City Manager Gillison introduced Fire Chief, Mike McCliman and Marlena Perez, Principal Engineer, who
provided a PowerPoint with an overview and background on the Almond Street Project. Fire Chief
McCliman presented the project purpose and needs, highlighting current route limitations and the need to
create alternate route for wildfire evacuation and improve emergency services response times. Principal
Engineer Perez spoke about the preliminary design concept and community engagement efforts to
understand the community's priorities and concerns.
Mayor Michael opened the Administrative Hearing.
Earle Anderson spoke in opposition of the Almond Street Improvement Project, inquired about city
ordinances related to gate locks and proposed the city install a fence with a manual lock and key.
Judith Brennan, Trail Advisory Committee Member, spoke in support of the Almond Street Improvement
Project contingent on the city extending the pedestrian and equestrian trail with white rail fencing beyond
the current border outline proposed by staff on the south side of Almond Street so that the trail runs all
the way from Carnelian Street East to Sapphire Street on the west to provide connectivity to the existing
city trail system and public safety.
Richard Morrill stated he supports 95% of the Almond Street Improvement Project and understands
safety concerns and recommended the city install a swing gate with a manual lock and key or consider an
Opticom transmitter device primarily used for emergency vehicle preemption.
Scott Morff stated he supports the Almond Street Improvement Project to allow emergency access but
does not support access for general traffic as it will impact public safety, increase accidents and cause
the loss of urban quality/historic character of the area.

John Ragel spoke in support of the Almond Street Improvement Project as it will enhance public safety
for residents in the area and noted he does not believe there will be a significant increase in traffic due to
remote location.
John Huegel spoke in opposition of the Almond Street Improvement Project due to public safety concerns
and proposed the city instead use project funds for street and road maintenance.
Mayor Michael closed the Administrative Hearing.
Council discussion ensued on the time and effort it would take to open manual gates and impacts on
emergency response times, the inability to legally prevent the public from accessing a public street in the
State of California, public safety, increasing police patrol, importance of mitigating any potential dangers
in the area and response times.
City Manager Gillison addressed public safety concerns and informed the City would work with the
Rancho Cucamonga Police Department to monitor crime and increase police patrol as needed although
most of the traffic is anticipated to be 85% to 90% residents or guests due to the remoteness of the
location. City Manager Gillison also addressed future public development concerns and informed the City
is currently in escrow to purchase the entire western half of king ranch as conservation land and remove
all development rights, ensuring that there will not be additional housing in that area.
Council Member Hutchison inquired if staff will be sharing public comments with the consultant hired to
design the project.
In response, Principal Engineer Perez affirmed and noted the designs shown tonight already included
feedback from the second community meeting. Lastly, she noted staff is committed in honoring the
characteristics of the area and will be able to get all community input to the consultant.
In response to the notion of the two gates blocking the road, City Attorney Ghirelli noted it would not be
permissible under the California Vehicle Code. He informed the California Vehicle Code lists all the
circumstances that a City can close a road for and he does not believe that blocking it to everyone except
for emergency access would be a permissible reason. He advised that if the City Council makes the
decision to build the road, blocking it off for public access would not be allowed by the California Vehicle
Code.
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy thanked staff, speakers at the meeting and the community for their participation
in community meetings and input. She affirmed the City Council is thinking about the safety of the
community and the feedback has been included in the designs of the Almond Street Improvement
Project.
In response to comments regarding installing gates with manual locks or Opticom devices, Mayor Michael
shared past local emergency scenarios and how manual locks/Opticom devices would delay emergency
response times. Mayor Michael thanked staff for their community outreach efforts, speakers for providing
input and assured that the City Council is doing what is in the best interest of the future of the community
and the safety of the community.
MOTION: Moved by Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy, seconded by Council Member Stickler, to approve staffs
recommendation of a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn &Associates, Inc. in the amount
of $252,005, plus 10% contingency for design and construction support services for the project, and
authorize the purchase of Environmental Mitigation Credits in the amount up to $200,000 from Soquel
Mitigation Bank. Motion carried 5-0.
