tips for the upcoming 4th of July festivities.
I. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
11. Dennis Cisneros spoke about the people visiting Cucamonga Canyon, which creates an
unnecessary increased risk of violent crime and wildfire in the area. He noted that residential
parking permits are a step in the right direction but won't solve the problem. Mr. Cisneros
recommended that Cucamonga Canyon be closed until the proper access and safety
improvements are in place.
12. Dana Keithly addressed discrepancies in the report recently released by the Grand Jury. She
noted that no statements were included on the methodology that was used and wondered if
multiple individuals had been interviewed. She did not believe that this was a fair assessment of
the operations at the Animal Care and Services Center.
13. Susan Keithly indicated that this was a one-sided investigation as dogs were confined to crates
at one time. She wondered if an audit was done by the Grand Jury and if they reviewed the
background records of the animals. Ms. Keithly noted that there has not been any promotion of
animals since the new Director has been there.
14. Jesse Kreider noted that he had been told to euthanize animals but indicated that he was not
certified or trained to do so. Mr. Kreider indicated that when he received a death threat he was told
to watch his back yet when the Director received one she was given a police escort.

Regular Meeting —July 3, 2013 - Page 2 of 10
15. Allison Kreider read various e-mails from other volunteers who expressed concerns with the
operation at the Center. She stressed that the Center needs to work with volunteers to help the
animals, noting that there is not one video on the Internet site.
16. Ondra Gilbertson noted that no marketing or videos of the animals are being done. She
displayed photographs of various dogs that are available for adoption as well as dogs that had
been euthanized. Ms. Gilbertson noted that we need an adoption and rescue person at the facility.
17. Vicky Reust indicated that no one is criticizing the foster program. She wondered why no one
was able to save King and why the Grand Jury did not investigate why adoptions are down and
deaths are up.
18. Dorothy Burchfield thanked the City Council for their efforts in addressing Sapphire Falls. She
noted that a committee of neighbors has been formed to discuss the various issues surrounding
the use of the canyon, noting that the next meeting will be on July 31, 2013.
19. Kevin King noted that the Pit Bull promotions have almost stopped and the caretakers do not
have behavioral rehabilitation plans. The animals are classified as unadoptable and then put
down. Mr. King noted that there is only one dog in a kennel, the dogs do not get out daily,
volunteers can not volunteer on holidays and the number of volunteers have dwindled.
110. John Lyons offered his condolences to the families of the 19 firefighters who lost their lives in
Arizona. He noted that he has experienced several Grand Jury investigations, which are always
very thorough. Mr. Lyons spoke about his experiences with the Animal Care and Services Center
and attendance at the Chamber of Commerce installation dinner. He indicated that Costco needs
to change their beverages back to Coke and urged everyone to be safe over the 4th of July
weekend.
111. Nicole Myerchin noted that the Grand Jury is not qualified to evaluate the Animal Care and
Services Center and suggested that an independent third party be used.
112. Dave Dykstra admired the group of people who are speaking up for the animals. He urged the
City Council to do the right thing for the animals.

Fire Protection District, Financing Authority, City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting —July 3, 2013 - Page 8 of 10
In response to Council Member Steinorth, it was noted that the majority of residents on Via Serena
on Almond Street are in support of the proposed District.
Council Member Alexander indicated that this matter is still fluid and wondered if there was still an
opportunity to refine the plan further. In response, the Fire Chief confirmed that adjustments may
need to be made and expressed a commitment to report back to the City Council periodically.
In response to Mayor Michael, Chief Bell noted that the Forest Service does not intend on closing
Cucamonga Canyon. He noted that the amount of trash and graffiti is a concern and hoped to
clean up the trash and fire rings.
In response to Council Member Spagnolo, the Traffic Engineer addressed how the 25 parking
spots was determined. He noted that the residents do not support all the recommendations. Since
the residents did support a Permit Parking District, this is being recommended.
In response to Mayor Michael, discussion was held regarding where the visitors would park once
the new permit parking district was in place. Also discussed was how other permit parking districts
were doing. Mayor Michael noted that another meeting with the neighborhood should be held to
see how this affects their concerns.
MOTION: Moved by Spagnolo, seconded by Williams, to adopt Resolution No. 13-112 and the
amended permit parking plan. Motion carried 5-0.

The following items have been requested by the City Council for discussion.
01. INTER-AGENCY UPDATES (Update by the City Council to the community on the
meetings that were attended.)
No updates were presented.
02. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per Council
Member.)
Council Member Alexander noted that the Animal Care and Services Center is broken and did not
believe that the Grand Jury report adequately addressed the matter.
Council Member Steinorth pointed out the unhealthy debates that have been taking place at the
City Council meetings. Comments to improve the Center are helpful but attacks are unwelcome.
He respects the need for an independent voice.
Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo indicated that complaints on the structure of the Grand Jury should be
taken up with the County. He objected to the inappropriate comments regarding how the animals
are killed.
Mayor Michael stressed that the Animal Care and Adoption Center has very high standards. If the
desire was to adopt animals, he would champion this cause. He hoped that there would be a way
for everyone to work together in a more positive manner.
