THANK YOU.

UH, MAYOR PRO TEM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE, UH, THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU, UH, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED TIME.

WE HAVE A LOT WE COULD TALK ABOUT.

WE'RE GONNA TOUCH ON JUST A FEW THINGS AND I BROUGHT SOME OF MY PARTNERS IN CRIME, SO TO SPEAK, AS YOU KNOW, HERE TO HELP ME.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO MAKE WHAT WE DO AT GO CAL OPERATE.

I WANTED TO LET START THE FESTIVITIES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF KEY POINTS.

GO, CAL IS FUNDED THROUGH AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT.

NO CITY MONEY AND NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE USED TO FUND OUR ACTIVITIES.

SO ANYTHING YOU SEE HERE TODAY, UH, WAS PURELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY AND, UH, THE, UH, THOSE THAT WE SERVE IN OUR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT.

SO I'LL START THERE AND THEN I'M GONNA INTRODUCE KELSEY, WHO'S GONNA KICK OFF OUR PRESENTATION.

HI GUYS.

I'M FIRST EXCITED TO KINDA TALK YOU THROUGH THE RESTAURANT MONTH ACTIVATION.

WE HAD, UH, THE MONTH OF JULY.

IT RAN JULY 1ST THROUGH THE 31ST.

UM, AND WE PARTNERED WITH RESTAURANTS FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND ONTARIO TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR BUSINESSES, DRIVE FOOT TRAFFIC.

UM, AND WE ALSO INCENTIVIZED IT BY GIVING AWAY PRIZES FOR THE MORE RESTAURANTS THEY VISITED.

UM, THE MORE ENTRIES THEY GOT INTO SOME PRETTY COOL PRIZES, WHICH INCLUDED TICKETS TO EVENTS, TOYOTA ARENA, UM, OPPORTUNITIES, UH, TO GET A SUITE TO A RANCHO CUCAMONGA QUAKES GAME, AS WELL AS HOSPITALITY PASSES TO OUR CRUISING REUNION.

COMING UP THIS WEEKEND IN CELEBRATION OF THE HUNDRED YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OUR MOTHER ROAD, UM, WE USED A NEW DIGITAL PASSPORT PROGRAM THIS YEAR AND WE SAW OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE DOWNLOAD AND USE THAT ALL THE WAY FROM LOS ANGELES TO HESPERIA.

SO WE HAD FOLKS FROM WELL OUTSIDE OUR GREATER ONTARIO REGION COMING IN TO PATRONIZE OUR BUSINESSES, UM, AND KINDA EXPERIENCE THE THE GROWING FOODIE CULTURE WE HAVE HERE IN IN GREATER ONTARIO.

UM, OVER 600 CHECK-INS AND REDEMPTION OFFERS WERE RECORDED THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, WHICH IS GREAT.

UM, IT WAS A HUGE UPTICK FOR, FOR US FROM LAST YEAR.

UM, AND ON TOP OF THAT, WE ALSO WORKED WITH A LOCAL INFLUENCER, JOEL GREEN, TO CREATE SOME VIDEOS AND HIGHLIGHT THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS.

UM, THREE RANCHO RESTAURANTS WERE FEATURED, AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU TWO OF THOSE VIDEOS TO KINDA GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF, OF WAYS WE WE WORKED WITH HIM TO, TO SHOWCASE THESE BUSINESSES.

THE FIRST ONE IS STEVE'S COFFEE PLAY,

[00:05:02]

COME ON, COME ON AND GO TO THE THIRD FLOOR.

YOU ARE GONNA FIND ONE OF THE TOP RATED COFFEE SPOTS IN ALL OF THE IE WOO SPANISH LATTE.

THIS IS TRULY THE ESSENCE OF A HIDDEN GYM.

LOOK, YOU'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE ELEVATOR, YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE, AM I IN THE RIGHT PLACE? YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

THIS IS OUR MOST POPULAR DRINK.

THE SPANISH LATTE WITH COLD FOAM ON TOP.

THAT IS SO SMOOTH.

DUDE, THIS IS AMAZING.

THEY JUST HANDED ME A BANANA MATCHA.

BAM.

OH MY GOSH, THAT'S GOOD.

STEVE'S COFFEE IS ONE OF THE FEATURED BUSINESSES DURING RESTAURANT MONTH.

WHEN YOU COME HERE THROUGH JULY 31ST YOU DO A BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE.

I'M IN AN OFFICE BUILDING, I NEED TO CHILL OUT, BUT THAT IS EXCITING.

SHOW YOUR DIGITAL PASSPORT.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

THE HIDDEN GYM ON THE THIRD FLOOR OUT HERE AT STEVE'S COFFEE.

AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU ONE MORE FROM PINWHEEL PASTA THAT THIS BUILDING AND GO THROUGH THESE DOORS.

MY BAD, BIG MISTAKE, IF YOU'VE BEEN MISSING OUT ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS, LOOK AT THIS CHICKEN PARM WITH HANDMADE PINWHEEL PASTA.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT PARM.

I'M OUT HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA AT PINWHEEL PASTA, TRULY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS TRYING THEIR CHICKEN PARM.

THEY JUST ADDED TO THEIR MENU.

OH MY GOSH, THAT HANDMADE VODKA SAUCE.

I MEAN, STOP IT.

THAT FREAKING SAUCE.

NEXT LEVEL, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED THE CHICKEN FARM .

THAT'S A LOT OF CHEESE.

THIS FLAVOR IS UNREAL.

IF YOU LOVE CHICKEN PARM, THEN YOU GOTTA COME OUT HERE AND GIVE THIS A TRY.

'CAUSE THE COMBINATION OF THIS CHICKEN PALM AND THIS SAUCE, ABSOLUTELY.

NEXT LEVEL.

AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU COME OUT HERE TO PINWHEEL PASTA IN THE MONTH OF JULY, SHOW THEM YOUR DIGITAL PASSPORT FOR RESTAURANT MONTH.

THEY'RE GONNA GET YOU SOME FREE TERRA MASU AS A LOVER OF ALL THINGS CARBS AND TEAR.

MASU A PINWHEEL, PASTAS, 10 OUT OF 10.

SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

UM, BUT WE SAW A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH RESTAURANT MONTH, UH, THIS YEAR.

UM, IT INCLUDED, WE HAD, WE DID FOUR SEGMENTS WITH GOOD DAY LA UM, THEY CAME OUT ON JULY 13TH TO GO TO THE RESTAURANTS, UM, IN THE MORNING AND SHOWCASE THEM.

TWO OF THOSE RESTAURANTS WERE RAW KITCHEN AND CANTINA, AS WELL AS DOGHOUSE BEER GARDEN HERE IN RANCHO.

UM, THAT ALL OF THOSE GOOD DAY LA SEGMENTS RESULTED IN ALMOST 3 MILLION IMPRESSIONS ABOUT A $20,000 PUBLICITY VALUE, WHICH IS FREED US.

WE DON'T PAY TO BE ON IT.

THEY HERE, WE'RE DOING COOL STUFF LIKE THIS, AND THEY WANT TO COME SHOWCASE IT TO THE, THE GREATER LOS ANGELES, UH, COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.

SO IT'S GREAT TO GET OUR OUR CITY OUT THERE IN FRONT OF THOSE FOLKS.

UM, IN TOTAL, WE GET, WE GOT, WE WERE ALSO COVERED BY FOX 11 AND ABC SEVEN FOR 1.5 MILLION IMPRESSIONS AND ABOUT $15,000 IN PUBLICITY VALUE OUTTA THAT, AS WELL AS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL MEDIA PERFORMANCE AS YOU CAN SEE.

SO OUR, OUR VIDEOS AND OUR, OUR EFFORTS REALLY GOT OUT TO, TO SHOWCASE WHAT WE WERE DOING FOR THE RESTAURANTS HERE IN OUR CITIES.

UM, AND THEN FOR THAT, OF THE 31 RESTAURANTS WE HAD, 17 OF THOSE WERE RANCHO CUCAMONGA BASED.

I HAVE THE FULLEST THERE.

UM, AND BY THE NUMBERS OF ALL OF THOSE, OF THE 600 CHECK-INS, 400 WERE FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

WE HAD 50 OFFER OFFER REDEMPTIONS FROM, AS YOU SAW IN JOEL'S VIDEO, THE BUY ONE GET ONE SPECIALS AT STEVE'S COFFEE AND THE FREE TIER MASU.

UM, AND THEN OF THE TOP 10 RESTAURANTS FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH, EIGHT OF THOSE CAME FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND I'LL POINT OUT THAT BREWSTER'S REAL ICE CREAM AND DOGHOUSE WERE IN A THREE-WAY TIE FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE MOST VISITS.

SO A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS IN OUR MIND.

AND, AND THIS ACCOMPLISHED THAT.

AND WE DID HEAR FROM SEVERAL RESTAURANTS, UM, ONE FROM OUR, OUR FRIENDS OVER IN ONTARIO, UH, THAT SAID THAT THEY ACTUALLY ATTRIBUTED RESTAURANT MONTH WITH GETTING 'EM OUT OF A SLUMP THAT WHEN IT STARTED, THEY SOLD OUT OF PRODUCT TWO WEEKS IN A ROW.

SO WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT, AND WE HEARD THAT FROM A COUPLE RESTAURANTS THAT THEY SAW A SIGNIFICANT FOOT TRAFFIC INCREASE AS A RESULT OF WHAT WE DID WITH RESTAURANT MONTH.

SO NOW I'LL PASS IT ON TO MY, MY BOSS, RAY.

THANK YOU KELSEY, AND GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

UH, THE NEXT EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT GO CAL IS DOING WITHIN THE REGION IS SOMETHING NEW AND, UH, NEW THIS YEAR AND SOMETHING VERY EXCITING.

UH, WE'RE PARTICULARLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS FOR MANY REASONS, AND I'M GONNA SHARE, UH, HERE THIS EVENING WITH YOU THAT ON OCTOBER 16TH AND 17TH, WE'RE BRINGING FAULT LINE FEST TO MORONGO FIELD.

UH, FRIDAY NIGHT FEATURES A COUPLE DIFFERENT BANDS.

OPENING WILL BE HIGHLY SUSPECT.

AND BUSH WILL BE THE HEADLINE ACT FOR THE NIGHT OF THE 16TH, FOLLOWED BY SATURDAY NIGHT, WHICH WILL HAVE TWO CONCERTS OPENING FOR THE HEADLINE.

DUSTIN LYNCH WILL BE MITCHELL TENPENNY.

[00:10:01]

UH, AS FAR AS THE INVESTMENT IS CONCERNED, 200,000 IN STAGING BACKLINE PRODUCTION AND ANOTHER 150,000 INVESTMENT IN LABOR AND STAFFING.

UM, WE'RE ALSO, UM, WE'RE ALSO MAKING INVESTMENTS OF APPROXIMATELY 50,000 IN THE ADVERTISING, UH, AND PROMOTION ACROSS RADIO, DIGITAL BILLBOARDS, SOCIAL MEDIA, TICKETMASTER, UH, AS WELL AS OUR OWN DESTINATION MARKETING CHANNELS.

UH, THE OBJECTIVE GOES BEYOND PRODUCING TWO EVENINGS OF CONCERTS.

WE WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER REASON FOR PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION TO COME TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA, SPEND THEIR MONEY HERE, EAT HERE, STAY OVERNIGHT, AND EXPERIENCE ALL THAT THE CITY HAS TO OFFER.

YEAH, AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, OF COURSE, UM, OUR BIG PROCESS HERE IS OF COURSE, TO DRIVE MEANINGFUL INCREASES TO VISITATIONS.

YOU HEARD RAY MENTION, UM, JUST IN OUR LEISURE TOURISM SIDE, WE GENERATED DURING 25, 26, 20 7 MILLION TRIPS, 55 MILLION TOTAL VISITATION DAYS FROM PEOPLE OUT IN THE AREA COMING TO SPEND MONEY HERE IN THE AREA.

ANOTHER 6 MILLION WERE ATTRIBUTED IN HOTEL FLIGHTS AND, UH, HOTEL PLUS FLIGHTS.

AND A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS ON THAT, THAT IS JUST LEISURE VISITORS.

THESE ARE NOT CORPORATE, THESE ARE NOT GROUP MEETINGS, CONVENTIONS.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT SOME OF OUR CAMPAIGNS GENERATED RELATED TO LEISURE.

ALSO, GO CAL CHAMPION IN THE REGION, UM, UH, WAS DELIVERING AWARD-WINNING WORK.

WE WERE NOTICED IN 2025 AS THE BEST VISITOR AND CONVENTION BUREAU OR DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION FOR THE FAR WEST HERE BY NORTH STAR STELLA AWARDS.

WE'RE VERY PROUD TO HAVE RECEIVED THAT AWARD.

AND THAT WAS DONE BY READERS WHO COME TO SEE OUR DESTINATION.

ANOTHER 1.3 BILLION IN PRESS.

PRESS IMPRESSIONS, 50 PLUS MEDIA OUTLETS APPEARED, UH, OR WE APPEARED, OR OUR NAME APPEARED IN THOSE PRESS, UH, UH, MEDIA POINTS AND MORE THAN $125 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT.

THAT'S A $12.5 MILLION INCREASE FROM 24 25.

SO SIGNIFICANT GROWTH FOR GO CAL THIS YEAR.

AND THEN I DO HAVE ANOTHER SHORT VIDEO COMING UP.

JUST A HEADS UP, ONTARIO AIRPORT GOAT RIDE SERVICE HAS YOU COVERED.

IT'S THE FREE RIDE SERVICE FOR GUESTS IN ONTARIO AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO YOUR HOTEL, THEN RIDE AROUND TOWN TO POPULAR SPOTS, SHOPPING AND EVENTS, PRE-BOOK YOUR AIRPORT PICKUP IN ADVANCE OR REQUEST A RIDE ANYTIME.

NO STRESS, NO RIDE FEES.

SCAN THE QR CODE, DOWNLOAD THE GOAT APP AND RIDE FREE TODAY.

SO, SO, SO THE GOAT WAS CREATED, UH, AS A RESULT OF SOME GRANT FUNDING WE RECEIVED FROM CONGRESSWOMAN NORMA TORRES WITH THE HEALTH OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND THAT MONEY WAS USED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS SERVICE.

THIS IS A FREE SERVICE TO VISITORS WHO COME IN TO ONTARIO, RANCHO, USE OUR HOTELS AND USE OUR BUSINESSES.

THIS TRANSPORTATION NETWORK IS STRICTLY TO AND FROM METRO, STRICTLY FROM, UH, THE ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, STRICTLY FROM A HOTEL TO A RESTAURANT OR TO A ONE OF OUR ASSETS HERE IN THE CITY.

THEY CANNOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT FOR USE THAT SERVICE TO ACCESS ONE OF THESE POINTS WITHIN OUR CITIES.

SO WE'RE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IT.

WE STARTED THE SERVICE LAST WEEK IN JANUARY, AND SINCE THEN WE'VE GENERATED MORE THAN 10,300 ACCOUNTS WE'RE CREATED BECAUSE IT'S A, IT'S A, UH, AN APP YOU USE AND YOU, YOU GET YOUR, YOU PICK YOUR, YOU GET DO THE APP YOU ASK FOR.

THE SERVICE IT KNOWS, COMES AND GETS YOU JUST LIKE AN UBER OR LYFT.

AND YOU, UH, IF THE SERVICE COMES AND TAKES YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION, HAS TO BE ONE OF OUR POINTS OF INTEREST, THOUGH, THAT ARE WITHIN OUR CITY.

SO IT CANNOT GO OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

IT CANNOT GO TO ANYWHERE EXCEPT ACCESSING A POINT OF INTEREST THAT IS FOR THIS SERVICE.

NOW REMEMBER, ALL OF THE HOTELS, MORE THAN 67 HOTELS IN BOTH CITIES ARE SERVICED BY THIS SERVICE THAT TAKES A HUGE AMOUNT OF OTHER UNNECESSARY EQUIPMENT, SHUTTLES, TRANSPORTATION, ET CETERA, OTHER SYSTEMS THAT ALL THESE HOTELS WERE OPERATING OR USING UBER AND LYFT, UH, INSTEAD OF USING THIS SERVICE.

SO THIS TOOK ALL OF THOSE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD AND NOW LIMITS IT TO OUR STRUCTURE.

AND THEN THESE FOLKS USE, UH, USE THIS SYSTEM AND THIS NETWORK.

SO OF THOSE WRITERS, 97% OF THEM GAVE IT A FIVE STAR RATING.

AND THE, UH, AND TWO, TWO AND A HALF, I GUESS THAT'S TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND FOLKS, UH, HAVE MORE COMPLETED MORE THAN TWO RIDES PER UH, SERVICE.

SO IF THEY'RE HERE, THEY MIGHT USE IT MORE THAN ONE TIME.

I

[00:15:01]

SO IT'S PRETTY POPULAR SERVICE, AS YOU CAN TELL.

ONE PROBLEM, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE ONLY WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE ABOUT 50% OF THE TOTAL REQUESTS THAT WE GET.

THE DEMAND IS HIGHER THAN OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE IT.

SO I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT GET A KICK OUT OF THAT.

AND THEN ONE MORE THING THERE, I THINK IS ON THE NEXT ONE, WHICH SHOWS, I THINK THE, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE SERVICE HAS BEEN A HUGE HIT AND PEOPLE WANNA CONTINUE TO USE IT.

AND THOSE ARE THE FEW ITEMS WE HAVE TO UPDATE YOU ON TONIGHT.

MANY MORE THINGS WE COULD TALK ABOUT, BUT LIMITED TIME.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THANK YOU, MICHAEL, FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

THANK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYBODY, ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US AND OUR COMMUNITY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY.

WE DO TRULY APPRECIATE, APPRECIATE IT, MAYOR.

THANK YOU ALL.

APPRECIATE THE TIME.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS ENTITLED LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN UPDATE.

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD FROM THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT, OUR FIRE MARSHAL SHANE ADAMS AND OUR EMERGENCY MEDIC EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, RILEY DAVIS.

[B2. 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.]

IT'S OKAY.

SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

UM, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT OUR, UH, LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN UPDATE AND, UM, RILEY DAVIS WILL SHARE WHAT THE PLAN ENTAILS, UH, THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT AND THE, THE COLLABORATION WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS ON, UH, GETTING THE, THE UPDATE ACROSS THE LINE.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO WRIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.

SO WHAT IS HAZARD MITIGATION? UM, HAZARD MITIGATION DESCRIBES ACTIONS TAKEN TO HELP OR REDUCE, UM, TO HELP REDUCE OR ELIMINATE LONG-TERM RISKS CAUSED BY HAZARDS OR DISASTERS SUCH AS FLOODING, EARTHQUAKES, WILDFIRES, WIND EVENTS, OR DAM FAILURE.

AS THE COST OF DISASTERS CONTINUES TO RISE, GOVERNMENTS AND CITIZENS MUST FIND WAYS TO REDUCE HAZARDS, UM, HAZARD RISKS TO OUR COMMUNITIES.

AS COMMUNITIES PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS TO EXIST TO EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE MITIGATION CAN, CAN AND SHOULD BE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE PLANNING EFFORT.

SO WHY COMPLETE THE LHMP? UH, BY COMPLETING THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, WE ARE REDUCING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF LIFE AND SERVICES FROM NATURAL DISASTERS.

IT'LL ALSO PUT US IN AN EXCELLENT POSITION TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL GRANT DOLLARS FOR PROJECTS THAT WOULD ADDRESS MITIGATION OPPORTUNITIES ADDRESSED IN OUR PLAN AS WELL AS DISASTER RECOVERY FUNDING.

THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING PROCESS, WE WERE ABLE TO DISCUSS, IDENTIFY, AND ANALYZE THE HAZARDS THAT GREATLY AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY.

WE IDENTIFIED PROJECTS AND POLICIES THAT WOULD GREATLY REDUCE THE RISK, UM, TO HAZARDS AND CREATE, CREATED A DOCUMENT THAT WILL PROVIDE THE PLANNING TEAM WITH DIRECTION ON MONITORING AND IMPLEMENTING THE TASKS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.

THIS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BY INTERNAL CITY STAFF ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, AS WELL AS MANY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, SO THAT THIS PLAN IS CONSIDERED FROM ALL ANGLES OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

IT WAS A TRULY COLLABORATIVE PROCESS, UM, WITH ALL AGENCIES LISTED ABOVE.

THE HAZARDS THAT OUR COMMITTEES, UH, STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY WERE WILDFIRE SEISMIC HAZARDS, SEVERE WEATHER, INCLUDING WIND EVENTS AND EXTREME HEAT FLOODING, AS WELL AS HUMAN CAUSED INCIDENTS INCLUDING CYBERSECURITY AND TERRORISM.

EXAMPLES OF MITIGATION STRATEGIES, UH, INCLUDE THE FIREBIRD CAMERA IMPLEMENTATION AS WELL AS THE HELI POD RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED.

LAST, UM, IN JULY OF 2026, UPGRADING GENERATORS TO CRITICAL FACILITIES SUCH AS CENTRAL PARK, UM, NEW EMERGENCY ALERT COMMUNICATIONS THAT ARE MULTILINGUAL, UM, AND ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS ACCESSIBLE, AS WELL AS COMMUNI CONTINUING TO PROMOTE PREPAREDNESS THROUGH A VARIETY OF WAYS.

THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN WILL BE ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR FOR THE OCTOBER 7TH COUNCIL MEETING.

UH, TO GIVE COUNSEL TIME

[00:20:01]

THEN FEMA WILL REVIEW IT AS A FINAL APPROVAL.

UH, THE LHMP IS UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS.

UH, THE NEXT UPDATE WILL BE DUE IN 2031.

THE LHMP CONNECTS THE GENERAL CONNECTS TO THE GENERAL PLAN THROUGH THE SAFETY ELEMENT, AND IT'S ALSO ALIGNED TO OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS PLAN? FOR HAZARD MITIGATION.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

MUCH APPRECIATED.

AND I KNOW OUR COMMUNITY ALREADY FEELS SAFER RIGHT NOW.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

UH, SO I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR, UM, CITY CLERK TO READ THE REQUIREMENTS OF RE FOR REMOTE PARTICIPANTS.

BUT I WILL SAY LASTLY THAT YOUR COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL.

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.

COMMENTS AGAIN WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL.

WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC SPEAKERS, JERRY JACOBSON, OUR FIRST SPEAKER, FOLLOWED BY PHILLIP E WALKER.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, SO I KNOW WHILE, UM, THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDIES AND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS AND ALL OF THAT, UM, WHEN THE PROJECTS ARE BEING ROLLED OUT, ALL THE BUILDING PROJECTS, IT'S STARTING TO APPEAR THAT EACH PRODUCT IS BEING, EACH PROJECT IS BEING VIEWED IN ISOLATION.

AND, AND THEN THIS WITH, WITHOUT REGARD TO HOW ONE IM ONE PROJECT IS IMPACTING ANOTHER.

AND SO THEN WE'RE STARTING TO HAVE THE ISSUES WHERE, UM, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PARKING OR NOW THERE'S TRAFFIC OR THERE'S PEOPLE CUTTING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, I DID REVIEW THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, ALL 256 PAGES ON YOUR WEBSITE.

AND, UM, THE QUESTIONS I SUBMITTED WAS, UM, HOW MUCH PLANNING HAS GONE INTO THE TRAFFIC FLOW IN ALL THE NEW PROJECTS? ARE THERE COMMUNITY MAPS THAT SHOW EVACUATION ROUTES FOR FOLKS OUT OF THE VERY HIGH FIRE ZONES WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE BUILT? WHAT ABOUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AREAS? UM, ARE THERE ALTERNATIVE ROUTES FOR THE IN CASE, UH, A USUAL ROUTE IS BLOCKED? AND WHERE CAN CITIZENS FIND THIS INFORMATION? UM, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THAT PLAN, AT THIS POINT IN THE VERY HIGH FIRE RED ZONE, THERE'S UNDER 5,000 HOMES.

AND JUST ONE PROJECT ALONE THAT'S UNDER LITIGATION RIGHT NOW IS ADDITIONAL 6,000 THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON PUTTING UP THERE.

SO THAT'S CONCERNING.

UM, BUILDING MORE HOMES IN RANCHO NORTH RANCHO WITHOUT INCLUDING THAT EXTENSIVE STREET PLANNING AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN IS GONNA MAKE IT HARD, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE CROWDED SCHOOLS.

I LOOKED FROM ARCHIBALD SOUTH TO BASELINE UP TO THE FOOTHILLS TOWARDS THE 15 FREEWAY, AND I COUNTED AT LEAST 19 SCHOOLS.

UM, SO THAT'S ALREADY A CONGESTION NIGHTMARE.

PEOPLE ARE ALREADY CUTTING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS TO GET THEIR KIDS THREE CARS FASTER TO SCHOOL, AND IT'S JUST A ZOO AND KIDS ARE GONNA GET HURT.

THE E-BIKES ON TOP OF IT, IT'S JUST CHAOS.

UM, ANOTHER BIG QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE IS THE TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAYS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO GOOGLE, BETWEEN HAVEN AND THE 15, THAT'S ONLY THREE MILES, BUT THE MOST IMPACTED OFF RAMPS GONNA BE DAY CREEK AND ALL THE NEW HOMES THAT ARE GOING, UM, TO THE EAST OF DAY CREEK.

I MEAN, WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT ALREADY LIVE UP THERE BY WARDMAN BULLOCK, AND IT TAKES THEM ABOUT 40 MINUTES JUST TO GET DOWN TO THE FREEWAY, OTHERWISE THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE 15 DOWN AND ADD TRAFFIC ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

SO THERE'S, IT'S REALLY A CONGESTION ISSUE.

SO

[00:25:01]

I'M NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I HAVE TO FIND OUT STUFF BY LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.

I'M BEING HONEST WITH YOU.

AND MILLMORE FINDING OUT, ONCE THEY SEE BUILDING ALREADY HAPPENING, THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE FINDING OUT.

AND SO THEN THEY'RE COMING TO YOU GUYS FRUSTRATED AND THEN FEELING LIKE THEY'RE NOT BEING HEARD.

BUT IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE, YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD WITH THESE PROJECTS.

THANK YOU.

NEXT SPEAKERS, PHILIP MS. JACOBSON? YES.

UM, OUR FIRE CHIEF MIKE MCCLEON WOULD BE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU IN THE BACK AND ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ALONG WITH OUR CITY ENGINEER JASON WILDE.

UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

HI, I AM PHILLIP B WALKER, A MORE THAN DECADE RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND A FULL-TIME HOLLYWOOD ACTOR.

AND I'M ELATED TO INFORM YOU THAT MY LATEST FILM, UH, JUNETEENTH ROCKS, RANCHO CUCAMONGA 2026 HAD ITS WORLD PREMIERE AT THE TCL CHINESE THEATER LAST SATURDAY.

UH, I WAS SO ELATED TO SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN.

IT WILL SCREEN AGAIN ALONG WITH HAPLESS REVENGE ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY, AS YOU KNOW, IS OCTOBER 12TH.

AND I HOPE THAT, UH, THE CITY WILL COME OUT AND SEE THESE TWO DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT OUR JUNETEENTH CELEBRATIONS.

UH, NORMALLY I DON'T TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY CAREER, BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND, UH, OH, ABOUT THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE CHANGED MY WHOLE APPROACH AND BECOME AN ITINERANT I ACTING TEACHER.

BUT I DON'T TEACH HOW TO ACT.

I TEACH HOW TO GET ACTING EMPLOYMENT.

I'M RUNNING A WORKSHOP CALLED HOLLYWOOD ACTOR JOBS HOLLYWOOD ACTOR JOBS.COM THAT EXPLAINS IN DETAIL BOTH, UH, THE WORKSHOP AND THE INFOMERCIAL AND THE BOOK THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO SHOW OTHERS HOW TO BECOME FULL-TIME HOLLYWOOD ACTORS WITHOUT AN AGENT, WITHOUT UNION MEMBERSHIP, SO ON AND SO FORTH.

I USE MY EXPERIENCE OF HAVING MORE THAN A THOUSAND PRODUCTIONS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

I USE THE TECHNIQUES THAT I DISCOVERED FOR SELF SUBMISSION TO GET AROUND THAT IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF BEING HIRED AS AN ACTOR AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE PRODUCTION.

SO, UH, THE INFOMERCIAL THAT IS A PART OF THAT PROGRAM WILL BE SCREENING TOMORROW, ALSO AT THE TCL CHINESE THEATER, DURING THE, UH, UH, INDY WOOD FILM FESTIVAL.

IT'LL BE SCREENING AT TWO O'CLOCK IN, UH, DOWN IN UH, HOLLYWOOD.

AND THEN AT FOUR O'CLOCK I'LL BE DOING A HAPPY HOUR ANSWERING PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS, SO ON AND SO FORTH.

UH, THE, UH, THE WORKSHOP AND, UH, ITS INFOMERCIAL.

WE'LL BE SCREENING ALL AROUND THE INLAND EMPIRE, UH, AND, UH, PRESENTED ALL AROUND THE INLAND EMPIRE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS YEAR.

AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO DO A MAJOR STATE TOUR FOR 2027.

SO STAY TUNED.

FOR HOLLYWOOD ACTOR JOBS, I'M PHILIPPI WALKER.

THANK YOU.
