Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Malissa McKeith, 4993 Ginger Court, asked if they are voting tonight on this matter.
Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated this is approving the intention to apply for the
annexation of the property.
Ms. McKeith asked whether or not the City was going to wait for the San Bernardino County Floor
Control District to complete their flood inundation maps before they make a decision whether the
annexation will be safe to build on.
Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated this is in the Day Creek Drainage area, not the
Deer Creek.
Ms. McKeith stated she is not only talking about the Deer Creek but the Day Creek Drainage area
as well. She stated the Governor's Office of Emergency Services ha,s pointed out that the San
Bernardino County Flood Control District has not completed their flood inundation maps on Day
Creek. She stated she personally thinks Day Creek is as dangerous as Deer Creek. She stated
as a tax payer she did not want her City to be annexing property th:at may not be suitable for
building depending on the flood inundation maps that the County has yet to complete.
Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated there has been an EIR for this project.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated this was a project ready for construction when the City brought
suit, and essentially stopped the project and negotiated about six or seven months. He stated there is a
settlement agreement that depends on annexation and a development agreement which in turn depend
on the City processing EIR with any new information that can be added to what was already approved
by the Board of Supervisors, which the City still feels is inadequate. He stated any such information
would be welcome.
Ms. McKeith asked if the annexation goes through will the intended project come before the City
Council, or is it already approved so it will not be coming before the City Council.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated it is coming before the City Council now. He stated there is a
Development Agreement that is going through the Council processes now with environmental.
John Lyons, Etiwanda, stated he wanted to see this happen becaus~ of some of the people he
talked to while he was out talking to people about the Route 30 Freeway. He stated the
amenities that go along with this are very important. He added he wou~d also like to see this so
that Banyan will go through.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed.

Councilmember Biane stated he and Councilmember Dutton met with Sun Cal to settle any differences
pertaining to this project with regards to the lawsuit. He talked about the project and stated he would
support the intent to annex this property.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated we have a lawsuit that has been dismissed without prejudice, or
will be, if we meet these timelines. He added if this project goes down and is not approved by the City,
we are back in front of the Board of Supervisors with the original project without right to refile suit, and
start all of that again. He pointed out this is where we are with this project. He stated if anyone goes to
the Planning Commission hearings they can see the comparisons between projects. He added he feels
this project is better and concerns were addressed. He stated there is no other party that has an
opportunity to contest the County project besides the City of Rancho Cucamo~ga. He mentioned that
the Spirit of the Sage filed suit and settled indicating they are through.
Councilmember Williams commended the developer for all of their work they did on this project to make
it a much better project.

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
I1. REPORT ON CLOSURE OF ROCHESTER AVENUE DURING STADIUM EVENTS
Staff report presented by Rodney Hoops, Police Chief.
Councilmember Williams asked why this was done in the first place.
Captain Hoops stated it was determined that it would be safer for pedestrian traffic to keep it closed.
Councilmember Wilfiams stated the east parking lot is not hardly used at all and did not feel traffic
should be altered for those going into the east lot.
Captain Hoops stated they can look at this for a couple of weeks and then bring it back to the Council
with an update, and if it is working fine he would have no problem opening it up on the weekend.
Councilmember Williams suggested that possibly Citizens Patrol staff help with the crossing of
Rochester if there would be anyone that needed to cross, but didn't feel there should be that many
because of no one parking in the east lot. She felt there would be more people to benefit by having this
opened all the time than closed for the games.
Mayor Alexander felt the transition approach would be appropriate, but stated he knew Councilmember
Williams was out there most of the time and sees what is actually happening.
Councilmember Curatalo felt the trial period of two weeks was a good suggestion and then open it up
all the time if things go well.
Councilmember Biane stated he would go along with the expedited trial period. He thanked everyone
for working on this. He felt with the signal there everyone should be able to cross safety. He stated the
reason he brought this up was because of the day there was an event at the California Speedway and
the problem it caused by having Rochester closed because there was a game that day. He suggested
these types of situations should also be looked at when considering the overall plan.
Captain Hoops also mentioned the Police and Fire Games were also this weekend and told what a
great event it would be.
Jim Kronenfeld, Hessop Drive, thanked the Council and the Police Department for taking care of
his frustration by opening this street up.
John Bahnson stated he was glad this was going to be opened up. He stated no other big City
closes streets and was glad to see this would be opened up.
ACTION: Council concurred to try this for two weeks and then bring it back to Council with a report to
consider the possibility of opening it up full time.

K1. Bill Hawkins, 4987 Ginger Court, thanked the paramedics for assisting his daughter over Easter
holiday when she needed help. He mentioned an article in the newspaper that referred to Mayor
Alexander endangering the lives of children, and how the Mayor stated he disagreed with this. He
stated he has never seen anything from the Army Corps stating that the debris basin is safe. He
asked for the Council to do an independent study of this area.
Mayor Alexander asked him if he was stating that because of drainage, the funding for the high
school was removed.
Mr. Hawkins stated it was one of the factors because the inundation maps were not provided.
Mr. Alexander clarified it was the inundation maps not because of the safety factor.
Mr. Hawkins stated safety is an issue.
K2. Jeffrey Brown, 7212 Daybreak, presented a video for the Council to view (a copy was not left
with the City Clerk). He stated the Mayor promised a moratorium.
Mayor Alexander stated that was not correct.
James Markman, City Attorney, presented a chronology of events pertaining to the video comments.
K3. Xavier Leon, 9442 Kanopty Street, talked about kids getting stopped on their way to the park.
He stated the police talked to them asking them to empty their pockets. He asked if there is a City
policy so that kids are not stopped because of their ethnic background.
Mayor Alexander stated the City does not want this to occur and that this would be looked into.
K4. John Lyons stated he wanted to talk about flood control and how the City planned for this
assuming their would be complete failure. He felt Rancho Cucamonga was safe and people were
not going to flood out because of all of the planning that has taken place.
