWN BUSINESS.

WHY SHOULDN'T HE HAVE HAD? WASN'T THAT PART OF HIS CONDITIONS TO HAVE AMPLE PARKING FOR HIS BUSINESS WHEN YOU OPEN A BUSINESS? I THOUGHT THAT WAS, UM, PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

HE KNEW WHEN HE MOVED THERE THAT THERE WAS NOT AMPLE PARKING FOR HIS BUSINESS.

AND IT'S STILL ALLOWED.

WHY IS HE OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT SUMMER'S COMING?

[00:35:01]

IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT CRIME, UH, ESCALATES DURING THE SUMMER.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT OUR SUMMER'S GONNA BE LIKE? HE HASN'T BEEN THERE FOR A SUMMER, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, THINGS ARE ESCALATING.

THEY'RE ALREADY OUTTA BOIL.

THEY PEOPLE PARKING IN FRONT OF HYDRANT FIRE HYDRANTS.

THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR OUR RESPECT.

IT'S BEEN A WAR.

I SAID IT BEFORE.

IT'S A WAR FOR HIS PATRONS.

HIS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE MOCKING US, DISRESPECTING US.

I GOT INTO IT WITH A PERSON PARKED ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE A FIRE HYDRANT THERE.

AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO PARK THERE.

I WOULD'VE NEVER PARKED THERE.

IT'S LIKE, OH, WHAT, WHAT IF THERE'S A FIRE? I'M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT THAT.

ISN'T IT 15 FEET FROM WHAT I'M READING, STILL PARKED THERE AND THE COPS DON'T COME.

YOU CALL 'EM.

THEY THEY DON'T COME.

ONE PERSON PARKED ON THE RED.

THEY DIDN'T COME.

I DON'T, I DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO FREAKING CALL.

'CAUSE I'M SO SICK OF IT.

I'M SO SICK OF IT.

AND I LIVE THERE 24 7.

I'M A GOOD CITIZEN.

PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, OH, HAMILTON, HE MADE A SACRIFICE AND SOLD HIS HOUSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S NOT A SACRIFICE.

THAT'S A GAMBLE.

MY FATHER WOULD'VE NEVER GAMBLED HIS HOME FOR HIS FAMILY.

NEVER.

AND I THINK THAT'S DISGUSTING THAT HE GAMBLED IT.

GOOD.

HE'S SUCCESSFUL.

BUT WHAT, AT OUR EXPENSE, I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS COMING TO A BOIL BOYLE.

IN ONE OF THE FIRST MEETINGS, WE HAD A RESIDENT HERE, A MALE RESIDENT, COME HERE.

AND WHAT DID HE SAY? HE SAID, OH, WE'LL JUST WIND UP TAKING THE LAWN TO OUR OWN HOUSE.

AND I'M HOPING THAT WHAT CAROL NORRIS TOLD US THAT SHE WANTS TO HELP HIM, UM, PUT A, A VALET PARKING ON MY STREET, BUT OH, BUT THEY'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE ALLEY.

PEOPLE UTILIZE THAT ALLEY.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR FOR THE RESIDENTS.

NOW YOU WANNA BRING THE PATRONS DRUNK PATRONS ARE GONNA GIVE A DRUNK PATRON HIS KEYS AFTER DRINKING.

'CAUSE IT FUNCTIONS AS A BAR, NOT AS A BREWERY.

IT FUNCTIONS AT A BAR.

PEOPLE ARE THERE ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT.

AND I'VE WITNESSED IT.

I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S COMING TO A BOIL AND IT'S GONNA BE AT OUR EXPENSE.

AND IT'S YOUR FAULT.

'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT DOING NOTHING.

YOU'RE NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH.

HURT YOURSELF.

LAVE BLAND, FOLLOWED BY SAMUEL GRACIA.

NO, I MINUTE.

HEY.

HELLO.

'CAUSE I'M REALLY SICK OF ALL OF YOU AT THIS POINT FOR FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT.

I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LONG WITH THAT BREWERY.

OKAY? THEY GO ON AND ON AND ON.

KIDS ARE CRYING TILL 12 MIDNIGHT.

THEY HAVE A CERTAIN TIME THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO START SHUTTING DOWN FOR LAST CALL.

AND THEY DON'T.

THEY WAIT TILL IT'S ON THE MONEY AND THEN THEY SHUT IT DOWN.

AND THEN THE IDIOTS ARE IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL ONE AND TWO IN THE MORNING.

I LITERALLY CALLED THE BAR YESTERDAY AND TOLD THEM, GET YOUR BUTT IN YOUR PARKING LOT AND GET RID OF THOSE PEOPLE.

I'D LIKE TO GO TO SLEEP DOWN.

OKAY? I WANT MY PRIVACY IN MY HOME BACK.

YOU GUYS HAVE TO SHUT THEM DOWN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

THAT'S A JOKE.

HE'S SELLING HIS BEER EVERYWHERE.

EVERYWHERE.

OKAY? THAT LITTLE, THOSE COUPLE OF DAYS.

FOR ME TO HAVE A PEACE OF MIND MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

OKAY? YOU GUYS ARE JUST SITTING THERE DOING NOTHING AND IT'S JUST GOING ON AND ON AND ON.

AND THE COPS, I DON'T, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THEY'RE INVOLVED.

THEY DON'T DO NOTHING.

LAST NIGHT I SAW A GUY TRY TO LITERALLY SIDE CLIP A COP THAT CAME ON OUR BLOCK BECAUSE THERE WAS TWO GUYS FIGHTING AT THE END OF OUR STREET THAT WAS FROM THE BREWERY, OKAY? THEN WE HAD SOME GUY THAT WAS CRUISING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I COUNTED NINE TIMES IN HIS BMW, DARK BMW.

THERE WAS TWO LITTLE KIDS PLAYING IN A FRONT YARD.

FINALLY, WHEN I CALL THE, THE COPS, THE GUY DISAPPEARED.

NOW WE GOT PROBABLY PEDOPHILES ON OUR BLOCK.

AND AS FAR AS THESE SHERIFFS, THEY DON'T COME WHEN WE CALL.

SO DON'T TELL US TO CALL BECAUSE THEY'RE USELESS.

OKAY? TOTALLY USELESS.

WE NEED OUR LIVES BACK.

OKAY? YOU GUYS HAVE TO CUT HIS HOURS.

WE NEED TO HAVE QUIET TIME.

THERE'S KIDS STILL IN SCHOOL THAT ARE WALKING DOWN OUR STREETS AT FIVE O'CLOCK.

WHY IS HE OPEN SO EARLY? WHY IS HE CLOSING SO LATE? IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

OKAY, THERE, OUR CARS ARE GETTING HIT IN OUR OWN PARKING LOTS BECAUSE OF THE DRUNKS.

AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE FROM DISNEYLAND LAST NIGHT.

I NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET, LITERALLY WALKING UP OUR STREETS.

WHY ARE THEY STILL COMING OUT ON OUR STREET? WHY ARE, ARE THEY NOT HAVING THEIR DRIVEWAY ON ARCHIBALD WHERE THEY CAN GO KILL EACH OTHER OVER THERE? NO, THEY'RE STILL ON OUR STREETS.

YOU GUYS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO PROTECT OUR STREETS.

LET'S WHERE'S OUR PERMITS? AND NOT ONLY US, YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE 'EM TO EVERYBODY.

NOW FARON IS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED.

NOW THESE PEOPLE ARE DEVASTATED.

OKAY? SO IT'S SPEWING THEIR, HIS TRASH IS OVER THERE NOW, OH, AND BY THE WAY, THEY STARTED PARKING ON ARCHIBALD.

THAT'S A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS.

SO NOW HIS BREWERY GUYS ARE PARKING

[00:40:01]

THEIR CARS ON ARCHIBALD WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE.

THERE'S NO PARKING THERE.

IT SAYS NO PARKING ANYTIME.

THEY DON'T CARE.

SO YOU GUYS HAVE TO STOP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK AND COME TO A BETTER CONCLUSION.

START SENDING HIM EMAILS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? HE'S AFTER HOURS.

OKAY? ALL THE TIME, PATTY HAVE TO BE CLOSED.

SAMUEL GRACIA, FOLLOW BY ROSEANNE.

JEFF JERRY'S.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

HELLO, CITY COUNCIL.

WE'RE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE SAID WE'D BE BACK IN NOVEMBER.

I WARNED YOU THAT THERE WOULD BE A DUI AND NO LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THERE WAS ONE, WE HAVE VIDEO OF IT WHILE THE DUDE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE THE PREMISES AFTER HIS DISPUTE BROKE OUT, WHICH A LOT OF THOSE TEND TO BREAK OUT AT HAMILTON'S, SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT BROKE OUT TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO AT HIS PRIOR LOCATION THAT RESULTED IN ONE OF HIS OWN GUYS GETTING SHOT BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF PATRONS THAT COME TO HIS ESTABLISHMENTS.

WE WARNED YOU THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, BUT YOU GUYS DIDN'T LISTEN.

INSTEAD YOU HAVE STAFFERS COMING OUT, DOING BUSY WORK, LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING, COLLECTING DATA, WHICH, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S ACTUALLY BEING DONE WITH THAT DATA BECAUSE ALL IT DOES IS SEEM TO MAKE US QUI TO QUIET US DOWN AND SAY US.

AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT NONE OF YOU GIVE A FLYING FORTIFICATION ABOUT WHAT GOES ON ON MAIN STREET.

EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS ALLEGATIONS THAT MORE AND MORE TENSIONS ARISING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

ON HAMILTON'S, UH, PAGE, HE HAS A PATRON SAYING THAT RESIDENT, THAT THEY GOT INTO A RESIDENT AND THEY KEYED HER CAR.

THAT SHOULD SHOW YOU THAT RED FLAGS ARE FORMING THERE.

I'M P****D ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE VISION THAT MY GRANDFATHER SAW FOR NORTHTOWN.

AND IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT RANCHO, YOU WOULD'VE FOLLOWED THAT.

BUT NOT EVEN NORTHTOWN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOLLOWS THAT ANYMORE.

THEY CAN'T EVEN GET OUR LAST NAME RIGHT? SO I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY WHO MY GRANDFATHER IS.

YOU SHOULD KNOW WE DON'T CONDONE THIS BEHAVIOR OF KING CARS, BUT WE DON'T CONDONE THEM PEEING ON OUR LAWNS, WHICH IS A CRIME THAT WOULD LAND YOU ON A SEXUAL OFFENDER LIST.

BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY CARES ABOUT THAT ANYMORE.

NOW IT DOES.

IT PLEASE ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE'S KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT OR A KID GETS HIT BECAUSE I WILL BE RIGHT HERE TO SCREAM AT AT YOU NEXT TIME.

THANK YOU ROSEANNE.

JERRYS YOUNG MAN.

PLEASE, WOULD YOU PLEASE FOLLOW MY I KNOW YOU ARE.

AND I SAID, NO CLAPPING PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS ROSEANNE.

I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE.

UM, AND I'M ANOTHER CONCERNED CITIZEN HERE TO EXPRESS MY DEEP CONCERN ABOUT ICE PRESENCE IN THIS CITY.

AS WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE NATION, ICE'S ACTIONS TOWARDS INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY INHUMANE.

AND HERE IN MY OWN BACKYARD IS NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE FLOCK SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO GO.

IT FRIGHTENS AND DISGUSTS ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

SO MUCH SO THAT IT PUSHED ME TO ATTEND MY VERY FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

AND I'M SURE THAT IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST.

I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE HERE CARE SO DEEPLY ABOUT THIS FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN INJUSTICE AND WE NEED YOU TO ACT.

RANCHOS RESIDENTS WITH YOUR LICENSE PLATE SCANNERS.

THANK YOU CRYSTAL.

FOLLOWED BY ULYSSES CAVALLO.

SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT 39 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE.

IT'S BEEN 45 TOTAL SINCE JUNE.

AND THAT'S ONLY THE CASES THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM BECAUSE WE HAVE CONCERNED CITIZENS ON THE STREET WHO ARE TAKING ACTION AND WHO ARE TAKING CARE OF THE RESIDENTS OF THIS PLACE.

AS I MENTIONED, AND AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THIS BUILDING.

SOME OF THEM WITHIN THESE, UM, WALLS, PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT, THE QUOTE UNQUOTE RIGHT WAY, AS APPARENTLY HAS BEEN A CONCERN OF WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING THE LEGAL PROCEDURES AND YET THEY ARE FOLLOWING THEIR LEGAL PROCEDURES.

THEY'RE SHOWING UP FOR THEIR COURT DATES TO JUST, JUST BE KIDNAPPED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THESE WALLS TWICE, UH, THE WRONG PERSON WAS TAKEN.

SO HOW ARE YOU ENSURING THE SAFETY OF ALL OF YOUR RESIDENTS WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT ICE IS SO INCOMPETENT THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND THE RIGHT PERSON? YOU'RE ALLOWING THESE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS TO KIDNAP PEOPLE OFF OF THE STREET.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE CITY, ARE YOU KEEPING TRACK OF THE JUDICIAL WARRANTS? DO WE KNOW THAT THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING TAKEN ACTUALLY HAVE A REASON TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS? YOU'RE MONITORING

[00:45:01]

MANY OF THE ICE VEHICLES THAT COME IN HERE DON'T HAVE VALID LICENSE PLATES OR THEY SWITCH 'EM OUT.

AS FAR AS I KNOW, TAMPERING WITH YOUR LICENSE PLATES IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

YOU'RE COMPLICIT IN THESE KIDNAPPINGS.

YOU'RE COMPLICIT IN THE CONTINUED VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS FACING AND THAT THIS COUNTRY IS FACING AS A WHOLE.

DON'T BE COMPLICIT WITH THIS ETHNIC CLEANSING CAMPAIGN THAT IS CURRENTLY RAVAGING THIS COUNTRY.

BUT AS I'VE HEARD FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT HAMILTON, IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU COULD CARE LESS ABOUT SOME OF YOUR RESIDENTS AS LONG AS IT'S NOT PUTTING MONEY INTO YOUR WALLETS OR MONEY INTO THE WALLETS OF YOUR COLLABORATORS.

TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THE RIGHTS OF ALL OF RANCHOS RESIDENTS, ALL OF THE WORKERS THAT COME TO WORK HERE AND ALL OF ITS VISITORS.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT YET CONCERNED WITH THE CONTINUED VIOLATION OF PEOPLE'S HUMAN RIGHTS, HISTORY HAS SHOWN US THAT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THOSE RIGHTS AND PEOPLE START COMING AFTER YOU AS WELL.

ULYSSES CAVALLO, FOLLOWED BY ADRIAN MEDINA.

UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

COUNSEL.

UH, MY NAME IS ULYSSES CALVIO AND I'VE BEEN A PROUD RESIDENT OF RANCH CUCAMONGA, UH, SINCE 2001.

I'M HERE BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE, NOT JUST FROM CRIME, BUT FROM FEAR ITSELF.

IN MY 25 YEARS OF LIVING IN THE CITY, I HAVE NEVER ONCE FELT UNSAFE.

WRENCH CUCAMONGA HAS ALWAYS FELT LIKE HOME.

A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES THRIVE, WHERE NEIGHBORS LOOK AFTER ONE ANOTHER, AND WHERE PEOPLE CAN MOVE THROUGH DAILY LIFE WITH CONFIDENCE AND DIGNITY.

THAT IS THE W CUCAMONGA I KNOW AND LOVE.

AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO CALLS THE CITY HOME DESERVES TO FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

THAT IS WHY I'M DEEPLY TROUBLED.

SINCE JUNE OF 2025, THERE HAS BEEN IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS TARGETING INDIVIDUALS AT THIS COURTHOUSE.

THE COURTHOUSE, A PLACE THAT EXISTS TO DELIVER JUSTICE.

A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, PAY FINES, APPEAR AS WITNESSES, AND SEEK PROTECTION THROUGH RESTRAINING ORDERS AND FAMILY COURT PROCEEDINGS.

WHEN PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO ENTER A COURTHOUSE, JUSTICE BREAKS DOWN FOR EVERYONE.

VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DON'T SHOW UP.

WITNESSES DON'T TESTIFY.

PARENTS MISS CUSTODY HEARINGS.

THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND IT AFFECTS EVERY RESIDENT OF THIS CITY REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA PRIDES ITSELF ON BEING A WELCOMING FAMILY ORIENTED COMMUNITY.

OUR RESIDENTS, IMMIGRANTS AND NATIVE BORN ALIKE WORK HERE, WORSHIP HERE, RAISE CHILDREN HERE AND PAY TAXES HERE.

THEY DESERVE TO MOVE THROUGH CIVIC SPACES WITHOUT FEAR OF ARREST.

THE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO FEEL FOR 25 YEARS SHOULD NOT BE A PRIVILEGE.

IT SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR EVERYONE.

I'M ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO TAKE A CLEAR AND PUBLIC POSITION THAT OUR CITIES, INSTITUTIONS, OUR LIBRARIES, OUR PARKS, OUR COURTHOUSES, SHOULD BE SAFE SPACES FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

I URGE THE COUNCIL TO FORMALLY COMMUNICATE TO COUNTY AND FEDERAL PARTNERS THAT COURTHOUSE ENFORCEMENT UNDERMINES PUBLIC TRUST AND COMMUNITY COOPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I ALSO ASK THAT A, THE CITY EXPLORE A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMITMENT TO DUE PROCESS AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR ALL RESIDENTS.

A RESOLUTION THAT SENDS A MESSAGE THAT DIGNITY AND SAFETY ARE NON-NEGOTIABLES IN THIS CITY.

OUR RESIDENTS ARE WATCHING TONIGHT.

THEY WANNA KNOW THAT THEIR CITY LEADERS, SEE THEM, HEAR THEM, AND STAND WITH THEM.

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE INSTITUTIONS THAT HOLD IT TOGETHER.

IS THIS ON? YES, IT IS.

ALRIGHT, GOOD.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, I'M HERE ON A CONCERN ABOUT THE BREWERY.

THIS IS MY FAMILY HERE, MY WIFE, AND MY TWO CHILDREN.

UM, LAST NIGHT WE WERE OUT IN FRONT 'CAUSE IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, YOU KNOW, UM, WE LOVE THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

WE PURCHASED A HOME ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THERE ON REED AVENUE BEFORE THE BREWERY WAS THERE.

UM, AND SINCE THEN, MAN, WE'VE, WE FEEL VERY UNSAFE LETTING OUR KIDS JUST GO OUT TO THE FRONT YARD TO PLAY.

THERE'S DRUNK PEOPLE DRIVING UP AND DOWN, SPEEDING UP AND DOWN THE STREETS.

UM, LIKE ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS JUST MENTIONED, THEY'RE LAST NIGHT WE WERE OUT THERE JUST MONITORING, SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON.

UM, SOMEBODY CAME DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.

THERE WAS A PATROL CAR IN THE CORNER.

HE ALMOST CRASHED INTO HIM, SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES BEFORE HE LIKE, RECOGNIZED THAT THAT WAS A POLICE OFFICER.

SO YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THERE SPEEDING, UM, YOU KNOW, VIOLENT, JUST LOUD THROUGH OUR STREETS.

IT'S IS VERY DISTURBING.

IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE FROM WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED OUR HOME AND MOVED IN THERE.

WE WORKED VERY HARD TO PURCHASE A HOME HERE IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I'VE GROWN UP HERE.

UM, AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE SEEN

[00:50:01]

OTHER AREAS AND EVERYTHING.

WE LOVE RANCHO.

WE JUST NEED YOU GUYS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HAMILTON BREWERY.

PLEASE.

SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT.

YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS SAYING, PEOPLE ARE UPSET.

UH, LAST NIGHT IT WAS ST.

PATRICK'S DAY, SO IT CALLED FOR A BIGGER PRESENCE LAST NIGHT.

UM, BUT I KNOW THAT WE'VE, OUR COMMUNITY HAS GATHERED COUNTLESS TIMES EVERY FIRST AND THIRD WEDNESDAY.

AND YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THOSE STORIES.

BUT WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELVES NEXT THURSDAY.

UH, IS DODGERS OPENING DAY? AND I CAN ALREADY TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO BE A MAD HOUSE.

WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GATHER AS A COLLECTIVE TEAM ALONG WITH THE SHERIFF AND, AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES, IT IS DODGERS OPENING DAY AND MARK OUR WORDS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A MAD HOUSE.

STOP HEARING WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES.

SEE WHAT THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES ON DAYS LIKE THIS UFC FIGHT NIGHTS IN, IN DAYS LIKE THIS.

IT GETS CRAZY.

SUMMERTIME IS, IS COMING UP.

I WANTED TO GO WATER MY PLANTS.

GUESS WHAT? ALL MY, MY KIDS, SO YOU GUYS REMEMBER FROM LAST TIME, I HAVE FOUR KIDS.

THEY FOLLOWED ME RIGHT OUTSIDE.

I JUST WANTED PEACE AND QUIET.

BUT THEY FOLLOWED ME.

THEY PUT ON THEIR SKATES.

THEY, UM, WATERED THE, THE PLANTS.

AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH MY KIDS RUNNING AROUND ON THE SIDEWALKS ANYMORE.

I DON'T.

AND YOU GUYS WANT TO USE THE ALLEYWAY? THAT ALLEYWAY, WE USE THAT.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME NO, I CAN'T USE THE SIDEWALK.

SO NOW USE THE ALLEYWAY, BUT NOW I CAN'T USE THAT 'CAUSE YOU GUYS ARE CONSIDERING THAT FOR THEM TOO.

MARY LUNA, FOLLOWED BY MIGUEL ESPINOZA.

HELLO MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND POLICE OFFICERS.

UM, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT YOU GUYS WERE PLANNING ON DOING WITH, UM, IT'S LIKE AN ABANDONED, I THINK IT'S LIKE AN OLD TRAIN STATION ON THE PACIFIC.

UH, LIKE WHERE EVERYBODY WALKS ON TWANDA ABOVE BASELINE.

SO, UM, I WAS HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE IN SUPPORT, MAYBE LEASING IT OUT.

I COULD OPEN UP A COFFEE SHOP, SMALL BITES FOR PEOPLE THAT WALK ON THE TRAIL AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

'CAUSE I KNOW BEFORE YOU GUYS ARE THINKING ABOUT PUTTING SOME HOUSING UNIT THERE, BUT WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT A COFFEE SHOP? I DON'T KNOW WHO I WOULD SPEAK TO ABOUT THAT.

OR IF YOU GUYS WANNA SELL IT, SPEAK TO OUR COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR IN THE BACK.

UM, NET MARQUEZ BE HAPPY TO SPEAK TO YOU.

OH, HE CAN PROBABLY GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

I JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE, COME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING.

A PROTEST, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN ACROSS THE STREET IN THE BIG OLD TIRE PARKING LOT, LOOKS AROUND, GOES RIGHT TO THE CORNER AND RELIEVES HIMSELF THERE AS A LADY.

BUT THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOU DO AND POLICE OFFICERS AS WELL.

UH, YOU DID YOU LEAVE YOUR PURSE? OH, SOMEBODY.

UM, SO JUST SOME UPDATES THAT I'VE, AGAIN, LIKE I'VE TOLD YOU AND I'M TELLING EVERYBODY HERE, UH, I'M ONLY TALKING ABOUT WHAT I SEE AND WHAT I HEAR WITH MY OWN EYES AND MY OWN EARS.

OKAY? SO, UH, CHILDREN OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT, I KNOW THEY'RE WITH THEIR PARENTS, BUT IF THEIR PARENTS AREN'T CONSUMING ALCOHOL, WHO'S GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF THESE CHILDREN WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO HOME? AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN LIKE 10, 11, 12.

I'M TALKING ABOUT A FOUR OR 5-YEAR-OLD, PAST MIDNIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT, JUST HAVING A GOOD OLD TIME.

THEN THEY GET OUT OF THE PARK, GET OUTTA THE BREWERY AND WALK DOWN THE STREET.

I HAVE VIDEO OF THAT, OF COURSE.

SO, UM, SAMUEL CIO MENTIONED, UH, THE DUI MARCH 6TH, WE'RE PROBABLY THINKING, OH, 10 30, 11 O'CLOCK, MAYBE MIDNIGHT, SIX 30 IN THE EVENING, SIX 30 IN THE EVENING.

I WAS JUST GETTING HOME MAYBE LIKE 20 MINUTES BEFORE THAT.

AND THIS GUY'S ALREADY SO INTOXICATED THAT HE'S OUT DANCING IN THE STREET, GOES TO GET IN HIS CAR.

BY THE TIME I GO IN AND GET MY JACKET AND MY SHOES, HE'S ALREADY PULLED OVER.

I HAVE VIDEO OF ALL OF THAT AS WELL.

UM, SO AFTER

[00:55:01]

AND HER CHILD WERE WALKING NEXT TO THEM.

THEY WEREN'T WITH THE THAT GUY AND THE WOMAN, BUT WHAT WAS HE THINKING WHEN THERE'S A CHILD THERE, THERE'S A BATHROOM IN THE BREWERY.

SO DOES THAT MEAN HE'S ALREADY THAT INTOXICATED, THAT HE DOESN'T CARE? AND THIS WASN'T IN THE EVENING, 8, 9, 10 O'CLOCK.

THIS WAS IN DAYLIGHT AT FIVE.

I HAVE VIDEO OF THAT AS WELL.

SO AFTER THAT I DECIDED, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S GO SEE WHAT HIS OLD PARKING LOT ON SEVENTH STREET'S LIKE.

DROVE DOWN THERE, GUY'S STANDING OUTSIDE IN HIS CAR, LIGHTING UP THAT BONG.

GUESS WHERE HE'S GONNA GO TO THE BREWERY.

SO HE'S NOT ONLY GONNA GET HIGH AND PROBABLY GET DRUNK AND THEN TRAVEL ON OUR STREETS, OUR SAFE STREETS.

I'M HOPING THE POLICE DOES SOMETHING.

UH, AS FAR AS THOSE, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ICE.

I WASN'T AWARE.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY'RE HERE AND I'M HERE TO LISTEN TO WHAT'S GOING ON.

THAT'S, THAT'S A SHAME.

I FEEL EMBARRASSED AS A RANCHO KOKOMO RESIDENT, RESIDENT.

THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN'T COME AND DO THEIR BUSINESS HERE.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT ESCALATING, ESCALATE TO WHERE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A WARRANT.

THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND GO TO COURT AND THEN ICE IS TAKING THEM.

SHAME.

LAURA ESPINOZA, FOLLOWED BY ELIJAH G.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR CITY COUNCIL.

I WAS ACTUALLY PREPARED TO JUST SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ME BECAUSE, UM, I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW JOSH, UH, VERY INTIMATELY, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ANY OF US.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO FOR A LIVING.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE CAREGIVERS.

YOU DON'T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS.

SO I REALLY WANTED TO JUST SHARE WHO I AM.

AGAIN, MY NAME IS LAURA.

I GREW UP IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I WENT TO VA VISTA ELEMENTARY.

I WENT TO, UH, COOK CUCAMONGA MIDDLE SCHOOL, RANCHO CUCAMONGA MIDDLE SCHOOL, CHAFFEE HIGH SCHOOL, UM, AND HAVE GROWN UP IN THIS AREA ALL MY LIFE AND AM VERY PROUD TO BE HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I DON'T THINK ANY OF US WANT TO BECAUSE WHERE OUR HOME IS, WAS PEACEFUL AND QUIET AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT BACK.

SO THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS I COMPLETELY SUPPORT ALL THOSE THAT ARE HERE SPEAKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND THE LACK OF DUE PROCESS FOR MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE TRYING TO ACTUALLY DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.

AGAIN, I'M EMBARRASSED ABOUT THAT, THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN OUR CITY.

AND LIKE MY BROTHER SAID, I WAS COMPLETELY BLIND TO THIS.

I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS HAPPENING HERE.

HOW EMBARRASSING.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TOO.

AND I'M GONNA FINISH ALSO, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE BREWERY.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT SOME STEPS ARE BEING TAKE TAKEN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

BECAUSE AS YOU HEARD, THINGS ARE ESCALATING.

PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY.

PEOPLE THAT DRIVE OUT OF THAT BREWERY FLIP US OFF ALL THE TIME.

THEY ARE HOSTILE.

THEY PARK WHEREVER THEY WANT.

THEY HAVE NO RESPECT.

SO I JUST WANNA FINISH AND CONCLUDE WITH READING CITY COUNCIL VISION STATEMENT, WHICH STATES OUR VISION IS TO CREATE AN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND VIBRANT CITY RICH IN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO THRIVE.

RICH IN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO THRIVE IS THAT EXCEPT MAIN STREET, NORTHTOWN.

NACHO GRACIA WOULD BE COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED AT THIS SITUATION.

HE IS ACTUALLY, AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP US PUT THIS BACK ON TRACK.

PLEASE HELP US.

THANK YOU ELIJAH G FOLLOWED BY JULIA MORENO, EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, I'M HERE TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE THUS FAR IN THE PROTEST

[01:00:01]

TO HAMILTON BREWERY.

WE'VE HAD ENCOUNTERS WITH ANTIER ANTI PROTESTORS ON SATURDAYS AT NOON.

COME JOIN US BY THE WAY.

A RANGING FROM THEM, YELLING FROM THEIR INTIMIDATINGLY, DARK TINTED ANY KIND OF CAR TRUCK.

SUV, YOU NAME IT, SHOUTING, RANGING FROM CRY, B WORD CRY.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT WORK? GO HOME.

WHICH IRONICALLY, THAT IS OUR HOME AND WE'RE, WHICH IS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW THEY'RE INEBRIATED DRIVING OR I'LL RUN YOU OVER.

PLUS FOOTAGE OF THEM CUTTING FROM THROUGH THE PARKING LOT PARALLEL TO ARCHIBALD ON, ON HAMILTON'S PROPERTY.

CUTTING THROUGH THAT TURNING RIGHT FOR PARKING ON MAIN STREET, WHICH IS ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS TO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT I'VE SEEN PERSONALLY THERE.

UM, THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT A BAR ATTRACTS, NOT A BREWERY.

YOU ALSO CAME TO MY COLLEGE, CAL POLY POMONA IN SEARCH OF POSSIBLE INTERNS FOR A VARYING OF CAREER FIELDS.

AND WHEN ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT CROWD ASKED THE REPRESENTED PANEL, I DIDN'T KNOW THEM.

I JUST CAME TO VISIT AND SEE I DIDN'T MAKE ANY COMMOTION.

WHAT DOES RANCHO COOK MANGA MEAN? AND NO ONE ON THAT PANEL KNEW, INCLUDING THE TOWN REPRESENTATIVE.

THE CITY REPRESENTATIVE THAT ATTENDS THESE MEETINGS AT IS NOT ON THE COUNCIL.

I'M NOT GONNA SPEAK HIS NAME 'CAUSE THAT'S RUDE.

HE WAS THERE AND HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.

HE HAD TO LOOK AT THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

WHATEVER BOOK YOU GUYS HAVE THAT CLAIMS YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THE HISTORY IS.

THIS PAIRED WITH THE MISSPELLING OF MY GRANDFATHER'S NAME ON THE OFFICIAL NORTHTOWN CITY WEBSITE.

DON'T WORRY, I ALREADY HAVE A SCREENSHOTTED WHO ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, NOT JUST MY GRANDPA, BY THE WAY, POURED THEIR LIVES INTO REFORMING AND GETTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD I GREW UP IN ONTO A BETTER PATH.

TRUST ME, IT'S BEEN WORSE BEFORE YOU GUYS WERE HERE.

SHOWS ME WE AREN'T RESPECTED.

ALL THIS COMBINED WITH THE FLOCK DEAL THAT I WAS JUST MADE AWARE OF.

THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE THAT SPOKE UP ABOUT IT.

BY THE WAY, IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU ALL ARE ILL SUITED TO SIT IN THE SEATS THAT YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW.

LIKE MISS WHATEVER HER NAME IS.

I'M SORRY I'M NOT TRYING TO HURT YOU GUYS, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST SHOCKING THAT WE'VE BEEN, HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN HERE? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE COME HERE? TWO YEARS.

THAT'S A LOT OF OUR TIME TOO.

THINK ABOUT IT.

AND I DON'T REALLY WANNA COME HERE AFTER WHEN GAS IS GETTING HIGHER, PEOPLE IN GENERAL GETTING MORE IRRITATED.

YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE ALL THE GOVERNING BODIES IN AMERICA REALLY AREN'T DOING THEIR JOB.

AND IT JUST LEAVES ME WONDERING, WHERE IS THE AMERICAN DREAM ANYMORE? AND I SEE RIGHT NOW IT SAYS DRONE IS FIRST RESPONDER ON THIS, UH, ON THIS COMPUTER.

WE DON'T WANT ROBOTS OR DRONES PATROLLING THE CITY.

I CAN ALREADY SEE YOU GUYS ARE THINKING ABOUT THAT.

TRUST ME, I KNOW THAT TECH INDUSTRY, YOU'RE GONNA DO IT FOR LACK OF MANPOWER, MONEY.

TRUST ME.

IT'S GONNA COME AND BITE YOU GUYS IN, IN ALL OF US, INCLUDING FLOCK DEAL.

SO THAT'S EMBARRASSING FOR ALL OF US.

CHRIST IS KING.

JULIA MORENO, FOLLOW FOLLOWED BY ARMANDO ROMAN MORENO.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

UM, THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING MY GRANDSON TO SCHOOL AND I REMEMBER MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE, SIX MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A OLDER MAN HERE, CAUCASIAN.

AND WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT A, UH, CITY, UM, BUS STOP THAT HE WANTED YOU GUYS TO PAINT THAT PART RED AND FIX THE WALL BEHIND IT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID IT MIGHT FALL ON HIM.

'CAUSE IT WAS SOMEBODY MUST HAVE RAN THROUGH IT OR SOMETHING.

SO, UM, AND I REMEMBERED THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING BY AND I SAW THE BUS STOP AND THE FIXED WALL.

BUT I REMEMBER IT BECAUSE, 'CAUSE THAT DAY THAT HE TALKED ABOUT IT, THE NEXT DAY I WAS TAKING MY MOM TO, UM, HER APPOINTMENT AT SAN ANTONIO.

AND GUESS WHAT? THE CITY WAS ALREADY OUT THERE WORKING ON IT.

ISN'T IT AMAZING? BUT WE ASKED FOR RED PAINT ON OUR, ON OUR STREETS, JUST TWO LITTLE AREAS.

WE ACTUALLY GOT DENIED.

SO WE HAD TO BEG FOR THAT STUPID RED PAINT.

AND SOMEBODY COMES AND DOES, YOU KNOW, TALKS TO YOU GUYS ABOUT A FALLING WALL AND THIS AND THIS.

YOU GUYS FIX IT RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT? I MEAN, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO THAT THAN TO PUT LIKE LITTLE RED PAINT ON TWO SMALL AREAS.

UM, IT'S SAD THAT WE HAVE TO BEG THAT NORTH TOWN HOUSING HAS TO BEG FOR YOU GUYS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

YOU GUYS SIT THERE

[01:05:01]

ELISE DOESN'T EVEN CARE 'CAUSE SHE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK AT US.

AND WE ARE HERE STILL ASKING FOR THE SAME THING.

TWO OUT TWO YEARS LATER, TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER.

UM, I'M GONNA LOOK INTO THAT FIRST LETTER AND GET THE EXACT DATE FOR YOU GUYS IN NOVEMBER, 2023.

OH, 2023 IN NOVEMBER.

THERE YOU GO.

UM, AND I'M ASHAMED OF WHATEVER IS HAPPENING RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WALLS.

IT IS A VERY, VERY SAD THING.

YOU CAN EVEN GET TAKEN TOO.

YOU HAVE YOUR NEPAL RIGHT THERE IN THE, IN YOUR FOREHEAD.

SO IT'S LIKE YOU'RE NOT AFRAID.

I'M SURE YOU'RE TIRED OF IT.

WE'RE TIRED OF IT AS WELL.

UM, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE TO COME AND EXPLAIN OUR FRUSTRATIONS.

AS YOU COULD SEE, IT'S GETTING WORSE WITH EVERYBODY.

NOT ONLY THEIR PATRONS, AND IT'S JUST ESCALATING EVERYWHERE.

I'M, I'M SPENDING TIME HAVING TO KEEP AN EYE ON OUR PROPERTIES, MAKING SURE NOTHING HAPPENS TO 'EM.

WHICH WE PAY TAXES FOR EVERY YEAR TO OWN A HOME IN RANCHO OR ANY CITY FOR THAT MATTER.

BUT TO HAVE TO SIT OUT THERE TO PROTECT AND MAKE SURE SOMEBODY ISN'T DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL OR SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING.

OR EVEN WATCH OUR GRANDKIDS.

'CAUSE WE CAN'T EVEN LET 'EM GO OUT AND PLAY IN THE FRONT LAWN FOR THE SAKE OF THE BALL GOES OUT.

SOMEBODY MIGHT RUN 'EM OVER.

IT'S SAD.

IT'S REALLY SAD.

AND I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

JUST YESTERDAY GETTING HOME FROM WORK.

I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND IT'S, IT'S .

JOSH HAMILTON IS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS IS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.

HE ALMOST RAN INTO HIM.

HE CUT IN FRONT OF HIM.

THEY BOTH STOPPED.

AND THEN HAMILTON TOOK OFF.

AND I JUST SAW A NEIGHBOR SHAKE HIS HEAD.

AND I SAID, WHAT HAPPENED? HE GOES, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENS TO ME.

HE GOES, WHO DO I NEED TO CALL? I GO CALL THE CITY.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

IT'S, IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT WE HAVE TO, LIKE SHE SAID, HAVE TO ASK AND BEG FOR A DECENT LIVING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT'S FOR ALL OF US HERE.

EVERYBODY GETS TO GO HOME TO A NICE QUIET COMMUNITY.

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THAT AS WELL? WE PAY TAXES.

WE WORK HARD.

WE'RE TRYING TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OUR DREAM ISN'T HAPPENING BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LIVE HIS DREAM.

IT'S NOT OURS.

AND I, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN YOU GET APPROVED FOR A BUSINESS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AMPLE PARKING FOR ALL YOUR PATRONS.

IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S WAY OUT HAND.

AND LAST NIGHT WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF EXACTLY WHY HE SHOULD NOT BE THERE.

IT IS RIDICULOUS.

THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE.

THE FIGHT THAT THEY MENTIONED EARLIER, I WAS RIGHT THERE.

FOUR RANCHO PDS PULLED UP, FLEW, FLEW BY TO GO GET 'EM.

OKAY? THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE TIMES THAT I ACTUALLY WITNESSED IT.

THE GUY'S RUNNING AROUND THE STREET DANCING AROUND.

'CAUSE HE'S BRAGGING ABOUT HOW HE BEAT UP ON THE GUY.

OKAY? AND ALSO THEY CLOSED AT 10 O'CLOCK.

PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE TILL 10 30.

LAST NIGHT WE CALLED THE, UH, RANCHO PD.

SOMEBODY DIDN'T SHOW UP TILL 10 30.

THEY HAD THE LAST PERSON THAT JUST LEFT WHEN WE CALLED THE BREWERY.

THEY SAID, OH NO, THEY LEFT AT 10 0 5 BULL.

WE WERE RIGHT THERE WATCHING THEM.

THEY NEED TO GET PEOPLE OFF OF THEIR PROPERTY AT CLOSE AFTER CLOSING.

OKAY, WE HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER AND THAT IS, UM, GABRIEL, OBI, OBI JOE, ALL GUYS.

I LACKED THE FERVOR OF SOME OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS.

I'M NOT GONNA, UH, VIRTUE SIGNAL OR DISPLAY MY TDS OR NOTHING LIKE THAT.

UM, I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROPERTY, UH, ON THE CORNER, NORTHEAST CORNER OF, UH, TWANDA AND BASELINE.

THAT WAS A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SIGN THAT WAS THERE UP UNTIL THIS WEEK.

AND THEN IT GOT TAKEN DOWN, UH, EARLIER THIS WEEK.

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT, UH, PROPERTY IS.

MAYBE OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR IS IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM RIGHT THERE WITH HER HAND UP.

WE ALL ARE VERY EMPATHETIC AND WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO GO THROUGH AND YOU CAN SHAKE YOUR HEADS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I BELIEVE I KNOW HOW YOU PROBABLY FEEL.

SHE'LL TAKE YOU OUT MAYBE IN THE FORAGE.

SHE CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THE CURRENT STATUS IS.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PERIOD FOR THIS EVENING.

AND I JUST WANNA MAKE A COMMENT, GENERALLY COMMENT,

[01:10:01]

I'VE, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE WAY YOUR WHAT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS.

WE ARE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS.

WE'VE HAD MEETINGS WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH.

THERE'LL BE SOME COMMUNITY MEETINGS COMING UP WITH YOU AND, AND YOU FOLKS ON WHAT, WHAT KINDS OF THINGS WE CAN DO.

UM, BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW.

BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT AND I, AND I HAVE GREAT FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY HEARD YOU THIS EVENING.

SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ONCE AGAIN.

UNFORTUNATELY, I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME ALSO.

SO THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PORTION OF THIS EVENING.

AGENDA WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

CALENDARS.

CONTENT CALENDARS ARE ESPECIALLY TO BE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THEY'LL BE ACTED UPON A ONE TIME WITHOUT CONVERSATION UNLESS ANY COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE AN ITEM FOUR DISCUSSION.

[CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORT(S)]

[H1. Consideration to Approve Implementation of the Drone as a First Responder Program and Purchase of BRINC Unmanned Aircraft System and Supporting Equipment Utilizing a Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement Awarded to BRINC Drones, Inc. in the Amount of $1,439,986. (CITY)]

TO APPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DRONE AS A FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM AND PURCHASE OF BRINK UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT UTILIZING A SOURCE WELL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AWARDED TO BRINK DRONES, INCORPORATED IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,439,986.

I'LL TURN THAT OVER TO OUR MADAM CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

THIS EVENING'S STAFF PRESENTATION WILL BE PROVIDED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE RANCH CUCAMONGA POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO LIEUTENANT, UH, HURTADO AND SERGEANT HAYNES, WHO WILL PRESENT THE STAFF REPORT AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS PROJECT.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS BRETT HAYNES.

I'M A SERGEANT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND JOINING ME IS LIEUTENANT MAURICIO HERTADO.

WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT A PROGRAM, UH, CENTERED ON IMPROVING PUBLIC SAFETY AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

THE PROGRAM IS CALLED DRONE.

AS A FIRST RESPONDER, IT ALLOWS US TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES FASTER, GATHER CRITICAL INFORMATION SOONER, AND MAKE BETTER DECISIONS IN REAL TIME.

AT ITS CORE, THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT REDUCING RISK, SAVING TIME, AND ACHIEVING SAFER OUTCOMES FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND VICTIMS AND OUR DEPUTIES THAT ARE ON THE STREET.

CURRENTLY, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OPERATES HELICOPTERS OUT OF THE SAN BERNARDINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

THESE HELICOPTERS PROVIDE VALUABLE AERIAL SUPPORT ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

THEY GIVE DEPUTIES REAL-TIME INFORMATION, HELP TRACK SUSPECTS, AND IMPROVE COORDINATION DURING CRITICAL INCIDENTS.

EACH HELICOPTER IS STAFFED BY A TRAINED OBSERVER WHO PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN KEEPING DEPUTIES SAFE ON THE GROUND.

THIS LEVEL OF SUPPORT IS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE, BUT IT'S ALSO LIMITED.

I, IN REALITY, THERE, THERE'S OFTEN ONLY ONE PATROL HELICOPTER COVERING A VERY LARGE AREA OF OUR COUNTY.

THAT MEANS IT IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHEN RANCH CUCAMONGA NEEDS IT.

EVEN WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE, RESPONSE TIMES CAN BE DELAYED.

HELICOPTER LAUNCHING FROM SAN BERNARDINO, UH, AIRPORT CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO ARRIVE IN RANCH CUCAMONGA.

DURING THOSE 20 MINUTES, DEPUTIES MAY BE RESPONDING TO HIGH RISK SITUATIONS WITH LIMITED INFORMATION, AND THAT DELAY INCREASES UNCERTAINTY, INCREASES RISK, AND CAN IMPACT, UH, OUTCOMES.

TIME MATTERS IN EMERGENCIES.

AND RIGHT NOW, A HELICOPTER MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS WE NEED IT.

SOME SURROUNDING AGENCIES USE DRONES, BUT ONLY IN LIMITED WAYS.

OFFICERS WOULD CARRY A DRONE IN THEIR PATROL CAR AND LAUNCH IT AND LAUNCH IT ONCE THEY ARRIVE AT A CALL FOR SERVICE.

WHILE THIS IS HELPFUL, IT, THIS APPROACH HAS CLEAR DRAWBACKS.

THE OFFICER BECOMES FOCUSED ON FLYING THE DRONE INSTEAD OF ACTIVELY HELPING THEIR PARTNERS OR MANAGING THE SCENE.

THE DRONE'S USE IN THE SENSE, IS ALSO LIMITED BY LINE OF SIGHT RULES, WHICH RESTRICTS ITS RANGE.

AND THE VIDEO FEED OF THE INCIDENT IS NOT EASILY SHARED, WHICH LIMITS HOW USEFUL THAT INFORMATION IS TO OTHER RESPONDING, UH, PATROL DEPUTIES.

IN SHORT, THE TRADITIONAL MODEL A ADDS A TOOL, BUT IT DOES NOT FULLY SOLVE A PROBLEM.

THAT'S WHY DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE MOVING TOWARD A NEW MODEL DRONE.

AS A FIRST RESPONDER, THIS APPROACH ALLOWS DRONES TO BE LAUNCHED IMMEDIATELY, FLOWN REMOTELY, AND ARRIVE ON SCENE BEFORE DEPUTIES.

INSTEAD

[01:15:01]

OF REACTING, AFTER DEPUTIES ARRIVE, WE CAN NOW GATHER INFORMATION, UH, BEFORE THEY GET THERE, WHICH CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW WE RESPOND.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED SIX LAUNCH SITES ACROSS RANCHO CUCAMONGA TO ENSURE FULL COVERAGE OF THE CITY FROM THESE LOCATIONS.

DRONES CAN BE DEPLOYED QUICKLY AND OPERATE REMOTELY FROM THE POLICE STATION BY TRAINED DEPUTY SHERIFFS.

THIS CREATES A SYSTEM THAT IS EFFICIENT, CONSISTENT, AND READY TO RESPOND WITHIN SECONDS, IF NOT MINUTES.

SO HERE'S HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

WHEN A NINE ONE ONE CALL IS RECEIVED, DISPATCH BEGINS ENTERING A CALL FOR SERVICE.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE DRONE OPERATOR CAN VIEW THAT CALL IN REAL TIME FROM THE LOCATION AT OUR POLICE STATION.

NORMALLY, IT TAKES ABOUT TWO MINUTES FOR A CALL FOR SERVICE TO BE ENTERED AND DISPATCHED TO A DEPUTY WHO IS IN A PATROL VEHICLE AND EMERGENCY IN AN AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

THOSE MINUTES MATTER.

WITH THIS PROGRAM, WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT.

THE DRONE OPERATOR CAN ASSESS THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, LAUNCH A DRONE FROM ANY OF THE SIX LOCATIONS IN OUR CITY, AND WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS, IN MANY CASES, THE DRONE WILL ARRIVE BEFORE DEPUTIES.

THE DRONE OPERATOR WILL BE ABLE TO ASSESS THE INCIDENT AND PROVIDE REAL-TIME INFORMATION TO DEPUTIES WHO ARE RESPONDING TO THE EMERGENCY.

THAT MEANS WE'RE NO LONGER SENDING DEPUTIES INTO UNKNOWN SITUATIONS.

THIS DIRECTLY IMPROVES OFFICERS SAFETY AND REDUCES THE CHANCE OF UNNECESSARY ESCALATION, LEADING TO SAFER OUTCOMES, UH, WITH INTERACTIONS WITH THEIR CITIZENS.

THESE DRONES ARE LAUNCHED FROM SECURE, UH, STATIONS PLACED ON ROOFTOPS AT CITY FACILITIES SUCH AS FIRE STATIONS OR PUBLIC WORKS BUILDINGS.

THIS ALLOWS FOR RAPID DEPLOYMENT AND RELIABLE COVERAGE THROUGHOUT OUR CITY.

THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE READY AT ALL TIMES, ENSURING THAT WHEN A CALL COMES IN, WE CAN RESPOND WITH THE DRONE IMMEDIATELY.

THE BRINK DRONES ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE AND EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL SAFETY FEATURES.

THEY HAVE BRIGHT LIGHTING THAT CAN DISPLAY RED AND BLUE EMERGENCY LIGHTS LIKE OUR, UH, POLICE VEHICLES.

THEY ALSO INCLUDE A PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM, THE ABILITY FOR TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND THE DRONE OPERATOR AND A POLICE SIREN.

THE DRONES CAN ALSO CARRY SMALL PAYLOADS THAT CAN BE DROPPED OUTTA SCENE BEFORE A DEPUTY ARRIVES, UH, WHICH, UH, MAY BE USEFUL IN MEDICAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.

THE PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM ALLOWS US TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH THE PUBLIC, WHETHER IT'S GIVING INSTRUCTIONS, LOCATING MISSING PERSONS, OR HELPING MANAGE A SCENE BEFORE DEPUTIES ARRIVE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM IS REAL-TIME INFORMATION.

WHEN DEPUTIES KNOW WHAT THEY'RE WALKING INTO, THEY CAN RESPOND MORE APPROPRIATELY, MORE CONFIDENTLY AND SAFELY.

THIS REDUCES UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE, LOWERS THE RISK OF INJURY, AND LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

SO IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO, A STORE CLERK REPORTED THREE INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE, UH, ONE AND ONE APPEARED TO HAVE A FIREARM.

THE CLERK WAS CONCERNED THAT HE WAS GONNA BE ROBBED AT GUNPOINT.

THE DRONE RESPONDENT ARRIVED BEFORE DEPUTIES.

THE OPERATOR DETERMINED THAT THE OBJECT WAS NOT A FIREARM, BUT A LIGHTER SHAPE LIKE A GUN.

AFTER IT WAS OBSERVED, ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WAS LIGHTING A CIGARETTE.

BASED ON THAT REALTIME INFORMATION FROM THE DRONE OPERATOR, DEPUTIES ADJUSTED THEIR RESPONSE OF WANTING, TREATING THE SITUATION AS A HIGH RISK ARMED ENCOUNTER, RESULTING IN SAFER OUTCOME FOR BOTH THE DEPUTIES AND THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED.

SURPRISING OR NOT, WE DO RESPOND TO CALLS SUCH AS THESE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

THE CHULA VISTA POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THIS PROGRAM SINCE AROUND 2010.

THEIR DATA SHOWS THAT THEIR DRONES RESPONDED TO APPROXIMATELY 18,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE.

AND DURING THEIR STUDY, ABOUT 25% OF THOSE CALLS, ROUGHLY 4,200 CALLS.

THE DRONE HANDLED THE SITUATION WITHOUT NEEDING TO SEND AN OFFICER.

THAT MEANS THAT MEANS OFFICERS REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR MORE SERIOUS EMERGENCIES, IMPROVING OVERALL RESPONSE TIMES TO PRIORITY CALLS FOR SERVICE ACROSS THE CITY.

CHULA VISTA ALSO SAW A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN RESPONSE TIMES.

DRONES ARRIVED ON SCENE FOR PRIORITY CALLS ABOUT 90 SECONDS COMPARED TO NEARLY SEVEN MINUTES.

FOR OFFICERS, THAT FASTER RESPONSE PROVIDES EARLIER INFORMATION THAT IS GIVEN TO RESPONDING DEPUTIES, WHICH LEADS TO BETTER DECISIONS.

THE SOONER WE UNDERSTAND A SITUATION, THE BETTER WE CAN MANAGE IT.

THIS PROGRAM ALSO EXPANDS BEYOND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

DRONES CAN SUPPORT FIRE AND MEDICAL CALLS BY DELIVERING LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT SUCH AS NARCAN WATER OR TOURNIQUETS IF THE DEVICES ARE CARRIED AS A PAYLOAD OPTION ON THE DRONE.

IMAGINE MEDICAL

[01:20:01]

EMERGENCY OCCURRED IN THE WAN PRESERVE AREA.

AN INDIVIDUAL SUFFERED A TRAUMATIC INJURY WHILE OUT ON THE TRAIL.

IF A DRONE WERE AVAILABLE, NOT ONLY COULD THE INJURED PERSON BE LOCATED QUICKLY AND GUIDE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO THE AREA, BUT IT COULD ALSO DROP A LIFESAVING TOURNIQUET OR OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO OTHERS.

ASSISTING THE INDIVIDUAL IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT MINUTES CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

DRONES ALSO HELP US STAY EFFECTIVE DURING LOWER PRIORITY CALLS.

IN ONE EXAMPLE, A DRONE LOCATED JUVENILES TAGGING PROPERTY.

WHILE OTHER OFFICERS WERE HANDLING HIGHER PRIORITY EMERGENCIES ACROSS THE CITY, THE DRONE MAINTAINED OBSERVATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS UNTIL OFFICERS COULD RESPOND, ENSURING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THOSE WHO WERE TAGGING.

WITHOUT THE DRONE, THOSE INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LOCATED AND THE CRIME MAY HAVE GONE UNADDRESSED.

THE DRONE RECORDED CRUCIAL EVIDENCE OF A CRIME THAT WAS COMMITTED WHEN AN OFFICER WAS NOT THERE TO OBSERVE IT THEMSELVES.

WITH ANY NEW EMERGENCY EMERGING TECHNOLOGY, WE RECOGNIZE THAT PRIVACY IS A CONCERN.

THIS PROGRAM'S DESIGNED WITH CLEAR SAFEGUARDS AND DRONES ARE DEPLOYED ONLY FOR CALLS FOR SERVICE OR AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEPUTIES IN THE FIELDS.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS SPECIFIC POLICY GOVERNING THE USE OF DRONES AND THE RETENTION OF FLIGHT RECORDINGS.

THEY'RE NOT USED FOR GENERALIZED SURVEILLANCE OR ROUTINE PATROLS.

THEY'RE USED AS A TOOL TO RESPOND TO SPECIFIC INCIDENTS AND IMPROVE SAFETY.

TRANSPARENCY IS A KEY PART OF THIS PROGRAM.

EVERY FLIGHT IS DOCUMENTED AND ADDED TO A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD.

THIS INCLUDES FLIGHT DATA RESPONSE TIMES AND OUTCOMES OF THE CALL FOR SERVICE.

THE DASHBOARD WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

THIS ENSURES THE PROGRAMMER REMAINS ACCOUNTABLE AND BUILDS TRUST WITH THE COMMUNITY.

EACH DRONE FLIGHT IS RECORDED, SPECIFICALLY ITS SLIGHT PATH AND A TYPE OF CALL A RESPONDED TO THIS INFORMATION IS RETAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEPARTMENT POLICY AND IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW ON THE DASHBOARD.

LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY ENSURES THAT THE PROGRAM OPERATES RESPONSIBILITY, RESPONSIBLE AND MAINTAINS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.

UH, IN CLOSING, THIS PROGRAM IS NOT ABOUT MAKING OUR CITY SAFER.

IT ALLOWS US TO RESPOND TO, UH, SITUATIONS FASTER, GATHER BETTER INFORMATION, AND MAKE SMARTER DECISIONS IN REAL TIME.

REDUCES RISK FOR DEPUTIES, IMPROVES OUTCOMES FOR THE PUBLIC, AND HELPS US USE OUR RESOURCES MORE EFFECTIVELY.

IT'S SAFER WAY TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THE PRESENTERS OR COMMENTS? JUST MAYBE A COMMENT QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

APPRECIATE THAT.

I KNOW IT'S GREAT TO LOOK AT OTHER WAYS TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE, BUT JUST MAKING SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, THIS PROGRAM IS GONNA, WILL AUGMENT, NOT REPLACE TRADITIONAL PATROL RESPONSE? THAT IS CORRECT.

AND THEN ALSO, AGAIN, AS YOU SAID, PRIVACY AND TRANSPARENCY IS GONNA BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRIVACY LAWS AND DEPARTMENT POLICY, I'M ASSUMING THAT TYPE OF THING.

ANYONE ELSE? QUICK QUESTION.

YOU'VE GOT SIX DRONES THAT, THAT, THAT WE'RE GONNA BUY AND I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS PAYING IT OFF PAY, PAYING THEM 1.4 MILLION, CORRECT OFF OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD.

SIX DRONES, AND THERE'S AN INCIDENT IN ONE CORNER OF THE CITY AND THEN ANOTHER INCIDENT CLOSE, CLOSE TO THAT ONE ELSEWHERE.

IS THERE ENOUGH STAFF THERE THAT CAN, CAN ONE STAFF PERSON DEAL WITH TWO DRONES OR THEY CAN ONLY DO ONE DRONE AT A TIME? AS OF RIGHT NOW, FAA GUIDELINES SAYS WE CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DRONE DRONE OPERATOR, POOR DRONE THAT IS UP IN THE AIR.

SO OUR STAFFING WILL INCLUDE A COUPLE OF DAYS WHERE TWO DEPUTIES ARE AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THE DRONES.

VERY GOOD.

UM, I GUESS MY COMMENT IS, I I I THINK I'M THINKING BACK TO A SHOOTING THAT I DON'T WANT TO EVEN GET INTO THE DETAILS, BUT YES, A DRONE, IN MANY, MANY CASES WHERE THERE'S SOME VOLATILITY, DOMESTIC DOMESTIC ARGUMENTS OR WHATEVER IT IS, IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

A DRONE CAN HELP IF IT'S OUTSIDE OR AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN IDEA BEFORE YOU EVEN ARRIVE OF WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF SURROUNDING THAT LOCATION ARE.

ABSOLUTELY, YES.

IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US LIVE VIDEO TO THOSE RESPONDING SUPERVISORS AND OBVIOUSLY THE DRONE OPERATOR THAT CAN COMMUNICATE THAT OVER THE RADIO.

AND I, I PERSONALLY, FOR ME, I THINK IT'S A, A BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC SAFETY TOOL AS A FORCE MULTIPLIER TO GIVE OUR, OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PERSONNEL LOST PERSON THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, SOME SOMEBODY CHILD WANDERS OFF AND GETS LOST.

UH, SOMEBODY WITH SOME COGNITIVE ISSUES AND, AND THAT WE RESPOND TO OFTEN WITH OUR BLOODHOUNDS.

UM, THE DRONE CAN BE VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE FOR THAT ALSO.

UM, HOW MANY, HOW MANY DRONES DOES THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OPERATE NOW? CURRENTLY ARE, UH, CURRENTLY ONLY OUR SPECIALIZED DIVISIONS OPERATE DRONES.

SO,

[01:25:01]

OKAY, VERY GOOD.

SO WE'RE THE FIRST CITY THAT YOU, YOU REPRESENT.

THERE'S, UH, VICTORVILLE IS ALSO, UH, CONSIDERING IT ABOUT READY TO STAND UP THEIR PROGRAM AS WELL.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT.

I THINK THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL AND, UM, AND IT TRULY, I THINK PROBABLY THE GREATEST THING THAT FOR ME IS OFFICER SAFETY AND, AND CERTAINLY THIS WILL BE ANOTHER TOOL THAT WILL IMPROVE THAT FOR SURE.

AND FILE THE GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON AND THE HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR 2025 ALYSSA.

SO I GUESS AT THIS POINT THEN, UM, I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION AND I'LL READ THIS SO IT GETS, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL JUST PUT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

ALYSSA, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DRONE, UM, FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM.

SO, MOVED.

SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON AND MAY OF THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTS.

KENNEDY, ABSENT.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS CONSIDERATION TO RECEIVE

[H2. Consideration to Receive and File the General Plan Annual Progress Report and the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2025. (CITY)]

THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, THE GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT AND THE HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT, AS YOU KNOW, SUMMARIZES OUR THE CITY'S PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND THE HOUSING RELATED PROGRAMS OVER THE PAST YEAR.

THIS EVENING'S PRESENTATION WILL PROVIDE BE PROVIDED BY ARA ESTRADA, OUR MANAGEMENT ANALYST, TWO IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

UH, THIS EVENING.

I AM HERE TO PRESENT YOU THE GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025.

STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT ALL CITIES AND COUNTIES PREPARE A GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT KNOWN AS AN A PR.

THE GENERAL PLAN A PR IS A WRITTEN DOCUMENT THAT SUMMARIZES THE GOALS AND MEASURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN.

THE HOUSING ELEMENT, A PR IS A REPORT THAT DETAILS THE CITY'S PROGRESS TOWARDS ITS HOUSING GOALS.

ALTHOUGH THE A PR SOUNDS SIMILAR, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS AND BOTH MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE STATE BY APRIL 1ST OF EACH YEAR.

THERE WERE SEVERAL ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS THAT WERE WORKED ON IN 2025.

A FEW HIGHLIGHTED IN THE GENERAL PLAN.

A PR INCLUDE THE SIXTH STREET CYCLE TRACK BETWEEN HAVEN AND ROCHESTER, WHICH WAS COMPLETED IN MAY.

CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE TWO OF THE ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BEGAN IN 2025.

A TMS IS A CITY'S INTEGRATED SMART TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM DESIGNATED TO HELP REDUCE ROADWAY CONGESTION.

SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE ON WEST FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND CONSTRUCTION WAS UNDERWAY FOR PHASE ONE OF THE HERITAGE PARK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT.

THE HOUSING ELEMENT A PR INCLUDES, INCLUDES DETAILS ON THE CITY'S HOUSING PROGRESS IN 2025.

THE GENERAL PLAN A PR INCLUDES A SUMMARY OF THE DATA THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT.

A PR.

THE PLANNING FOR HOUSING GROWTH IS MANDATED BY STATE LAW THROUGH THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, ALSO KNOWN AS RENA.

THROUGH THIS PROCESS, CITIES ARE ALLOCATED A NUMERIC HOUSING GOAL BY INCOME CATEGORIES FOR THE CURRENT EIGHT YEAR PLANNING PERIOD, WHICH RUNS FROM 2021 THROUGH 2029.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA WAS ALLOCATED 10,525 UNITS, OR ABOUT 1,316 UNITS PER YEAR.

IN 2025, THE CITY APPROVED OR ENTITLED 272 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, 600, EXCUSE ME, 611 UNITS WERE PERMITTED, OR, UH, BUILDING PERMITS WERE ISSUED.

AND 380 UNITS WERE COMPLETED OR CONSTRUCTED.

RESIDENTS CONTINUED TO SHOW A STRONG INTEREST IN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS KNOWN AS ADUS.

IN 2025, WE SAW THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF A PERMITTED AND COMPLETED COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS.

WE ALSO SAW A TREND IN THE NUMBER OF ADUS COMPLETED, UH, CONTINUOUSLY TRYING, OR EXCUSE ME, UM, CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING YEAR OVER YEAR.

HCD USES THE NUMBER OF PERMITS, ISSUES, EXCUSE ME, ISSUED AS THEIR KEY BENCHMARK FOR TRACKING ARENA

[01:30:01]

PROGRESS.

THIS CHART DEPICTS THE ARENA ALLOCATIONS SEPARATED BY INCOME CATEGORIES AND THE PROGRESS THE CITY HAS MADE EACH YEAR IN THE CURRENT CYCLE.

THIS CHART ILLUSTRATES THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE OVERALL, INCLUDING UNITS ENTITLED, PERMITTED, AND COMPLETED IN 2025 COMPARED TO THE RENA GOAL.

BASED ON THIS BENCHMARK, WE ARE BELOW THE TARGET.

HOWEVER, GIVEN THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF HOW MANY BUILDING PERMITS ARE REQUESTED IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, THE CITY CONSIDERS THIS PROGRESS AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH APPLICANTS AND DEVELOPERS TO CONTINUE MOVING THE NEEDLE FORWARD.

THE GENERAL PLAN, A PR HIGHLIGHTED SOME RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS THAT WERE APPROVED IN 2025 INCLUDED THE AVIAN, EXCUSE ME, AVION RESERVE, MIXED USE PROJECT, AND THE TRAIL AT TWANDA.

A FEW PROJECTS THAT WERE UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR WERE COMPLETED LAST YEAR INCLUDE HAVEN AND AERO.

ALTA MARITA AND ALEX AT VICTORIA GARDENS.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVE AND FILE THE APRS, AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE REPORT AND DIRECT STAFF TO FORWARD THE REPORTS TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF LAND USE AND CLIMATE INNOVATION.

AFTER TODAY.

UH, NEXT STEPS INCLUDE PRESENTING THE A PR TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON MARCH 25TH, AND BY APRIL 1ST OR EARLIER SUBMITTING THE A PR TO THE STATE, AS WELL AS SHARING THE GENERAL A PR GENERAL PLAN A PR WITH THE COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA STREAMS. AND THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

VERY GOOD.

ANY QUESTIONS? ONE QUICK ONE.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE CHART THAT SHOWED THE, UM, UM, PERMITTED AFFORDABILITY, THE, THE ONE THAT HAD THE DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE WE ONLY HAD YEAH, SO OH, SORRY, BUT THAT NO, THE OTHER ONE.

THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

SO IF I READ THAT CORRECTLY, FOR 2025, WE HAD 380 UNITS THAT WERE COMPLETED, CORRECT? CORRECT.

BUT THEN I, AND THEN I LOOK AT THE, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHEN I LOOK AT, AT THAT AND I SEE HOW MANY UNITS THEY'RE WANTING OF THAT, OF THAT AMOUNT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE WAY BEHIND, BUT IT'S NOT OUR FAULT, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES.

AND SO MY QUESTION IS, MAYBE YOU KNOW THIS ANSWER OR MAYBE YOU DON'T, BUT I WOULD, UH, MY QUESTION WOULD BE THAT'S A RESULT OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH UNITS BEING SUBMITTED FOR US TO BE ABLE TO APPROVE, TO GET A BIG, LARGER NUMBER.

IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE NOT THERE, IT'S NOT, WE'RE NOT HOLDING UP HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.

SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RENA, THE STATE AGENCIES, TH THIS IS HOW MANY HOMES YOU NEED TO BUILD UNTIL TO MEET YOUR ARENA NEEDS BY THE END OF, OF THAT TIME PERIOD, THAT EIGHT YEAR TIME PERIOD.

MM-HMM .

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE, IF WE'RE WAY BELOW WHAT THEY'VE ASKED US TO DO, THERE'S NO RECOURSE OR ANYTHING, IS THERE YOU WANNA, YOU WANNA JUMP IN OR YOU WANT ME TO ? GO AHEAD.

YOU CAN START .

SO, UM, THE STATE IS DOING A FOUR YEAR REVIEW OF ALL OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT, UH, ELEMENTS TO KIND OF DETERMINE WHETHER THESE CITIES ARE ON TRACK OR ARE MEETING THEIR NO, THEIR NEEDS.

UM, WE, UH, HAVE NOT RECEIVED OURS AS OF YET, BUT WE ARE EXPECTING THAT SOON.

AND, UM, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THEY COULD DETERMINE THAT WE ARE NOT MEETING THE NEEDS AND THERE ARE SOME PENALTIES INVOLVED, BUT BECAUSE THEY BASE IT ON PERMITS ISSUED, IF YOU LOOK AT IT OVER THE COURSE OF WHAT WE'VE ENTITLED, RIGHT, WE'VE DONE A SIGNIFICANT JOB OF ENTITLING PROJECTS.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THERE'S SOME FISCAL CONSTRAINTS THAT ARE KEEPING PROJECTS FROM MOVING FORWARD.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WE'VE APPROVED, PARTICULARLY ALONG FOOTHILL BOULEVARD IN OUR MIXED USE AREAS, UM, THAT WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY AS INTEREST RATES WENT UP THAT REALLY PUT A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS ON ICE.

AND SO, UM, DEVELOPERS ARE PIVOTING, THEY'RE BUILDING MORE SINGLE FAMILY, YOU'RE SEEING MORE SINGLE FAMILY PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH OR TRYING TO, UM, RE READJUST THOSE PROJECTS AND MAYBE LOWER DENSITIES OR DO DIFFERENT PRODUCT TYPES THAT MIGHT BE, UM, FISCALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT PENCIL OUT AND MIGHT WORK UNDER THE CURRENT FINANCING CONSTRAINTS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRAINTS THAT REALLY ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL AT THIS TIME.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

THAT SAYS, FOR CITIES THAT AREN'T MEETING ALL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER, UH, UNDER THE ARENA, AND THAT'S VIRTUALLY EVERY CITY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

AND, AND THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY FISCAL OR FINANCIAL PENALTIES IF THE CITY DOESN'T MEET ITS ARENA.

THE CITY IS DOING EVERYTHING IT'S OBLIGATED TO DO HOUSING LAW.

THERE IS ONE BILL, SB 35 THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2017

UM, THERE'S A MINISTERIAL APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS WITHIN THE STATE.

ALTHOUGH I'M NOT AWARE THAT THAT'S BEEN USED VERY OFTEN AND WE CERTAINLY HAVEN'T SEEN AN APPLICATION FOR ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS, EVEN THOUGH THE CITY IS IN THE POSITION OF HAVING TO APPROVE ONE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT.

GREAT REPORT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO WE WILL TAKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU STATED EARLIER, WHICH WAS PERFECTLY DONE.

UH, SO WE'LL, UM, ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

SO MOVE SECOND TO RECEIVE AND FILE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON AND MAYOR BROAD KENNEDY.

ABSENT.

APPROVING MAJOR EYE CONTINUATION EXPENDITURE PLAN DEVELOPED BY THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.

OUR LAST PRESENT, UH, CITY MANAGEMENT STAFF REPORT IS A CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION

[H3. Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Measure I Continuation Expenditure Plan Developed by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (RESOLUTION NO. 2026-013) (CITY)]

AND THAT'S CODIFIED IN RESOLUTION NUMBER 2026 DASH 0 1 3.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

THIS EVENING'S PRESENTATION WILL BE CO-PRESENTED, UM, PARTLY IN BY OUR STAFF, CHRIS SORENSON, OUR SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER, UM, AND ALSO FROM TIM WATKINS, WHO IS HERE FROM S-B-C-T-A.

VERY GOOD, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MICHAEL, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION.

UH, AGAIN, BESIDE ME IS TIM WATKINS WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.

UH, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON MEASURE I'S PROPOSED RENEWAL EXPENDITURE PLAN, WHICH WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER 20, 26 BALLOT.

AND TIM, WILL YOU PLEASE START US OFF BY PROVIDING AN INTRODUCTION ABOUT MEASURE I.

YOU GOT IT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

UM, HERE WE WANTED TO QUICKLY ILLUSTRATE A LIST OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED WITHIN THE CITY THAT WERE FUNDED BY MEASURE EYE.

UM, LITTLE QUICK MODIFICATION TO THAT INTRODUCTION.

UM, WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH A PROCESS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT S-B-C-T-A, UH, THAT THE MAYOR SITS ON, AS WELL AS TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS WILL ACTUALLY GET ON A 2026 BALLOT OR NOT.

UM, SO WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THAT AT THAT STAGE YET.

UM, GIVE A LITTLE BACK BACKGROUND, UH, ON THE HISTORY OF THE MEASURE.

THE MEASURE WAS ORIGINALLY PASSED BY THE VOTERS IN 1989 AS A 20 YEAR MEASURE FROM 1990 TO 2010.

IN 2004, UH, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT S-B-C-T-A WENT THROUGH A PROCESS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH NOW, UH, TO EXTEND THE MEASURE.

AND THAT, UM, WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS BY OVERWHELMINGLY BY OVER 80% OF THE ELECTORATE, UH, CHOOSING TO EXTEND THE MEASURE.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE FORM OF, UH, THE PRODUCT OR THE SUCCESS ASSOCIATED WITH ME WITH THE MEASURE AND WHAT IT'S DONE FOR THIS COUNTY.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT THIS COUNTY WOULD LOOK LIKE IF MEASURE I WAS NOT PART OF THE EQUATION.

IT IS A CRITICAL FUNDING STREAM, A HALF CENT, UH, SALES TAX, UM, THAT PUTS LOCAL DOLLARS TO WORK LOCALLY AS OPPOSED TO GOING UP TO SACRAMENTO, GETTING DILUTED DOWN, AND MAYBE NOT EVEN FINDING ITS WAY BACK, UH, TO THE AREA.

SO IT'S AN IMPORTANT RESOURCE.

IT ALSO LEVERAGES OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES BY PROVIDING MATCHING FUNDS SHOWING THAT THIS COUNTY HAS SKIN IN THE GAME AS IT RELATES TO DEVELOPING, UH, TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS HERE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH NOW, AS CHRIS WILL ALLUDE TO, IS SEEKING YOUR SUPPORT FOR WHAT OUR BOARD IS DEVELOPING IN, IN THE FORM OF A, OF AN EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD FOR HOW WE ADDRESS ANY FUTURE SALES TAX MEASURES RELATED TO THIS COUNTY CURRENTLY.

ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THAT IS HOW THE CURRENT DISTRIBUTION PLAN OR STRATEGY APPLIES TO THE CURRENT MEASURE, THE ONE THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2004 AND EXTENDED THIS MEASURE FROM 2010.

THE VERY PRESCRIPTIVE MEASURE PROJECTS ARE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED POTS OF MONEY, IF YOU AS A, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, ARE VERY STRICTLY AND RESTRICTIVELY IDENTIFIED AND VERY SPECIFICALLY, UM, CONTROLLED WITHIN THAT PLATFORM.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS A PROPOSED EXPENDITURE DISTRIBUTION FOR REVENUES IN THE FUTURE MEASURE.

WHAT WHAT'S BEING CONSIDERED, RATHER THAN A A SUNSETTED MEASURE WOULD BE A MEASURE THAT'S, THAT CONTINUES UNTIL, UM, DISCONTINUED BY THE VOTERS OF

[01:40:01]

THIS COUNTY.

SO THERE'S POSSIBILITIES THAT THERE COULD BE NEEDS WAY OUT IN THE FUTURE THAT IT'S HARD TO EXPECT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THIS TIME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CRYSTAL BALL ON HOW TO, WHAT WOULD THE NEEDS BE AND WHAT WOULD THE SOLUTIONS BE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY CHANGES THAT ARE TAKING OUT.

WE JUST SAW A PRESENTATION ON DRONES.

UM, HARD TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE 10 YEARS AGO.

AND HERE WE ARE NOW AS AN ENFORCEMENT TOOL AND A SAFETY TOOL FOR THE CITY.

SO IT'S THAT KINDS OF THINGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD, TRYING TO GIVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM EACH OF THE 24 CITIES AND THE FIVE COUNTY SUPERVISORS, THE FLEXIBILITY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE AT THE TIME THAT THEY'RE SERVING THEM IN, IN THAT, IN THAT FUTURE CONDITION.

SO THAT'S WHY WE SEE SOME STRUCTURE THIS WAY.

THE LOCAL MOBILITY, REGIONAL MOBILITY OPERATIONS, THEY'RE ALL CAPTURED IN THE CURRENT EXPENDITURE PLAN, BUT IT'S IN A MORE RESTRICTIVE SENSE.

THIS GIVES MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE BOARD TO MAKE THIS, UM, THOSE, THAT DISCRETION GOING FORWARD.

IT'S STRUCTURED VERY DIFFERENTLY 'CAUSE THEY HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS UP IN THOSE REGIONS.

VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE URBANIZED SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY PORTION OF THE COUNTY.

SO WHILE THE CHARTS LOOK DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS CHARTS, YOU SEE THEY'RE VERY SIMILARLY STRUCTURED TO EACH OTHER, WHICH SHOWS THAT THERE'S A CONSISTENCY IN WHAT'S EXPECTED.

THERE ARE SOME KEY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD, UM, OR THAT THE BOARD IS ADVANCING RIGHT NOW.

UM, SOME OF THEM INCLUDE SOME MOD MODEST CHANGES.

UM, THE FIRST BULLET THERE TALKS ABOUT THE CREATION OF AN INTERREGIONAL MOBILITY EXPENDITURE PLANT.

RIGHT NOW THERE IS A CARVE OUT FOR THE COONE PASS AREA THAT IS CONTRIBUTED ABOUT 3% OF THE MEASURE THAT'S CONTRIBUTED FROM THE VICTOR VALLEY AS WELL AS THE SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY TO MAKE UP THAT CARVE OUT.

HOWEVER, A LOT OF THOSE CHANGES HAVE KIND OF ALMOST BEEN BUILT OUT, EVEN THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SOME FUTURE THINGS STILL TO COME.

IT WAS OTHER AREAS WITHIN OUR COUNTY THAT LOOKED AT.

WE ARE, WE ARE THE SUBJECT TO THINGS THAT WE DON'T GET TO CONTROL, BUT WE DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY THE, THE, THE RETURN TO SOURCE STRENGTH TO ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES.

SO THERE'S LOOKING TO A CHANGE FOR THAT.

UH, MOVING THE CAJON PASS EXPENDITURE PLAN INTO THIS INTER-REGIONAL MOBILITY PLAN, TRYING TO FIND WAYS.

THERE'S AN INDEPENDENT TAXPAYER OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEASURE.

AND IT IS, UM, FOR TRANSPARENCY, LOOK AT THESE THINGS.

GIVE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE BOARD TO CAN TO KEEP THAT, UH, COMMITTEE FILLED.

RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY RESTRICTIVE AND THERE'S, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE LIST, THERE'S MANY OTHER, UH, MODEST CHANGES TO THE EXPENDITURE PLAN.

THINGS THAT ARE MAINTAINING IN PLACE THAT I TALK, THE GROUP THAT I MENTIONED, ONLY 1% OF THE MEASURE CAN BE USED FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECT OF THIS, OF THIS, UH, MEASURE.

UH, MEASURE FUNDS ARE REGIONALLY ALLOCATED BASED ON A RETURN TO SOURCE MODEL.

AND, AND SO DOLLARS RETURN BACK TO THE JURISDICTIONS, UH, BASED ON THEIR, UH, ABILITY TO RAISE THOSE DOLLARS THROUGH, THROUGH COMMERCE WITHIN YOUR JURISDICTION.

THIS IS THE PATH THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY ON.

THIS KIND OF TELLS WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

WE STARTED WITH DOING SOME OUTREACH RELATED TO THIS.

IN FACT, I THINK ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES CAME HERE RECENTLY AND SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF THE SUCCESSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEASURE, UH, SO FAR.

UM, WITH THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED AN AD HOC GROUP WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT S-P-C-T-A, UM, TO START LOOKING AT THE EXPENDITURE PLAN.

THE ONE THAT I JUST KIND OF BRIEFLY WALKED THROUGH JUST A MINUTE AGO.

WE'RE DOING SOME POLLING TO TRY TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT, UM, LANDS WELL WITH THE FOLKS TODAY AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES, AND ARE WE MEETING THOSE NEEDS AND WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO MEET THOSE NEEDS IN THE FUTURE.

UM, THE AD HOC REVIEWED THAT POLLING DATA.

UM, THEY DEVELOPED A DRAFT ORDINANCE AND EXPENDITURE PLAN.

UM, THE BOARD RECENTLY JUST APPROVED THAT IN FEBRUARY.

UM, AND THEN THAT BRINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE NOW GOING OUT TO ALL THE JURISDICTIONS TO SEEK THEIR, UH, CONCURRENCE OR SUPPORT OF THAT, THAT DRAFT EXPENDITURE PLAN.

FROM THERE, WE'LL DO SOME ADDITIONAL POLLING TO SEE HOW THAT LANDS, HOW THE NEW EXPENDITURE PLANNER LANDS ON THE ELECTORATE.

UM, WE'LL DO SOME FINAL REVIEW OF THAT POLLING DATA.

AND THEN A FINAL ORDINANCE WILL BE DRAFTED.

UH, THE BOARD WILL DO A FIRST READING IN MAY COMING UP HERE SOON.

UH, THEY'LL DO A SECOND READING IN JUNE AND, AND TAKE AN ACTION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO ADVANCE THIS EXPENDITURE PLAN INTO A CONSIDERATION TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL THEN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OR NOT TO THE REGISTRAR VOTERS TO GET IT ON THE BALLOT FOR, FOR THIS FALL.

SO THAT'S THE ROADMAP TO GETTING US THERE.

I'LL HAND IT BACK TO, TO MY COLLEAGUE HERE AND, UM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, TIM, FOR PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW.

[01:45:01]

UH, THOSE ARE VISIBLE TANGIBLE INVESTMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

LOCAL RESIDENTS LIKELY DRIVE OVER OR WALK PAST A MEASURE.

EYE FUNDED IMPROVEMENT EVERY DAY.

TO NAME A FEW FROM THE LIST ARE THE STATE ROUTE TWO 10 EXTENSION, THE DAY CREEK CHANNEL BIKE TRAIL, AND VARIOUS CITYWIDE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECTS ON LOCAL AND ARTERIAL STREETS.

ADDITIONALLY, HERE IS A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT ARE PROGRAMMED FOR THE FUTURE WITHIN THE CITY.

A FEW, UH, WORTH NOTING ARE THE ED RWANDA AVENUE GREAT SEPARATION PROJECT, THE MILLIKEN AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT, THE PECAN AVENUE STREET PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT, AND MANY MORE.

THAT IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR VOTER CONSIDERATION ON NOVEMBER 3RD, 2026.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, THERE IS A QR CODE ON THE SCREEN THAT WILL DE, UH, DIRECT YOU TO THE WEBSITE CREATED BY S-B-C-T-A AND HAS ALL INFORMATION RELATED TO MEASURE I.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

QUESTIONS OF STAFF, I WOULD JUST HAVE A CO I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUICK COMMENTS.

COULD YOU PUT THE, THE CHART UP THAT, UM, ON THE, THE TWO, THE EXPENDITURE PLAN, THE NEW AND THE EXISTING ONE? YEAH, A COUPLE MORE BACK.

TWO CIRCLE CHARTS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

LET'S SEE, TWO MORE.

THERE'S AND THEN ONE MORE IS THE VAL IS SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY.

THERE WE GO.

THAT ONE RIGHT THERE, THERE WAS A, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THERE WAS 11 DIFFERENT POTS OF MONEY ON THAT, ON THE LEFT CHART.

NOW THERE'S THREE.

SO MY, MY QUESTION IS, I THINK IF I RECALL WHY WE DID THAT IS THAT IF YOU HAD LIKE 3% IN THE YELLOW OR 8% IN THE YELLOW, BUT, AND YOU HAD IDENTIFIED WHAT THOSE PROJECTS MIGHT BE.

IF, IF THERE WAS, IF THE COST WAS MORE AND YET THERE WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE SAVED MONEY ON, YOU COULDN'T MOVE GREEN, YOU GRAY INTO YELLOW, COULD YOU? NO.

THOSE PODS ARE VERY RESTRICTIVE IN THE CURRENT EXPENDITURE PLAN.

AND SO A BIG DISCUSSION POINT RIGHT BY YOUR COLLEAGUES WAS HOW DO WE ALLOW A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO ADDRESS RIGHT IMMEDIATE CHALLENGES AND, AND THIS DOES THAT I THAT'S AN EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT PROGRAM.

AND I DO KNOW, UH, 'CAUSE I SERVE ON THE AD HOC COMMITTEE THE SURVEY RESULTS.

WE'VE DONE TWO SURVEYS THIS, THIS YEAR ABOUT THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST AND IT'S BEEN VERY FAVORABLE SO FAR.

UM, WE SEE ABOUT 75% APPROVAL OF, OF THE PLAN BY ALL FIVE COUNTIES, SUPERFICIAL DISTRICTS IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

RIGHT.

AND FOR THE COUNCIL'S UN UNDERSTANDING, IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW ALL FIVE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE THE ONES TO DECIDE TO PUT THIS ON THE BALLOT OR NOT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT S-B-C-T-A AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF EVERYTHING THUS FAR.

SO I WOULD JUST MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 26 0 1 3 APPROVING THE MAJOR EYE CONTINUATION EXPENDITURE PLAN DEVELOPED BY SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.

SO MOVED SECOND PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON AND MAYOR PRO TEM KENNEDY.

UM, NOT ONLY AS THEIR RESIDENTS PROUD TO SERVE THEM, BUT REALLY WITH A HEART, UM, AS IF THEY WERE THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS TAKING CARE OF THEM.

SO THAT WAS A COMPLETE JOY AND HONOR TO WATCH AND, UH, A GREAT TIME TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF THAT DAY WITH THEM.
