RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING TO EMERGENCY "CODE 3" RESPONSE POLICY(S). (Item
previously referred to the Commission by the Board of Directors.) Staff report
presented by Chief Dennis Michael, Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.
Boardmember Buquet stated that when he had raised the concern regarding this
matter, it was only because of the possibility of risk associated with someone

process should continue.
Boardmember Wright felt this should also be approved by the Sheriff's Department
and that all agencies should follow these same guidelines.
President Stout asked Jack Lam, City Manager, if it would be appropriate for
the Sheriff's Department to follow these guidelines.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated yes.
