heard last to accommodate Judge Slough)
Steven Nash, Executive Officer for the San Bernardino County Court system, presented an update on
the court's pending reorganization. Presiding Judge Marsha Slough noted that this decision was not
made lightly and outlined the extreme financial condition currently in the court system. For instance,
San Bernardino County should have 1,500 employees and 157 judges to operate the courthouses
(there are 862 and 86 respectfully). She reported that employees were laid off, courthouses in outlying
areas were shut down and case loads are building up.
November 20, 2013 I Regular Fire Protection District, Public Financing Authority, City Council Meetings
City of Rancho Cucamonga I City Council Minutes I Page 9 of 11
In response to Council Member Steinorth, Judge Slough noted her priorities if funding were restored
would be to keep courtrooms and courthouses open and to restore the service level. In response to
Council Member Steinorth, Mr. Nash expected that the realignment would have a positive impact on
court cases.
Mayor Pro Tern Spagnolo indicated that the State of California has imposed many terrible things on
this community.
In response to Council Member Alexander, Mr. Nash confirmed that all of the processes are being
evaluated in order to increase efficiency.
In response to Council Member Williams, Judge Slough indicated that she had no control over how
the new Justice Center was built. It was noted that this large building does not have adequate parking.
Judge Slough indicated to the Council Member that the only thing to do was to advocate for appropriate
and proper funding.
Mayor Michael concurred with the comments made. He requested that the City Manager prepare a
Resolution and review opportunities to advocate for funding for the San Bernardino County Court
system.
02. Update on Senior Nutrition Services provided by Family Services Association.
Nettie Neilson, Community Services Director and Dave Moore, Community Services Superintendent
presented an update on the senior nutrition services provided by Family Services Association and
supplemented by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. She reported on FSA's proposed reductions in
service and indicated that they have been directed not to make any service reductions as the City
would make additional contributions to the programs.
In response to Council Member Alexander, Mrs. Neilson confirmed that hot meals would be delivered
five days a week. Discussion was held about the criteria for this program, as three persons are
proposed to be removed from the program due to the eligibility requirements. Mrs. Neilson confirmed
that discussions are being held with FSA about these two programs and indicated that any proposed
reduction in service would be eliminated with additional City funding.
Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo indicated that the City might see an increase in non-residents if we were the
only City offering hot meals. In response, Mrs. Neilson indicated that the proposed frozen meals were
only for the Meals on Wheels program. Hot meals will continue to be provided.
Council Member Steinorth noted that since the City is supplementing the costs for these programs,
the City should have a stake in setting the criteria. Mrs. Neilson concurred, noting that it is staffs
intention that the supplemental funding can be used to ensure that people are not removed from the
program.
In response to Council Member Alexander, Mrs. Neilson indicated that she would furnish the criteria
to the City Council members for their information.
MOTION: Moved by Michael, seconded by Steinorth to approve the proposed supplemental funding
to the senior nutrition services provided by Family Services Association. Motion carried 5-0. .
