The 'Corporation Yard' is located at 9153 9th Street on 6.4 acres of land with a 13,300 square foot building. The yard is the hub of the City Engineering Division's Maintenance Section. From the Yard are dispatched the activities of the landscaping, parks, streets, storm drains, and fleet maintenance groups. Twelve years ago the Maintenance Section started out at the County's former one acre facility located at 111 North Grove Avenue in Upland (yes, in Upland). With the rapid growth of the City and its increasing needs, the Maintenance Section needed to expand. In 1986, the City began an extensive program to provide a new location for the 'Corporation Yard'. At the time the new yard was purchased in 1987 some remodeling and expansion was performed to this site to provide office and crew space to keep the maintenance program on line. The building then consisted of office space for the superintendent, supervisors and administrative staff, a conference room, a combined training/crew room and an open office area for field supervisors to handle day-to-day tasks of the Maintenance Section. This building also housed the City's fleet maintenance faciliry. In September, 1988, the first phase of a three phase yard expansion program was begun. The first phase of the yard expansion consisted of a complete 'facelift' of the existing building. This included upgrading the existing building to meet current earthquake . . .n _ � ,- , , f i � � �r�• I � �. r�'�%'Ol%(%���� � standards, as well as the addition of a fleet maintenance shop, fuel islands, covered vehicle parking and employee parking. Among the many new items provided with the construction of the yard is four 10,000 gallon fuel tanks and a state-of-the-art computerized monitoring system, that provides complete control and oversite of fuel usage. This fuel system ties into the vehicle maintenance system and will let each driver know when a vehicle is due for service. The second and third phases of the yard expansion will consist of a wash rack, sign, carpenter, and small equip- ment maintenance shops, a training room, and a larger fleet maintenance building.

For children it is a time of mystery and festivity. To parents it may be a time of anxiety. There are many helpful reminders to make your Halloween season more enjoyable. Discuss with your children a pre- planned, well-lighted route to follow when they go on their Halloween Trick- or-Treating, and make sure you know the area. It is best for parents to accompany their children; however, this is not always possible. Because of the rash of Halloween poisonings and assaults, it is important that you designate an older child or adult to accompany a group of children. If your youngster is in a mask make sure he or she has a clear field of vision to see at night. Always check your children's bags of candy for pills, fruit that appears to be damaged, and suspicious or unwrapped candy. ■ � City owned vehicles and equipment. When citizens call for maintenance needs they interact with one of our administrative staff who will route their calls for service to the proper person via a phone message or through radio communication to a field unit. During disaster situations, e.g., flood, fire, earthquake, the 'Corporation Yard' works as a mini emergency operation center to coordinate the operation of the Maintenance Section. The 'Corporation Yard' is open from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The telephone number of the yard is 989-2813. Rancho Cucamonga can be proud to have one of the premiere corporation yards in the Inland Empire. If you have not had the opportunity to view the yard you may wish to take a drive down to the City's 'Corporation Yard'. .

The Com- mission began formally meeting in January,1990. The role of the Commission is to act in an advisory capacity to the City Council and the Planning Commission on environmental issues. The Environmental Management Commissiori s initial work program is the coordination of recent recycling legislation — Assembly Bill (AB) 939. AB 939's purpose is to reduce, recycle, and reuse solid waste generated in the State to the maximum extent feasible. In addition, the legislative intent of the bill is to improve regulation of existing solid waste landfills; to ensure that new landfills are environmentally sound; to streamline permitting procedures for solid waste management facilities; and to specify the responsibilities of local governments to develop and implement integrated waste management programs. Membership of the Commission currently consists of eleven members. Like other Commissions established by City Council, all members of the Environmental Commission are residents of Rancho Cucamonga who are over the age of 18 and serve voluntarily. The Citizens Environmental Manage- ment Commission uses the public hearing process to arrive at its decisions. This process gives an opportunity for members of the public to express their views on issues that are being considered by the Commission. It is through this process that the Commission can ensure that the needs of the whole community are being met. Residents are encouraged to share their environmental concerns and/or suggestions with the Commissioners by participating in their monthly meetings. There is a wide variety of important environmental concerns (water, solid waste, recycling air, etc.) to be explored, and everyone's participation is encouraged. In addition to coordinating the City's response to AB 939 legislation, the Commission also oversees the voluntary residential recycling program. This program entails the collection of glass, aluminum and newspapers each Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at one of three designated locations. Recycling locations located throughout the City include: • Windrows Park (6848 Victoria Park Lane) � • Lions Park (9161 Base Line Road) • Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center (9791 Arrow Route). Each month selected service clubs/ organizations coordinate the activities at the designated locations throughout the City where residents can voluntarily drop off their aluminum cans, glass bottles and newspapers for recycling. The City's franchised haulers, Rancho Disposal, Yukon Disposal and Western Waste Industries, provide dumpsters for the commodities and transport the commodities to certified recyclers on behalf of the service organization coordinating that particular month. BICENTENNIAL OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION The Celebration Continues The celebration for the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution began in 1987 when our nation and city commemorated the signing of this document which has come to symbolize our national ideals of freedom, justice, equal opportunity and hope. The years 1987 through 1991 have been designated by the United States Congress for remembering and celebrating the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. This five-year period allows us to recognize the 200th anniversaries of the signing of the Constitution, the ratification process, the formation of the federal government, and ������� � •'��*. �� � CELEBRATE CITIZENSffiP IN SEPTEMBER CONSTITUTION �p� September �f ��Fl 17-�3 �� Revenue generated from these materials is turned in to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, who in turn allocates 75% of the funds to the service club/organization who coordinated that month's activities. The remaining 25% of the funds are earmarked for an educational project to determined by the residents of Rancho Cucamonga. As an incentive for residents voluntary donation of aluminum cans, glass bottles and newspapers residents receive tickets for monthly prize drawings. First prize is a$200 gift certificate and second prize is a $50 gift certificate. Environmental issues, including recycling, are everyone's concern. To learn more about the Citizens Environ- mental Management Commission, residents are encouraged to attend regularly scheduled meetings of the Commission on the fourth Thursday of each month in the City Council Chambers of the Civic Center, 10500 Civic Center Drive, at 7:00 p.m. Please attend and take an active part in saving our environment. ■ the adoption of the first ten amendments, now known as the Sill of Rights. On Sunday, September 16, 1990, at 2:00 p.m. at the Red Hill Community Park Amphitheater (7484 Vineyard Avenue), Rancho Cucamonga residents will mark this celebration of the commemoration of the signing of our nation's constitution. This year's celebration will include a concert in the park and many activities commemorating the Constitution. So, mark your calendars now — plan an afternoon in the park and help celebrate the many freedoms our Constitution provides us! ■ °' ` EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS City and Local Agencies 'Test Emergency Plan Working together to protect our community In June of this year, the City of Rancho Cucamonga passed two important milestones in the area of emergency management. First, the second part of the City's Emergency Plan was submitted to the State for final approval. Approval of this section of the plan is anticipated by October, 1990. The second milestone was a three day seminar and exercise held in the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in the new Public Safety Facility. California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) from San Luis Obispo conducted the training using the City of Rancho Cucamonga for the scenario of the earthquake portion of our emergency plan. A 7.3 earthquake on the Red Hill fault was simulated and the EOC Management Teams from City depart-ments and outside agencies spent approximately three hours coordinating their responses to mitigate a multitude of problems delivered to them by simulators. This exercise gave all groups a chance to test their departmental/ agency plans and to use the new EOC equipment. Participants in the seminar and exercise included all City departments, the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, Cucamonga County Water District, the five local school districts, medical facilities, private industry, the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, the American Red Cross, RACES, a radio amateur civil emergency service, KNTF-93.5 FM, a local radio station, and County and State officials. Everyone seemed to agree that much was learned from the seminar and exercise, but that additional training together is needed. Suggestions for improvement of the EOC were received as a result of the exercise. Thanks to the high priority that the City Council places on public safety, programs such as this are encouraged and will help agencies protect residents more effectively. Lastly, summer is nearly over and fall is fast approaching. The fire threat this year is tremendous! Please heed the Fire District's warning and be extremely careful, especially during windy weather. Should Rancho Cucamonga experience a fire in our foothills, be sure to tune to KNTF- 93.5 FM for emergency information. ■ CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Thirteenth Annual Founders Day Parade Saturday, November 10th, Starting at 10:00 a.m. • Marching Sands • Floats • Championship Equestrian Section Theme: Salute to the Past . . .

PROGRAM OF SERVICE City Council Adopts 1990-91 and 1991-92 Balanced Budgets Two-year budget totals $116.7 million At a public hearing on June 14, the City Council adopted Rancho Cucamonga's fiscal 1990-91 and fiscal 1991-92 budgets. This two-year budget allows for expen- ditures and reserve commitments totalling $116,746,000. The first year's budget is $64,020,000 and the 1991-92 budget is $52,726,000. The City's Program of Service strives to provide the coinmunity with the highest, most cost- effective and efficient level of public service given the available resources. In fiscal year 1990-91 a cooperative effort of the City and certain school districts will fund a D.A.R.E. officer for drug prevention training in the schools. Law enforcement services are proposed to be enhanced even further by the addition of a new patrol unit in 1991-92. Assisting the work of the police in fighting gangs and vandals, the City will be enhancing its graffiti removal program to include railroad rights-of-way in our graffiti removal efforts. While the City's budgets may seem large, they actually are a reduction from expected revenues and provide an opportunity for the City to be creative in stretching the available dollars. Initiation of an organized volunteer program will be one way to help stretch dollars. There are many people who would like to volunteer some of their time in helping their city serve the public and improve the community, and a volunteer program will make the most of this valuable resource. Another method the City is using to stretch dollars is to self-insure for auto insurance. Finally, the City will enhance its ability to maintain its own vehicles to help reduce costs associated with "marked-up" parts and labor paid to private vendors. Animal control services, currently provided through a contract with the county, will be provided by the City beginning in fiscal year 1991-92. The current budget includes funds to construct a City animal care facility that will house the City's own animal control program. The City's new budget also includes funds for a continued emphasis on park development, street maintenance and construction, new traffic signals, flood control, and community beautification. Included as part of the many community improvement projects during the next two years are the construction of storm drains in Haven and Church streets, construction of a grade separation at Milliken and the AT & SF Railroad, widening of Foothill at the SP Railroad underpass, rehabilitation and widening of Haven from 4th to Foothill, reconstruction of Church St. from Archibald to Haven, 18 new traffic signals throughout the City, and improvements to the Foothill/I-15 interchange. As always, the City Council welcomes your input on the current Program of Service, as well as suggestions for future Programs. ■ MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATE False Alarm Ordinance Preventing false alarms During a recent month in Rancho Cucamonga, the Police Department responded to 409 burglar alarms. Of these 409 alarms, 406 were false alarms. To help alleviate this problem the City of Rancho Cucamonga has implemented a False Alarm Ordinance. What this means to businesses and residents of the community is that service charges will be billed to those residents/businesses having three or more false alarm responses during a year. When presented with this staggering statistic, the Public Safety Commission. requested that a False Alarm Ordinance be drafted. The purpose of the ordinance is to reduce the number of false alarms experienced in the City by having people with chronic false alarm problems defray the cost of responding to those calls. The ordinance, as it was later adopted in its final form by the City Council, defines what a false alarm is and establishes that after two false alarms in a given year, service charges will begin to be levied. As defined in the ordinance, a false alarm is considered to be an activated alarm or alarm signal which is responded to within the City of Rancho Cucamonga by the Police Department, but for which no emergency situation exists as determined by the responding officer. A false alarm shall not include those alarms activated by extraordinary meteoro- logical, atmospheric, or other conditions or means as determined by the Police Department. On the third false alarm response to a particular location during a fiscal year, a service charge shall be paid to the City to defray the costs of responding to the false alarm. The service charge is based on the following schedule: Third False Alarm $ 25.00 Fourth False Alarm $ 50.00 Fifth False Alarm $ 75.00 Sixth and Subsequent False Alarms $100.00 Individuals/businesses who have alarm systems should keep in mind that approximately 65% of all false alarms are caused by human error (forgetting to shut off the system; entering through the wrong door, accidentally pushing the panic button, etc.) and that false alarms increase unnecessary safety risks to police officers, motorists and other citizens as officers try to respond to catch burglaries in progress. And, finally, false alarms can tie up valuable police resources and could jeopardize the safety of other citizens who need a police response when units are unavailable because of false alarms. False alarms can be prevented, and the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department need your help. Review your alarm activation and deactivation procedures with your families or employees. Remember that most false alarins are caused by human error, and diligence and training will eliminate these problems. Install reliable alarm equipment and .make sure that it is properly serviced and maintained. Finally, if a false alarm does occur, identify and correct the cause immediately. Working together, we can solve the necessary drain on resources caused by false alarms and improve the overall quality of public safety in our community. Questions regarding the new False Alarm Ordinance can be directed to the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department at 989-6611 or the City of Rancho Cucamonga, City Manager's Office at 989-1851. ■ In order to provide residents of Rancho Cucamonga zoith information on new ordinances and resoultions, subsequent issues of Tlie Grapevine zvill contain annotations similar to tllis one on the new False Alartn Ordinance.

Thursday: All tickets $3.00 SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND GANG PREVENTION DARE and CHOICES An investment in our youngsters and our community Believing that the youngsters of our community are our most precious resource and that substance abuse/ gang involvement of these children is a cominunity concern, the City, school districts, and law enforcement have joined together to provide substance abuse and gang prevention programs to targeted elementary classrooms through- out Rancho Cucamonga. To meet this goal two special programs will be taught to selected classrooms this fall. The first prograin, DARE, (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), is a substance abuse education program designed to equip children with skills to resist peer pressure to experiment with alcohol and drugs. This program was developed in 1983 in a cooperative effort by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District. DARE uses trained uniformed officers to teach a 17-week formal curriculum to students in the classroom. DAIZE program lessons include: personal safety practices; drug use and misuse; consequences of using and not using drugs; resisting pressure to use drugs, resistance tecllniques; building self- esteem, assertiveness; managing stress without taking drugs; media influences on drug use; decision making and risk taking; alternatives to drug use; role modeling; forming a support system; resisting gang pressure; and taking a stand. CHOICES, a youth intervention program which focuses on youngsters developing the right choices, was developed by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in 1988 as a pilot youth gang diversion program. CHOICES was developed to address the growing public awareness of increasing gang violence and substance abuse in Southern California area and throughout the nation. It also addresses the growing alarm of school personnel concerning gang violence and substance abuse on school campuses (as substantiated by incidents throughout San Bernardino County) which directly interferes with the educational process. The program is taught by a uniformed officer in the classroom and is 13 weeks in duration. It is aimed at preventing experimentation with gang involvement. CHOICES curriculum includes: an introduction to law enforcement; role of jails in law enforcement; discussion on ex-gang membership; realities of gang meinbership; gang violence; gang violence effects on family and society; substance abuse; alternatives to substance abuse; victim awareness; self- awareness and self-esteem; and positive alternatives. Using the DARE and CHOICES programs, Rancho Cucamonga will go far beyond traditional drug abuse/gang involvement prevention programs. These programs will give our children the skills to recognize and resist the pressure that may cause them to experiment with drugs, alcohol and gangs. The lessons our children will learn through the DARE and CHOICES programs will enhance their self-esteem, help them to manage stress, alert them to the behavioral consequences of experiinentation with drugs, alcohol and gangs, provide them with tlle skills to resist pro-drug media and gang member messages, and will help them to identify alternatives to drug use and gang involvement. Through a combined effort of the DAIZE program and the CHOICES program, a City-wide approach to dealing with gang and drug abuse prevention, education and intervention will be achieved. DARE and CHOICES are an investment in the future of our young-sters and our community. � Choice for me... Drug Free RED RIBBON WEEK — October 21- 27,1990 � Show your support for a drug free community — wear a red ribbon during this week! RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Make Your Place Fire Safe Hunt for home hazards Over 5,000 people in the United States died in fires in their homes last year. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), most of those fires could have been prevented. According to the NFPA ,"we know that the vast majority of fire deaths in this country are occurring in the places we feel safest, primarily our homes". With this fact in mind, this year's Fire Prevention Week (October 7-13th) will focus on what we can do in our homes to make them fire safe. This year's theme is "Make Your Place Fire Safe: Hunt for Hoine Hazards." Looking for hoine fire hazards is a preventative measure everyone can do... from young children to senior citizens. What can be done to protect your home from fire? According to the NFPA, you can do plenty. Here's a sample checklist for you for follow. If you have smokers in your household: • Purchase plenty of large, deep ashtrays which will securely hold a cigarette and locate them on sturdy, flat surfaces. • Empty ashtrays frequently, and only into metal containers, such as old coffee cans. • Don't let cigarettes smolder, and never leave them unattended. • Never, ever smoke in bed or when sleepy. Matches, lighters or other fire tools: • Keep all fire tools up high, out of reach of children, and be sure your guests do the same. • Have a family meeting to discuss the rules about fire: matches and lighters are tools, not toys, and are for grown- ups only! Fireplaces and Woodstoves: • Keep at least three feet between anything combustible and heating equipment. Electrical Outlets and Cords: • Take time to see if electrical cords are used properly, and replace any that are worn. • Never run cords under rugs or furnishings. Use electricity wisely and safely. In the Kitchen: • Keep stovetops clear of everything but cookware, and clean up spills promptly. Make your �la�e FireSa Don't store items behind or over a stove, leaning over the stove can be dangerous. When cooking, wear only tight fitting clothing and be cautious when reaching for a pan. Keep all pan and pot handles turned inward. Flammable Liquids: • Store flammable liquids in the garage, and only in proper containers. • Never store flammable liquids near sparks or heat sources. • Do not store flammable liquids in the basement where vapors could be ignited. Blocked Exits: • Make sure all exits are kept clear at all times. • Check the windows in your house to be sure they open easily. Yr��zn�ion Week �ire er �_13, �gg0 Octob Never block doors or windows, they are your escape routes in case of fire. Have a family meeting and draw a home escape plan. Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways out of each room and practice home fire drills regularly. Smoke Detectors: • Be sure at least one smoke detector is installed on each level of your home and outside of each sleeping area. • Check the batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions or at least once a week. • Make sure everyone in the family knows what to do when they hear the smoke alarm, and practice home fire drills regularly. For additional information on fire safety call the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District at, 987-6405. ■ __ _� T — � _ . . __ � i � l Meeting Dates ' City Business is Your Business '' ,-.1 Residents of the City of Rancho Gucamonga are encouraged to attend ; `City meetings.

The greatest threat: The first and greatest threat to any heater is improper installation. Not only can improper installation shorten the life of a heater, but also shorten the lives of those who live around it. Under certain improper conditions, a heater can generate 65,000 pounds of energy, or the equivalent of one pound of nitroglycerin. All manufacturers warranties stipulate that "installation be made by a qualified person, under permit, as required by local plumbing and building codes." Certification by a qualified County inspector will relieve you of possible liability in years to come. (Ask your insurance agent who is liable if a heater is not properly and legally installed.) The second threat: Hard water deposits. Most water contains dissolved solids (minerals and salts) picked up as water contacts earth and rocks both above and below the ground surface. We in greater Los Angeles receive a large share of Colorado River water, which is heavily laden with minerals. When heated, these solids are precipitated and deposited as lime and silt in the bottom of the tank. The "fall out" builds up fast, increasing as you use more water at higher temperatures. These deposits completely insulate the bottom of the tank so that the burners direct heat which no longer transfers directly to the water. Eventually, the rising temperatures on the steel tank reduce its strength to the point of failure and burnout. (Three quarters of an inch increases temperatures from 325 degrees to 700 degrees. Two inches of lime increases the temperature to over 850 degrees. This type of failure is not covered by warranty. All manufacturers inspect tanks now and will void a warranty if the tank is not cleaned within six months of purchase and as often as necessary thereafter to insure less than two inches of lime build-up. (Water treatment for lime inhibition is recommended.) The third threat: Contaminants in the air. The greatest single cause of burner problems in a water heater is lint and dust. Collection of lint or dust on a burner will cause improper mixture of air and gas, causing the heater to soot. If a heater is installed in an enclosed area, sufficient ventilation must be provided through two permanent openings. One should be near the top of the enclosure of room, and one at the bottom. Do not install water heaters in a corrosive atmosphere, such as where degreasing agents or other chlorinated solvents are used, or where cleaning solvents, gasoline or paint thinners are stored. Fumes from these materials are heavier than air, and the pilot alone can ignite them, causing explosion and fire. Heaters need to be raised a least 20 inches off the garage floor to insure that the pilot will not ignite gasoline fumes from nearby parked cars. Four po's and Four pori ts: • Do insist on legally permitted and inspected installation by your local departxnent of building and safety. • Do clean out your heaters at regular intervals or install properly sized water treatment for prevention of lime build- up. • Do make certain the system is protected by an adequate listed temperature and pressure relief valve. • Do provide sufficient fresh air. • Don't operate heater in contaminated air. • Don't let lime build up, expecting to remove it later. Fuel and heaters are both explosive. • Don't permit heater to operate without further attention if relief valve operates frequently; find out why. • Don't use your heater room as a store room. Someone is just likely to leave combustible materials nearby. ■ This article has been reprinted with permission of Bill R.

The goal of Park Watch is to create an environment where people care about each other, their parks and their community. As a participant in the Park Watch program, residents can improve the quality of life in their community and around their parks. Rancho Cucamonga residents can and will reduce oppor- tunities for crime by looking out for their neighbors and their parks by acting as extra "eyes" and "ears" for law enforcement. Why a Park Watch program? • Over 40 million crimes are committed every year and this number is still growing. � A law enforcement officer cannot be on every corner, so citizen involvement is essential to combat this social crisis. • By cooperating with each other and the Police Department, people can help fight crime in their community in the most effective way — before it happens. Who can participate? • Homeowners • Apartment dwellers • Mobile home residents • Young people • Senior citizens • Men • Women • Families • Singles • In summary ... YOU! Tt�esday, I�TOven�lber f YOUIZ Vote CotintS! • Someone running from a car. • Someone screaming. If you cannot determine what the screams are, call the police and report it. • Someone asking about past residents. • A person who seems to have no purpose wandering in the park. • Any unusual or suspicious noise that you cannot explain, such as breaking glass or pounding. • Vehicles moving slowly, without lights, or with no apparent destination. s Business transactions conducted from a vehicle or within the park. • A stranger in a car stopping to beckon to a child. • A child resisting the advances of an adult. • A stranger loitering in the park. • An abandoned vehicle, possible a stolen car. • Juveniles congregating in dark or hidden areas of the park. • Someone painting graffiti on park features. • Groups of juveniles congregating during normal school hours. How to Report: If it is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 otherwise call the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department at, 988-6571. If the problem is a maintenance problem (lights that do not work, broken playground equipment or sprinkler heads, graffiti), call the City's Maintenance Department at, 989-2813. Remember: Park Watch groups are not vigilantes and do not assume the role of the Police. They only ask citizens to be alert, observant, and care. They serve as extra eyes and ears for law enforcement agencies and for their neighbors. Never jeopardize your safety!!!
