She stated they want to be notified of any future meetings regarding this project. She stated they are early, united, fed up, and want to be heard. She stated she saw the plans and are appalled because the project is very dense on a small parcel. She stated the developer wants to raise the cap of units allowed on this site, and asked the Council not to listen to them. She asked the Council to listen to the residents and not favor developers. She felt the density should be reduced for this, asked the traffic to be looked at and also the cut-throughs fixed. She thanked the Red Hill residents that helped her gather signatures opposing this projecl. She reiterated her request to be notified of any public hearings. C2. Cathy Cushman wanted to address the Day Laborer site on Grove stating she knew it had closed down, but added that the laborers are still lingering there.

Robin Hvidston, with the Minuteman Project, stated they organized the protest at the day laborer site. She stated they are glad this site no loner exists. She stated some cities are adopting ordinances so that illegals are not hired by businesses. She felt the City should talk with other cities and see what they are doing to help with this issue. She felt the iIIegals are being treated like slaves, and felt this is a very dangerous situation. She felt the City should stand up to the MALDEF. She stated another man, who was also a Minuteman and could not stay for the meeting, wanted the Council to know he opposes the i1legals taking American jobs. C5. Don Kurth stated he supports the Red Hill people to preserve this neighborhood, and hoped the City would preserve the great planning it has already done. He felt the City should consider their concerns. C6. Jim Moffatt, lives on Red Hill, felt there will be too many condos built in the Red Hill area and not enough parking for the people that live there. He did not feel the "Strawberry Patch Project" should go forward because there are too many condos being buill. C7. John Lyons thanked staff for the candidate orientation and tour last week. He stated his ballot statement was removed as was originally written, and he has put it in the newspaper with the information that was left oul. He read the article from the newspaper with the information that was left oul. He commented on the proposed Red Hill project and the appeal process for that projecl. He did not agree with this. He commented on a mud slide in this area that occurred several years ago. He stated he didn't approve of this project and felt there were a iot of people that didn't approve it either. C8. Joe Estrada commented on the beautiful presentations given earlier in the meeting. He felt some of the previous Council meetings were tarnished because of comments made by Mr. Lyons. He felt the Mayor should stop people from attacking others at the meetings. He felt there needed to be better decorum. He felt Mr. Lyon's comments were ridiculous. He felt the City deserved better leadership. C9. Nicole Myerchin stated we have freedom of speech in this country and did not think people can be stopped from saying what they want to say. She stated she went to Bark in the Park at the stadium and complimented the staff involved with this evenl. She commented on the volunteers and staff at the Animal Shelter and commended them for their work. She commented on 14 kittens that were euthanized, and did not feel that should have occurred. She stated she received calls from volunteers about this. She did not think this was in the best interest of the kittens to put them down. She asked that the subcommittee be active and have regular meetings to talk about these types of incidents. She stated she was also told about animals dieing in their cages. She stated this upsets her when she receives these types of calls. Councilmember Gutierrez felt this type of accusation should be clarified by staff instead of letting this go until the next meeting. C10. Bill McCliman stated this is public communication and didn't feel the Council should be allowed to interrupt or interject comments during this portion of the agenda. He stated he didn't think there would be unanimous votes on the Council because of the tension, unless the make-up of the Council changes. He felt decorum is important, but felt the Council should allow the people to express their concerns even if there is a difference of opinion. He stated Rancho's safe City rating has dropped. He felt our City needs a plan to protect the citizens and lower the crime rate. '" '" '" '" '" '" II D.

Councilmember Williams stated she would like to hear the same information so that the meeting will include all of the Council because she felt this was critical.

Councilmember Williams stated she would like to hear these comments herself and suggested a Council workshop. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated if that is Council's direction he would schedule the workshop. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he was excited about the opening of the Cultural Center, Library and Animal Shelter. He stated he gets frustrated that there are so many good things happening in the City, and then there are people that get up and state negative things that are misleading. He felt the public should be given the opportunity to hear the truth. He stated he is happy to be part of this City. He felt most people want to know what the issues are. Councilmember Michael stated he would like to hear a clarification on comments made by people under Public Communications so he knows if things being said are true or false. He stated our City prides itself on public safety, and added we do have a Strategic Plan. He stated the City is funding the necessary levels of public safety service. Councilmember Williams stated public safety is the Council's number one concern. She stated it is quiet at the State level with no action being taken. She commented on AB 2987 - Telecommunications Bill - and stated this will be very confusing to everyone with this new legislation once it is approved. She stated it is remarkable what the City has accomplished these last few weeks. She stated volunteers are needed to work the book stores at both libraries. She mentioned the PAL house drawing and encouraged everyone to buy their tickets for the upcoming drawings. Mayor Alexander stated he agreed with what Councilmember Michael stated, but felt the rules being enforced with the public should also be followed by the Council.
