THE FOLLOWING ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA HEARD AT THIS TIME CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE RETENTION OF PETE ORTIZ AS THE CAPTAIN (POLICE CHIEF) OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA POLICE STATION Vice ChairmanNice PresidenUMayor Pro Tem Diane Williams stated that she requested the Addendum as staff has been informed by the Sheriff's Office that Captain (Chief) Ortiz will be transferred from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Station. She felt it was important to have a resolution in the public record to state the position of the City. She read Resolution No. 07-165 proclaiming outstanding, strategic and effective law enforcement services by Captain Ortiz for the community of Rancho Cucamonga. Councilmember Gutierrez stated that he has appreciated the job of Captain (Chief) Ortiz and hopes it will continue. He said there are current initiatives that are important to the City and the City needs the continuity to keep them going in the right direction. He said there are things as a Council that we are doing besides a simple resolution to spread the word that we really love Pete Ortiz and we do not want him to leave. He said that is the problem with a contract that is run by an entity that we cannot control. He said he hopes the Sheriff will understand that this City has needs too, and we are the premiere contract of the County and deserve more consideration. Councilmember Michael stated he thinks the world of the job that Pete Ortiz has done; he said his prayer is that he, just like previous captains from the past, ends up in a higher position in the County. He said we've known all along that the chances of our police chief staying indefinitely are slim or none. He said it is our obligation as a Council to have some dialog amongst ourselves to see what might strengthen the language in the contract so that we can have a say in the future. He said he supports the Sheriff's Department. He said we have had and enjoyed the finest contract for police protection services and to even consider our own police department would be economically and fiduciarily something that he would not entertain. He said his heart goes out to Captain Ortiz but he knows that the Sheriff has the ultimate authority to make those decisions. Councilmember Spagnolo added that the City's relationship with the Sheriff's Department has been excellent. He said it's a credit to the organization to know that the Sheriff thinks enough about this community that he brings people like Pete Ortiz here knowing full well that we're in good hands. He said we hate to see him leave, but our judgment still goes with the Sheriff. He said we have high expectations for whoever comes into the position. He said the resolution states what we feel about his accomplishments and the positive impact he has had with the people in this community. He said that he hopes this is a stepping stone for Captain (Chief) Ortiz.
