SO THANK YOU TO OUR YOUTH LEADERS AND CONGRATS TO THE GRADUATES.
SO, UH, MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER RUTAN.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF YOUTH PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN ON THE MOVE NETWORK.
AND TODAY'S EVENT IS AN EXPERIENCE FOR THE HOOSIER HERO PROGRAM AND IT'S AN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM FOR GIRLS.
SO TODAY'S FOCUS WAS, UH, COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THEIR YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE TO HELP THE GIRLS WHO ARE TRANSITIONING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL TO FIND, UH, TO LEARN AND TO THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPORTANT TOPICS AND QUALITIES AND SKILLS THEY'RE GONNA NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
MY NAME IS PRINCESS KGA AND WE'RE AT CAL STATE SAN BERNARDINO FROM WHO'S YOUR HERO? WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS THEY, I BELIEVE THEY'RE TEACHING US ABOUT PEER PRESSURE AND UM, I'M FROM SOLORIO.
I DID THE CON CONFIDENCE WORKSHOP AND MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT IT WAS WHEN WE DID THE FLOWERS.
'CAUSE IT LET ME KNOW THAT I'M BEAUTIFUL AND I'M WHO I AM AND I CAN'T CHANGE THAT.
I THINK IT IS GONNA BE HELPFUL FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT WAS TALKING ABOUT SELF-CONFIDENCE AND I REALLY NEED SOME SELF-CONFIDENCE 'CAUSE I WAS LIKE REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NOW, AND NOW I FEEL CONFIDENT GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL NOW.
MY NAME IS CAMILIA FOWLER AND MY ROLE IS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS ANALYSTS AT CAL STATE SAN BERNARDINO WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
AND I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY WITH WOMEN ON THE MOVE NETWORK IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND AS WELL AS ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ATTENDEES TODAY, THE VALUE OF BRINGING FIFTH GRADERS TO A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IS PLANTING THE SEED EARLY.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO EXPOSE YOUNG GIRLS TO THE UNIVERSITY LIFE TO COLLEGE, BUT ALSO TO EMPOWER THEM TO, UM, ENCOURAGE SELF-CONFIDENCE AND GOOD DECISION MAKING.
ALSO, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE, BODY POSITIVITY.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA GIVE THEM A CAMPUS TOUR.
TODAY THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE THE GARDEN ON CAMPUS.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE THEM TO THE BOWLING ALLEY TO LET THEM KNOW COLLEGE IS CLASSES, BUT THERE'S A LIFE OUTSIDE OF COLLEGE.
SO WE'RE HOPING TO KIND OF ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY TO ANY UNIVERSITY, HOPEFULLY CAL STATE UNIVERSITY SAN BERNARDINO, BUT ENCOURAGE HIGHER EDUCATION.
OUR EVENT IS GIRLS LEADING, GIRLS BLOOMING INTO THE FUTURE, WHICH IS BASICALLY KIND OF LIKE A BIG SISTER SUMMIT.
SO WE'RE FOCUSING ON A VARIETY OF GIRLS FROM THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, FIFTH GRADE GIRLS, AND WE'RE BRINGING THEM HERE TO C-S-U-S-B TO KIND OF GIVE THEM A LEADERSHIP SUMMIT WHERE WE TEACH THEM ABOUT CONFIDENCE, MENTAL HEALTH, UM, WHAT TO DO IN PEER PRESSURE SCENARIOS SINCE THEY'RE GROWING UP.
AND WE WANNA JUST KIND OF GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM UM, GIRLS LIKE US WHO HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, GIVE 'EM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE CAMPUS OF C-S-U-S-B AND KIND OF GIVE 'EM A VISION FOR LIKE, THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION THAT THEY CAN HAVE AS A HIGH SCHOOLER.
I WISH THAT WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL I'D HAD A BIG SISTER TO SORT OF LEAD ME ON THIS WAY.
AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE ACTING IN HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS THEY HAVE, ANY CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE, WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER THEM AND WE'RE HERE TO SHOW THEM THAT IT REALLY IS PRETTY EASY TO GO THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO GUIDE YOU TO STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH.
AND I WAS ABLE TO RELATE TO THEM AND I UNDERSTOOD THEIR FEARS AND THEIR STRUGGLES GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AND I FEEL LIKE IT REALLY, I FEEL LIKE I MADE AN IMPACT AND IT HONESTLY IMPACTED THE WAY THAT I SEE FIFTH GRADERS AND I REALLY GAINED A NEW PROFOUND RESPECT TO THEM TODAY
[00:20:02]
WE LEARNED ABOUT LIKE CONFIDENCE, LIKE, LIKE FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND LIKE, DON'T FEEL AFRAID, LIKE TO SHOW YOUR FEELINGS.LIKE, LIKE BASICALLY LIKE YOU SHOULD FEEL CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF BECAUSE NO ONE'S OPINION LIKE MATTERS.
SO I WAS ALSO IN THE CONFIDENT WORKSHOP AND MY FAVORITE THING WE DID WAS PROBABLY THE FLOWER ALSO BECAUSE IT REMINDED MYSELF THAT I'M PRETTY, AND THAT NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY I SHOULD BE MYSELF.
LIKE FOR MY AFFIRMATION, WE DID AFFIRMATIONS FOR US TO BE CONFIDENT.
AND I PUT, I AM AMAZING AT SOCCER 'CAUSE I AM REALLY GOOD AT SPORTS AND THAT I'M A GOOD FRIEND BECAUSE I HELP MY FRIENDS PICK THEMSELVES UP WHEN THEY'RE FEELING SAD.
'CAUSE SOMETIMES I CAN JUST, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM, LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR FRIENDS, YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE SAD.
SO YOU WOULD LIKE WANNA HELP THEM LIKE LIFT THEIR DAY UP.
SO THEN WHEN THEY'RE FEELING SAD, I LIKE TO HELP MY FRIENDS AND BE CONFIDENT IN WHAT I'M SAYING SO IT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE WORKSHOP THAT SHE'S DOING HERE, UM, IS EXCELLENT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT'S ABOUT TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
UH, AND I DO SEE THE DIFFERENCES.
UM, MY DAUGHTER, MY LITTLE ONE, MIA HAS BEEN PRETTY SCARED AND, AND UM, KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT MOVING INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF HER EDUCATION.
AND NOW THAT I SEE HER DOING THESE WORKSHOPS, THE STUFF THAT THEY'RE TEACHING HER, SHE, I, I COULD SEE THAT SHE'S MORE CONFIDENT.
I COULD SEE HER MORE OPENING UP TO EVERYBODY ELSE AND SHE'S ABLE TO KIND OF LOOK INTO THE FUTURE AND SEE WHAT IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE.
UH, AND I SEE THAT SHE'S GETTING MORE CONFIDENT BY IT.
UH, FOR ME BEING IN YOUTH LEADERS, I KNEW IT WAS ABOUT IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY AND KIND OF GETTING TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY, BUT COMING HERE TODAY AND TEACHING ALL THE OTHER EIGHTH GRADERS AND INTERACTING WITH THEM ON HOW TO DO CPR WAS LIKE SO ENTERTAINING AND REALLY FUN TO KIND OF SHARE WHAT WE GET TO DO.
UH, FOR US IT WAS KIND OF AN INTRODUCTION TO WHAT WE'LL DO IN THE FUTURE.
WE ARE FOCUSED MAINLY ON NARCAN THIS YEAR, BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO KIND OF GET OUT THERE WITH AND TEACH STUDENTS AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THE IMPORTANCE OF SUBSTANCE USE AND JUST HAVING DIFFERENT LIKE SKILLS LIKE CPR REALLY VALUE THE RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I LIKE TEACHING MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S STILL AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THE KIDS AND AN IMPORTANT POINT IN THEIR EDUCATION AND THEIR LIVES.
WHEN THEY SAW YOUR STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE IT AND YOU, YOU SAW THEM PRACTICING IT, UM, THEY REALLY, THEY LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY AND I THINK THEY TOOK SOMETHING HOME THAT THEY CAN, THEY CAN REALLY PRACTICE AND, AND HOPEFULLY NOT HAVE TO TO USE, BUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, IF THEY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL FEEL MORE, UM, MORE EMPOWERED.
SO THERE'S BEEN MANY RESEARCH GROUPS AT YOUTH LEADERS, BUT I PERSONALLY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SUBSTANCE USE AWARENESS GROUP BECAUSE I JUST FELT THAT IT IS A VERY HOT TOPIC AMONG MANY SCHOOLS, MANY, UM, GROUPS OF STUDENTS AND I FEEL LIKE IT AFFECTS EVERYONE TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
SO I JUST FELT VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT INCORPORATING THAT INTO MY YOUTH LEADERS.
LIKE TODAY WE CAME TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO KIND OF SHOW STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON, UM, HELPING ANYONE THAT IS IN NEED OF CPR OR NARCAN.
AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A GREAT THING.
THE YOUTH LEADERS FROM HEALTHY RC CAME OVER TO OUR SCHOOL TO TEACH US ABOUT THE PROCEDURES OF CPR AND LET US LET US KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KNOW THIS.
I FEEL LIKE I NOW HAVE THE POWER TO IMPACT THE LIFE BECAUSE BEFORE THIS CLASS I NEVER KNEW HOW CPR EVEN WORKED.
SO KNOWING THIS REALLY MADE ME FEEL SAFE OF MY KNOWLEDGE I HAVE ABOUT THIS.
[00:25:01]
SO HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE YOUNGER THAN ME AND THINGS LIKE THAT IS VERY, I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT AND ESPECIALLY TODAY WHEN WE LIKE SHOWED PEOPLE CPR IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, UM, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I THINK W WILL CHANGE A LOT OF LIVES BECAUSE KNOWING CPR AND KNOWING NARCAN CAN SAVE A LIFE, IT'S SO REFRESHING TO SEE RANCHO CUCAMONGA SO INVOLVED AND SO INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT IT BUT THEY'RE DOING IT.THEY'RE PUTTING, UM, PLANS AND ACTIONS INTO PLACE AND THEY'RE REACHING PEOPLE THAT WOULDN'T BE REACHED IN ANY OTHER, I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE IN A CITY.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THE ORGANIZATION ASPECT AND THE, AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT AND IT'S NOT FORMAL CLASSES, IT'S JUST, UM, A CLASSROOM OR IN THE PARK OR WHEREVER THE THINGS ARE GONNA HAPPEN.
UM, IT IS AN AMAZING, UH, AMAZING CITY WITH GREAT VISION.
WITH THE OPENING THIS PLAYGROUND WE CAN CELEBRATE KNOWING THE PLAYGROUND WILL BRING JOY AND LAUGHTER AND THIS PLAYGROUND WILL FOSTER THE CREATION OF LIFELONG MEMORIES FOR CHILDREN OF ALL ABILITIES TO THE CHILDREN OF RANCH.
ALRIGHT, SO THIS PLAYGROUND HERE REPRESENTS THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF INCLUSIVE PLAY.
UH, IT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION SITE FOR INCLUSION AND FOR PLAY ON IT WAS TWO SEPARATE PLAYGROUNDS AT ONE TIME WITH STAIRS IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT VERY ACCESSIBLE.
SO WE LOOKED AT HOW CAN WE EXPAND THE SITE AND MAKE THE ENTIRE SITE INCLUSIVE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN FLOW FROM ONE ELEMENT TO THE OTHER.
SO WE PROVIDE SHADED AREAS FOR COZY SPACES FOR SENSORY DEPRIVATION.
WE PROVIDE TACTILE SENSORS, WE PROVIDE AUDIO SENSORS.
WE'RE NOT JUST THINKING ABOUT MOBILITY, BUT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT INCLUDING THE WHOLE CHILD IN ALL DISABILITIES.
SO YOU MAY HAVE ONE CHILD THAT MAYBE NEEDS A LITTLE EXTRA ASSISTANCE AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER CHILDREN THAT DO NOT.
HERE ALL YOUR FAMILY CAN PLAY AT THE SAME TIME ON ONE PART.
RANCH HOOK AMONG STAFF WAS AMAZING.
THEY REALLY TOOK THIS PROJECT TO HEART, INVOLVED IN EVERY PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT THE TEAM BROUGHT TOGETHER A PLAYGROUND THAT COULD SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
WE THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS OPEN AND, AND WE WERE REALLY EXCITED TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT.
SO, SO FAR IT HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW THE PARKS COULD BE LIKE THIS.
IT'S UM, VERY UNIQUE BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND I REALLY LIKE IT.
JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND PLEASE MAKE MORE.
'CAUSE IT IS VERY NICE TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THESE PLACES AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO ENJOY MY TIME.
OH, THAT WITH A WARM WIND AND THE SUNSHINE AIN'T NO CAN COMPARE SPIRIT.
THE BIG OLD YELLOW DOG, BIG OLD YELLOW DOG.
EVEN WHEN IT RAINS SAID YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN.
[00:30:30]
AIN'T NO DOUBT WE'RE LIVING IN STYLE.TODAY WE'RE HOSTING OUR THIRD ANNUAL ADAPTIVE SPORTS FAIR.
IT IS A FAIR WHERE WE HAVE INFORMATIONAL VENDORS, SPORTS THAT FAMILIES CAN TRY OUT.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES JUST TO CONNECT TO BE TOGETHER IN THE COMMUNITY.
TODAY WE ARE HERE AT THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA ADAPTIVE SPORTS, UH, FAIR PROMOTING WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL WITH THE IDEA OF INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL AND RECRUITING PLAYERS.
FOR OUR TEAM WE HAVE, UM, A LOT OF CHAIRS THAT PEOPLE CAN USE.

I ACTUALLY HAVE TWO PLAYERS FROM MY TEAM HERE TO HELP AND ASSIST WITH THAT.
TWO BOUNCES OR TWO UH, DRIBBLES.
YOU CAN BASICALLY DRIBBLE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT.
YOU CAN THROW IT IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEN PUSH INTO IT.
YOU CAN JUST DRIBBLE WHILE YOU'RE PUSHING.
UM, YOU CAN HOLD IT IN YOUR LAP.
AND THEN TWO PUSH IS AN INTERVAL.
I COMING TO THE POINTS SPUR BECAUSE IT'S FUN AND IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO DO.
I AM THE FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CHASING SEVEN DREAMS. CHASING SEVEN DREAMS IS A NON-PROFIT 5 0 1 C3 AND WE HAVE A ORGANIZATION THAT WE PROVIDE PROGRAMS IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY, UH, WITH KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
WE HAVE SUMMER CAMPS AND WE ALSO HAVE A ADAPTIVE SPORTS PROGRAM CALLED STARS.

WE ALSO HAVE A MR WHO'S DOING DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AND DISC GOLF HOSTED BY INVA DISC GOLF.
AND THEN OUTSIDE WE HAVE OUR FIRETRUCK WITH BREWSTERS ICE CREAM, SPECIAL NEEDS COFFEE AND MOUNTAIN MIKE'S PIZZA.
SO THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TODAY.
I'M THE FOUNDER OF NATE'S FRUIT FUSION.
AS A SPECIAL NEEDS MOM, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR OUR KIDS TO HAVE A SENSE OF BELONGING AND THROUGH FRUIT FUSION WE DECIDED WE WERE GONNA BREAK BARRIERS AND INCLUDE EVERYONE, ANY ADULT WITH A DISABILITY, UM, TO COME AND BE PART OF THIS SO THEY CAN FEEL THAT THEY BELONG AND FEEL ACCEPTANCE AND BE ABLE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT THEY LOVE AND FEEL JUST, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
THE ADAPTIVE SPORTS FAIR IS HELD TO BRING MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE DO EACH MONTH AND TO ALSO OFFER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HOSTED BY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS THAT REALLY MAKE RANCHO CUCAMONGA A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE, PLAY, AND WORK.
I GOT A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO UNITEC COLLEGE AS ADMISSION COORDINATOR AND I GOTTA MEET THE RECRUITER FACE TO FACE.
SO IT WAS GOOD TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION AND HOPEFULLY I'LL BE HEARING THAT.
I'M A REGISTERED NURSE HERE WITH CONFIRE.
UM, MY EXPERIENCE HERE TODAY IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN AMAZING, SO MANY JOB SEEKERS WITH SO MUCH, UM, BACKGROUND, SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE.

WELCOME TO AN EPISODE OF RC HOT TOPICS.
I AM THE SENIOR PLANS EXAMINER IN THE BILLING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT.
TODAY I'LL BE TALKING WITH YOU ABOUT ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW AND THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS.
YOU MAY BE ASKING WHAT AND WHY ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW IS INSTEAD OF SUBMITTING THREE TO FIVE SETS OF PAPER PLANS FOR PLAN REVIEW, YOU ARE NOW UPLOADING A PDF OF THE DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW BY THE CITY DEPARTMENTS OVER THE COMPUTER.
THE BENEFIT IS SAVINGS AND DOCUMENT REPRODUCTION APPLICATIONS AND SUBMITTALS ARE SUBMITTED OVER THE INTERNET ON THE ONLINE PERMIT CENTER ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT 24 7.
NO NEED TO COME TO THE CITY TO SUBMIT.
ALONG WITH ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW CAME THE ONLINE ELECTRONIC PERMIT APPLICATION.
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE HANDWRITTEN APPLICATION.
THE PERMIT APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE ONLINE PERMIT CENTER.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW IS NOT NEW FOR RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
EDRS WERE FIRST IMPLEMENTED AS AN OPTIONAL WAY OF SUBMITTING PLANS OVER FIVE YEARS AGO.
AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2020, THE CITY IMPLEMENTED THAT THE SOLE WAY OF SUBMITTING PLANS FOR PLAN REVIEW FOR A BUILDING PERMIT WOULD BE ELECTRONIC.
NO MORE PAPER, SMALL SUBMITTALS, RESIDENTIAL BATHROOMS, KITCHEN REMODELS, PATIO COVERS THAT WERE GENERALLY REVIEWED OVER THE COUNTER ARE STILL ACCEPTED AS PAPER SUBMITTALS IN PERSON WITH A NOMINAL FEE FOR SCANNING THE DOCUMENTS.
WHEN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HIT US, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN A MODIFIED BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVICE WHEN IT CAME TO PLAN SUBMITTAL AND PLAN REVIEW.
SINCE WE HAD ALREADY CONVERTED TO A HUNDRED PERCENT ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT REVIEW, EVEN THOUGH THE CDC AND THE COUNTY RESTRICTED IN-PERSON CONTACT APPLICANTS WERE STILL ABLE TO FILL OUT APPLICATIONS, SUBMIT PLANS, AND PULL PERMITS ONLINE WITHOUT HAVING TO COME TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
BUT WAIT, IT GETS EVEN BETTER.
WE HAVE SEVERAL HOW TO VIDEOS AND GUIDES ON THE CITY WEBSITE AT CITY OF RC US.
UNDER THE BUILDING AND SAFETY SECTION TOPICS INCLUDE HOW TO REGISTER FOR AN ONLINE PERMIT CENTER ACCOUNT, HOW TO CREATE A PERMIT APPLICATION AND HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR PLANS ELECTRONICALLY AND MORE.
HERE'S AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TIP AS AN APPLICANT, BE PROACTIVE WITH YOUR SUBMITTAL.
WHEN YOU UPLOAD YOUR DOCUMENTS, FOLLOW IT UP WITH AN EMAIL TO THE BILLING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT.
THE ONLINE PERMIT CENTER SYSTEM NOTIFIES OUR PERMIT TECHNICIANS WHEN A DOCUMENT HAS BEEN UPLOADED TO THE SYSTEM.
DUE TO THE INCREASED VOLUME OF APPLICATIONS AND SUBMITTALS, THERE CAN BE OVER A HUNDRED UPLOADS A DAY THAT OUR PERMIT TECHNICIANS GO THROUGH PRIOR TO ROUTING IT TO ALL DEPARTMENTS FOR REVIEW.
SOMETIMES NOT OFTEN SOME SUBMITTALS CAN BE UPLOADED WITHOUT THE SYSTEM NOTIFYING US THEREFORE GOING UNDETECTED.
SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM US WITHIN 48 HOURS VIA EMAIL REGARDING YOUR SUBMITTAL, GIVE US A CALL.
PLEASE REMEMBER, APPLICATION STATUS AND PLAN CHECK STATUS CAN BE CHECKED THROUGH THE ONLINE PERMIT CENTER.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL US OR GO ONLINE TO VIEW ONE OF OUR HOW-TO VIDEOS OR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

IT IS OUR DESIRE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED AND INFORMED TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE INFORMATION YOU WISH AND TO ACCESS AND FIND THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
GOODBYE FOR NOW, I THINK YOUTH LEADERS IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PROGRAMS BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF OTHER PROGRAMS WHERE THE YOUTH WORK DIRECTLY WITH THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND DO HANDS-ON PROBLEM SOLVING WITH THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO TRY AND SOLVE EQUITY ISSUES IN THEIR CITY.
THESE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS ARE ALL MOTIVATED TO IMPROVE THE SOCIAL ATMOSPHERE AND ENVIRONMENT OF THEIR CITY, WHICH I THINK MAKES YOUTH LEADERS UNIQUE FROM ANY OTHER PROGRAM THAT I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
YOUTH LEADERS IS ESPECIALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT IS IN THE ESSENCE OF THE WORD YOUTH LED.
SO WE AREN'T BEING TOLD WHAT AFFECTS US OR WHAT WE SHOULD BE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
UM, IT'S WHAT WE AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
AND THEN ALSO IT'S ESPECIALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE IN YOUTH LEADERS WE'RE SURROUNDED BY A FAMILY WHO IS JUST AS PASSIONATE AS EACH OTHER AND UM, BECAUSE OF THEIR PASSION IT IS MOTIVATING FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS AND BECAUSE WE'RE ALL INSPIRED BY THE PEOPLE AROUND US, IT MAKES IT SO MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S GOT A REALLY KEY ROLE IN DOING THIS, RIGHT? AND SO PART OF IT IS, YOU KNOW, OUR YOUTH ARE PASSIONATE, THEY BRING A LOT OF ENERGY, BUT WE HAVE A ROLE IN TEACHING 'EM THE SKILLS, RIGHT? AND WE HAVE A ROLE IN HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT, HOW POLICY PLAYS INTO IT, RIGHT? SO IF THERE IS AN ISSUE OR A PROBLEM THAT THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT THEY WANNA SOLVE, THEY THEY NEED THE SKILLS AND WE CAN HELP EQUIP 'EM WITH THE SKILLS TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE, TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE GROUPS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN DIFFERENT PROBLEMS AND HOW, HOW TO BRING STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER AND ALSO HOW TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS AND FRAME THEM IN A POLICY CONTEXT THAT CAN THEN BE IMPLEMENTED AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
PERSONALLY, I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT ENDING VAPING BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED FROM LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF VAPING AND SMOKING.
'CAUSE I'VE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE SMOKED IN THEIR LIVES AND THEY'VE HAD STROKES 'CAUSE OF IT.
THEY'VE HAD LUNG PROBLEMS 'CAUSE OF IT.
AND YEAH, VAPING IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM SMOKING BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY LIGHTING SOMETHING UP, BUT THE ESSENCE IS STILL THE SAME THING, SO YOU STILL DAMAGE YOUR LUNGS LONG TERM.
SO I'M REALLY AGAINST ANYONE INJECTING, YOU KNOW, QUOTE UNQUOTE INJECTING SOMETHING IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO HARM THEM LATER ON DOWN THEIR LIFE.
OUR PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL INCLUDED A MAP OF ALL THE VAPE SHOPS IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS MAP, WE DETERMINED OR WE WERE ABLE TO DEDUCE THAT SMOKING AND VAPING IS ALSO A, AN EQUITY ISSUE
[00:55:01]
IN OUR CITY.SO WE PRESENTED THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
WE ALSO CREATED, UH, AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN BASICALLY ADVOCATING THAT HEY, THESE DEVICES, THESE PRODUCTS, THEY'RE TRAPPING OUR YOUTH, THEY'RE BAD FOR OUR YOUTH, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION AND HEARING FROM THEM AND HOW THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OTHER CITIES, ESPECIALLY LIKE CITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NEAR US AND HOW THOSE CITIES HAVE PUT THEIR OWN POLICIES INTO PLACE REGARDING, UM, SMOKING AND VAPE POLICIES.
SO IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW WE COULD SORT OF MAYBE INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR OWN POLICY THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IN YOUTH LEADERS.
I'VE MADE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE LIKE THE CITY STAFF, UM, THE CITY COUNCIL AND OTHER PEOPLE WORKING IN AT CITY HALL.
AND DEFINITELY BECAUSE OF THEM AND BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIPS I'VE MADE, I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE MY VOICE IS BEING HEARD IN THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO BEING SURROUNDED BY A GROUP OF OTHER YOUTH LEADERS WHO ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR SUBJECTS DEFINITELY IS INSPIRING AND THE FAMILY THAT WE BUILT IN YOUTH LEADERS WAS VERY BENEFICIAL TO ME, UM, AND DEFINITELY HELPED IN WHY IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY AND HOW I'M MAKING A DIFFERENCE TOO.
DOING RESEARCH IN TOBACCO AND VAPE PREVENTION HAS DEFINITELY INSTILLED A GREATER PASSION FOR ME IN THE SUBJECT AND IT'S DEFINITELY SPARKED AN INTEREST FOR ME TO GO INTO HEALTHCARE AND TO GO INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD.
UM, DOING THE RESEARCH WITH AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION AND EVEN WITH OTHER CITY STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT CODE HAS DEFINITELY, UM, IMPACTED THE WAY I VIEW PUBLIC HEALTH AND UM, EVEN HEALTH EQUITY.
TO ME, ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS IS THAT THE YOUTH WE WORK WITH TODAY ARE MORE PASSIONATE AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVING THEIR COMMUNITY, UH, IMPROVING PEOPLE'S HEALTH THAN ANY GENERATION I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE THIS.
SO IF WE'RE GIVING THEM THE SKILLS TO BE LEADERS IN THE FUTURE, IF WE'RE HELPING THEM LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE, HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, HOW TO BRING STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER, HOW TO WORK WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS, HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS, HOW TO CONSIDER THE POLITICAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF SOLUTIONS THEY COME UP WITH, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO ABLE NOT JUST TO SOLVE ONE PROBLEM BUT MANY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE.
THEY'RE REALLY GONNA BE THE HOPE OF THE NEXT GENERATION.

THE SNOW CAPPED SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS EVER PRESENT IN THE DISTANCE, THE LAND WHERE RANCHO CUCAMONGA SITS TODAY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DESIRABLE LOCATION.FIRST SETTLED AROUND 1200 AD BY THE CUCAMONGA NATIVE AMERICANS.
THE OPEN PLAINS AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE HAVE CHANGED HANDS MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES.
BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1977 WHEN THE LEADERS OF AL LOMA CUCAMONGA AT RWANDA AND RED HILL DECIDED TO INCORPORATE THEIR AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES THAT A NEW CITY WAS FORMED, THE CITY, YOU KNOW AND LOVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
SOON AFTER THE 1980 GENERAL PLAN WAS CREATED TO PRESENT A CLEAR VISION FOR WHAT THIS NEW CITY WAS, TO BECOME ITS PURPOSE WAS TO ORGANIZE RANCHO CUCAMONGA INTO SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND DISTRICTS AS A FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE GROWTH WHILE PRESERVING THE CHARACTER AND HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL COMMUNITIES.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, RANCHO CUCAMONGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CITY WITH A PLAN AND THAT PLAN HASN'T CHANGED, RATHER IT HAS BEEN PURPOSEFULLY IMPROVED UPON AND MODERNIZED THROUGHOUT THE DECADES.
THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN UPDATE DEVELOPED IN THE MIDST OF A ONCE IN A GENERATION PANDEMIC.
THE CITY'S LATEST GENERAL PLAN WAS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED IN DECEMBER OF 2021.
[01:10:01]
AT THE CORE OF THE GENERAL PLAN IS A SIMPLE YET ASPIRATIONAL VISION FOR THE NEXT TWO DECADES, BUILD ON OUR SUCCESS AS A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY TO CREATE AN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND VIBRANT, CITY RICH, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO THRIVE.IN ORDER TO REALIZE THIS VISION, IT WAS ESSENTIAL TO HEAR FROM YOU THE COMMUNITY DURING THE PLAN RC PROCESS AND THROUGH THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS FROM ALL ACROSS RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
THREE CORE VALUES ALSO TOOK CLEAR SHAPE HEALTH EQUITY AND STEWARDSHIP.
WITH THESE VALUES ALWAYS IN MIND, THERE IS NO DOUBT THE GENERAL PLAN'S VISION WILL BECOME REALITY.
YOU KNOW, IN OUR CITY WE HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT THAT WE REVISED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THAT MISSION STATEMENT READS, ENSURE AND ADVANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE COMMUNITY THROUGH INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING.
AND THOSE ARE SOME VERY POWERFUL WORDS.
OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES, THIS IDEA OF CREATING A WORLD-CLASS COMMUNITY HAS REALLY RESTED ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL.
IT'S WHAT INSPIRED THE INCORPORATION OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 40 YEARS AGO CONTINUES TO INSPIRE US.
NOW WE ARE A CITY THAT REALLY PROTECTS OUR HISTORY AND IT PROTECTS OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.
IT HAS AMENITIES FOR EVERYONE.
IT IS REFLECTIVE OF THE DIVERSITY THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I BELIEVE THAT ONCE PEOPLE SEE THIS PLAN, THEY'LL ACTUALLY SEE THEIR VOICES.
WE NEED HEALTHY RESIDENTS, EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF OPPORTUNITIES, AS WELL AS RESPONSIBLE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR RESOURCES.
AND THESE THREE CORE VALUES GUIDE EVERY ASPECT OF PLAN RRC AND ARE THE FOUNDATIONAL BEDROCK FOR ITS ABILITY TO OUTLINE A BETTER VERSION OF OUR CITY THAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO LIVING IN.
WITH A GRAND VISION COMES BIG IDEAS AND THE GENERAL PLAN IS CHOCK FULL OF BIG IDEAS HERE.
THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE FIRST, PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY, CREATE DESTINATIONS, ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND ESTABLISH RANCHO CUCAMONGA AS THE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC HUB OF THE INLAND EMPIRE.
NOW LET'S DIVE INTO A FEW OF THESE.
FIRST UP, PROVIDING CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY.
MAKING RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUTABLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES AND MEANS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE GROWTH OF THE CITY.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE WORKING ON THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR GENERAL PLAN ARE IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR TRAIL NETWORK, IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR SIDEWALK NETWORK, INCREASING TRANSIT OPPORTUNITIES AND OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE WITHIN OUR CITY.
OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS CHANGING AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY IN THE SENSE OF NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO REACH ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED IN A CLOSE RANGE AND WITHOUT GETTING IN A VEHICLE, THIS CAN MEAN ACCESSING A GROCERY STORE ON YOUR BIKE OR WITHIN A HALF A MILE WALK.
IT CAN MEAN GETTING TO A PLACE OF, UH, RECREATION, UH, THAT'S CLOSE BY SO YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTH.
ANOTHER BIG IDEA DEVELOPED DURING PLAN RC ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.
AS CLIMATE CHANGE CONTINUES TO IMPACT ALL OF US, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EVERY RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITY MEMBER SHARE THE BURDEN OF COMBATING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND POLLUTION.
EQUALLY, WE WANT TO CREATE AN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND VIBRANT CITY FOR ALL TO THRIVE, AND WE CAN'T DO THAT IF WE AREN'T ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY HURT SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS OVER OTHERS.
SO PART OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR BOTH THE GENERAL PLAN AND FOR THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IS TO LOOK AT HOW OUR GHG EMISSIONS ARE IMPACTING THINGS LIKE AIR QUALITY IN CERTAIN AREAS.
IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TREE SCAPE, IF WE HAVE WATER POLLUTION ISSUES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAILORING OUR PROCESSES AND TAILORING THE STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING TO ADDRESS THOSE FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES TO MEET THEIR NEEDS ACROSS THE BOARD AND NOT JUST HAVE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL, UH, SOLUTION FOR CLIMATE ACTION AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE.
AND PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IDEA OF ALL ESTABLISHING RANCHO CUCAMONGA AS THE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC HUB OF THE INLAND EMPIRE.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THE NEW GENERAL PLAN WILL PRIORITIZE CREATING A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS OTHER ACTIVITY CENTERS ACROSS THE CITY.
25 YEARS AGO, VICTORIA GARDENS WAS ENVISIONED AS THE DOWNTOWN FOR ALL THREE COMMUNITIES OF TWANDA, CUCAMONGA AND ALT AND IT REALLY HAS COME TO BE A MAJOR CENTER HERE, BOTH IN THE CITY AND THE INLAND EMPIRE.
BUT OUR COMMUNITY ASKED FOR MORE, WANTED MORE PLACES TO GO, MORE THINGS TO DO AND MORE WHEN YOU GET THERE.
THERE COULD ALSO BE MORE I UH, ACTIVITY CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY THAT THE AREA AROUND THE
[01:15:01]
CIVIC CENTER, FOR EXAMPLE, COULD BE AN AUTHENTIC CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE IDEA OF CONCENTRATING JOBS THERE, PROFESSIONAL JOBS, OFFICE JOBS, ET CETERA, WITH MORE THINGS TO DO FOR THE BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYEES THERE AROUND THE EARTH.WHILE THERE IS MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS AHEAD, IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW GENERAL PLAN IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE.
HERE'S JUST A TASTE OF SOME EXCITING PROJECTS UNDERWAY.
THE CITY UPDATED AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ITS DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ESTABLISH NEW STANDARDS THAT CREATE A MORE WALKABLE AND VIBRANT ENVIRONMENT ALONG OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS.
THE NEW DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE FOCUSES ON CONTEXT SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CARS ARE NOT THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE GET AROUND.
AS THE CITY TRANSITIONS INTO AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, THE CODE PROMOTES A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY AND VIBRANT RANCH CUCAMONGA BY SAFELY SEPARATING THE PEDESTRIAN REALM AND THE VEHICULAR REALM THROUGH REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS SMALLER BLOCK SIZES, WIDER SIDEWALKS AND IMPROVED AND MORE ACTIVE BUILDING FRONTAGES.
ALONG THOSE LINES, MANY OF THE CITY'S SIDEWALKS ARE GOING TO GET A MAJOR RENOVATION, PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHWEST CUCAMONGA.
HAVING THESE SIDEWALKS IMPROVED WILL DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE MORE BIKING, WALKING, RIDING, JOGGING, WE CAN GET TO KNOW OUR NEIGHBORS MORE.
UM, I CAN JUST PICTURE LITTLE GIRLS AND THEIR DADDIES OR LITTLE BOYS AND THEIR GRANDPAS OUTSIDE LEARNING HOW TO ROLLER SKATE, LEARNING HOW TO RIDE BIKES FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I MEAN, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD THAT WOULD BE.
RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF HAVEN AVENUE AND ARROW ROUTE, A CUTTING EDGE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE BUILT.
248 NEW APARTMENTS AND AROUND 24,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL RESTAURANT AND OFFICE SPACE WILL BE DEVELOPED.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT HAVING NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THE WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED AT HAVEN AND ARROW IS THAT THEY BUILD A SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
HAVING THE ABILITY TO WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO SOMETHING LIKE HAVEN CITY MARKET OR FOR PROFESSIONALS LIKE MYSELF AND EVERYBODY ELSE WORKING IN CITY HALL, THEY HAVE A PLACE TO CALL HOME.
SO CLOSE BY IS JUST WONDERFUL, CREATING THOSE WALKABLE AREAS, CREATING THOSE NETWORKS WHERE WE CAN MEET PEOPLE AND INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER, THAT WE CAN TAKE OUR DOGS OUT FOR A WALK.
MY HUSBAND AND I MOVED TO ONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND WE JUST LOVE THE WALKABILITY OF IT.
WE LOVE LISTENING TO THE CHILDREN PLAY AT THE POOL ACROSS THE STREET.
HAVING THESE KIND OF NEIGHBORHOODS JUST REALLY HELPS CREATE THAT SENSE OF HOME AND THAT SENSE OF PLACE.
AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS ESTABLISHING AN ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO TAXPAYERS.
THIS EIFD WILL CREATE A FUNDING POOL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS OUR CITY.
ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT IS A WAY OF CAPTURING THE GROWTH IN PROPERTY TAX IN A GIVEN AREA AND USING THAT TO FINANCE SOME IMPORTANT INVESTMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE LOOKING AT INVESTMENTS SUCH AS ADDITIONAL PARKING, LOOKING AT CONNECTIVITY TO CUCAMONGA STATION.
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE REALLY WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S LOOKING FOR.
AS PART OF THE VISION HERE FOR THIS AREA, OUR COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND OUR LATEST GENERAL PLAN IS GOING TO ENSURE WE LIVE UP TO THEM.
THIS PLAN JUST HAS OPENED UP TO, FRANKLY, THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE WHAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA HAS TO OFFER, WHERE ALL PEOPLE AT ALL LEVELS UH, HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE.
PLANT RC HAS LAID OUT A VISION THAT WILL LEAD TO A GOLDEN FUTURE OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY FOR EVERYONE LIVING AND DOING BUSINESS IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
WE ARE GONNA CREATE A CITY FOR THE NEXT 10, 20, 30 YEARS THAT WILL BE SOMEPLACE THAT WILL REALLY REFLECT OUR WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY STATUS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO A RANCHO CUCAMONGA THAT IS AESTHETICALLY BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONALLY EFFICIENT, AND ALWAYS KEEPING ITS RESIDENTS IN MIND AS IT GROWS AND EXPANDS FOSTERING VIBRANT COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE US TRULY A UNIQUE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITY THAT WOULD EARN THE ADMIRATION OF EVEN THOSE WHO DO NOT LIVE HERE.
WE HOPE YOU ARE AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS WE ARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.

COYOTES ARE FOUND THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA AND ARE EXTREMELY ADAPTABLE AND ABLE TO SURVIVE IN MANY HABITATS INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
COYOTES ARE SIMILAR TO A SMALL GERMAN SHEPHERD IN SIZE AND SHAPE.
THEY HAVE A LONG SLENDER MUZZLE WITH LARGE POINTED EARS AND THEIR TAIL IS ROUND AND BUSHY.
COYOTES ARE NORMALLY SEEN AT NIGHT AND EARLY EVENINGS, BUT CAN ALSO BE FOUND DURING THE DAY
[01:25:01]
SEARCHING FOR FOOD AND WATER, ESPECIALLY DURING THE BREEDING SEASON OR WHEN RESOURCES ARE SCARCE.COYOTES PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN ECOLOGICAL BALANCE BY HELPING KEEP POPULATIONS OF SMALLER ANIMALS LIKE RATS, MICE, AND RABBITS IN CHECK.

RC HOT TOPICS IS THERE TO SHARE THESE THINGS, AND IN THIS EPISODE WE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
WE HIGHLIGHT THE EIGHT FOR STATION EIGHT FUNDRAISER AND HOW TO APPLY FOR A BUSINESS LICENSE.
HI, MY NAME IS BALDWIN N I'M AN ASSOCIATE ENGINEER WITH OUR ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
TODAY I'LL BE COVERING THE IMPROVEMENTS OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ALSO KNOWN AS ATM S.
IN 2018, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMMUNICATION MASTER PLAN WAS COMPLETED TO IDENTIFY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS THAT WAS SUPPORT THE CITY'S TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM.
THE A TMS PROJECT WAS A FIRST PART OF A MULTI-PHASE PROJECT TO CONNECT THE CITY'S TRAFFIC SIGNALS WITH THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF OUR SYSTEM CAN ALSO HELP IN REDUCING IDLING TIME AT RED LIGHTS, MAINTAINING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC THROUGH MAJOR CORRIDORS DURING PEAK TRAVEL TIMES, AND PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FOR MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS THAT LEAD TO A NEED FOR SUDDEN EVACUATION FROM A PARTICULAR AREA OF THE CITY.
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, THE PROJECT CONSTRUCTED AN INFRASTRUCTURE TO RELIABLY CONNECT THE ENTIRE CORRIDOR OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD FROM SAN BERNARDINO ROAD TO EAST AVENUE AND ALONG HAVEN AVENUE.
FROM WILSON AVENUE DOWN TO FOURTH STREET, THE A TMS PHASE ONE PROJECT WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE COORDINATION OF OVER 50 TRAFFIC SIGNALS RESULTING IN REDUCTION IN TRAVEL TIMES.
BY COMPARING BEFORE AND AFTER PROJECT CONDITIONS, WE OBSERVED A REDUCTION IN AVERAGE DELAY ALONG HAVEN AVENUE OF UP TO 67% AND ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD OF UP TO 51%.
NOT ONLY DOES THIS PROJECT HELP US WORK TOWARDS ACHIEVING CITY COUNCIL'S GOAL OF REDUCING DELAYS ALONG HAVEN AVENUE BETWEEN THE 10 FREEWAY AND THE TWO 10 FREEWAY DURING PEAK CONGESTION PERIODS, IT ALSO HELPED ACHIEVE A REDUCTION OF HARMFUL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WITHIN OUR CITY.
FROM IDLING VEHICLES, WE WILL BRING YOU MORE UPDATES AS WE CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS IN OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMMUNICATION MASTER PLAN.
THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT IS KNOWN FOR BEING AN INNOVATOR THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND THEY'RE COMMITTED TO FINDING CREATIVE WAYS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS INNOVATIVE OUTSIDE THE BOX THINKING WILL BE SHOWCASED AT THE CITY'S NEWEST FIRE STATION LOCATED ON TOWN CENTER DRIVE, JUST EAST OF HAVEN AVENUE.
AS THE FIRE DISTRICT PREPARES FOR THE FUTURE, THEY'VE NOT FORGOTTEN HOW
[01:30:01]
IT ALL BEGAN.STRONG TRADITIONS ARE EMBEDDED IN THE FOUNDATION OF THE FIRE SERVICE THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY.
ONE OF THOSE TRADITIONS HAS BEEN TO HONOR THOSE THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US.
FIRE STATION 1 78 WILL BE HOME TO A NINE 11 MEMORIAL PARK THAT WILL CREATE A SPACE TO REMEMBER THE SELFLESS SACRIFICE THAT WAS MADE ON THIS UNIMAGINABLE DAY.
WHEN WE RUN AWAY, THESE INDIVIDUALS RUN TOWARDS WHEN WE SHOW FEAR, THEY SHOW RESERVE WHEN WE FLIGHT.
THEY FIGHT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT EXAMPLE.
THE SCRIPTURE ON JULY 4TH, 2002 REMNANTS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WERE DONATED TO THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITY AND DISPLAYED AT THE JERSEY FIRE STATION FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS AND REFLECT ON THE EVENTS OF NINE 11.
REFLECTION SOON LED TO THE DESIRE FOR A PERMANENT MEMORIAL IN THE CITY.

SO JUST MAKE SURE, BE MINDFUL OF YOUR KIDS AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT THREE FOOT SPACE BETWEEN THE KIDS AND WHAT WE'RE COOKING.
WE ALWAYS WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE COOKING, ESPECIALLY ON THE STOVE TOP, THAT WE HAVE THOSE ITEMS REMOVED BECAUSE THAT TOWEL COULD EASILY IGNITE.
SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF WHAT'S ON THE STOVE BEFORE WE TURN IT ON.
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER CLOSE BY HERE IN THE STATION.
WE HAVE A FEW JUST LIKE THIS, AND WE'RE GONNA USE THAT IF WE HAVE A KITCHEN FIRE.
ALSO, A LID TO THROW ON A POT IS GONNA STOP THAT FIRE TOO.

I'M A STATE INSTRUCTOR FOR THE PROGRAM.
LITOS IS A BASIC TRAINING IN PREPARATION FOR DISASTERS OR EMERGENCIES.
OUR FOCUS POINT IS TO EDUCATE THE FAMILY.
CURRENTLY, WE HAVE EIGHT TO 10 INSTRUCTORS THAT ARE DOING THIS IN BRINGING IT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
WE THANK RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR BRINGING THIS, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO COME OUT AND TEACH OUR COMMUNITY.
WE ARE CURRENTLY AT THE LOS ALAMITOS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND WE HAVE A GROUP OF 15 FOLKS THAT ARE TAKING THIS CLASS.
STARTED YESTERDAY AND FINISHED TODAY.
WE AS IN THE INDIVIDUALS GOING THROUGH AN INSTRUCTION TO BECOME INSTRUCTORS.
WE BUILD A BOND 'CAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS AT FIRST, THAT WE HELP EACH OTHER OUT.
AND BY HELPING EACH OTHER OUT, WE REINFORCE OUR THINKING AND THAT'S THE SAME IDEA AS INTO WHAT WE DO WITH THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THE TRAINING.
SO IT, IT'S BENEFICIAL TO WORK WITH THE INSTRUCTORS, KNOW THEIR QUIRKS AND THEIR HABITS AND ALL, AND THEN WE CAN MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT IF WE ARE EVER IN A TEAM TRAINING SOMEBODY AND WE COULD GIVE THEM THE BEST AND, AND ASSURE OUR, OUR GROUP AND THE PEOPLE WE'RE TRAINING THAT THEY HAVE GOT THE BEST TRAINING THEY COULD HAVE.
THE CLASS TODAY, THESE FOLKS ARE VERY EXCITED.
THEY CAME BACK WITH QUESTIONS WE ANSWERED.
THIS IS JUST A STEPPING STONE OF THESE FOLKS THAT CAME TODAY IN PREPARATION FOR TAKING ADDITIONAL COURSES IN PREPARATION.
THIS IS JUST ONE STEP OF THEM GETTING EDUCATED, TAKING A CPR CLASS, TAKING CERT, COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM.
SO WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING IT TO THIS LOCATION AND THEY WERE JUST EXCITED.
WE DO OFFER IT ALSO TO CHILDREN.
IF YOU NOTICE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM, WE HAD CHILDREN THERE.
THEY GOT INVOLVED IN THIS PROGRAM.
THIS STARTED AT SANTA BARBARA AND A ROUND TABLE AND AS A RESULT GREW FROM SANTA BARBARA TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
OUR COORDINATOR IS IMA HERRERA.
THAT STARTED 10 YEARS AGO AND, UH, THE ANNIVERSARY OF LITOS WILL BE THIS MAY 5TH, 11 YEARS, AND WE'RE HOPING TO HIT EVERY CITY IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
[01:55:01]
WHAT I DO.I'M ENTHUSIASTIC, I'M PASSIONATE TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE WE NEED IT.
WE DEFINITELY NEED THIS TYPE OF TRAINING.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WITH 11 LANGUAGES.
WE STARTED OFF WITH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, AND FROM THEN ON WE JUST ADDED A TOTAL OF 11 LANGUAGES WORKING WITH PEOPLE, NUMBER ONE AS IN TWO THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS IN THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT, AND KNOWING THAT I'M HELPING AND GIVING THEM SOME IDEAS AS TO HOW THEY CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES OR THEIR FAMILY'S LIVES.
SO IT'S, IT'S BEEN BENEFICIAL ALL THE WAY AROUND.
IT'S GOOD TO TEACH OTHERS AND THEN THEY TEACH OTHERS.
I'M THE PRINCIPAL OF VALLEY VISTA ELEMENTARY AND WE HAVE OUR OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT.
SO ALL OF OUR FAMILIES, TK THROUGH FIFTH GRADE, ARE HERE TO WALK THROUGH THEIR CLASSROOMS. WE HAVE RESOURCE AREAS SET UP SO FAMILIES CAN GET IN CONTACT WITH DIFFERENT RESOURCES AT THE COUNTY OR CITY OR THAT WE PROVIDE FOR THEM.
AND SO YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIES JOINING US TONIGHT, AND WE'VE INVITED COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO COME AND BE ABLE TO SHOW WHAT THE CITY'S ABLE TO OFFER THEM OR WHAT THE COUNTY HAS TO OFFER THEM, BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES SOMETIMES DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THE RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO HAVING A POINT OF CONTACT AT THE CITY HAS BEEN HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO GET THEM CONNECTED TO THE RIGHT RESOURCES AND THE RIGHT HELP.
WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE, AGAIN, WE IN PERSON.
WELL, THAT'S BEEN WONDERFUL, GREAT FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE OF THE SOCIALIZATION AND ISOLATION THAT THEY WERE EXPERIENCING THAT REALLY IS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR MENTAL HEALTH, TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT, TO THEIR ABILITY TO JUST GROW AND, AND BE EVEN AGE APPROPRIATE.
LIKE A 5-YEAR-OLD TODAY ISN'T REALLY THE SAME AS A 5-YEAR-OLD, FIVE YEARS AGO BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY DIDN'T GET THE SAME EXPERIENCES AND SAME CONNECTIONS.
I WOULD SAY BEING ABLE TO BE IN PERSON HAS BEEN A, A HUGE BENEFIT.
WE STILL HAVE A, A LOT, A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT A LOT OF THOSE RESOURCES I THINK THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO PROVIDE US IS, IS HELPING US GET THROUGH.
UM, SO SOMETHING THAT I DO IS I WORK AFTER SCHOOL, UM, AND I'M REALLY INVOLVED WITH THE STUDENTS.
SO WE HELP THEM WITH HOMEWORK.
WE HAVE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES LIKE STEM, UM, BUILDING COMPETITIONS, RIDING COMPETITIONS.
SO IT'S A REALLY GOOD BENEFIT TO OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE THAT, UM, ABILITY TO COME TO A PLACE AFTER SCHOOL THAT PROVIDES THEM WITH SNACK AND THE SUPPORT OF, UM, LIKE EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS.
SO WE DO A BUNCH OF STUFF WITH THINK TOGETHER, UM, TO SUPPORT THE VALLEY VISTA COMMUNITY.
SO FOR, UM, OUR THINK TOGETHER STUDENTS, THE ELIGIBILITY IS ANYONE WHO IS ENGLISH LEARNING FREE, REDUCED LUNCH, UM, SEPARATED HOUSEHOLDS, UM, LIKE FOSTER HOMELESS STUDENTS.
UM, WE WANT TO SERVICE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
UM, SO WE OPEN OUR DOORS TO ALL THE STUDENTS HERE AT VALLEY VISTA AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED STUDENTS ENROLLED, AND OUR ATTENDANCE IS AROUND 85 STUDENTS DAILY.
THE TASK FORCE, UM, HAS A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL, UM, INVOLVEMENT.
WE FEED INTO THAT HIGH SCHOOL.
SO, AND A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCE LATER IN LIFE REALLY DO START WHEN THEY'RE YOUNGER.
SO WE'RE ABLE TO GET CONNECTED TO A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED WITH, WITH BY JUST BEING PRESENT.
SO THE PARTICIPATION IN, IN THE TASK FORCE REALLY HAS HELPED JUST START TO FORGE LIKE IDEAS OF WHAT WE COULD BE DOING HERE AS A DISTRICT LEVEL OR AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS.
AND, UM, WE ALSO ARE WORKING ON PROVIDING POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO HELP THEM DEAL WITH THEIR EMOTIONS.
OUR COUNSELORS HAVE PROVIDED CALMING BOXES AND DIFFERENT STRATEGIES.
WE HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED SECOND STEP THAT WE'RE USING TO TEACH THEM HOW TO HANDLE THEIR EMOTIONS, HOW TO DEAL WITH THEIR FEELINGS, HOW TO LABEL WHAT THEY'RE FEELING, AND THEN IDENTIFY A TOOL THAT HELPS THEM CALM DOWN.
SO WE USE DIFFERENT ZONES TO LABEL THEIR FEELINGS.
SO IF THEY'RE IN THE RED ZONE, THEN HOW DO THEY GET BACK INTO THE GREEN? AND SO THEY CAN SAY, YOU, YOU CAN ASK A STUDENT, HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY? OH, I'M IN THE RED ZONE.
OKAY, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO HELP YOURSELF CALM DOWN? AND THEY MIGHT HAVE A BREATHING EXERCISE OR I NEED A FIVE MINUTE MOVEMENT BREAK SO THEY'RE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ALL THOSE THINGS.
SO THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL, ALL THE RESOURCES IN ONE PLACE.
SO IT'S BEEN NICE FOR THE CITY TO BE A PARTNER WITH THAT.
[02:00:39]

GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS ANTHONY GONZALEZ.
WELCOME TO HISTORIC CUCAMONGA SERVICE STATION HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
OUR VISITORS COME FROM HERE IN CALIFORNIA ACROSS THE US AROUND THE WORLD.
UH, WE'VE HAD PEOPLE FROM JAPAN, PEOPLE FROM EUROPE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, EUROPE AND JAPAN HAVE QUITE ACTIVE AND AND VIBRANT ROUTE 66 CLUBS.
BUT THE ICON THAT WE HAVE HERE, THEY HAVE CLUBS BACK IN THEIR COUNTRIES AND THEY TRAVEL A OUT HERE QUITE OFTEN.
WE HAVE SCHOOLS THAT COME OUT, THEY'VE CONTACTED US AND THE KIDS COME THROUGH HERE AND WALK THROUGH HERE.
WE HAVE GIRL SCOUTS COME OUT HERE AND THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD GO AHEAD AND AND SELL THEIR COOKIES HERE.
UH, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
THEY'RE THE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT THE STATION AND INTERACT WITH THE VISITORS.
SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT COME OUT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
IT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE THAT COME AROUND, THEY SEE THE FOLKS HERE, THEY SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THEY GET A CHANCE TO INTERACT WITH THOSE PEOPLE AND VICE VERSA.
AND IT SEEMS TO CREATE A POSITIVE, UH, EFFECT ON BOTH SIDES.
THE KOO SERVICE STATION RECEIVED ITS HISTORIC STATUS IN 2018.
ROUTE 66 BECAME OFFICIAL IN 1926, SO IT WAS HERE BEFORE ROUTE 66.
THE STATION HAS AN ANNUAL CAR SHOW.
THE THE PROCEEDS FROM THE CAR SHOW AGAIN, GO INTO THE STATION AND HELP MAINTAIN THE STATION, AND IT'S
[02:05:01]
HELD AT THE LOCAL HISTORIC SITE, SYCAMORE IN HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.WE HAVE ENTERTAINMENT, WE HAVE, UH, VENDORS WHO COME OUT AND SELL THEIR WARES.
WE HAVE SPONSORS THAT COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE STATION.
AND IN DOING SO, THEY ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES THAT THEY HAVE.
BUT THE ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT FOR US ALL IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A CALENDAR THAT WE PRODUCE, AND THE CALENDAR IS PRODUCED FROM THE 12 CAR WINNERS THAT ARE SELECTED IN THE CAR SHOW.
SO EACH ONE OF THE CARS REPRESENTS THE MONTH OF THE YEAR.
IN 2026, ROUTE 66 BECOMES A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
EACH STATE IS GONNA BE CHARGED WITH COORDINATING WITHIN ITS RESPECTIVE STATE, THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR ROUTE 66.
AND SO WE'RE ALL CHARGED WITH HAVING TO DO THAT.
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS, IS EVERYBODY ON ROUTE 66 WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM THESE ALSO BECAUSE THEY CAN SELL 'EM FROM THEIR OWN FACILITY.
AGAIN, ANOTHER WAY TO DRAW PEOPLE INTO IT.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE IT A CELEBRATION THAT EVERYBODY'S GONNA BENEFIT FROM IT.
SO NOT JUST US, IT'S GONNA BE EVERYBODY.
SO ENJOY THE HISTORY THAT THIS STATION REPRESENTS HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
THIS STATION WAS A VITAL PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INLAND EMPIRE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND AN OFFER FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT VISITED THE STATION TO PLEASE COME BY THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY FROM 10:00 AM TO 4:00 PM WELCOME TO THE MOLO FOUNDATION.
I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SALMON ALFREDA MALU FOUNDATION, AND WE'RE REALLY GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
I WANNA SHOW YOU AROUND SEVEN ALFREDA MALOOF ARE REALLY CHILDREN OF THE INLAND EMPIRE.
THEY BOTH, UH, GREW UP IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND AFTER WORLD WAR II, THEY, UH, CAME BACK TO THE INLAND EMPIRE AND, UH, MET EACH OTHER, ESTABLISHED A HOME, GOT MARRIED AND HAD A CHILD.
UH, AND SAM WAS A, UH, AN ARTIST AS WELL.
SAM WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING.
AND, UH, ALFREDA SAID, WELL, UH, WHY DON'T WE START A WOODWORKING BUSINESS? FOLKS REALLY COME TO THE MALO FOUNDATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
THEY COME TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THEY DISCOVERED THE, UH, MALOOF PROPERTY.
YOU KNOW, OUR EXPERIENCE AT THE MALOOF, UH, REALLY, UH, INCLUDES THE TOURS OF THE HISTORIC HOME, THE, UH, EXHIBITIONS THAT WE DO IN OUR GALLERY.
WE ALSO DO WOODWORKING WORKSHOPS AND OTHER ART MAKING WORKSHOPS.
AND, UH, AND PEOPLE ALSO ENJOY, UH, KNOWING AND SEEING LIFE IN RELATION TO THE MAKING OF, UH, FURNITURE.
IN THE MOLO WORKSHOP, THE HISTORIC HOME IS, UH, CONSIDERED A CALIFORNIA MODERNIST TREASURE.
IT'S, UH, LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.
IT'S PART OF THE HISTORIC ARTISTS HOMES AND STUDIOS PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL TRUST.
AND, UH, AND WE'RE ALWAYS GLAD TO SHARE IT WITH FOLKS.
WE ARE A SMITHSONIAN AFFILIATE.
SO THAT MEANS EDUCATION IS A PART OF OUR WORK AND PART OF OUR IDENTITY.
UH, WE DO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE LOCAL SCHOOLS, BUT WE ALSO DO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ON SITE.
UH, IN ADDITION TO OUR GALLERY EXHIBITIONS, THERE ARE WORKSHOPS WHERE FOLKS LEARN ABOUT WOODWORKING AND LEARN THE TECHNIQUES OF MAKING, UH, FINE FURNITURE FROM INSTRUCTORS WHO, UH, HAVE A HISTORY OF HAVING MADE BEAUTIFUL WORK.
AND IT'S A PLACE TO LEARN AND, UH, OPEN YOUR EYES AND DISCOVER THINGS.
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE EXPERIENCE OF COMING TO THE ROOF IS ALL ABOUT.
WHEN YOU COME TO THE MOLO FOUNDATION, IT'S REALLY A PLACE THAT'S DEDICATED TO THE IDEA OF OUR CREATIVE SPIRITS, UH, BOTH IN SAM AND IN THE LIVES OF SAM AND ALFREDA.
UH, MALO, WE FIND AN EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED BY THEIR ART, UH, COLLECTED, ART CREATED, UH, UH, AND MADE THEIR LIVES FROM THE MAKING OF ART.
UH, AND IT'S THAT SPIRIT THAT WE LIKE TO SHARE WITH FOLKS.
YOU COME HERE AND GET YOUR, UH, GET YOUR SPIRIT REJUVENATED.
YOU FEEL, AGAIN, LIKE A CREATIVE, UH, HUMAN BEING WHO CAN, UH, FACE THE REST OF THE WORLD WHEN YOU GO HOME.
THE MALOOF HOUSE IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, UH, TWO DAYS A WEEK ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS, WE HAVE TOURS OF THE HISTORIC HOME AVAILABLE.
OUR GARDEN AND GALLERY ARE ALWAYS FREE TO EVERYONE.
YOU DON'T NEED A RESERVATION TO COME.
OURS ARE 10 TO FOUR ON BOTH FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
AND, UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING FOLKS.
IT IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST, UM, ASSIST TRAINING THAT WE'VE DONE WITH YOUTH IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
SO THAT'S BEEN, I THINK, SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I THINK WORKING WITH YOUTH, YOU
[02:10:01]
LEARN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.UM, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BRING THESE TRAININGS TO YOUTH AND NOT JUST TO ADULTS, BECAUSE WE KNOW NOW THAT YOUTH ARE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
UM, AND WE KNOW THAT BY PROVIDING THEM THESE WORKSHOPS, THEY GAIN THE SKILLS THAT THEY NEED NOT ONLY TO HELP THEMSELVES, BUT THEY CAN ALSO HELP OTHERS.
THEY CAN HELP THEIR PEERS, FRIENDS, HECK, EVEN STRANGERS THAT THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY INTERACT WITH ON THEIR DAILY LIVES, BUT THEY'LL, THEY'LL BE TRAINED ON HOW TO HELP.
I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO TAKE HOME THE LIKE THREE STEP MODEL WITH UNDERSTANDING, CONNECTING, AND THEN TRYING TO MAKE A PLAN TO BE GOOD.
FOR NOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY SO WE CAN HAVE LIKE A SUICIDE SAFE SOCIETY.
IT WAS NICE TO HAVE AN ACTUAL LIKE, GUIDELINE FOR WHAT EXACTLY TO DO THAT IS, UM, RESEARCH DRIVEN AND, UH, DATA PROVEN.
AND THEN AGAIN, UM, ACTUALLY SITTING DOWN AND DOING THESE SCENARIOS, THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST HELPFUL.
NEXT TO ACTUALLY HAVING THE GUIDELINES.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS IS THIS KIND OF PEER-TO-PEER POINT CONTACT THAT NOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE IMMERSED WITHIN THE SCHOOL SITES, WITHIN THE FRIEND GROUPS, WITHIN THE LEISURE SPOTS THAT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THINGS, AND THAT CAN MAKE THOSE REFERRALS, THOSE LINKS, THOSE CONNECTIONS THAT ACTUALLY AREN'T AFRAID TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
UM, SOME FEELINGS THAT CAME UP FOR ME DURING THE TRAINING, JOY BECAUSE AS A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN, UM, GOING THROUGH SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, UM, LEARNING HOW I COULD HELP OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN, UH, WHO ARE GOING THROUGH AND HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THESE KINDS OF THINGS, I COULD HELP THEM OUT.
I FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH STARTING THE CONVERSATION WITH PEERS AND ALSO, UM, TEACHERS AND, UM, OTHER PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOLS.
FIRST THING, WE KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE.
THERE ARE SO MANY ORGANIZATION IN THIS COMMUNITY WILLING TO LEND A HELPING HAND TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE KNOW THAT, UH, IN THE FUTURE WE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP OUT EACH OTHER AND ALL THE STUDENTS HERE TODAY, THEY KNOW THAT THERE MORE RESOURCE IN THIS COMMUNITY THEY CAN GO TO WHEN IT'S NEEDED, BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT WE EXIST.
IT, IT'S BEEN SUCH A JOY TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH HEALTHY RRC AND JUST THE CITY AT LARGE, AND TO SEE THAT A CITY IS REALLY THAT INVESTED IN IT'S COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT POCKETS AND ACTIVITIES AND COMMITTEES AND THINGS AVAILABLE TO THEM.
SO WHAT, UM, OUR TEAM AND HEALTHY S-B-C-S-S IS COMMITTED TO DOING IS REALLY TAPPING INTO THE LOCAL RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US.
AND, UM, SPOTLIGHTING, UPLIFTING, AND REALLY, UM, ALIGNING THE WORK THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US AT THE COUNTY OFFICE THROUGH TRAINEES, RESOURCES, SUPPORT, NOT ONLY FROM THE COUNTY OFFICE, BUT ACROSS THE STATE.
WE REALLY JUST WORK TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY TO EMPOWER STAFF AND STUDENTS NOW AND MEETING THE NEEDS OF THOSE THAT ARE IN OUR IMMEDIATE CARE.
WE'RE ON THE CORNER OF NINTH AND BAKER HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND WE'RE WITH THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PARTNERING WITH MUSIC, CHANGING LIVES AND THE LOS AMIGOS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO REALLY BEAUTIFY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'RE HERE TODAY WITH ALL THESE ARTISTS THAT HAVE COME TOGETHER TO REALLY, UM, CREATE A VIBRANT COMMUNITY BY PAINTING SIDEWALK ART ALL ALONG THE ROUTES TO SCHOOL.
THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS WELCOMED THE CITY WITH OPEN ARMS IN THIS PARTNERSHIP TO CREATE A SENSE OF, UM, OWNERSHIP AND IDENTITY FOR THE SCHOOL.
AND AS A CITY, WE REALLY VALUE CREATING COMMUNITY, AND THAT MEANS BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS, FINDINGS, UM, YOU KNOW, ASKING FAMILIES WHAT THEY, THEY WANNA SEE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND CREATING A SENSE OF IDENTITY AND, AND, UM, AND JUST VOICE AND, AND JUST ALL AROUND, UH, CREATING A A HEALTHY, VIBRANT, THRIVING COMMUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO ENJOY.
THIS PROJECT IS A MURAL THAT WAS BUILT TO BRING COMPASSION, LOVE, KINDNESS TO THE COMMUNITY AS KIDS COME BACK TO SCHOOL AND GIVE THEM A, A PATHWAY OF HOPE.
UH, AS WELL, WE BROUGHT OUT ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT ARTISTS TO WORK WITH US ALL THROUGHOUT
[02:15:01]
SOUTH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO BASICALLY LIGHTEN UP THIS AREA HERE.OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOY.
UM, WE HAVE SO APPRECIATED THE PROCESS OF THE CITY COMING IN AND LISTENING TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THEN RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS THAT ARE HERE.
SO IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO SEE THE CONNECTION THAT'S OCCURRED FROM THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL WITH THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE'RE HERE TODAY SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THAT CONNECTION WITH PAINTING THE INTERSECTION AND CELEBRATING AND TAKING A PIECE OF THE STREET THAT'S NORMALLY PRETTY MUNDANE AND MAKING IT PRETTY AMAZING, WHICH THE CITY'S BEEN ABLE TO DO.
AND IT'S JUST, PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ALL OVER THE PLACE, WHAT'S GOING ON AT LOS AMIGOS? WHAT'S HAPPENING? WELL, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY HAS BEEN THAT ANSWER.
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR US TO JUST LIVEN OUR AREA AND ALLOW OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW THEY'RE WELCOME TO GO AROUND AND SEE, UH, THESE INCREDIBLE MURALS, UH, ON THE SIDEWALKS.
SEE THE INTENTIONALITY THAT THIS SCHOOL, UH, ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS HAS PUT INTO THIS COMMUNITY, UH, IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE INSPIRING.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU JUST DON'T SEE, UH, IN OTHER COMMUNITIES, UH, EVEN HERE WITHIN RANCHO, UH, WITH THE, ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS COMING TOGETHER, THE SCHOOL COMING TOGETHER, SEVERAL NON-PROFIT PARTNERS WITH THE CITY.
I MEAN, IT'S REALLY PRETTY COOL.
AND I THINK WHEN THE KIDS COME BACK HERE SOON, THEY'RE GONNA JUST BE AN AMAZEMENT, UH, THAT THEIR CAMPUS HAS JUST BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO THIS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PIECE OF ART.
SO FOR THIS DESIGN, THE COLORS, UM, BRINGS DIVERSITY OF THE, UM, THE BRIGHTNESS OF THIS, UH, COMMUNITY.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE SCHOOL IN FRONT OF IT, UH, LOS DOMINGUEZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
IT BRINGS LIKE, I FEEL LIKE IT BRINGS HAPPINESS AND JOY, ESPECIALLY LIKE KIDS AND EVERYONE LIKE, UH, JOINING TOGETHER.
UM, IT JUST BRINGS PASSION TO EVERYONE TO LIKE, JUST TO GIVE YOU A SMILE.
WELL, IT'S SO MUCH TO LOOK AT AND YOU JUST WANNA SAY, WELL, GEE, WHO DONE ALL OF THIS? YOU KNOW, AND THEN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THE CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS HELPED, IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD INSIDE.
I LIVE HERE, UH, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND, UM, THIS IS SO, SO WONDERFUL TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, TO SEE ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL ART TO WORK, UM, WITH THESE TALENTED ARTISTS.
WE ARE FOCUSING ON, ON KINDNESS AND IN INCLUSIVITY.
SO ALL THE MESSAGING ON THE, UH, THE, THE, UH, SIDEWALK, ALL THE ART SPEAKS TO THAT, UM, KINDNESS AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND EMPOWERING THE KIDS TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN BE THE BEST.
WHATEVER THEY WANNA DO, THEY CAN DO IT.
THERE'S, THERE'S NO BARRIERS, UM, STANDING, UM, IN FRONT OF THEM BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT WILL SUPPORT THEIR EFFORT.
UM, SOMETIMES WHEN I'M SAD I LOOK AT THE DRAWINGS, THEY JUST MAKE ME FEEL HAPPY WHEN I SEE LIKE THOSE LIKE FILMS THAT ARE LIKE, SAME, SAME MESSAGES THAT PEOPLE APPRECIATE.
FOR ME, I LIKE IT BECAUSE, UM, IT'S LIKE, IT SAYS MESSAGES AND I LIKE READING MESSAGES AND ALSO SOME OF THE COLORS ARE MY FAVORITE COLORS.
UM, AND I JUST LIKE TO SEE THEM.
'CAUSE ONE OF THEM SHOWS PEACE AND IT SAYS, UM, A MESSAGE, BUT I FORGOT ABOUT IT.
AND THAT I LIKE TO DO THE PEACE SIGN BECAUSE IT SHOWS LIKE PEACE, LOVE.
I LOVED THE FEELING THAT IT GAVE ME AS SOON AS I SAW IT.
AND SO I JUST AM IMAGINING OUR STUDENTS WALKING ON CAMPUS, UM, WALKING ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL AND SEEING ALL OF THE HAPPINESS, ALL THE BRIGHT COLORS AND THE MESSAGING, SO MUCH POSITIVITY IN THE MESSAGE.
UM, KINDNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, UM, AND JUST FUN.
JUST A LOT OF FUN COMING THROUGH ALL OF THE ARTWORK AS WELL.
ALONG NINTH STREET, WE'VE INTRODUCED, UM, FOUR PRIMARY THINGS.
UM, ONE OF THEM IS THE EDGE LINE THAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE CURB.
UM, THAT IS TYPICALLY EIGHT TO NINE FEET OFF OF THE CURB, AND IT'S TO KIND OF REALLY TAKE UP THE SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET WHERE THE CARS ARE PARKED NORMALLY.
[02:20:01]
UM, AND IT'S TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE THE LANE IS, WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE CENTER MEDIAN.UM, THE YELLOW LINES THAT YOU SEE, DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, AND THE, THE, THE CIRCLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IS SUPPOSED TO NARROW UP THE LANES, MAKE THE DRIVERS FEEL A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER, UH, AND FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULDN'T SPEED SO MUCH.
THE OTHER ELEMENTS, INCLUDING THE BULB OUTS, UH, THAT YOU SEE WITH THE FLEXIBLE POSTS ON THE GROUND, UM, THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO ALLOW THE PEDESTRIANS TO SAFELY WALK OFF THE CURB AND, YOU KNOW, BE IN THE DRIVER'S CONE OF VISION A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, YOU KNOW, MORE DIRECTLY.
AND THAT WAY THEY HAVE A SHORTER DISTANCE ACROSS, FIRST OF ALL, AND THE DRIVER IS ABLE TO SEE THEM A LOT, A LOT MORE CLEARER.
THE TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE HELP HAS BEEN HELPING A LOT BECAUSE BEFORE THEY WEREN'T EVEN IN THERE.
CARS WOULD JUST ZOOM BY EVEN WHEN THE KIDS WERE GETTING OUTTA SCHOOL.
NOW THAT THEY'RE IN PLACE, IT'S SLOWING THEM DOWN TO WHERE THE KIDS SEEM SAFER TO WALK BY WITHOUT HAVING TO RUN ACROSS THE STREET OR, YOU KNOW, THINKING THEY'RE GONNA GET HIT.
SO IT'S, I I IT'S BEEN A GOOD IMPACT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ALL OF OUR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE GIFTED US WITH THINGS, UM, AS WELL AS HEALTHY RC AND PARTNERING WITH US EVERY TIME, BECAUSE EACH YEAR IT'S SOMETHING NEW, IT'S SOMETHING FUN.
THE KIDS CAN, YOU KNOW, GATHER AROUND AND GET ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT.
I'M A STATE INSTRUCTOR FOR THE PROGRAM.
LITOS IS A BASIC TRAINING IN PREPARATION FOR DISASTERS OR EMERGENCIES.
OUR FOCUS POINT IS TO EDUCATE THE FAMILY.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE EIGHT TO 10 INSTRUCTORS THAT ARE DOING THIS AND BRINGING IT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
WE THANK RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR BRINGING THIS, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO COME OUT AND TEACH OUR COMMUNITY.
WE ARE CURRENTLY AT THE LOS ALAMITOS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND WE HAVE A GROUP OF 15 FOLKS THAT ARE TAKING THIS CLASS.
STARTED YESTERDAY AND FINISHED TODAY.
WE AS IN THE INDIVIDUALS GOING THROUGH AN INSTRUCTION TO BECOME INSTRUCTORS.
WE BUILD A BOND 'CAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS AT FIRST, AND WE HELP EACH OTHER OUT.
AND BY HELPING EACH OTHER OUT, WE REINFORCE OUR THINKING, AND THAT'S THE SAME IDEA AS INTO WHAT WE DO WITH THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THE TRAINING.
SO IT, IT'S BENEFICIAL TO WORK WITH THE INSTRUCTORS, KNOW THEIR QUIRKS AND THEIR HABITS AND ALL, AND THEN WE CAN MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT IF WE ARE EVER IN A TEAM TRAINING SOMEBODY.
AND WE COULD GIVE THEM THE BEST AND, UH, AND ASSURE OUR, OUR GROUP AND THE PEOPLE WE'RE TRAINING THAT THEY HAVE GOT THE BEST TRAINING THEY COULD HAVE.
