ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'M MORGAN CHAVEZ.

AND TONIGHT KIMBERLY CHICON AND I ARE EXCITED TO SHARE RANCH CUCAMONGA RANKINGS IN THE 2026 WALLET HUB'S.

BEST AND WORST PLACES TO RAISE A FAMILY FOR THIS ANALYSIS.

WALLET HUB COMPARED 182 CITIES TO IDENTIFY WHICH CITIES ARE HOME TO THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN AMERICA.

RANCH CUCAMONGA RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE, NUMBER FIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND NUMBER 10 IN CALIFORNIA, AND 43 IN THE US.

THEIR RANKINGS WERE BASED ON FIVE KEY CATEGORIES, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SCREEN.

FAMILY, FUN, HEALTH AND SAFETY, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, AFFORDABILITY, AND SOCIOECONOMICS IN THE FAMILY FUND CATEGORY, THE CITY RANKED NUMBER SIX IN THE INLAND EMPIRE BASED ON METRICS AS ITS IDEAL WEATHER.

SHARE OUR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND RECREATION FRIENDLINESS IN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CATEGORY.

THE CITY RANKED NUMBER TWO IN THE INLAND EMPIRE WITH STRONG SCORES AND PROPERTY CRIME RATE, AIR AND WALLET WA WATER QUALITY IN THE EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE CATEGORY.

THE CITY RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE ATTRIBUTED TO SCHOOL SYSTEM QUALITY TRIAL, DAYCARE SERVICES, AND PARENTAL LEAVE POLICIES.

IN THE AFFORDABILITY CATEGORY, THE CITY RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE, THANKS TO METRICS SUCH AS COST OF LIVING, HOUSING, AFFORDABILITY, AND WALLET WELLNESS.

AND FINALLY, THE CITY RANKED NUMBER ONE IN IN THE EMPIRE IN THE SOCIOECONOMIC CATEGORY, LARGELY BASED ON SHARE OF TWO PARENT FAMILIES AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.

KEY INDICATORS OF FAMILY FUN INCLUDE PLAYGROUNDS PER CAPITA, PARKLAND, ACREAGE PER CAPITA, WALKABILITY, RECREATION, FRIENDLINESS, SHARE OF FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN.

AVERAGE COMMUTE TIME WITH OVER 30

[00:10:01]

RANCH CUCAMONGA EARN TOP MARKS FOR FAMILY FUN.

THE CITY CONTINUES TO ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH EXCITING NEW AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS. THE CITY RECENTLY CELEBRATED THE GRAND REOPENING OF THE BANK OF AMERICA IMAGINATION COURTYARD AT THE VICTORIA GARDENS CULTURAL CENTER, THE NEW HERITAGE COMMUNITY PARK BRIDGE AND THE NEWLY RENOVATED PLAYGROUND AND MOUNTAIN VIEW PARK FURTHERING THE CITY'S VISION TO IMPROVE, TO PROVIDE SAFE AND INCLUSIVE AREAS FOR ALL.

KEY INDICATORS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY INCLUDE AIR QUALITY AND WATER QUALITY, ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS, VIOLENT CRIME RATE PER CAPITA PROPERTY, CRIME RATE PER CAPITA DRIVING FACILITIES PER CAPITA RANCH CUCAMONGA CONTINUES TO MAKE GREAT STRIDES TOWARDS BUILDING AN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND VIBRANT CITY RICH IN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALTO THRIVE.

FROM THE GROWING USE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND SOLAR ENERGY TO ACCESS TO FRESH LOCAL PRODUCE THROUGH FARMERS' MARKETS AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORES, SUSTAINABILITY AND WELL MAINTAINED TOP PRIORITIES.

RECENT ENHANCEMENT INCLUDE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FIREBIRD EARLY WILDFIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS AND THE HELLO POD, A FIREFIGHTING DIP TANK TO SUPPORT WIRE WILDFIRE DETECTION AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE RANCH CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED AEDS AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S PATROL VEHICLES MARKET AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS IN IMPROVING CARDIAC ARREST OUTCOMES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

KEY INDICATORS OF EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE INCLUDE SCHOOL SYSTEM QUALITY, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE, CHILDCARE COSTS, CHILD DAYCARE SERVICES PER CAPITA AND SUMMER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PER CAPITA.

OUT OF 58,230 HOUSEHOLDS IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, 33.8% INCLUDE CHILDREN.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS KNOWN FOR ITS DISTINGUISHED AND AWARD-WINNING SCHOOLS.

OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS INCLUDE ALTA LOMA TWANDA, CUCAMONGA CENTRAL DISTRICTS, AND CHAFFEE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES ARE ON THE RISE FOR CHAFFEE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT.

CURRENTLY AT 91.8% AND 40.4% OF PEOPLE AGED 25 OR OLDER HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER.

KEY INDICATORS OF AFFORDABILITY INCLUDE COST OF LIVING, HOUSING, AFFORDABILITY, AND WALLET WELLNESS.

THE INLAND, THE INLAND EMPIRE CONTINUES TO BE A CHOICE FOR MANY FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF LARGE HOUSING MARKETS AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA.

MANY HOUSEHOLDS ARE SEEKING PLACES WHERE THEY CAN ENJOY A COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE WITHOUT OVERWHELMING HOUSING COSTS.

AND OUR REGION CONTINUES TO MEET THAT NEED IN OUR CITY.

THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS JUST OVER $117,000.

THE MEDIAN HOME VALUE IS $731,426 COMPARED TO $880,000 IN LA COUNTY, AND OVER 1 MILLION IN ORANGE COUNTY MAKING RANCHO CUCAMONGA A MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE OPTION.

ADDITIONALLY, 59.7% OF OUR RESIDENTS OWN THEIR HOME.

THIS IS A STRONG INDICATOR OF BOTH AFFORDABILITY AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT WALLET HUB'S.

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY METRIC HELPS REINFORCE THIS PICTURE.

IT LOOKS AT THE RATIO OF MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME TO HOUSING COSTS, GIVING US A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ATTAINABLE HOME OWNERSHIP AND STABLE HOUSING TRULY ARE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

SINCE INCORPORATION, THE CITY HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A DIVERSE MIX OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLDS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS.

THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PRIORITY TODAY, ESPECIALLY AS HOME PRICES ACROSS THE REGION AND STATE CONTINUE TO RISE.

ENSURING THAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA REMAINS AN AFFORDABLE AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY IS CENTRAL TO OUR PLANNING EFFORTS.

KEY INDICATORS OF SOCIOECONOMICS INCLUDE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND SHARE OF TWO PARENT FAMILIES.

THE CITY'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS A LOW 4.5%, WHICH POINTS TO A STRONG AND HEALTHY JOB MARKET, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE COUNTYWIDE RATE OF 5.5%.

THIS REFLECTS A COMMUNITY WHERE RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND ECONOMIC STABILITY.

ADDITIONALLY, 66.2% OF HOUSEHOLDS IN THE CITY ARE TWO PARENT FAMILIES.

THIS METRIC IS OFTEN USED TO HELP UNDERSTAND HOUSEHOLD STABILITY AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS WITHIN A COMMUNITY.

TOGETHER THESE INDICATORS HIGHLIGHT A SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THAT IS RESILIENT AND SUPPORTIVE OF FAMILIES.

IN CLOSING, RANCHO CUCAMONGA CONTINUES THE PATH TOWARD BUILDING A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY.

ONE THAT REFLECTS OUR VISION FROM THE PAST, STRENGTHENS THE PRESENT, AND PREPARES US FOR A THRIVING FUTURE.

THIS LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO QUALITY OF LIFE, THOUGHTFUL GROWTH, AND STRONG

[00:15:01]

THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

MORGAN AND I ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU BOTH MORGAN AND KIMBERLY FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.

PRETTY EXCITING NEWS.

UM, ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

UM, YOU CAN BE VERY PROUD OF ALL THE WORK THAT ALL OF YOU DO.

WE PROVIDE THE POLICY AND DIRECTION, BUT YOU, YOU FOLKS ARE THE ONES THAT IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMS AND, AND POLICIES THAT WE HAVE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

OUR LAST PRESENTATION IS A PRESENTATION BY THE CITY RANCHO CU CUCAMONGA AT, AT

[B3. The City of Rancho Cucamonga Designated as a HEARTSafe Community.]

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD OUR DEPUTY CHIEF FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT, CHAD CAMU AND OUR EMS ADMINISTRATOR, SANDY GRIFFIN.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY LEADERSHIP, UH, VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU, UH, SOME GREAT NEWS COMING OUT OF, UH, THE FIRE DISTRICT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY FOR OUR CITY AS A WHOLE.

UM, THIS ROOM AND THIS LEADERSHIP HAS SUPPORTED PARAMEDIC SERVICES FOR OVER 30 YEARS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND HAS MADE A HUGE IMPACT OVER THE YEARS ON COUNTLESS LIVES.

UM, HOWEVER, THOSE IMPORTANT SKILLS AND THAT PIECE OF THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL IS JUST ONE PIECE.

AND OVER THE LAST DECADE, THERE'S BEEN A CONCERTED EFFORT, UH, BY OUR ENTIRE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR EMS TEAM.

AND, UH, WE HAVE HAD INCREDIBLE SUCCESS IN, UH, THE SURVIVAL RATES HERE.

AND TO SPEAK MORE ON THAT AND, UH, TELL YOU ABOUT THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD OF BEING DESIGNATED A HEART SAFE COMMUNITY, OUR EMS NURSE ADMINISTRATOR, SANDY, IS GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH YOU.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, THIS IS, UH, SUCH EXCITING NEWS FOR US.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND WE ARE VERY PROUD AND HONORED TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT, UH, THIS YEAR WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE, UM, UH, DESIGNATION OF THE HEART SAFE COMMUNITY.

AND SO I'M GONNA SHARE WITH YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UH, WHAT THAT MEANS.

SO, UM, A DESIGNATION LIKE THIS IS, UM, A COLLABORATION OF WORK FROM MANY, UH, PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST, UM, OUR FIRE DISTRICT AND THE CITY EMPLOYEES, BUT EVEN ALL OF OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SCHOOLS AND, UH, EVEN OUR SHERIFF'S PARTNERS.

THEY ALL HAVE A PART IN THIS GETTING US HERE.

UM, ONE OF THE, UH, THINGS IN THE CRITERIA THAT, UM, THAT'S REQUIRED IS THINGS HAVE TO BE MEASURABLE.

THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT DATA, THEY HAVE TO SEE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SUSTAINABLE AND REPEATABLE AND IS SOMETHING THAT IS A PLAN IN PLACE THAT IS, UM, AVAILABLE, BE SEEN HOW IT WORKS.

SO, UM, THE CRITERIA IS THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC 13, UH, WHICH I WON'T GO OVER ALL OF 'EM, BUT IN GENERAL, THE CRITERIA SPANS FROM, UM, THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL.

SO FROM EARLY RECOGNITION, COMMUNITY EDUCATION TO, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVING AEDS IN THE, IN THE, UH, CITY TO HAVING, UH, CITIZENS TRAINED IN CPR THAT OUR DISPATCH CENTER IS, UH, TRAINED IN EARLY RECOGNITION AND GIVING GOOD INSTRUCTIONS ON A CARDIAC ARREST PATIENT.

AND THEN OF COURSE, UH, WHEN WE GET THERE THAT WE, WE, UH, DO EXCELLENT CARE WHEN WE GET THERE.

SO ALL THAT HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A LITTLE GRAPH, AND WE TALKED ABOUT SURVIVAL RATES A COUPLE TIMES TONIGHT, BUT, UM, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE HARD WORK.

THIS IS, UM, A SPECIFICALLY IN 2025, OUR STEIN SURVIVAL RATE, WHICH MEANS A VERY NARROW CRITERIA OF A CARDIAC ARREST PATIENT.

AND IN THIS CASE, YOU CAN SEE WE'RE SO PROUD THAT IF YOU LOOK AT, AT WHAT RANCHO HAS DONE, WE HAVE ALMOST A 50% SURVIVAL OF A PERSON IN THAT IS 47.3.

SO, UM, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

THAT MEANS IT WAS A WITNESS ARREST.

THEY HAD A V-FIB ARREST.

UM, AND, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT, THAT OUR COUNTY, WE, WE DO A GOOD JOB TOO, BUT WE, WE ALL BEAT THE NATIONAL AND THE STATE, UH, AVERAGES.

SO, UH, SOMETHING TO BE VERY PROUD OF.

I, I AM, I'LL SAY THAT A LOT TONIGHT, .

UM, ANYWAYS, UM, COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS, THAT'S ANOTHER BIG PART OF OUR, UM, UH, BEING A HEART SAFE DESIGNATED COMMUNITY IN THAT WE TRAIN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY YEAR IN CPR.

AND THIS IS A CUMULATIVE, FOR MANY YEARS WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS AND WE HAVE TRAINED A LOT OF PEOPLE.

ALMOST 26% OF YOUR COMMUNITY IS TRAINED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IN CPR.

AND THAT

[00:20:01]

AND A LOT OF OUR, UM, CPR INSTRUCTORS ARE ACTUALLY UNDER THE FIRE SERVICE.

BUT, UH, NOT ALL.

WE HAVE MANY MORE.

AND SO THAT GIVES US A, A HUGE ADVANTAGE THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE TRAINED AND WILLING.

AND AGAIN, I'LL, I'LL SHARE WITH YOU THAT IF, IF YOU DON'T KNOW CPR GET TRAINED, AND THIS IS THE WEBSITE TO GO AND REGISTER FOR A CLASS, WE PUT THOSE ON HERE.

UH, MORE FORMAL TRAINING FOR ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE, UH, AND I'LL, I'LL BRING THAT BACK AT THE END.

UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT WEBSITE AGAIN.

ANOTHER BIG, UH, GOAL THAT, UH, WAS MENTIONED IN AN EARLIER PRESENTATION WAS THE AEDS.

GETTING AEDS AVAILABLE IS KEY.

NOT JUST HAVING THEM, BUT HAVING THEM AVAILABLE AND PUTTING 'EM IN PLACES STRATEGICALLY, LIKE IN OUR SHERIFF'S PARTNERS.

UM, THAT IS FANTASTIC AND IT GETS PEOPLE, UH, THE HELP THEY NEED EARLY.

UM, THE OTHER THING IS WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING A LOT NOW ON GETTING THE LOCAL BUSINESSES TO HAVE AEDS.

MANY OF THEM DO, BUT THERE'S A NUMBER THAT DON'T AND SOME THAT DO THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW.

SO WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO GET ALL THOSE ON THE, UH, APP, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT AT THE END, BUT IT'S, UM, ANOTHER, UM, JUST PART OF OUR GOAL TO GET AEDS AVAILABLE.

UM, AND SO THEN LASTLY, I'D LIKE TO SHARE, UM, HOW RARE IS THIS DESIGNATION? AND THERE'S, UM, REALLY THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 600 CITIES OR TOWNS IN OUR NATION THAT HAVE THIS DESIGNATION.

SO IT'S, UH, FEWER THAN 3%.

SO, UM, WE, WE ARE VERY, VERY PROUD.

UH, AND THEN MOVING ON TO ANOTHER SECTION THAT, BUT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS NOW.

WE'VE HAD THIS DESIGNATION, ANOTHER A DIFFERENT AWARD, WHICH IS A MISSION LIFELINE GOAL, WHICH WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED THROUGH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AND WE'VE MAINTAINED THIS SINCE WE, UH, STARTED MANY YEARS AGO.

BUT THEY, IT, IT'S MORE OF IT FEEDS INTO THE HEART SAFE COMMUNITY DESIGNATION IN THAT WE CONSISTENTLY TREAT CARDIAC ARREST AND CHEST PAINS WITH THE PROPER CARE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND GET 'EM TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

AND THAT'S WHAT THAT AWARD MEANS ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN MY SHAMELESS PLUG, YOU CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PULSEPOINT DOWNLOADED.

UH, WE WANT YOU TO DOWNLOAD IT.

THERE'S THE QR CODE, OR, UH, AS I SAID EARLIER, IF YOU'D LIKE TO REGISTER FOR A CPR CLASS, WE HAVE THE, YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO GET YOU REGISTERED.

UM, IF YOU HAVE GROUPS THAT NEED IT, PLEASE REACH OUT.

WE'LL, WE JUST TRAINED 50, UH, TEACHERS TODAY, SO WE'RE ALWAYS, UH, WILLING TO GO OUT AND TEACH AND, UH, MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN FOR YOU.

AND THEN LAST, UH, JUST, UH, THE PULSE POINT.

A ED IS ALSO, LIKE PULSEPOINT IS THE APP THAT WILL SEND YOU TO A CARDIAC ARREST.

PULSEPOINT, A ED WILL DIRECT YOU TO THE CLOSEST A ED.

SO WE WOULD LOVE FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE BOTH OF THOSE APPS.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY, UM, UH, THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD, UH, ADD ANY A ED SOMEWHERE, WE'D LIKE IT, UM, A PICTURE, UH, AND THEN PUT IN THE APP AND THEN WE CAN GET IT ON THE, ON THE, UM, WEBSITE TO HAVE IT, HAVE YOU DIRECTED TO IT IF YOU SHOULD NEED IT.

AND THAT IS IT.

SO IF YOU, WITH THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF KAMO OR I, WONDERFUL, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT WORK OVER A MANY YEARS.

BUT, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY, WE'VE ALL REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO GET SOME RECOGNITION LIKE THIS, NOT JUST A FIRE DEPARTMENT OR CITY STAFF.

MM-HMM.

IT TAKES OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, IT TAKES OUR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.

AND SO, UH, WE SHOULD REALLY BE ABLE TO APPLAUD THIS.

IN FACT, I WAS JUST THINKING, UH, IF YOU COULD POSSIBLY GIVE US THOSE, THE, THE, THE POWERPOINT AND THE POWERPOINT BEFORE THAT WOULD BE REALLY BE HELPFUL AS WE'RE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE.

YEP.

YOU CAN HAVE IT.

WE'LL GET IT TO YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS THAT, THANK YOU CHIEF KAMO AND SANDY, APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

THAT, UH, CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS THIS EVENING.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS]

THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE BUSINESS EVENINGS MEETING.

UH, AND THEN COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES OR RED LIGHT THAT'S ON THAT PODIUM OUT THERE IS THE SAME ONE THIS YEAR.

THREE MINUTES THAT WAS ON THE TIMER.

UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OUR, OUR MADAM CLERK TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE HERE WANTING TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL

[00:25:01]

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 7 0 7, THE CITY WILL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS FROM BOTH IN PERSON AND REMOTE PARTICIPANTS.

PUBLIC COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FIRST FROM THOSE ATTENDING IN PERSON, FOLLOWED BY THOSE PARTICIPATING REMOTELY TO SPEAK REMOTELY.

PLEASE USE THE RAISE HAND FEATURE OR PRESS STAR NINE BY PHONE AND PRESS STAR SIX TO UNMUTE.

AND WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO SPEAK, A MEMBER OF THE STAFF WILL CALL YOUR NAME OR ANNOUNCE THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

VERY GOOD.

WE HAVE FIVE SPEAKERS THIS, THIS EVENING.

SO OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS LIZ AONA, FOLLOWED BY JESS SANTA CRUZ.

I BELIEVE.

HELLO, I'M HERE AGAIN.

JUST OVER THE PROTEST OF THE HAMILTON'S BREWERY.

I'M PART OF THE COMMITTEE.

UM, I'M STILL COMING HERE BECAUSE I, I JUST DON'T SEE ANY RESOLUTION HERE.

I, UM, EVEN THOUGH I HEAR STUFF, I'M NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT UNTIL I SEE IT, BECAUSE I'VE JUST, IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN TOO MUCH.

IT'S WORN ON OUR PHYSICAL BEING, OUR MENTAL BEING.

WE'VE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT AND WORK INTO THIS, UM, PROTESTS, RESEARCHING, ACTUALLY PROTESTING, DOING FOOTWORK, YOU KNOW, AND I ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT HOW HARD MR. HAMILTON WORKED TO GET TO WHERE HE IS.

WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE WORK THAT WE HAVE PUT IN? DOES ANYBODY EVER CONSIDER THAT? DOES ANYBODY EVER CONSIDER THAT WE LIVE THERE 24 7 AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE ENDURED, IT'S, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE A LONG TIME AGO.

AND WE NEVER GOT IN.

WE NEVER EVEN GOT THEM TO HAVE LIKE ONE DAY CLOSED.

WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT IF IT'S NOT THE CITIES? AND WE'VE BEEN COMING HERE AND COMING HERE AND NO RESULTS.

AND RECENTLY I'M BORN AND RAISED FROM NORTHTOWN.

I'M GENERATIONAL FROM CUCAMONGA AND I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN MY COMMUNITY.

AND THE THING IS THAT I WAS GOING DOWN FARON AND RIGHT AT THE CORNER, I MEAN, RIGHT AT THE AT TIP OF FARON AND ARCHIBALD, WHAT DO I SEE THERE? IT WAS LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE TO TELL YOU THE BAD INFLUENCES THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE BREWERY, WHICH FUNCTIONS AS A BAR.

IT'S A BAR, A FREAKING TOBACCO PLACE GOES UP RIGHT THERE AT CUCAMONGA ELEMENTARY IS RIGHT THERE.

THE JUNIOR HIGH'S RIGHT THERE.

AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER SCHOOL RIGHT SOUTH OF THAT, THAT TOBACCO PLACE THAT SELLS CRACK PIPES.

THAT SELLS FREAKING BONGS.

THANK YOU.

WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO LOOK OUT FOR NORTHTOWN? THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW.

'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY NOBODY'S DOING IT.

AFTER ALL OF THAT WORK THAT WE'VE PUT IN, IT'S A SLAP IN THE FACE TO SEE THAT WE'VE, MOST OF US BEEN TO COLLEGE AT LEAST, AND PROBABLY TOOK A SOCIOLOGY CLASS, PSYCHOLOGY CLASS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US.

SO NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THE BREWERY, NOW WE HAVE THAT.

TO ME THAT WAS, LIKE I SAID AGAIN, A SLAP IN THE FACE TO PUT THAT RIGHT THERE FOR OUR KIDS NOW.

THEIR CRACK PIPES ARE SO HANDY FOR THEM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LIKE I SAID, WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO TAKE TO TAKE CARE OF NORTHTOWN? THAT ANGERS ME BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, NOBODY'S LOOKING OUT FOR US.

NOBODY IS.

PUT THAT BREWERY THERE.

YOU KNEW THERE WAS NO AMPLE PARKING FOR THAT PLACE.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PARK AROUND US, BUT THE PEONS OF NORTHTOWN, THE DUMB MEXICANS, THEY WEREN'T GONNA SAY ANYTHING.

BUT YES, WE ARE.

YES WE ARE SAYING SOMETHING 'CAUSE WE'RE TIRED OF IT.

WE'RE FRUSTRATED.

IT'S TAKING A TOLL ON OUR HEALTH AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THREE MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH.

BOYCOTT HAMILTON STORY.

JESS SANTA CRUZ, FOLLOWED BY PHILLIP E WALKER.

HI, UH, I'M HERE AS SOMEBODY THAT WASN'T COMPLETELY OPPOSED TO HAMILTON BEING THERE FROM THE BEGINNING.

UM, I REGRET THAT ACTUALLY FROM DAY ONE.

I WAS ASKED TO SIGN A PETITION, SAID, LET'S WAIT AND SEE, GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

I'M ONE PERSON AND I KNEW THAT HE HAD ISSUES WITH THE OTHER SPOT THAT HE WAS IN BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT.

PEOPLE THAT GO THERE AND DRINK, THEY'RE GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE.

CAN HE CONTROL THAT? NO.

YOU WERE ELECTED TO KEEP US SAFE.

SO I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN, I DO NOT BLAME JOSH HAMILTON FOR WANTING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK.

HE SAW CHEAP BUILDING AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE.

COOL.

THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.

HE'S A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.

HE WANTS TO GROW AS LONG YOU GUYS, IF HE REALLY WANTED TO

[00:30:01]

OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT ISN'T REFLECTING THAT OF A NEIGHBORHOOD BAR.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE HE OPENED IS DISGUSTING.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME DOWN MAIN STREET AND SEE PEOPLE PEEING BY THE LITTLE SHACK THAT HE HAS.

HE COULD HAVE PUT A CAMERA UP, HE COULD HAVE PUT BETTER LIGHTING.

THERE WAS SOLUTIONS TO THESE THINGS.

AND I GET THAT HE JUST OPENED UP IN THIS NEW SPOT AND HE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER.

BUT THIS IS DISGUSTING GROWN MEN PEEING OUTSIDE OF AN ESTABLISHMENT WHERE THERE IS INDOOR PLUMBING FOR ALL OF US TO SEE.

THAT'S DISGUSTING.

I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE, UH, TWO, THREE WEEKS AGO.

I GOT TOLD GO INSIDE LOSER MY HOUSE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE HOUSE THAT I BOUGHT 10 YEARS AGO, AND I'M GETTING HARASSED.

FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT? THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND IT'S GROSS.

ONE LADY ACTUALLY TOLD ME, OH, I'M GONNA CALL THE POLICE FOR WHAT? ME STANDING ON THE CORNER OF MY STREET.

GO AHEAD.

THEY DON'T COME ANYWAY.

I CALL, THEY DON'T COME.

MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE BETTER LUCK CALL.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

IF I WALK TO THE LIQUOR STORE, I'M GETTING HARASSED ON THE WAY HOME.

FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THAT WE ARE THE NUISANCE, I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR ADDRESS DOWN AND HAVE HIM MOVE NEXT TO YOU.

FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THAT WE'RE EXAGGERATING, PUT YOUR ADDRESS DOWN.

HAMILTON CAN MOVE RIGHT IN.

LIKE I SAID, IT IS NOT HIS FAULT.

IT'S JUST THE EXISTENCE OF A BAR ON IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IT WAS SUCH A BAD IDEA.

THANK YOU.

PHILIPPI WALKER, FOLLOWED BY JULIA MORENO.

HELLO, I'M PHILIP E. WALKER.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME.

I AM A HOLLYWOOD ACTOR AND MORE THAN A DECADE RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

JULIA MORENO,

[00:35:01]

HELLO, COUNSEL.

UM, HERE I AM AGAIN.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING US AND WE'RE SICK AND TIRED OF COMING BY AND, YOU KNOW, ASKING FOR QUESTIONS.

UM, I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK, BUT THE PLACE THAT JUST OPENED UP ACROSS THE STREET, OR ACTUALLY IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE, UM, RANCHO CUCAMONGA SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IT'S ONLY LIKE A FEW DOORS DOWN.

THERE'S THAT SCHOOL UP ON NINTH STREET AND ARCHIBALD, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE OFF OF EIGHTH AND ARCHIBALD.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND YOU, YOU KNOW, OUR KIDS, THEY DON'T REALLY, WITH I GUESS A COUNCIL LIKE THIS, THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE.

PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR OUR AREA BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN THERE AND WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT FROM ALL THESE CHILDREN TO GET STUCK.

I SEE A LOT OF VIDEOS OF DRUG ADDICTIONS AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST IN LA AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER PLACES JUST BENT OVER, DRUGGED UP AND IT'S SAD TO SEE THEM THAT WAY.

I WOULD HATE FOR ANY OF OUR CHILDREN TO WIND UP IN THAT SAME SITUATION.

PLEASE HELP.

PLEASE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, IF I MIGHT, YES.

UM, IT OCCURS TO US THAT THIS MIGHT BE A BUSINESS THAT IS OPEN WITHOUT A BUSINESS LICENSE AND GOING THROUGH THE PROPER APPROVALS.

AND SO I WANNA LET, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT WE WILL SEND A COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT OUT TO CHECK ON THE SITUATION.

VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

OKAY, MICHELLE MCNEIL.

UM, I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL.

I KNOW I'M VERY NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE CITY.

WE HAVE A VERY HUMBLE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WE LEASE THE SHERIFF'S.

WHEN ARE WE GONNA HAVE OUR OWN SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WHERE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 40 MINUTES FOR A CALL? WHEN ARE WE GONNA CHANGE? WE'VE OUTGROWN OURSELVES.

WE'RE NO LONGER A TOWN.

WE'RE A CITY AND THE CITY NEEDS TO HAVE SURVEILLANCE.

SO THERE'S NO CORRUPTION.

BE IT A LIQUOR BREWERY, BE IT AT NIGHT WHEN THE TEENAGERS ARE GOING ON THE PARKS.

WE NEED MORE FIRST RESPONDERS ON BANYAN BETWEEN ROCHESTER AND HAVEN.

WE HAVE ENOUGH OF LAND THERE, NOT ONLY TO PUT A HOSPITAL, BUT ANOTHER SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT RIGHT THERE OF OUR OWN NON-LEAD THAT THEY WORK FOR US DIRECTLY.

NOW, IF WE'RE SPENDING 450,000 PLUS FOR LEASING SHERIFFS, WE WILL BE A LOT BETTER OFF IF WE SPEND A LITTLE MORE AND WE'RE MUCH SAFER FOR IT.

YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON SAFETY.

WE HAVE A FANTASTIC FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY'RE HUMBLE ABOUT IT.

SHERIFFS, GOOD LUCK.

HALF OF THESE PEOPLE SAID THEY'VE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING AND BY THE TIME THEY GET THERE, IT'S TOO LATE.

WELL, IF THAT'S THE BEGINNING SIGN, I SUGGEST WE START OUR OWN SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND IF WE'RE SPENDING 450,000 A YEAR, SPEND A LITTLE MORE AND WE COULD HAVE OUR OWN.

AND LIKE I SAID, BETWEEN BANYAN ON BANYAN BETWEEN ROCHESTER AND HAVEN, WE HAVE ENOUGH LAND THERE TO PUT A HOSPITAL.

WE HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO PUT A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

WE ALREADY HAVE ONE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

BUT HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK IT'S ENOUGH.

I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, IF THERE'S A FIRE ON HAVEN AND SOMETHING BAD IS GOING ON ROCHESTER, THE HOUSE WILL BURN BECAUSE IF THE PERSON'S HAVING A STROKE, THEY'RE THE PRIORITY IS KEEPING SOMEONE ALIVE SO THE HOUSE WILL BURN.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? I ALSO WANNA MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

I THINK THESE MEETINGS SHOULD BE TELEVISED.

SO PEOPLE IN THE CITY THAT CAN'T COME BECAUSE THEY WORK, WE NEED TO PUT IT ON CLOSED CIRCUIT TV.

CHAFFEE COLLEGE CAN DO IT.

THEY GET CREDIT

[00:40:01]

THEY'LL GET SCHOLARS SCHOLARSHIPS.

WE NEED TO START FILMING THESE MEETINGS.

IT'S IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, I MYSELF, YES, I'M SICK, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, HOW ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE? SOMEONE SAID TO ME, OH, I KNOW WHY YOU WANT THE HOSPITAL 'CAUSE YOU'RE SICK.

THAT HOSPITAL, BY THE TIME IT GETS IN AND IT'S FUNCTIONING, I'LL BE DEAD.

IT'S FOR THE FUTURE.

IT'S FOR THE OTHER GENERATIONS THAT ARE COMING UP BEHIND ME.

WE NEED TO GET .

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THAT COMPLETES OUR COMMUN PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

UNLESS THERE ARE ANY MEMBERS THAT WANT TO SPEAK TO US REMOTELY.

MADAM CLERK MAYOR, WE HAVE NO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON OUR ZOOM CALL, SO NO REMOTE PUBLIC SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.

[ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

[ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT]

ALYSSA.

THANK YOU MR. MAYOR.

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE FLAVIO NUNEZ, ONE OF OUR MANAGEMENT ANALYST

[G1. Consideration to Approve the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 2025-2026 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). (CITY)]

HE'S GONNA GIVE THE STAFF REPORT FOR THIS ITEM ON OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM.

[00:45:11]

AND GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

AS OUR CITY MANAGER HAS STATED, I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE CAPER IN WHICH I WILL BE REFERRING TO AS THE CAPER.

THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY TO CONTINUE RECEIVING ITS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS.

UM, THE CAPER HIGHLIGHTS OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS THE STRATEGIC GOALS OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HOW THESE INVESTMENTS HAVE POSITIVELY IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY AND THE RESIDENTS.

MY PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS ON A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE STAFF REPORT AND CAPER.

UM, YOU'VE, AS PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU'VE RECEIVED, UH, THE STAFF REPORT AND THE CAPER, WHICH INCLUDES A MUCH MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS.

I'LL START WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THIS REPORT INCLUDES.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE IN THE OPENING SLIDE, THE CAPER IS REQUIRED BY HUD AND MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE END OF, UH, SEPTEMBER.

THE REPORT DESCRIBES THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS MADE DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR.

IN THIS CASE, THE CAPER COVERS THE PERIODS BETWEEN JULY 1ST, 2025 THROUGH JUNE 30TH, 2026.

THE CAPER IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S THE FIRST, UH, YEAR OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN, WHICH IS OUR LARGER FIVE YEAR PLANNING DOCUMENT.

AND SO IT COVERS THAT FIRST YEAR OF THAT FIVE YEAR, UH, PLANNING DOCUMENT.

UH, THIS NEXT SLIDE PROVIDES SOME CONTEXT ON HOW THE CAPER FITS INTO THE OVERALL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF HUD.

UM, IN ORDER FOR THE CITY TO RECEIVE ITS CDBG FUNDING, WE MUST FIRST, UH, UH, APPROVE AND ADOPT A FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

AND THEN EACH YEAR AFTER THAT WE DO AN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.

AND WE COME TO YOU WITH THAT APPROVAL USUALLY IN APRIL, WHICH OUTLINES HOW THE CITY'S GONNA SPEND ITS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS OVER THE, THE NEXT YEAR.

THE CAPER, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF TONIGHT'S, UH, MEETING IS, UH, AGAIN A SUMMARY OF WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR.

UM, PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING INCLUDES COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND SO ON AUGUST 17TH, UM, THE CITY PUT A NOTICE IN THE PAPER INFORMING THE PUBLIC THAT, UH, WE WILL BE HOSTING A PUBLIC HEARING MEETING AS WELL AS MAKING THE DOCUMENT AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT AND REVIEW.

THE CAPER WAS ALSO PUBLISHED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW, AND THIS PUBLIC HEARING ALSO GIVES THE COMMUNITY ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANY FEEDBACK OR COMMENT.

AS OF TODAY, WE'VE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS ON THE CAPER.

UH, THIS IS A, THIS SLIDE NEXT SHOWS, UH, THE HIGH LEVEL BUDGET, UH, FOR THE PROGRAM FOR THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR.

YOUR STAFF REPORT AND CONS AND CONSOLIDATED, UM, OR EXCUSE ME, THE CAPER HAS MUCH MORE DETAIL ON THE PROJECT, ACTIVITIES, COSTS AND EXPENDITURES.

BUT IN SUMMARY, THE CDBG ALLOCATION THAT THE CITY RECEIVED FROM HUD IS JUST OVER 1,000,001 MILLION 45,705 TO BE EXACT.

WE HAD, UH, PRIOR YEAR FUNDS OF 279,794 FOR A TOTAL OF 1.3, UH, EXCUSE ME, $1,325,499 FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM FOR THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR 25 26.

UM, THESE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS, UH, THAT ARE COMING FROM THE CAPER.

UH, I'LL JUST READ A FEW OF THEM HERE.

UH, WE PROVIDED 81 RESIDENTS WITH FAIR HOUSING SERVICES.

WE PROVIDED HEALTHY MEALS TO 97, UH, SENIORS.

WE PROVIDED FOOD BANK SERVICES AND NUTRITIONAL SERVICES TO 350 RESIDENTS.

UH, WE PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO THOSE FACING HOMELESSNESS AND AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS.

UH, WE DID, UH, 15 HOME REHABILITATION PROGRAMS. WE ASSISTED FOR DAYCARE BUSINESSES AS PART OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THROUGH CDBG.
