July 2, 2014 I Closed Session, Fire Protection District, Public Financing Authority and City Council Regular Meetings Minutes I City of Rancho Cucamonga I Page 9 of 10 • Mayor Michael indicated that he recently attended a San Bernardino Associated Governments meeting during which the Board discussed a bridge proposed at Mt. Vernon and Washington on the 1-15 and the use of Express Lanes versus HOV lanes. N2. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per Council Member.) Mayor Pro Team Spagnolo indicated that he would like to address the statements made by a sitting Council member regarding the Animal Care and Adoption Center, the Director of the Center and this year's annual report. He believed that it was his duty and responsibility to set straight inaccurate statements and did not wish to debate or further inflame passions. He solely wished to exercise his right to read into the record important facts about this matter and made the following statement, "First, the employees who work for our City are dedicated professionals. They are committed to serve our community according to high standards and core values that we all share. Honesty, integrity and professionalism are among those values. I have read and re-read the annual report that was presented last meeting. I have re-watched the video presentations and I have asked staff a number of follow up questions. I find no material inaccuracies and I personally stand behind the full report as accurate and professional. Dissenting opinions and votes are not concerning to me. In fact when we have spirited discussions, they are constructive and cause us to consider diverse opinions and I think we come away with a better Council decision. But there are proper ways to express our opinions and concerns and there are also improper ways that serve no useful purpose. A belligerent response to a staff report during a Council meeting serves no useful purpose and it creates an unhealthy working environment. Any concerns we have had can and should be addressed in a civil, professional manner and I believe that this will produce far better results." Council Member Alexander noted that he was going to address the same matter. He noted that he would require more time to work on the response to the annual report. Also, Council Member Alexander was amazed that the annual report would be considered to be a thorough report. He was sorry that his statements were taken personally. He requested time to present further information and hoped that this information would be heard by the Council once it was developed. Mayor Michael noted that one of the Council norms was to be cautions on being over-critical of an individual, regardless of the individual or the report. The Council has seen other annual reports similar to the one for the Animal Care and Adoption Center. He was concerned with asking our personnel to be over-achievers and risk takers. Mayor Michael noted that our stated goals could not be achieved if staff becomes concerned with taking too much risk. He asked that the Council focus on the numbers, not the personnel involved. 0.
