Dear Commission Members~ Although the County of San Bernardino ovms the property the Rains House stands on the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society has carried the financial and physical responsibilities of its restoration and maintenance. As restoration nears completion the Board would like the Com- mission to be aware of the part its citizens have played in making the Casa the "jewel of the Museum satellites". The Vandalized Rains House and 1 acre of land was pur- visors i s i c for $10,000 in December, 1971. The Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society was formed as a chapter of the San Bernardino County Museum Association on B~arch 19, 1972. A short time later the Society was granted non-profit organization status, at which time it became self-governing and self-supporting. Enclosures are: i. A copy of a letter from Dr. Gerald Smith to the Society outli~f~ their responsibilities. IIa Concerns the purchase of the extra ~P comprising the present parking lot with 1974 State Bor~AFunds. llb Shows that the Museum Association, weary of waiting for the County to move went ahead in 1978 and paved the oarking lot with their own funds. ..... llc Points Rut onc~'again~hat m0~t of the improvements have been done with State Bond Funds.

CALIFORNIA 92316 April 20, 1972 Mrs. Sharon Stephens, President Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Society 8353 Klusman Avenue Cucamonga, Ca. 91730 Dear MPs. Stephens: It is a pleasure to welcome your group as the newest Chapter of the San Berna~dino County Museum Association. Minutes of the March 9, 1972, meeting of the Association's Board of Directors read as follows: "The Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Society requested to be accepted as a Chapter of the San Bepnardino County Museum Association. Motion was made by Bernard Muffley, seconded by Levi Dickey, and carried to accept the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Society as'~ Chapter, to abide by the By-Laws of the San Bel~na~dino County Museum Association. 'LDr. Schuiling summarized that the Rains house already-is county prop- erty, and the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Committee was organized to restore it. The County Board of Supe~vlsors indicated they would not expend funds for r~storation work. The Museum Association offered whatever support could give. But essentially the responsibility of restol'ation Pests with and has been taken by the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Society." A Chapter of the San Bernardino County Museum Association is not an incorporated body and therefore cannot own property. Because of the legal liability of the San Bernardino County Museum Association, a California non-profit corporation, it is necessary that all property, aPtifacts material acquired by the Chapter be given to the Museum Association or to the County with the stipulation that it is to be used for the Pestoration of the Rains house. It will be stored at the Museum until it can be used at the Rains house. A11 money collected ~y the Chapter should~ be given to the San BernaP- dino County Museum Association with the stipulation that it be deposited in the San Bernardino County Museum Association 's fund for Casa de Rancho Cucamonga to be used only for pPeservation and Pestoration of the Rains house. The Museum Association will not keep a record of the Society's mem- berships but will consider all money it receives as donations to the fund as outlined above. Authoriz_ation for_withdraw_al of money should_be a wPi_t- te~ request signed by two authorized members of the Society, together with the bills to be paid. Payments will be made direct to the Payee and the bill filed for the Auclitor's inspection. Monthly recurring bills, such as the water bill will be tyaid automatically without authorization f-~Dm the Sin y, cc: Mr. Lenard Gorczyca . , ' ector ,, useurn i ria One of the frustrations suffered hy the Museum Commission and the Associa- tion Directors is to helplessly watch the erosion of funds to the County bureaucracy from grants or state bond monies. One case alone will illustrate the point. $15,000 was allocated from the 1974 State Bond money for additional land acquisition and grounds develop- ment at the Reins House (Casa de Ren- cho Cucamonga). That figure appeared to be sufficient when estimates were first made a few years ago. The land was purchased, and the owner of the property received $6,300, as was pre- viously estimated. However, the Real Property Division of the County took an additional $1,900 to cover the costs of negotiating the purchase. That, by any standards, is a "fat" commission, especially when you are negotiating a sale to yourself. This doesn't leave much money for grounds development. But wait! Now the County Public Works Agency~ which must contract for the work, indicates that it will charge an additional $4,000 to cover preliminary costs (surveys, tests, etc.) before any actual work can be done. And the longer the delay, the greater the costs. This is why the grown men (and women) who run the Museum, and who are trying to l~rovide the maximum of public service at a minimum cost, have been known to cry!
