Program which Chaffey College is in the process of establishing which they hope
to have in Rancho Cucamonga. He felt this would be a good opportunity for the
City and stated that Chaffey College is asking for $50,000.00, but that staff
is recommending $30,000.00 be given to them from the City. He stated the City
could also give them some of its surplus furniture to help them out which would
make up the difference of the $50,000.00. He added that Chaffey College also
has commitments from the cities of Ontario and Fontana.
He also commented that the CLOUT group has been talking about strengthening the
organization by hiring an Executive Director, and stated they would be

amount.

they would be getting more information about this.
