L PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Pro Tem Williams commented on the new procedure for public communications and read the
procedure from the agenda.
11. John Lyons asked that a staff report be given on item K12 so he can understand the historical
significance. He stated Monday night was a great meeting and felt Mayor Pro Tem Williams did a great
job. He said hello to our troops overseas who might be watching the meeting over the Internet. He
reminded parents to be responsible with their kids during this graduation season with regards to drinking
and driving. He also talked about illegal immigration and encouraged people to call their Congressman.
12. Gary Lacy extended his well wishes to Mayor Kurth and his family. He distributed a letter which is on
file in the City Clerk's office. He asked that his request to give a presentation on the present fire
department system and delivery of public safety be placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
13. Mitch McGarry talked about the day laborers on Grove and Arrow. He wanted to share with the
Council the feelings of the homeowners that live in this area due to the day laborers congregating. He
stated at the last meeting, day laborers and those against the day laborers were heard, and that he now
wanted people to hear from the homeowners in this area. He told about them congregating in the
neighborhoods and sleeping in fields, eating, urinating, defecating, throwing trash, etc. during the course
of their day. He stated one time one of them attempted to break in to his house. He concluded by
wishing Mayor Kurth well.
14. Victor Muniz wanted to complain about something that occurred last September at his home. He
stated his wall was being uprooted by City trees that had been planted. He stated he called the City to
look into it, and that he had also filed a claim. He stated the City was going to reject his claim. He felt
those that looked at this were not civil engineers. He stated he was forced to file a lawsuit last week (a
copy is on file in the City Clerk's office). He thanked Councilmember Gutierrez for getting the signal at
Milliken and Fairmont.
15. Bill Hanlon talked about patriotism and the flying of our Nation's flag. He felt we need a memorial site
to recognize those who have died for our freedom.
16. Lindsey Rehfeld stated she is with Visiting Angels who assist seniors with non-medical needs. She
wanted to make the Council aware of their program, and that they would have an open house at 400 N.
Mountain in Upland on June 21. They can be contacted at 982-4646. She stated she is glad to serve the
seniors from her home community. The event is from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
17. Dee Barrow wished Mayor Kurth a speedy recovery and hoped the Council will be receptive to what
the Minuteman have to say. She stated it is not that the Minutemen are against the day laborers, but
have taken the time to let City leaders know about the problem. She didn't feel illegal aliens should be
able to speak as long as they want and others only given three (3) minutes.

I8. Jim Moffatt stated 60 years ago today was "D Day," but that we have had more wars since then. He
stated all of these people gave their lives so we can be free. He told about the USO at the old Ontario
Terminal. He stated it is a great organization that helps our military when they come to the Inland Empire.
19. Raymond Herrera, Minuteman Project, stated there were illegal aliens at the last meeting who
proclaimed so. He stated they had also been accused of a killing and a kidnapping at the last meeting.
He stated they do not do things like that. He felt the City of Rancho Cucamonga is acting illegally when it
comes to day laborers. He felt any committees that are established should have Minutemen
representatives included at their meetings.
110. Ed Hills stated he wanted to talk about recent marijuana articles from the Daily Bulletin. He told
about drug busts that had recently occurred near Victoria Gardens. He asked that dispensaries be
banned from the City, pass a Resolution notifying the Governor that the City is against legalized
marijuana and ask surrounding cities to do the same.
111. Morten Eriksen talked about a park that is on Garcia in his neighborhood, and that he is not getting
anywhere with Engineering because of the contractor's trailer that has graffiti all over it. He asked that
the Council follow up on this to get it taken care of. He was amazed at the people that speed by stopped
school busses unloading kids when they should be stopping. He asked the Council to talk to the Police
Department to help with this problem. He did not feel the kids should be endangered.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams referred him to the Police Chief.
Councilmember Gutierrez wanted to make sure someone on staff would take care of the issue at the
park.
112. Jim Frost felt it was great that the Mayor realized he had a problem and admitted himself to the
hospital. He talked about his motorcycle Ride for the Wall Event in May that took him to Washington,
D.C. He stated he would like to meet with the Council and get their involvement for next year's Ride far
the Wall event.
113. Leslie Grimes talked about what happened at the last meeting with the illegal aliens, and stated one
of them actually said they had a green card and also voted for Rex Gutierrez. She wondered how many
people vote all the time. She felt bad about the Council saying things about people from out of the City
coming to our meetings, and disagreed with their position about this. She stated she knows how they felt
because she feels this way when she goes to Upland meetings. She felt sorry for the man that died
because he was hit by a car. She stated there are concerns about people being here illegally and didn't
feel people should be hypocrites about this issue.
114. Tony Mize of the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation talked about the PAL Campaign and
their efforts toward raising money for the Cultural Center. He mentioned last year's house raffle and its
success. He stated they are getting ready for their 2nd house raffle to start on June 22, and felt this year
would be more exciting. He stated this year would have a luxury lifestyle package because it would
include one of the condos being built by Shea homes located behind the Cultural Center and would
include a new motorhome, a new Lexus, and a Prius car for a total of $1,000,000 or cash price at
$850,000. He encouraged the community to support this fundraiser.
115. Gary Nance stated he drove by the day laborer center today, and added Rancho Cucamonga does
not need a day laborer center. He felt Rancho Cucamonga should solve these problems and did not feel
government should ignore their responsibility. He stated he attempted at the last meeting to make a
citizen's arrest of an illegal alien, but got no cooperation from the Police Department. He stated he could
not understand this.

J. AGENCY/FIRE BOARD/COUNCIL RESPONSES TO PUBLIC'
COMMENTS
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he did attend the Run for the Wall dinner that Jim Frost was involved in.
He continued talking about the event. He stated he would love to work with Mr. Frost on next year's
event. He stated he does not condone any illegal activity, including illegal immigration. He stated he is in
favor of what the Minuteman are trying to achieve, but that he does get frustrated when the meeting gets
disruptive like it was at the last meeting. He stated people are always welcome to come to the City and
speak. He stated Rancho Cucamonga is trying to find a way to legally clean up that neighborhood, and
that the City does not support that activity.

CITY COUNCIL
M1.
85-082
A staff report and power point presentation were given by Mike Ten Eyck, Administrative Resources
Manager, which is on file in the City Clerk's office.
Mike Arreguin from Burrtec Waste Industries came forward and wished Mayor Kurth a speedy recovery.
He stated this is a very minimal increase. He stated they have been working on the City's Green Waste
Program, and that many residents are excited about moving forward with this. He stated those residents
that have large properties would have a $3.25 charge for an extra container for their green waste. He
asked that their contract that will come up for consideration in 2009 be extended to 2015.
Councilmember Michael asked about the increase and why it was being proposed.
Mr. Arreguin stated it will cover the cost of the equipment they purchased for this service. He
stated residents will still be allowed to put out bundles of branches and Christmas trees each year so it
can be disposed of. He stated if someone has excess material they can call their office and it will be
picked up so they don't have to purchase an extra container.
Councilmember Gutierrez pointed out there is a lower rate for seniors.
Mr. Arreguin stated anyone age 60 or over gets a discount on their refuse collection fee, and they will be
billed accordingly.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated this is a big discount and they should take advantage of this. He asked
how they can provide this service and keep the cost so low with the increase in fuel.
Mr. Arreguin stated this is a challenge.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated he knew some of the seniors were going to get this info so they could
get the lower rate, and felt this was a good program to have.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he didn't think he had ever received a complaint about Burrtec. He felt
they provide very good service and he was very impressed with their operation.

Mr. Arreguin stated customer service is very important to Burrtec.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were
Carol Eriksen stated some of her questions were already answered. She was glad to hear about the
senior rate. She told about a neighbor that was not having their trash picked up and that she reported
them to the Board of Health. She felt people that don't pay for trash pick up should have the fee put in
their taxes. She hoped to see Burrtec's good work continue.
Staff stated there is a mandatory trash pick up for all residents.
Morten Eriksen told about the great service Burrtec provides to the community. He stated he was told by
someone at City Hall that garbage collection is not required but encouraged.
Staff reiterated it is required.
Mr. Eriksen felt the rates were reasonable and felt the senior discount was nice.
Debby Figoni stated she has worked in the solid waste field for 15 years. She stated she was not
completely happy with how Rancho Cucamonga is handling their program. She had suggestions what
she felt would make the program better, which are on file in the City Clerk's office.
Carol Douglas, representing the Alta Loma Riding Club, thanked the City staff and Burrtec for their work
on this. She stated their questions have been answered how this program will help them. She wanted to
know how they can obtain extra green waste barrels.
Mike Ten Eyck, Administrative Resources Manager, stated all they have to do is call Burrtec. He added

P1. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per
Councilmember.)
Councilmember Spagnolo stated there is a need for volunteers at both of our libraries and encouraged
teens to do this. He stated people can call the library and talk to Rene Tobin at 477-2720 ext. 5024 to
sign up to volunteer.
Councilmember Gutierrez thanked people for their public comments. He stated there are a lot of issues
going on in the City and that he hears from at least a couple residents every day. He stated the Council
is committed to making the City safe. He felt more enforcement was needed to monitor cars that aren't
stopping for buses and other traffic issues that are occurring. He stated he is looking forward to the Bass
Pro opening July 18th.
Councilmember Michael stated this Sunday at the Senior Center there is an event for $15 to help the
homebound senior program. He stated last Saturday he attended the neighborhood clean up in the south
part of the City, and stated it was a wonderful day with everyone coming together. He hoped this could
be done once a quarter. He stated this was very successful.
P2. DISCUSSION OF REGULATIONS ON SOLICITORS
A staff report was given by Fabian Villenas, Management Analyst III
Councilmember Gutierrez stated this was brought to the Council's attention from patrons at a
Ralphs Market at Day Creek and Highland, and stated the patron was being treated very aggressively by
a solicitor.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated a store cannot be selective who they allow to solicit and who they
do not allow. He stated the Council could recommend an Ordinance to help aggressive solicitation.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he also hears complaints about solicitors after dark and pan handlers
that are at the freeway entrances as well. He stated there are some things we can do with regards to
time, place and manner in which the soliciting is done. He stated if the Council wants to, they can include
soliciting hours in the Ordinance, but that this would apply to everyone including Girl Scouts, the Salvation
Army, etc. He stated he would be willing to work staff to develop an Ordinance on this.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated they would start working on this.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams stated she has a problem with people dropping off kids to do solicitation in our
City. She wasn't sure how to address this and asked what we could do.
James Markman, City Attorney, felt this was a police matter.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if our City issues solicitor's permits.
Fabian Villenas, Management Analyst III, stated a solicitor must get a badge from our Business License
Department.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated people need to be careful who they open their door to. He felt many of
the solicitors are not getting their solicitor's permit from the City.
Councilmember Michael felt this should be referred to the Public Safety Subcommittee, and then come
back to the whole Council with a recommendation.
Councilmembers Gutierrez and Spagnolo stated they will be happy to work on this.

products in the City.

aspects of this issue, to include drug abuse, and what we can do about it.
R. ADJOURNMENT
