APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE $12,000.00 IN FUND 75
(ETIWANDA/HIGHLAND IMPROVEMENT) FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FORMATION OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 88-2
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the appropriation of $12,000 for Fund 75
(EtiwandaJI-Iighland Improvement) for costs associated with the formation of Community Facilities
District No. 88-2.
Background/Analysis
On April 7, 1994 the City Council approved the formation of Community Facilities District No. 88-2
(North Etiwanda/Highland) for drainage. Bonds were sold to reimburse the costs incurred during the
formation of the district and said payments were made in Fiscal Year 1993/94. However the City has
received an additional invoice from BOWNE of Los Angeles Inc. for the printing of the Official
Statements. BOWNE was very late in submitting an invoice for payment and said invoice was not
considered in the fiscal year 1994/95 budget. Therefore, staff is asking for an appropriation to cover these
costs. The improvement fund has sufficient monies for this appropriation.

APPROVAL OF REQUEST FROM ALTA LOMA LITT! ,E LEAGUE FOR
INFIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT HERITAGE COMMUNITY PARK
RECOMMENDATION
The Park and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council approve a request from
Alta Loma Little League for infield improvements to Playfields #2 and #3 subject to City conditions
listed below.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Heritage Community 'Park was developed with two 60' playfields (Playfields #1 and #2) and one 90'
playfield (Playfield #3). All playfields are used primarily for baseball with dirt rather than grass
in~elds. In an effort to enhance the playfields, Alta Loma Little League has requested that they be
allowed to provide grass infields for Playfields #2 and #3.
Park Development, Public Works and Community Services staff have discussed the Project
requirements to grass the infields with Alta Loma Little League who has agreed to undertake the
Project subject to the following conditions:
1. The architectural design and conslxuction working drawings and plans will be developed in
accordance with City standards and subject to Public Works approval. Performance bonds and
public liability insurance coverage will also be required for the Project.
2. All improvement project costs will be borne by Alta Loma Little League. Infield maintenance
costs will be covered by the Public Works Department. No additional maintenance costs are
anticipated.
3. Playfield #3 will be designed and constructed to accommodate 80' and 90' baseball play.
Playfield #2 will accommodate 60' baseball play.
4. All field improvements will be constructed to benefit the community and public at-large, as
well as Alta Loma Little League and other City Little Leagues inasmuch as the playfields are part
of Heritage Community Park.

1995, the Sports Advisory Committee also discussed this item and recommended approval of this
request.
FISCAI, IMPACT

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING REWARD AMOUNT FOR
GRAFFITI TIPSTERS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution which
establishes a reward amount of $250.00 for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of an individual for violations of various City and State codes
having to do with graffiti and vandalism.
BACKGROUND/ANAI.YSIS
The City Council adopted an ordinance dealing with graffiti. The ordinance
had a number of provisions dealing with various aspects of the graffiti
problem. One of the provisions, Section 8.24.080 of the Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code, allowed the City to give rewards to citizens turning in graffiti
vandals.
While the original ordinance of the City Council established the mechanism
for rewards, it did not establish the amount of the reward. The attached
resolution establishes the reward amount at $250.00. This amount can be
adjusted at any time by the City Council if a particular situation warrants.

Olen Jones, Senior Redevelopment Analyst
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF MULTI-FAMILY
HOUSING REVENUE BONDS FOR THE PERMANENT REFINANCING OF
RANCHO VERDE VILLAGE, AND RELATED ACTIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct the public hearing required by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Reform Act of 1982
(TEFRA) for the issuance of the bonds.
BACKC, Rt31 ~Nl3
In August, 1993, the Agency provided a loan to Southern California Housing
Development Corporation (SCHDC) to assist in the acquisition of Rancho Verde
Village, a 240 unit apartment complex located at Grove Avenue and 8th Street. As
consideration for the loan, SCHDC agreed to provide 40% of the units as affordable
to four targeted income groups for a minimum of 30 years. The seller of the
property, Essex Corporation, provided short-term financing for the acquisition.
ANAI.YSIS
SCHDC has arranged for a tax-exempt mortgage from Home Savings to replace the
short-term finandng, and reduce their debt service payments, thereby reducing the
project's operating expenses. Under federal guidelines, such a mortgage qualifies
technically as an issuance of tax-exempt bonds, and therefore requires that the City
and Agency follow the procedures as if such bonds were being sold. The mortgage is
a "conduit financing," meaning that proceeds will be used by a non-governmental
borrower (SCHDC) for a public purpose (in this case, the provision of affordable
housing). The mortgage will be secured by Rancho Verde Village, and will not
impact the Agency's ability to issue future bonds when needed.
February 15, 1995
Staff Report - Ratwho Verde Village Refmancing
Page 2
TEFRA requires that prior to the issuance of any such tax-exempt debt, the
appropriate legislative body must hold a public hearing on the proposed issue. No
City Council action is required at the close of the public hearing on February 1, 1995.
However, the City Council will consider a resolution approving the sale on
February 15, 1995. Sale documents and contracts with bond counsel and
underwriters also will be presented to the Redevelopment Agency for approval on
February 15, 1995.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPOINT A CITY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council appoint a delegate from the City Council to act as a liaison to the State
Legislatttre.
BACKGROUND:
This year the League of Califomia Cities Board of Directors has voted to establish a City
Legislative Delegate Program to help strengthen the grassroots effort of the League on such
critical issues as the State budget deliberations. The League has asked each City to designate a
member of the City Council to act as a liaison to the legislators in their area. This project comes
under the guidance of the Mayors and Council Members Department of the League.
ANALYSIS:
The League hopes to achieve several goals with the implementation of this program. They are as
follows:
> Establish stronger personal contacts with legislators in each area
> Establish regular communication on city issues
> Establish greater communication between the city delegate and the rest of the city

PROPOSAL TO TURN CENTRAL PARK INTO A WORKING VINEYARD
lIECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council approve the concept of using Central Park as a working grape vineyard;
staff be instructed to work with local growers; and the City Attorney to structure an agreement to be presented
to the City Council for their approval at a future date.
BA CKGROUND/A NA ! ,YSIS
At the City Council meeting of August 3, 1994, Council directed staff to review the feasibility of utilizing
CenWal Park as a working grape vineyard. Subsequently Mr. Gino Filippi submitted a proposal to farm Central
Park as a grape vineyard. Mr. Filippi has made on site visits to Central Park end found that a grape crop
currently exists even though it has not been fanned for some time. Mr. Filippi has stated the type of grape on
the site is mostly Zinfandel which is currently at a premium. Staff has reviewed this proposal and agree the
concept is feasible and would greatly improve the appearance of the park site.
With authorization from Council on the concept, staff will contact local winery families to determine if there
is any interest other than Mr. Filippi's proposal.
At this time staff requests the City Council approve the concept of Central Park being leased for the purpose
of grape vineyard fanning and authorize staff and the City Attorney to negotiate with a local grower to establish
a lease agreement to come back to Council for approval at a later date.

Direction from 8/3/94 Council Meeting - Central Park site discussion
Mayor Stout stated he asked for this item to be on the agenda because he wanted to get the
feeling of the Council about this. He stated we once had plans of going forward with the
development of Central Park in a very expeditious way, and as a restfit of budgetary problem
with the state primarily, we had to put those plans on hold. He said he was noticing the other day
especially that the property there iS beginning to go to seed and is beginning to look awful and is
causing fire hazard problems and so forth in his opinion. He said there are still productive vines
in a portion of that and that he had talked with one of the winery families here who cultivate
those types of plants and asked the possibility of putting some of that back in cultivation, at least
on a temporary basis. He said he would ask that if the Council concurs with this that the staff
contact some of the winery families who are familiar with those types of grapevines and examine
the possibility of putting them back into cultivation. He felt it would look more attractive, and it
is possible it might raise a little revenue which might go into a trust fund for the development of
Central Park, but in the event if it doesn't develop any revenue, at the very least it will look a lot
more attractive than what we have now. He felt if the fallow is left the way it is too much longer
it is going to attain some type of status as environmental echo System that requires protection
under the Environmental Protection Act. He felt it was clear that the intention is to use that piece
of property as a park and would like it to have the appearance of at least some agriculture use or
manmade efforts on it.
Chuck Buquet felt it was an excellent idea. He felt they might want to, as some of his other
client cities has done, they took some of their vacant park sites and planted wild flowers in future
park sites that were otherwise overgrown with weeds, and it's actually minimal maintenance and
its really an attractive thing to have and will last a lot longer than you normally have with the
weed cycle that we currently have. He said this was in case they can't do it all if it is cost
prohibitive. That this would lend some color to brighten it up.
Diane Willinms stated she felt Mayor Stout had consensus and felt it was a good idea.
Mayor Stout asked Jack to look into this please.
Jack Lain stated yes.

HISTORIC I,ANDMARK DESIGNATION 88-04 - CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA - A proposal to designate the Regina/Ellena Brothers Winery,
located at 12467 Baseline Road as an Historic Landmark - APN: 227-161-10 and 24
and 227-111-27.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council approve by resolution the designation of a portion (see Exhibit "A") of the
Regina/Ellena Brothers Winery as an Historic Landmark.
BACKGROUND/ANAl ,YSIS
This item was continued from the City Council meeling of January 17, 1995. The continuance was
in order for staff to evaluate and report back on whether limits could be placed on the size and
configuration of the historic landmark designation area of effect. Prior to this date, the Designation
had been tabled since May 4, 1988 by the City Council. The prior continuance was granted at the
previous owner's (Nabisco Brands Inc.) request, since no changes were then being contemplated.
In June of 1993, the subject site was purchased by the Rancho Cucarnonga Redevelopment Agency
as a Senior Affordable Housing Development Project. Recently, the Re, development Agency entered
into an agreement with Filippi Wineries to use pan of the existing site as a Wine Tasting Room and
Banquet Facility. At the request of the lessees, Councilmember Diane Williams requested the matter
be brought back for the Council's decision.
Details concerning the historical significance are contained in the attached copy of the Historic
Preservation Commission Staff Report dated April 7, 1988, and the City Council Staff Report dated
May 4, 1988. In summary, however; it is acknowledged that this winery has been in its present
location for more than 50 years and was run by a well-known Etiwanda family. The Regina brand
wine products were produced here until the last few years. As an interim use, the current plans are
to associate another well-known local vinmer's product with the site. Thus the site, with its buildings
and equipment, represents a historically complete compendium of winery production, marketing and
sales stretching from 1906 to present.

CONCLUSION
After carefully evaluating the building, equipment, and operations associated with winery industry
during the life 0f the facility, staff has prepared the enclosed site plan as Exhibit "A," which
illustrates the minimum area that should be designated and still retain the historical character of the
site.

General Plan Designations:
Project Site - High Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre)
North - Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per
acre)
South - High Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre)
East - High Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre)
West - Neighborhood Conmnercial
Site Characteristics: The site is an island within the
Victoria Planned Community and the topography is relatively
flat. To the east of the buildings is a parking lot and picnic
grounds that were constructed to accommodate a restaurant and
dell that were once housed in the easternmost building. The
grounds are paved and almost entirely bare of landscaping.
To the east is a windrow of Eucalyptus trees and a residence
with farm buildings. Host of the surrounding area is
undeveloped. Some of the winery buildings are within a few
feet of Base Line Road.
The old restaurant, which wraps around the Ellena House, is
empty, but all other buildings are used in the processing of
grapes into cooking wine, etc. A portion of the facility is
used to bottle Wright's Hickory Liquid Smoke. The facility
appears to be in good condition and is well kept. The southern
portion of the site has been graded to accommodate wast,water
ponds that are used in the plant's operation.
ANALYSIS:
Background: The Nabisco Brands, Inc. Regina Cookery Wine and
Wine Vinegar facility, also known as the former Ellena Brothers
Winery is made up of several buildings constructed over many
years in which grapes are processed into wine, and wine into
wine vinegar, flavored cooking wines, and cooking sherries.
Ellena Brothers also produced table wines at the facility at
one time. The buildings house huge storage containers,
bottling machinery, a distillery, cooling machinery, sherry
cookers, fermenting tanks, pressing machinery, as well as
facilities for bottling Hickory Liquid Smoke. A section
adjacent to the former restaurant contains the current office
and a portion of the facility formerly used to bottle wine is
now an employee dining room.
The restaurant portion was built around the Ellena House whose
first floor outer walls and windows are now inside. The
original wine cellar still exists. According to Mrs. Arnold
E11 ena, widow of the youngest of the E11 ena Brothers, the house
HPC STAFF REPORT
RE: HLD 31
April 7, 1988
Page 3
at the very least predated her father-in-law Claudio Ellena's
death which was in 1920 when her husband was seven years old.
The restaurant was constructed in the late 1960's in
Mediterranean style architecture. Its entrance can be seen on
the north side of the easternmost building. The empty
restaurant is cavernous. The plant supervisor, Eugent L.
Cherpin, who kindly gave staff a tour of the plant, said that
Ronald Reagan ate at the restaurant a number of times while he
was Governor of California. It closed in the 1970's. For a
while, it was used as a Lion's Club facility.
Adjacent to the old house are buildings constructed in the
1930's for the winery and added to over the years. Mrs. Ellena
said that the huge building west of the house, the most
attractive building in the complex, had already been
constructed by 1936, the year of her marriage. The buildings
contain bottling rooms, offices, large epoxy-lined tanks, and a
wine laboratory. A chilling room is filled with enormous round
redwood tanks, the largest of which holds 31,000 gallons.
Outside stands a stainless steel tank that holds 350,000
gallons. It was constructed in 1980. The tallest structure on
the property is a distillery which uses by-products from the
wine to make 190 proof alcohol which is used to fortify the
sherries. The sttll is relatively new, but the corrugated
metal building in which it is housed was constructed in the
1930's. Another butlding on the property contains a fermenting
room. Over the entry, the words "ELLENA BROS. 1945" are
pressed into concrete. The 'N" in "ELLENA" is backwards. The
outdoor grape crusher is on the western end of the property.
Outing grape season, August 15 to October 30, trucks loaded
with grapes dump up to 500 tons a day of the fruit into the
crusher.
The overall environment is that of a clean and smoothly running
facility. The odor of wine permeates the air inside many of
the buildings.
During the period that the plan for the Victoria Planned
Conm~unity was being developed, the property was owned by
Heublein, as indicated on the Specific Plan maps. It is shown
as "not a part" of the Victoria Planned Conmnunity. Assessor
records indicate that the current owners are Del Monte. The
plant supervisor explained that Del Monte and Nabisco Brands
are divisions of R.J. Reynolds and that the Regina plant was
recently switched from the Del Monte to the Nabisco division.

The architecture of the complex is utilitarian and overall does
not present a cohesive appearance, but the 1930's buildings are
somewhat attractive. The significance of this complex,
however, does not depend on its architecture.
B. Significance of Ellena Brothers Winery:
Historic Back round: According to "Cucamonga Wines and
Vines" a 19~ Claremont Graduate Yester of Arts
, School
thesis written by James D. Nofer, Claudio Ellena came to
the Cucamonga area from Italy by way of Australia, and
early in the century he planted vineyards near Etiwanda. A
photograph of the winery on Page 59 in Etiwanda, The First
100 Years, published in 1982, indicates that the winery was
built in 1906, but James Hofer's thesis says that James and
Frank Ellena, two of Claudio Ellena's sons, began operating
their winery in 1933. The Historic Resources Inventory
Form gives an estimated date of 1937 for the buildings. It
seems likely that the original Ellena house was built in
1906 (and contained a small winery in the cellar), whereas
the complex of buildings that make up the winery today
began when Prohibition was ending in 1933.
The brothers made the sweet wines this area was famous for
as well as champagne, brandies, and Italian-style red table
wines. They also produced Regina brand wine vinegar and
cooking wines. John Ellena served as President of the
Ellena Brothers Corporation, and was Chairman of the Board
of the Wine Institute at the time that he gave an address
to the Wine Vinegar Board in 1956. He was also a member of
the State Wine Board. Frank Ellena was for many years a
member of the Ettwanda School Board.
This Winery has been in its present location for more than
fifty years and was run by a well-known Etiwanda family.
Regina brand wine products have been produced here for more
than fiftyyears and continue to be produced here.
2. City Policies
The current General Plan clearly supports the preservation
of wineries. The following statement is on Page 164 of the
Cemunity Design Section Landmarks and Focal Points
Policies of the 1984 Rancho Cucamenga General Plan:
HPC STAFF REPORT
RE: HLD 31
April 7, 1988
Page 5
"Wineries have played a significant
role in the culture and heritage of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga. Existing
wineries that operate for the purpose
of selling bottled wine, or as a
historic landmark should be allowed to
continue to operate and expand their
operations to i ncl ude restaurants,
retail wine sales, gift shops, and
other related activity. It is not
meant to encourage new wineries to
begin operation within the City, but to
preserve those wineries currently in
operati on."
On Page 123 of the Community Design Section of
the the General Plan says:
"The image of Rancho Cucamonga is
defined largely by its physical and
historic context. The City has evolved
from three small rural coneunities,
Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda; and
this agricultural heritage is important
to its identity. Vineyards and
wineries provide visual ties to that
heritage. As the City becomes
increasingly urban, any recollection of
that historic image could easily be
lost. While it is not feasible to
preserve the area's former rural
function, it is possible to retain
associative ties with the past."
There are other statements in the General Plan that do not
mention wineries directly, but which can be interpreted to
support preservation of wineries such as this one. For
example, Page 124 says,
"...to strengthen the image and
identity of the City, future
development and public improvement
should..preserve and develop elements
of the City's built form which provide
a sense of its origins and history...'

RE: HLD 31

The Ellena Brothers Winery is a highly visible landnerk
that has been and continues to be a part of the area's
historic wine industry. Thus, despite the fact that the
winery is not housed in buildings of outstanding
architectural value, it is none the less significant.
Issues: The Nabisco Brands, Inc. Regina Cooking Wine and Wine
Vinegar plant is a non-conforming industrial use, since it is
zoned for residential use. The winery is currently restricted
from neking changes that would increase the degree of non-
conformity; therefore the plant cannot expand.
Another issue is the widening of Base Line Road. The buildings
are only a few feet from the current roadway and will be a
problem if and when the road is widened.
A third issue is the appearance of the winery. The collection
of buildings does not visually cemunicate to the public that
it is a winery.
D. Environmental Assessment: Designation of a landmrk is exempt
from CEQA requirements (Article 19, Section 15308).
III. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: Criteria in the Ordinance that staff thinks
are applicable are as follows:
A. Historical and Cultural Significance:
1. The proposed landmrk is particularly representative of an
historical period, type, style, region, or way of life.
2. The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned,
important, or local personality.
3. The proposed landmark is connected with a business or use
which was once common but is now rare.
B. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting:
The proposed landmrk in its location represents an
established and familiar visual feature of the
neighborhood, conmmnity or city.
IV.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing
in mhe D2~ Report newspaper, the property has been posted, and
notices to all property owners within 300 feet of the site.
The property ~ers have been notified and staff talked with the
plant supervisor on !qarch 22, 1988.
.Pc ST F .EPO.T

RECOMMENDATION: Staff reconmnends that the Historic Preservation
Commission recommend to the City Council that they adopt a
Resolution designating the Ellena Brothers Winery as Historic
Landmark No. 31 because it meets the criteria established in the
Historic Preservation Ordinance, as well as being in conformance
with the City's General Plan.
Other reconmnendations to address the issues stated previously are
as follows:
That the Historic Preservation Conmnission direct staff
to explore the possibility of developing a Historic
Overlay Zone within which non-conforming uses such as
this winery would be allowed with a Conditional Use
Permit to change and expand in ways that are beneficial
to the City and to the landmark.
That the City work with the owner of the landmark on
the issue of street widening in the future. Landmark
status is for the use rather than for the architecture
and should not prevent some accommodation for the
future road.
That the City encourage the owners to continue to use
the facility as a winery and to present a higher
profile as a winery. In addition, through the
mechanism of a Special Overlay Zone and a Conditional
Use Permit, the City should encourage the owners to
alter or add to their buildings to meet their needs and
in the future possibly to develop the site or a portion
of the site as a wine-related retail/commercial
facility.

STAFF REPORT
From
William J. O'Neil, City Engineer
By:
Bob Zetterberg, Integrated Waste Coordinator
Subject:
GRAFFITI LIPDATE
The purpose of this report is to update the City Council on Graffid activity for FY 94/95.
Public Works Maintenance proactive posture towards graffiti has developed a
surveillance program similar to the program used to monitor roadway and construction
zone safety. The graffiti crew checks specific areas first thing in the morning and
removes any graffiti on the site or in route to these sites.
As part of the Public Works Maintenance program during the holiday season
(Thanksgiving through New Years) two crews were patrolling the City as well as
monitoring the Graffiti Hotline to keep the community clean. We showed an increase in
square footage of graffiti removed through these efforts plus eliminating some of the
checkerboard areas in the fight of way.
Staff has prepared a graph showing the number of graf~ti oriented service order requests
received since July 1, 1994. Service Orders Requests for Gratriti have shown a decrease
since July 1, 1994, this may due in part to the Public Works proactive stance and a new
graf~ti trailer that is more efficient in removing graffiti As of this date all Service Order
Requests and Council contacts have been completed.
The Adopt A Wall program has also seen a slight increase in graf~ti activity over
previous months. Graf~ti in the Adopt A Wall areas remains lower then in years past
with only one area in the southwest comer of Rancho Cucamonga reporting continued
graffiti, meanwhile others have received a spattering for the first time in months.
Staff will be sending a letter to the Adopt A Wall volunteers to update the files and invite
them to a meeting renewing their commitment to the War on Graffiti.
Code Enforcement indicates that they have not seen any increase in reported graf~ti on
private property. Code enforcement has made contact with the Mobile station on the
northeast comer of Arrow and Archibald and has been succe&sful in getting them to paint
over graffiti. In addition Code Enforcement informed the station manager that there is
free recycled paint available at the Corporate Yard.
Staff is continuing to pursue efforts to initiate a project to eliminate the Checkerboard
appearance of complete wall panels throughout the city. The three high schools will be
solicited to participate in a cleanup in the spring for community service projects.
We will continue to provide the Council with regular monthly updates on graffiti
activities. If you have any questions feel free to call me.

Mayor Alexander
Rancho Cucamonga
City Council
Dear Mayor Alexander:
RE: REWARD FOR THE MURDERERS OF JOSHUA REXFORD
Thank you for meeting with me on January 31, 1995 when we
discussed the death of my son Joshua Rexford. My son was a normal
teenager, not involved in gangs or drug sales. He played
football at A.B. Miller High School, and was loved and respected
by people in every social. economic. and racial group.
He left my home at 8:00 on Sunday morning November 27, 1994 with
2 friends who came to pick him up. He went to their apartment
where the boys played nintendo. When someone knocked on the door
one of the boys hollered. "Come in." Three men entered the
apartment with guns drawn. They shot my son 3 times in the chest
and stomach. once in the arm. and once in the leg.
At that time i understand my son went into shock from the event,
the pain. ,~nd ~tur'ndl bleeding. He didn't understand what had
happened to him or why. He bled to death at Loma Linda Hospital
five hours later. I'm s~,re your children would have been as
unresponsive as my Joshua was, given the same circumstances.
My son did not'normally go to the apartment where the event took
place. He was trying to spend a little time with as many of his
friends and acquaintances as possible during the holidays,
because he planned to move to Utah on January 5, 1995.
RAYLON MARIO GREEN, age 27, has been positively identified as one
of the gunmen. He was released from prison in 1992 where he
served time for a murder he committed as a teenager. He has been
on the streets for 2 years. His adopted father, a Vice Principle
at Fontana Jr. High School, got him a job working as a Disk
Jockey at various schools in Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana.
Green does not associate with people his own age. He associates
exclusively with teenagers, and apparently instructs nhem in the
art form of murder. The other suspects appear to be high school
students ~rom a local continuation school. ~
Green has recently been seen in Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana. and
cities within a close proximity. He has not left the area and
has contacted the detectives on several occasions to tell them to
"catch me if you can." He has eaten dinner at your local
Kentucky Fried Chicken on a regular basis since the murder.
The merchants in Rancho Cucamonga are not happy when they are
shown posters of Raylon Green. They frequently recognize him
from h~s picture, and do not understand why he is still on the
streets.
Green is a very dangerous man, who never should have been
released from jail after he committed the first murder. My son
was a victim who didn't even know Green or the others involved.
This animal must be removed from the streets before he kills
again. He has no conscience and no respect for the law.
The Detectives involved in my son's case agree that a
offered by the city would be appropriate at this time.
it may be the only way to get RayIon Green out of hiding.
REWARD,
They say
Please help us by posting a reward of at least $10,000.00
No child will be safe until Raylon Green is behind bars.
My son will never be able to come home to me or his father again.
During the holidays I spent every waking moment tracing my son,
Joshua's foot steps during his last 6 months of life. The day my
son was murdered the Fontana Police verbally attacked me at the
hospital. They said Josh must have belonged to a gang or
selling drugs. I have spoken to everyone my son associated with,
and have analyzed his every move for that 6 month period. My son
"absolutely was not" a gang member, and absolutely was not
involve with the sale of drugs.
There were from 500 to 800 people at my son's funeral. The
largest Me[hodist Church in Ontario was not big enough to
accommodate everyone who loved my son and wanted to say good-by.
People stood in the aisles. and on the streets waiting in line.
Does thai sound like a gang member to you.
In other words, this could have happened to any one of your
children.
Please help us so
we have.
that another family will not
suffer as
Thank You,
Dawn Rexford-Hall
and Family
