(32. Gwyn Frost commented on the history of water in Rancho Cucamonga. She said water is one of
the reasons that the Chaffey Brothers came to this area. She said as recently as July of 2000, one of the
water buildings, an early 1900's pump station, was torn down on Victoria Street. She said she saved a
few of the amhives from the building, one of which is a gate paddle. She said in 1974 there was an
independent water company servicing the water. That company stemmed from the original water
company of 1882, Etiwanda Water Company, which George Chaffey helped to find. When he developed
Etiwanda and Etiwanda Colony Lands, he sold ten-acre plots with one share of water along with it. She
read that there were 13 water sources coming into Cucamonga in the 1890's. She said from 1955 until
now, the Cucamonga County Water District became the district by the County to service residential
irrigation and to begin a sewer project in 1955. Cucamonga Water District services all of Rancho
Cucamonga now.
C3. Jim Frost stated that just outside of the boardroom of the Cucamonga County Water District there
are some of the corporate seals from earlier water districts/companies. He said there was a Deer Canyon
Irrigation District that was doing well until there was an earthquake in 1918, and the wells were no longer
productive enough, so they let the citrus die. He stated that the gate paddle retrieved from the water
building is a great reminder of where we came from.
C4. Melanie Ingram stated that the Recall group would be at the Concerts in the Park and the Beach
Boys Concert. She said at the final Concerts in the Park, the 28th, they will be giving away balloons to the
children. She said they have had problems with the Rancho Recall website, but within the next couple of
days, everything should be fine. She said regarding the potential conflicts of interest with Councilmember
Gutierrez, Mr. Gutierrez has never made it ctear that the "Grapevine Press" was actually sold. She said
no matter where they go, they cannot find any evidence of that except in the City's Business Licensing
section where it states the new owner, but that new owner is not shown in the Auditor/Controllers County
records as having anything to do with the publication, and not at the Secretary of State level either. She
said they are still looking into it. She stated regarding the Colonies, there was a settlement agreement
meeting. She said there are several lawsuits coming down the road. She states that Leslie Grimes was
stunned by the way she was treated (threatening language) by the Colonies partners in the courtroom this
date. Regarding the water and flood issues and aesthetic issues, Upland still has on its books this
movement of the asphalt batch plant to right on the edge of our City. She said that is something we
shouldn't accept at all, and she hopes that the Council will be ready to step forward and speak against
some of the things that are going on. Regarding developer contributions, pemeption is everything. She
said Mr. Gutierrez shook his head at her at the last meeting when she was talking about the Etiwanda
fundraiser, etc. She says she now has a copy of new newest Campaign Statement, all of the funds he
has raised, and all of it from developers. She reminder everyone of the recall website, "ranchorecall.org."
I[ D. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
D1. Councilmember Kurth stated he is proud of the efforts and hard work of Vineyard Little League; he
praised Diane Mindrum & Robert McCay for being strong members of the community and explained what
their respective companies do. He said regarding the disorganization at the State level, whatever
outcome from the election, hopefully we'll have strong leadership to help pull us out of these problems
and get us back on a sound financial path.
D2. Councilmember Williams congratulated Vineyard Little League. She said she attended a summit
regarding the economic predictions and was pleased with the overview given by Supervisor Biane.
Regarding the Public Utilities Commission decision to require exit fees for municipal utilities, she met with
State officials to ask for reconsideration of their decision.

D3. Councilmember Gutierrez said he is proud of the class, sportsmanship and dignity of Vineyard Little
League. He thanked the Rancho Cucamonga Stake volunteers of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day
Saints regarding clearing of weeds on the north side of Foothill between Baker & Vineyard. He stated his
concern regarding the DARE program and that it needs to be kept in the forefront. He said he is
concerned about the affect the mall project could have on businesses on the west side of town. He said
he is concerned regarding property disputes with neighbors, excessive speed throughout the City, and
violence. He said if we work on these three issues, it could make our City a very happy place all the time.
He said regarding his fundraising efforts, everything he does is within the law. He said that at the
previous meeting when he shook his head, it was because what was said was utterly ridiculous and
inaccurate. He said a certain gentleman did not speak at his fundraiser. He said that in government,
sometimes you have to raise money. He said that the money he has received is not all from developers.
He also said that developers are not all innately dangerous, evil people. He said hundreds of people from
all walks of life have given to his campaign. He said he is happy to serve on the Council and he loves this
City and is going to keep positive and try to make the City a better place.

carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Howdyshell absent).
DISCUSSION OF ITEM Ell. Approval to accept bids received and award and authorize the
execution of the Contract in the amount of $3,522,410.00 to the apparent Iow bidder, Steve Bubalo
Construction Co. (CO 03-082), and authorize the expenditure of a 10% contingency in the amount

11123035650/1402112-0, and Measure "1" funds, Acct. No. 11763035650/1410176-0.
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, said this item is related to a couple other items regarding storm drains from
Base Line to the Alta Loma Channel north of Base Line. He said tonight he is speaking both as City
Treasurer and as Chairman of the San Bernardino County Zone 1 Flood Control Advisory Committee,
discussing infrastructure and safety. He related to an incident in 1978 when he saw a fully loaded fire
truck slide sideways while trying to cross Hermosa because of the storm drain runoff. He said in 1980 in
the same location, Alta Loma Channel, crossing Hermosa, filled up a swimming pool across the street.
He can remember during that time visiting Northtown and inspecting the flooding basements north of the
railroad tracks because of the storm drain problems. He relates to this for a couple reasons, one to
remind us how far we have come and sometimes to remind us how far we still need to go, but also,
importantly, that items like this wind up on the consent calendar meeting after meeting, showing
incremental improvements to our way of life in Rancho Cucamonga and the potential for increases and
assessed valuation. He said our ability to provide both regional and local storm drain facilities, the
th
Redevelopment Agency improvement of 8 Street, makes it possible to bring in high-end jobs and wages
and assessed valuation into the City of Rancho Cucamonga. He said one of the things that make this
work is one of the funding sources for these three items - County Measure "1" (Countywide half cent sales
City Council Minutes
August 20, 2003
Page 7
tax). He reminded the audience that the Mayor is Chairman of the Countywide Transportation
Committee. He said Measure "1" is due to expire in 2009, and he thinks we can show a good case
through lots of different examples of how that voluntary sales tax on behalf of the residents of San
Bemardino County has come back to our city in proportion. He said we've been able to utilize it for
improvements both for infrastructure and related public safety. He said in the future when we have a
Measure "1" funding source on this agenda, we should pull it off briefly and acknowledge the
improvements that the Council is making to our City and the potential lack of progress that we can be
making in the future if Measure "1" is to expire and isn't returned by the residents.
Mayor Alexander thanked Mr. Frost for bringing this to the attention of everyone. He said he does
believe, though, that it expires in 2006 and not in 2009. He said Mr. Frost is reminding us that if we want
to see anything in the form of a taxation that virtually 100% comes back to the people who are providing
that funding, the V2 cents sales tax does that. Different from any other type of tax, it is not being sent to
Sacramento to go through the sifter so whatever comes out is returned to this area; it is al] used in this
area.
MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Gutierrez to approve Item E11. Motion carried unanimously,
4-0-1 (Howdyshell absent).
DISCUSSION OF ITEM E6. Approval to reject all bids received for the Maintenance of Traffic
Signals and Safety Lighting as non-responsive to the needs of the City.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, gave an update on the item. He said this item was for annual maintenance of
traffic signals and when the bid went out, we specified in the specifications a specific license. We
realized afterwards that we should not have done that. By limiting it to a specific license, we may have
disenfranchised some possible bidders. He said we were happy with the bids, but unfortunately we feel
that it probably would not be a fair bid. He said this was discussed with the City Attorney and he agrees
that the best procedure we could follow to provide fairness for all bidders would be to reject the bids at
this time and re-advertise and bring this back to the Council with a future bid that we think would allow
fairness for everyone.
Ken Harris, Republic Electric General Manager for Southern California, said they had talked with
traffic Associate Engineer Jim Harris prior to the bid and explained to him that all the contractors
have Class C10 licenses and that he made the statement that he would probably not put in a
proposal because they did not have the Class A. He said he was led to believe that he should go
ahead and put the bid in, that the C10 would be sufficient. He said if there was going to be an
issue with the Class A, Republic feels that if the bids were presented to the City, they should not
have been opened, should not have been published, that the decision should have been made
prior to this. He said Republic gave a very aggressive bid because they really wanted it. He said
now that all of their numbers are out there, he cannot see how this could possibly be a fair rabid.
He says Republic has set the target that everyone is going to aim for. He said they are asking
that City Council reconsider this on the basis that the numbers were published, that it was an
issue that the contractors had brought up prior to the bid, that they would have preferred an
addendum to throw it out, postpone the bid, etc.
James Markman, City Attorney, said we don't necessarily disagree. He said this is not a good process.
He said the problem is not who bid or who called up to find out whether the other license would be
adequate, the problem is the bidders eut there we never even heard from or knew about because they
just read the plain language of the bid specs and didn't bid. He said he is sympathetic to what Mr. Harris
is saying, but he is more concerned about having a valid process, and the only way we can have a valid
process and know that Council is awarding to the people who have the correct licenses is to rebid it.
City Council Minutes
August 20, 2003
Page 8
Mayor Alexander asked if we knew this before we opened the bids. He said we should never have
opened the bids.
Mr. Harris said that all the bidders who could have bid, did bid. There are only four electrical
maintenance contractors in the area, and they all put in the bid. He said there is no one else who
could possibly bid if you go out for rebid. He said the second issue is that the current contractor
who has been doing traffic signal maintenance and safety lighting repair for 25 years holds a C10
licenso not an "A." He said the whole thing to Republic seems to be a little strange.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that nobody can say that nobody else but four people would have
bid this, whether they are local or not, we just can't know that; and secondly, the only thing he can say is
that if everybody was aware of this in the first place, including the people bidding, including this
gentleman, they could have asked for a decision and an addendum going out before we got to the point
that we are up against an opening and then discover this. He said unfortunately the whole process could
have been handled better, but if you want a valid process, we should go out and name the correct
licenses required.
Councilmember Williams stated that it does seem that we committed the errer, but she is not sure that
your fix is the best fix.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated it is up to the Council.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if the reason why this is being rejected is it because of an error on the
City's part.
James Markman, City Attorney, said that is why the law provides for the City errors in processing bids
which gives them a right to reject all bids and go out again.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if there is a way for some special consideration, as it seems unfair for
this gentleman to be left out.
Councilmember Kurth asked about the liability to accept the bids on the basis of what has already been
submitted.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that if the Council awards this bid, we cannot go back. He said if
the Council feels they want to go with the Iow bidder, they could do that. He said we told you a way
where there is no legal exposure, but if that does not strike you as being fair, that's up to the Council, and
that is why you have policy-making discretion.
Councilmember Williams confirmed with Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, the bid process in this particular case.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer explained the process and how this error was brought to the City's attention.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated that if Mr. Harris didn't have any discrepancies in his bid, then he doesn't
see any reason why we don't make good on our word.
Mayor Alexander stated he feels the same way except he is more empathetic to not wanting to spend
extra money if you really feel that we are jeopardizing the City.
Jim Markman, City Attorney, said he doesn't feel there is a lot of exposure here.
Ken Harris stated there are no other maintenance contractors in the area that would bid this job.

Mayor Alexander stated that he respects his opinion, but stated he needs to know where we have to
come from too as far as the possibility that anything could pop out of the woodwork later on.
Jim Markman, City Attorney, stated that the alternate action to what staff is recommending is for Council
to award to the apparent Iow bidder and waive any irregularities in the process.
MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Gutierrez regarding Item E6 to award to the apparent Iow
bidder and waive any irregularities in the process. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Howdyshell
