C. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
C1. Rita Loof, resident of Upland, wanted Rancho Cucamonga residents to know they should be proud
of their City, of the Government and City staff. She said she had the pleasure of participating in an event
for parents of children with special needs. She said it was a private event sponsored by several
community and private groups, of which they had the honor of Mayor Alexander welcoming the parents.
She especially wanted to thank CSD staff Dave Moore, Ryan Samples and Aja Shelby.
C2. Andrea Woore, resident, thanked staff for their collaboration with a Parent Workshop for Parents of
Children with Special Needs. She urged the City to consider further education-not just recreation-as a
goal for the Community Services Department. She said the one session gave hear a wealth of
knowledge, which gave her hope for her child. She thanked the Mayor and the City for its support.
C3. John Lyons, resident, displayed pictures of the street (Highland) that the City Council voted on May
3rd to keep closed. He would like the City to create a benefit assessment district to charge those
residents. He said the west side is already paying the price for not being able to use Highland Avenue,
so he thinks the east side should pay the bill for the street. He also said he would like to have a
moratorium placed north of Los Osos High School until traffic issues can be mitigated.
C4. Jim Moffatt, resident, stated the Highland Avenue street issue is not over. He said the
councilmembers are required to represent the whole city-not just a fraction of the city, and that they
should listen to both sides of the issues before making a decision. He announced that he will be a
candidate for City Council in November.
C5. Hilda Phillips, resident, spoke on the subject of the Parent Workshop for Parents of Children with
Special Needs. She stated she previously had been involved with children with special needs, and she
was surprised and disappointed that she missed this event. She encouraged the parents and the
organization to keep fighting for more academics. She announced she is available and would like to
become involved.

Councilmember Williams asked the City Engineer to explain what was going to happen at each location,
as she would like the public to know that the City is making progress on these issues.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the locations are: Intersection of 6th & Buffalo; Carnelian & Wilson;
Archibald & Banyan, which have experienced quite a bit of growth recently. The other two locations are
Arrow & Etiwanda (which will have left-turn phasing) and Foothill & Hellman (will be putting in left-turn
phasing for Hellman, both north and southbound). He said when Foothill was under CalTrans control, the
City did ask CalTrans to put that in, and they refused. He said now that the City has taken over the
street, we are able to do it ourselves. He said there have been many requests at that location (signal) for
left-turn phasing. He said the plan is to get them done within the next six to seven months.
DISCUSSION OF ITEM 05. Approval to authorize the advertising of the "Notice Inviting Bids" for
the Highland Avenue Tree Screen, from east of Milliken Avenue to Rochester Avenue project, to

Councilmember Williams asked the City Engineer when the plantings will begin.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the plantings should begin about September. They will plant about 183
trees (24" box trees), spaced about 15 feet apart; they are Canary Island Pine, which is a fast grower and
grows 40 to 50 ft. tall, which will be a substantial screen.
Councilmember Williams stated she is very happy both of these projects are moving forward. She said
these are two issues that residents have mentioned to her, and she wants them to know to know that the
City is moving forward.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked what size the trees would be when they are planted.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated they will get as big as trees as they can; normally a 24" box tree of this
size would be 6 to 8 feet tall when it is planted.

Councilmember Spagnolo talked about a retired Fire Captain who was involved in a motorcycle accident
on April 20th in the City of Upland, who, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries on May 12th. He said
Captain Rick Nelson was a man he worked with on the same engine who retired in 2002. Captain Nelson
started with the Alta Loma Fire District when it was all volunteers, his career in the fire service expanding
to almost thirty years. He said he was instrumental in a lot of programs that the department has today,
was behind the working force in establishing the household hazardous waste program currently at Fire
Station NO.3 and was also instrumental in the West End Haz Mat Team that incorporated all five cities.
He said his services will be held on May 18th. He said he was a good man who dedicated a good part of
his life to this community and he should be remembered in our prayers.
