II c. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS I
C1. Earl Anderson, 8552 Bells Vista, representing many of the property owners on Bells Vista, thanked
the City of their assistance during the recent rainstorm. He stated since the Grand Prix Fire, it has been

flooded. He thanked Engineering for designing the permanent resolution to this problem. He also hoped
the City Council would approve the Consent Calendar which included an item for funding for the building
of the channel.
C2. Mark Davidson - see remarks under item L1. The minutes will remain in agenda order.

he would like to protest that Mayor Alexander is no longer on the Metrolink Board and did not feel
Councilmember Williams should have appointed herself to SANBAG. He commented on response times
for the Fire Department being eight minutes and did not feel that was acceptable. He stated years ago
the response time was five minutes and felt something should be done. He commented that
Councilmembers Gutierrez and Williams voted in 1995 against fire sprinklers being a requirement for

Shelter and that the animals are not getting veterinary care. She asked the City Council to think about

asking the subcommittee to consider a way to make things better through a special service that would not
cost the City any money.

our community. She stated the airport is expanding within the next several years, which will create a
huge transportation problem for the region. She stated at the SANBAG meeting they heard a

these types of projects. She stated she attended an event at the Blood Bank and encouraged everyone
to give blood, which will help people with any disaster that occurs.

setting. He stated he did visit another shelter to learn about their policies and procedures. He

Gl. CONSIDERATION TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE THAT ADOPTS BY REFERENCE COUNTY
ORDINANCE 3930 RELATING TO THE INSPECTION GRADING OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS
A staff report was presented by Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager.
Mayor Alexander stated he no longer feels this is necessary after talking with the Police Chief and the
City Manager. He stated he is no longer convinced that this needs to go through. He stated we are
currently dealing with the State of California and they are identifying what they call violators in our
community for selling tobacco to underaged individuals. He stated they are not sharing the information,
nor are these businesses being told they are breaking the law. He stated nobody can get any information
who they are except for the Police Department. He stated he feels the Ordinance is a good thing, but felt
it inconsistent to single out the restaurant owners and not single out the people that are selling tobacco
illegally. He stated this makes no sense and until such time we can get some resolution to what is going
on with being consistent with our business people, he wanted to put this on hold.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated he would like to see this continued until Councilmember Michael comes
back.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he would like to see a violation process given with a couple months
given to take care of any problems noted before they get a letter grade. He felt his was a questionable
Ordinance to act on now.
Councilmember Williams stated she would like to postpone this action also. She stated she did not feel
someone should be given a B or C grade because of a broken tile or something like that. She stated she
agreed with the Mayor's comments on the selling of tobacco.

Cucamonga, California.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated he was made aware that restaurant owners are required to put a
certificate along with the letter grading in the window, which is something that has been in the books, but
hasn't been enforced and now is. He definitely felt this should be looked into.

Page 9
Mark Davidson, owner of Margarita Beach, formerly known as Margaritaville, wanted to speak to the
Council about this matter and stated one of the neighbors near his business wants his business permit
to be revoked. He talked about the success of their business and that they have strived to be a good
neighbor. He stated they do respect the rights of the neighbors, but felt if problems arise, they should
be contacted so they can correct them. He stated they have spoken to Mr. Sanchez in the past and
that Captain Ortiz has assisted with their meetings. He felt their meetings were successful and that
one of the meetings even resulted in one of his employees being terminated. He stated he has taken
measures so that the customers do not park on Estacia and that they have even picked up trash on
that street. He indicated he has given Mr. Sanchez his personal phone numbers if there are any
problems. He stated he has never been contacted by Mr. Sanchez and that there have not been any
complaints filed against him. He stated he respects the rights of Mr. Sanchez and would like the
opportunity to correct the problems that Mr. Sanchez talks about.
Ed Sanchez, Estacia, talked about how Margaritaville came into existence. He stated they hold
promotions that fill their parking lot. He stated the overflow is on their street where people are drinking,
leaving trash and having sex. He talked about meetings he has had with former Rancho Cucamonga
Captain, Rodney Hoops, and his staff. He provided more information about their meetings and that the
possibility of revoking their CUP was discussed. He stated Mr. Davidson stated he would have a
bouncer to keep the parked cars in his parking lot and would also pick up trash from his neighborhood.
He told about an instance that occurred where graffiti was sprayed on his van. He felt the owners of
Margaritaville fill the kids with cheap liquor and send them out into the streets. He felt this information
should be referred to the Planning Commission for review. He felt the City Council should do what is
the right for them.
Chris Cameron, Pasito, stated she lives perpendicular to Estacia. She stated she has watched girls in
her neighborhood drinking and then proceeding to Margaritaville. She stated they have had security
monitoring the residential areas. She stated they are constantly picking up beer bottles and that
something needs to be done because of these problems that occur every weekend.
Klm Weishan, Pasito, stated she has had kids that are drunk knocking on their door and having sex in
their parked cars.
Marya Black stated she has had kids having sex, drinking, and urinating in their front yard. She stated
the Police Department does not get their fast enough. She stated that Margaritaville needs better
security and something to take care of the parking lot over[Iow problem. She does not want her kids
to be scared any more.
Vicki Schimone, Pasito, stated she has had kids trying to break into her home because they are so
drunk. She is fearful for her kids' safety. She stated the kids are racing at 1:00 and 2:00 in the
morning and that she wants this to stop. She stated they had been told there would be security on
Estacia and Ramona. She stated she has filed reports with the Police Department and that she is tired
of living this way.
Victoria Sanchez, Estacia, presented photos (on file in the City Clerk's office) of what the kids are
doing in front of her house. She told about all the problems they have had in front of her house, but
added the biggest problem was her Father's van getting tagged with graffiti. She stated she is so tired
of this and hoped their CUP would be revoked.
Jim OIson, Estacia, stated the problem he seems to have is after the closing of Margaritaville. He
commented on what he finds Sunday mornings such as broken glass, vomit and trash on the streets.
He talked about the kids racing on the streets. He did not feel the Police Department is doing enough.
He did not feel this behavior should be tolerated.
Betty Watkins, Estacia, talked about the kids urinating in her front yard. She wanted to make sure the
neighborhood is safe for her grandkids and asked the Council to consider this real hard.

Rodney Trunnell, Estacia, stated everything that everybody has mentioned has occurred at his house
also. He stated there was even a weapon found in front of his house. He felt nothing has been done
to help them from the meetings that have occurred with the Police Department.
Peggy Sanchez, Estacia, stated they did not call Mr. Davidson every time there were problems
because it would not be documented through the Police Department. She did not think this was a very
safe situation for her daughter. She stated the Officer that responded to her house one time told her
there were not enough Officers on the street to respond as quickly as they would tike to. She
encouraged Mr. Davidson to pay for better security and have a bouncer that will do something to help
them.
Emily LaQuay, Pines Mobile Home Park, stated she does hear the kids from the bar racing on the
streets.
Larry Liberto, Estacia, stated he is tired of this and can't take it any longer. He stated he is tired of
people urinating in front of his house. He did not feel the bouncer is doing his job. He asked that they
get their neighborhood back.
Pat Stevens, Pines Mobile Home Park, stated the noise from the kids makes her mobile home vibrate.
She added that Mr. Davidson, the owner of Margaritaville, has been fair and has offered to help with
the noise.
Counoilmember Gutierrez stated both sides have been heard and felt the City needed the Planning
Commission to analyze this for the next step. He stated the City Council cares and wants to find a
solution. He felt Mr. Davidson should be treated fair and deserves his day in court. He asked what
kind of a detriment there is by having the liquor store in the same center. He stated this should be
looked into as well. He felt this should be referred to the proper department. He felt Mr. Davidson
would do what he could to fix the situation.
Mayor Alexander fett nine years is too long for these people to put up with this. He felt the business
should be closed until this problem is remedied, but knew the City Council could not do this. He felt
the people that are wandering the neighborhoods drunk should be arrested. He stated this would be
looked into.
Councilmember Williams stated this would be investigated and that the liquor store monitored too so it
could be brought into this discussion. She suggested all the businesses should be looked at in that
center.
L2. John Lyons commented on the restaurant grading system and did not agree with some of the
problems this could be creating.
L3. Jim Moffit, Red Hill Coffee Shop in Rancho Cucamonga, stated some restaurants are putting their
grade in the window even though it is not required. He stated the Health Department comes in and
gives them corrective criticism, and some of those comments are not related to the food. He felt there
was a lot to be considered before people are given a grade to put in their window. He talked about the
food handler's permit that restaurants are required to get. He did not feel the restaurant should be
given any tougher problems.
L4. A lady (who did not identify herself) thanked Mayor Alexander and Councilmember Spagnolo for
their concerns and encouragement they gave people to come to the Animal Shelter Subcommittee
meeting tomorrow. She stated it is at 1:00 p.m. at City Hall
