I. PUBLiC COMMUNICATIONS
11. Bill Hanlon pointed out that Rancho Cucamonga did not have anything in the newspaper for any
Memorial Day activities and commented on the cities that did. He mentioned the banner program
pointing out that the City does not pay for these. He commented on a new sign to be built on Foothill
Boulevard with an expense at $1.5 million. He displayed a Resolution from the County of San Bernardino
that was presented to him for his work with Veterans and stated Rancho Cucamonga has done nothing.
He stated the City declared May as Veterans Appreciation Month, but did nothing else to celebrate this.
He asked how he could help to create more celebration for Veterans.
12. Susan Hauptman spoke about Young's Canyon Road and the new park in their neighborhood. She
commented on all the traffic that is in their neighborhood, and that it is very dangerous for the children.
She didn't feel her complaint has received the response it should have from the Police Department. She
stated they would like to have an extension of the park so the kids can walk safely down the street to the
park. She stated they have had a lot of burglaries in their neighborhood since this opened up. She
stated they need something to divert traffic out of their neighborhood. She hoped a solution could be
developed for everyone's safety.
Mayor Pro Tem Michael stated they will have to do a thorough analysis of this and have the Public Works
Subcommittee work on this. He added Ms. Hauptman is welcome to attend and will be notified of these
meetings.
13. Carol Phillips, 25 year resident, stated she has a service where people can come into her business
and they will pray for them. She continued talking about their service to help those people in need, but
stated their hands are also being tied behind their backs. She wished the City could develop something
like this to help people get back into society. She stated she is an advocate of Jesus Christ and hoped
the City will help her and others that need to have a second chance.
14. Lora Scott commended the City for the Resource Center opening recently held. She stated there is
an unmet need in every household. She read a spiritual message and stated everyone knows whose
words these were.
15. Dee Barrow commented on Pomona and the number of illegals that are there and the situation that is
going on and stated she did not agree with it.
16. Raymond Herrera felt the American creed has been violated by illegals in the country. He displayed
pictures of what illegal aliens are doing. He commended the Police Department for the work they are
doing. He felt people want illegals out of America so we can have our country back.
17. Robin Hvidston, Minuteman Project, stated she was also present on May 15th for the flag rally. She
agreed Veterans should be recognized. She displayed a picture of vacant property being used as a hiring
center and stated the owner did not want this. She also had other pictures and talked about other
incidents regarding illegal aliens. She hoped the City will do what they can to stop illegal hiring.
18. John Lyons talked about Mayor Pro Tem Michael's career and service with the City and felt it is
commendable. He stated he and others have volunteered to pay for banners for people that cannot
afford to pay. He talked about voter turnout yesterday and how low it was. He encouraged everyone to
vote in all elections. He continued commenting on yesterday's election.

19. Jim Moffatt displayed the Historic Route 66 sign that is proposed. He felt anyone in the City knows
Foothill Boulevard is Route 66 and didn't think we should pay $1.5 million for it. He felt sidewalks and
roads getting fixed would be a better use of the money. He hoped the Council will reconsider this. He
stated he still felt the City should pay for the banners. He felt there were a lot of businesses that would
contribute to this program.
110. Ed Hill commented on the Run for the Wall event that he was involved in that took place on May
14th. He told about his interaction and discussion with the Veterans while participating. He told how he
got so much from viewing this event and hoped the City will continue to support it.
111. Dianne Wright talked about the opening of Young's Canyon and the situation that was discussed by
Susan Hauptman. She also pointed out there are no speed limit signs on Young's Canyon. She asked
what it would take to get a traffic unit on Henderson Road.
J. AGENCY/I'IRE BOARD/COUNCIL RESPONSES
TO PUBLIC COMMENTS
Councilmember Spagnolo stated there are two memorials in the City at Alta Loma High School and also
in front of Fire Station 1 on Amethyst. He stated it was also pointed out at the last meeting that there will
be a Veterans Memorial at Central Park in the future. He stated the banner program does not have any
money in the account because it is not needed. He stated there is financial assistance for any family that
cannot afford a banner.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated the City could adopt a budget to operate the banner program but
that it would have to be decided whose banner would or would not go up because of funding available.
He stated the program was set up so loved ones of military could honor their loved one by purchasing a
banner. He stated he didn't understand the criticism of this program. He stated Council could change the
banner policy if they want to.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated the people here from North Etiwanda will be dealt with by the Public
Works Subcommittee. He felt all the options will be looked at to come up with a solution. He stated the
City does not operate or support a day laborer site. He stated it is a huge issue and the City wants to find
a solution to this problem.
Mayor Pro Tem Michael responded on Mr. Hill's comments and stated the City takes the Veterans very
seriously. He told what the City did to help with the Run for the Wall event. He stated the City is still
thinking about the best way to run the banner program. He commented on the memorial that will be in at
Central Park. He asked Chief Cusimano to assist with the traffic problems on Young's Canyon.
