I. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
11. Jesse Kreider noted that he was previously employed at the Animal Care and Services
Center and was terminated by the City after speaking out at the January Council meeting. He
wondered why the other employees involved in the matter were allowed to keep their jobs. By
not acting on this the City is sending a message that people shouldn't speak out against
inappropriate acts.
12. Allison Kreider indicated that she is married to Jesse. She noted that Jesse is a Navy
veteran and met or exceeded expectations on previous performance evaluations. She inquired
if Heather would be rewarded with a full promotion. Since there is only one full time male
employee left at the Center, Mrs. Kreider noted that this is a case of discrimination.

13. Susan Keithly indicated that Freedom Courtyard was dedicated on January 12th and Mr.
Kreider stood before the City Council on January 16th. She noted that the sign was clearly
visible the day the volunteers were terminated. Ms. Keithly stated that the kill rate is 46% and
stressed that the terminated volunteers are committed to helping the animals.
14. Dana Keithly noted that she was one of the dismissed volunteers. She noted that Mr. Kreider
was very professional and kind to the volunteers. Ms. Keithly saw the Steinorth sign on
November 11th and again on November 15th and stated that the sign was not removed until
Council Member Steinorth came to the Center. Ms. Keithly noted that the dismissed volunteers
and Mr. Kreider have a first amendment right to free speech and the right to demand that the
City correct the wrong that was done.
15. Melissa Schweigert stated that she attended the volunteer orientation at the Animal Care
and Services Center. There is a new policy requiring volunteers to be interviewed and
fingerprinted. Ms. Schweigert did not understand why this is needed and noted that it restricts
people from volunteering at the Center. It will take two or three months before she is approved
to walk dogs.
16. Vicky Reust noted that she received the Foster Parent of the Year award last year. She read
some of the reasons that the volunteers were dismissed.
17. Dr. William B. Martin II spoke about the importance of the National Day of Prayer. This
year's event will be held on May 2, 2013 from noon to 2:00 p.m. at the Bank of America
courtyard.
18. Victoria Jones invited the City Council and the audience to the 8th Annual Cucamonga
Challenge, which will be held on May 11, 2013 at Central Park.
19. Janet Walton spoke about the National Day of Prayer and offered a prayer for the City
Council and the audience.
110. Teresa Akahoshi invited the City Council and the audience to the Outback Steakhouse
fundraiser on May 13, 2013, noting the proceeds will benefit the programs offered at the Animal
Care and Services Center. Also there is a free microchip day on May 18, 2013 from 10 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. at the Center. At that time, residents who have not yet licensed their dogs can do so
without penalty. Ms. Akahoshi announced that $4,795 was raised from the Furry Friends Flea
Market.
111. Matt Rogers noted that he is in the entertainment industry, indicated that his son has been
diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and spoke about an upcoming fundraiser at the Cucamonga
Brewing Company to benefit cystic fibrosis.
112. Ryan Orr spoke about Operation Community Cares, which provides deployed military with
tokens from home. He requested the audience's assistance in furnishing the names and
addresses of friends and family members in the armed forces. Mr. Orr noted that supplies will
be boxed up on June 15, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. He also noted that the L.A. County
Fair is seeking nominations for community heroes.
113. Jim Moffat indicated that people are speaking about the activity at the Animal Care and
Services Center at every meeting. He wondered why volunteers are being fired.
114. Victor Muniz displayed a newsletter announcing the upcoming vote in LMD #2 and noted a
Brown Act issue with this person knowing something the residents know nothing about. Mr.
Muniz indicated that the proposed ballot should be disclosed prior to taking action on this
matter.

Regular Meeting—April 17, 2013 - Page 3 of 10
115. Ondra Gilbertson spoke about a Great Dane that was put down for temperament issues.
She requested that a committee be formed for temperament testing. Ms. Gilbertson noted that
there are not a lot of animals at the Center and pointed out that it will take months for volunteers
to be utilized due to the new procedures. The four volunteers that were dismissed were
dedicated walkers for the large dogs and now many large dogs are not being walked. Mr.
Kreider is a very compassionate man. Ms. Gilbertson asked the City Council to uncover the
facts.
116. John Lyons attended the Furry Friends Flea Market and encouraged the residents to take
advantage of the Center's amnesty program. He indicated that his dog, Crunch, has benefitted
from the microchip program and Mr. Lyons has had a good relationship with the Animal Care
and Services Center. Regarding the assessment in Landscape Maintenance District No. 2, Mr.
Lyons noted that this is not a tax but rather a fee for service. An election is needed as the law
has changed.
117. Stacy Holmes reported that she visited the Animal Care and Services Center on Monday to
adopt a dog. She was surprised at the questions that were asked and the requirement to bring
in the family and other household pets. Ms. Holmes heard a staff member advise another family
against adopting a cat. She was disappointed and visited the Riverside animal center. Ms.
Holmes had a completely different experience and adopted a dog there.
118. Kelly Heilig urged the City Council to do something about the Center. She noted that the
employee who spoke up and the dismissed volunteers were very courageous. Many years ago,
the residents did a lot to ensure that the Center would be a no-kill facility. Ms. Keilig suggested
that an independent committee investigate the matter.
119. Nicole Myerchin noted that they had dealt with a similar situation when animal care was
under County control. She suggested that Nathan be approached again in order to adopt the
no-kill policy as the City standard.
