I. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
11. Jennie Johnson indicated that she was present to raise awareness about the lack of resources
for homeless youth.
12. Jim Heitman, representing the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, thanked the City
and its leadership team for helping to foster a great local economy and a business friendly
environment. He announced upcoming grand openings and a new member meet and greet on
March 12, 2013 at Lucille's.
13. Kevin King was appalled when he attended a recent open house on the lack of dogs. He
expressed a concern with housing one dog per kennel. Mr. King questioned why the City would
turn away volunteer help.
14. Ondra Gilbertson spoke about her experiences at the Animal Care and Services Center, noting
that volunteers are desperately needed. She indicated that no videos are being taken of the play
groups, and stated that when she comes in half of the dogs in the facility have not been walked.
15. Dana Keithly noted that some dog beds had holes in them and some dogs did not even have
beds. She wondered how the money from the Furry Friends Festival was being used. Ms. Keithly
pointed out that the terminated volunteers were not costing the taxpayers any money. She noted
that volunteer activities are now being done by staff or not at all. She recently contacted a local
business and was told that the Center staff had told them that it didn't have the volunteer force to
provide adoptions at their business.
16. Susan Keithly questioned the documents provided by the Center on the number of volunteers
and the volunteer hours. She noted that there are only 80 active volunteers, not 150. Two
volunteers had hours carried over from 2011. Volunteers are receiving recognition for time they did
not work. Ms. Keithly noted that the Center is not thriving and stated that more dogs have been
euthanized than ever before.
17. Jeff Widen spoke about the regulations in Chapter 17.68.060 of the Municipal Code relating to
recreational vehicles. He questioned why code enforcement is not following the regulations but
instead are using existing case law to ignore the Municipal Code.
18. Victor Muniz distributed a letter to the City Council, requesting an audited report of
expenditures on Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 (LMD 2). He noted that the City's response
to his previous request was unacceptable and indicated that he refused the documents that were
provided. Mr. Muniz noted that he was disappointed with the misleading brochure that was
recently mailed to the property owners. He indicated that he would meet with the Mayor to discuss
actions that could be taken in LMD 2 but not to discuss a tax increase.
19. Terry Jacobs addressed Ms. Keithly's statements regarding her volunteer service. Ms. Jacobs
provides foster care and began volunteering for the Animal Care and Services Center in 2006. She
stated that she had a significant vested interest in how the funds are being used and stressed that
all money donated to the Center goes to the Center. She was proud and thankful of the services
that were provided to the community.
110. John Lyons referenced Mr. Muniz's statements and pointed out that the assessment is not a
tax, but a fee for service. He spoke about his dog, Crunch, and his good relationship with the
Animal Care and Services Center. Lastly, Mr. Lyons reported that the Sacred Heart Catholic
Church will be hosting a 50th anniversary celebration for Rev. Fred Gaglia.
