Councilmember Buquet inquired if there would be anything legally wrong with him going and testifying at the hearing on June 10. James Markman, City Attorney, stated he did not see a problem with Councilmember Buquet attending, but did not think he would get the opportunity to speak unless the Attorney General Deputy makes him a witness. He added he would contact the Attorney General's office to make sure he got the original package his office had sent. He felt it would be a good idea for a letter to come from the Mayor's office to let the Attorney General know the seriousness of this matter and how the City feels about it. Councilmember Buquet suggested James Markman make contact with the Attorney General's office to get a feel for the situation, and if necessary, another copy of all documentation could be made. Mrs. Huggins state~ she did not feel Mr. Tagliano of the Attorney General's office was very familiar with the total issue and the problems involved.

STATUS REPORT ON SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY GANG AND DRUGS TASK FORCE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF ITS COMPUTER EQUIPMENT Staff report presented by Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager. (0606-01 EQUIP L/P) (0704-07 VANDALISM) Councilmember Willjams stated she would like Council consensus on how she and Councilmember Wright should vote on this matter for the next Gang and Drugs Task Force meeting as far as computer equipment, and also if the Council is still interested in participating in the program. Councilmember Wright stated the Task Force was not changing what was originally proposed, but now it was a question on how the City wants to implement this program in Rancho Cucamonga. (20) City Council Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 8 Captain Zeiner, Police Department, wanted to clarify that on page 132 there are thirteen agencies that have contributed $5.,000.00 or more. He stated there were two members from the Board of Supervisors who have also contributed $5,000.00 which were not listed along with the thirteen cities. He added one of the members wanted to be sure that someone in the County received the benefit of that hardware should the money be spent for that particular option. He stated when all the money was put in one pot, there was not enough money to fund fifteen computers, and now they are back to square one. He stated what it looks like is some promises were made that now cannot be kept. He felt this was a very worthwhile system, and felt it would greatly benefit the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the County of San Bernardino. He thought it would be an appropriate expenditure of asset seizure money. Councilmember Wright stated some time between 1989 when this concept was approved by the Council and the last Task Force meeting, things had changed whereby the computer system was not included in the $5,000.00 amount paid. She stated it was a false assumption on the City's part and felt other cities had this same false assumption. Councilmember Buquet suggested in-house city staff work on the purchasing of equipment in order to get a better deal because of their expertise. He stated he would like to see the Subcommittee working with the Task Force to see to it that this system would be available to personnel working in the field in order to obtain important information. Captain Zeiner, Police Department, stated that was discussed at the last meeting, and it was agreed that once the system was up and running they would explore the system being expanded to field personnel. Councilmember Williams stated what they needed to know was will the City of Rancho Cucamonga be providing in-house equipment. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council was: Phil Deatherage, 6564 Etiwanda Avenue, stated he did not think the correct information had been provided to the Council, and felt there were additional charges relating to this. He added he would like to see this matter delayed in order for him to obtain all the necessary figures and information for this project. Councilmember Wright suggested he needed to be talking to the Task Force Committee Executive Board, and/or Chuck Terrell. There being no further response, the public comment section was closed. Councilmember Williams reiterated they were not asking for more money for the program, but whether or not the City wanted to have its own in-house computer for the program. City Council Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 9 ACTION: The Council concurred to go forward with the program with the use of in- house computer equipment. , , , , , , H2.

Ray Stuehrman, 12440 Lily Court, stated that he had previously been assessed a $10.00 charge for landscape maintenance, and felt the work was not being done to maintain the landscape. He asked if something could be done to get better service for maintaining the landscaping. Councilmember Buquet stated he felt it should be identified to Mr. Stuehrman what the $10.00 assessment covers, and also felt it was unfortunate that Mr. Stuehrman had to call to get service. Jack Lam, City Manager, suggested that Mr. Stuehrman meet with him and Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, to discuss the entire landscaping maintenance issue. , , , ยท , City Council Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 10 L.
