The "Year in Review" section on<this page details the various services provided to our residents from each City department during the last"" fiscal year. Rancho Cucamonga adopted a balanced General Fund budget that covered the costs incurred by the City to provide services to its estimated 170,479 citizens. Rancho Cucamonga made the top ten in the state for total population increase for the second year in a row for cities fewer than 300,000, adding 8,260 new residents. .- � �� r � FIRE P�,AN SETS SERVICE GOALS The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District adopted six service level goals as a part of the Fire District's new Strategic Plan last year. The goals include the establishment of a four minute travel time to 90 percent of emergencies within the communiry and the addirion of one new piece of •--�.��- - equipment including staff for each fire station that exceeds 2,500 responses 1 �� annually. Also included in the six goals were benchmarks for fire ? inspections, vehicle maintenance, and installation of fire sprinklers in new �construcrion. Meering the goals will require the planning, design and construction of `; Fire Station 177 and Fire Station 178, locating and acquiring property for ! the relocation of Fire Station 172, and the addition of a Medic Squad to Fire "' Station 171. , Since the plan was approved last August, the Fire Department has ' moved actively to implement the service goals and projects in order to � � ; meet the increased levels of service for the community. T�xES A HIT A special Retail Investigative Unit is �� '�� ' �� being formed to extend the successful �"� . Victoria Gardens retail crime model to the - "'� _�� rest of Rancho Cucamonga. A detective, three sheriff's �� deputies and a sheriff's services specialist will increase enforcement staff for retail crimes almost 50%. Based on the model established for the development of Victoria Gardens, the unit will worlc with businesses to train them and their staff about how to prevent retail crime. The initial two focus areas for program expansion will be the business corridors along Foothill Boulevard and Fourth Street. www.ci.rancho-cucamonga.ca.us 10500 Civic Center Drive • P.O.
