L4. Jim McQuire addressed the recent annual report by the Planning Department noting that a
thorough report with statistics is needed.
L5. Luana Hernandez invited the City Council and the audience to the Mother Load Poker Run, to
be held on. Saturday, October 19, 2013. Also, she expressed a concern with the proposed
placement of a bus stop in front of the gas station.
L6. Melissa Schweigert noted that she is finally a volunteer at the Animal Care and Services
Center. She noted that this process should not take five months and should not include a
background check and fingerprinting. Also, Ms. Schweigert indicated that she was asked about her
Face book activity and did not believe that following Face book activity was a productive use of
staff's time.
L7. Vicky Reust asked that the dog, Liza, be rescued from the Devore shelter. She had been told
that dogs initially housed at the Animal Care and Adoption Center would be returned to the Center
if they became unclaimed at another Shelter. Ms. Reust noted that the Center is responsible for
housing of these animals regardless of where they are found.
L8. Dana Keithly stressed that the truth finally comes out, regardless of how adamantly the City
denies it. Her group has proven time and time again that more animals died in 2012. Ms. Keithly
stressed the goals of the group, which are to have the dogs walked daily, more videos, more
offsite adoption events and more playgroups, noting that all of these activities previously were
done free of charge by the dismissed volunteers.
L9. Michael Sundquist addressed a recent event where his daughter's cat was lost. He noted that
the cat had a collar on and was micro chipped. However, when his daughter went to the Center,
she was not able to locate the animal. Mr. Sundquist stated that his daughter saw the cat listed
under a different name on August 25th and approached the Center again. At that time, the officer
indicated that the cat was trapped, noted that the animal was not scanned for a microchip and
apologized. He pointed out that the Hayden Law was not followed and that transparency and
accountability are lacking.
L10. Marla Tauscher distributed information to the City Council regarding Food and Agricultural
Code 31109 and 31754. She noted that the Haydon Law requires that dogs and cats be scanned
for a micro chip. Also, Ms. Tauscher indicated that it is illegal to euthanize animals relinquished by
their owners.
L11. Dorothy Burchfield, representing the Friends of the Foothills, thanked the City Council for
their efforts to close Cucamonga Canyon. She noted that this natural beauty needs to be shared
by all and hoped that some steps could be taken to protect the natural resource at the same time
keeping it open for public use.
L12. Jim Heitman, representing the Chamber of Commerce, announced upcoming events and
grand openings.
L13. John Lyons noted that Cucamonga Canyon needs to be protected but at the same time
should be open for public use. He indicated that he previous speakers have been conducting a
bullying campaign for the past year.

Regular Meeting —September 4, 2013 - Page 7 of 11
Speaker cards may be submitted for all those who wish to speak on the following topic(s). The
following items have no legal publication or posting requirements. Comments are to be limited
to five minutes per individual or less, as deemed necessary by the Mayor/President, depending
upon the number of individuals wishing to speak. All communications are to be addressed
directly to the Fire Board/City Council not to members of the audience.
Q1. Consideration of pursuing cost recovery for rescues in areas under closure orders due to
dangerous conditions. -Fire
Fire Chief Mike Bell presented the staff report.
In response to Vice President Spagnolo, Chief Bell addressed the cost recovery process when
another Department is also involved, noting that the Department would assist the other
Department in the invoicing process.
In response to Board Member Alexander, the Fire Chief confirmed that the Resolution is very
broad; however, he noted that the Department is proposing to only charge individuals who do not
obey instructions or posted signs.
Board Member Williams agreed with this approach, noting that people who disregard the law and
jeopardize the rights of others should reimburse the Fire District.
In response to Chairman Michael, the Fire Chief indicated that this action will hopefully serve to
deter people from willfully disregarding the law. Chairman Michael hoped that the Police and
Public Works Departments would charge for their costs as well.
Chairman Michael opened the administrative hearing.
John Lyons agreed with the cost recovery if there was criminal negligence; however, he expressed
a concern with the collection of these costs. He did not want treatment to be jeopardized. Mr.
Lyons inquired about how the public would be notified.
Dennis Cisneros supported the concept, noting that people who disregard the law are also putting
the lives of first responders at risk.
Chairman Michael closed the administrative hearing.
In response to Board Member Spagnolo, the Fire Chief indicated that signs are currently posted
indicating a penalty of $5,000. In response to Board Member Alexander, it was noted that these
signs were purchased by the City but were put up under the authority of the U.S. Forest Service.
MOTION: Moved by Spagnolo, seconded by Williams, to adopt the recommendation in the staff
report. Motion carried 5-0.
Q2. Approval for Mayor to sign letter advocating for the inclusion of Cucamonga Canyon into
the National Park Service's proposed National Recreation Area, San Gabriel Unit of the
Santa Monica Mountains as recommended in the San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains
Special Resource Study. - City
Fabian Villenas, Principal Management Analyst presented the staff report. He indicated that an e-
mail was received from Danae Delaney and read the e-mail, as follows:
"Please consider that the National Park Service has less funding than the U.S. Forest Service.
They may have funding to establish a new park system and long term funding is just as
important. I would like to see wording in your letter that states that our local City Council, Fire
District and Sheriff Department would be the decision-makers concerning parking, fire closures
and any other important decisions that will affect our community and it's residents. Please retain
that position because you all truly care, listen and live in our City. I would not want someone
from Santa Monica making important decisions for our area. Thank you". Mr. Villenas indicated
that this point would be included in the letter.
Fire Protection District, Financing Authority, City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting —September 4, 2013 - Page 8 of 11
In response to Council Member Steinorth, Mr. Villenas confirmed the reasons why inclusion in the
National Recreation Area was being proposed.
In response to Mayor Michael, Chief Bell indicated that the U.S. Forest Service was a good
partner; however, they are extremely limited in the amount of assistance that they can provide.
Mayor Michael opened the administrative hearing.
Jim McQuire noted that the damage to the canyon was sickening and indicated that the City was
responsible.
John Lyons indicated that Cucamonga Peak was a treasure and supported its inclusion in the
National Recreation Area.
Dorothy Burchfield supported the inclusion of Cucamonga Canyon in the National Recreation
Area.
Mahogany Allan indicated that she was a member of a club at Rancho Cucamonga High School
and inquired how they can help. In response, Mayor Michael indicated that the Fire Chief would
speak with her after the meeting.
Dennis Cisneros expressed a concern with the forfeiture of local control and the possible increase
of tourism if the canyon was included in the National Recreation Area. He stressed the need to
identify long term solutions to ensure public access while protecting the natural resources.
Mayor Michael closed the administrative hearing.
Council Member Steinorth noted that he agreed with Mr. Cisneros; however, he noted that
Cucamonga Canyon is on federally-owned land.
Mayor Pro Tern Spagnolo indicated that the amount of graffiti and trash in the canyon was
sickening. He hoped that inclusion of the area in the National Recreation Area would help.
Council Member Williams pointed out that sandblasting the graffiti off of the rocks was not an
option and wondered how the canyon could be restored. In response, the Fire Chief agreed that
this situation was way beyond the District's scope of responsibility.
In response to Mayor Michael, Mr. Villenas indicated that he would contact Ms. Delaney.
MOTION: Moved by Spagnolo, seconded by Williams, to authorize the Mayor to sign the letter.
Motion carried 5-0.
