C. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
II
C1. Terry Massi stated there are Democrats in Rancho Cucamonga. He stated there will be a
Democratic Club meeting on October 10 at 7:00 p.m. in the Brulte Center, and added they will also have
a booth at the Grape Harvest Festival. He stated he is proud to be part of the Democratic party. He told
what previous Democrats have done for the Country. He continued talking about the Governor's election
and the platforms of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
C2. Jim Erwin, Chief of the San Bernardino County Employee's Association, who also serves the City's
Police Department, stated the Sheriff's Department wants to continue serving the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. He felt some of the statistics are growing because of the growth of residents in the City. He
felt both the Police and Fire Departments do an outstanding job. He stated he is here tonight because of
the election coming up. He felt they have three Councilmembers supporting the City to continue with the
Sheriff's Department, and that there are two votes to get the City's own Police Department. He stated
they are actively supporting Rex Gutierrez and Diane Williams for City Council and Don Kurth for Mayor.
He said they would prefer to spend their money on other things, but felt they should be supporting these
three candidates because they want to continue serving Rancho Cucamonga.
C3. John Lyons, candidate for City Council, stated there was talk several years ago to get our own
Police Department, but added that we cannot afford to do this. He stated the Daily Bulletin exposed that
Don Kurth's wife is owner of the Colonies Project. He felt Councilmember Williams has some explaining
to do because she has always supported Don Kurth. He wanted to know when she found this out. He
stated the Colonies is suing San Bernardino County and wants $300,000,000 of our tax dollars. He
stated one of the ways they wanted to do this was through SAN BAG. He stated Councilmember Williams
pretty much removed Mayor Alexander from SAN BAG and felt we have a problem here. He felt an
investigation should be done. He felt an investigation should be done into any activity that has gone on at
LAFCO since Councilmember Williams serves on that Board also. He stated we can thank the Daily
Bulletin for exposing this. He commented on Diane Williams and Rex Gutierrez meeting in secret to
appoint Kurth and Howdyshell several years ago. He stated Councilmember Williams doesn't tell the
truth and should resign from the Council. He felt this is serious and possibly criminal activity. He asked
people not to vote for Councilmember Diane Williams.
C4. Joe Pastor of Etiwanda stated he is here from the Chaffey Arts Association and felt this is a gem. He
stated on October 28th they will be having a 651h anniversary party. He told about the art in their facility.
C5. Tony Mize, PAL Campaign, talked about the $1 million home or the $850,000 cash that is being
raffled with the proceeds to go to the Cultural Center. He stated there is another early bird drawing to
occur in the near future.
C6. Vince Dilde from Hungary stated he came to the United States because he is not a Communist. He
stated there is a real problem in this country. He felt we have a problem with the illegals on Grove
Boulevard.

C7. Ron Sakala invited everyone to the Grape Harvest Festival this Friday and Saturday to be held at the
Victoria Gardens Cultural Center area. He stated there are vendors, a kid's zone and a wine appreciation
tent.
C8. Melanie Ingram, Rosebud Street, stated she is happy about Station 177 and hoped the Alta Loma
Riding Club will "get over it." She stated she still chairs Rancho Recall and stated they feel they have
achieved mission accomplished since Kurth and Howdyshell did not get re-elected. She stated she was
surprised that Kurth is running for Mayor and is insulted. She stated she can confirm that Kurth has been
an alcoholic, a drug abuser, imprisonment for drugs and assaulted behavior against women, and added
she has documentation on this. She stated many of these acts occurred while he was an adult, and
many of them while he was a physician .here in Rancho Cucamonga. She stated this is not the type of
individual she wants to see on the Councilor as Mayor. She stated it is up to the voters who will get
elected to the Council. She stated she is concerned about the developers trying to influence the
candidates. She stated they are following SEBA and the money trail of contributions they are making.
She talked about what the Colonies Development is doing and did not agree with their plan. She stated
she hopes she doesn't see the names of the Colonies people on the campaign forms that are due in a
couple of days. She put everyone on notice about Dr. Kurth. She hoped people will check out the
candidates they are voting on. She hoped everyone will look at John Lyons because he gives a "big
damn" about the City.
C9. Leslie Grimes asked Councilmember Gutierrez if he ever paid Dan Richards back the $3,000 he
owed him because he said he didn't want to feel beholden to him. She said she didn't know Dan
Richards was an owner of the Colonies Project. She stated she is not a fan of this project. She stated
the Colonies wants to build on the flood control area and make money from selling houses. She stated
after this project is completed, the Colonies will be gone and any flooding that might occur will be the
responsibility of the taxpayers. She stated our City is impacted by the Colonies Project in many ways.
She thanked Mayor Alexander because he allows the people to speak their mind. She stated the Upland
Mayor is rude and doesn't respect its citizens. She stated Mayor Alexander does respect people and
allows them to speak their mind because he is a good man and cares what the citizens have to say. She
asked people to look at where the campaign contributions come from. She hoped developers will
develop in a responsible manner.
C10. Bill McCliman felt we should look into the issue of yard signs and whether it is illegal or not. He felt
people come to the podium because they care. He stated he didn't know if he should believe Money
Magazine's stats or the Department of Justice stats, and stated that crime in the City has gone up
considerably. He stated he blamed the Council for not protecting the residents as they should. He felt
the City needs more police officers. He stated he does have a sign in his yard and does support his
candidate.

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS

11. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per Councilmember.)
Councilmember Michael commented that the Grape Harvest Festival is this weekend. He stated the Mark
Christopher Charity Classic is also this weekend at Empire Lakes. He stated this City's financial situation
has reserves for a number of projects for the City. He stated every year at budget time the Council
discusses what the reserves can be used for.
Jack Lam, City Manager, commented what the reserves can be used for. He stated the reserves have
helped our credit rating increase from an A+ to a AA- through Standard and Poors. He stated when the
City goes out for funding for our capital projects, this credit rating will help us get more money at better
rates. He stated the City does use reserves when necessary, i.e., the Fire Strategic Plan implementation,
the recovery from the Grand Prix Fire and flood control issues on Bella Vista that occurred after the
Grand Prix Fire.
Councilmember Williams commented again on the house raffle to benefit the Cultural Center, and stated
there will be a booth at the Grape Harvest Festival for more information about this. She stated people
can go to rcpal.org for more information. She stated people can also adopt a pet from the animal shelter
there. She commented on the "Miss Nelson is Missing" performance at the Cultural Center.
Councilmember Spagnolo commented on statistics that are reported. He stated the list.of dangerous jobs
is a misnomer. He stated his hat goes off to public safety representatives, and stated he is passionate
about this. He stated his son is a police officer and he definitely has respect for 'what he does. " .
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he can't wait for the election to be over and that he regrets that it gets
this way. He felt we have a lot of things going on that are good. He stated he resents some of the
attacks on both sides. He said no one hates fire fighters, but gets concern when one special interest
group is a majority. He congratulated the City Manager for his work towards the City's AA- rating, and
added he is a great City Manager.
Mayor Alexander stated there is no drive to displace the Sheriff's Department from the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, and is sorry this is the information that SEBA has. He stated there is nothing being done to
get rid of the Sheriff's Department. He stated it is too bad some people have drawn a wedge between
police and fire.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated with regards to the lawn sign issue, there are sign regulations for
every City, including limitations. He said City's control the size and when signs can go up before the
election through the City's Sign Ordinance. He stated this is what the controversy is about. He stated
this Ordinance has been in the City since incorporation, but added that it can't be enforced legally. He
stated the City will not go on someone's property and remove a sign. He stated the City is asking that
people voluntarily to comply with this Ordinance. He stated all of the candidates have been informed that
City Council Minutes

Page 9
they are being asked to voluntarily comply. He stated tonight he heard three of his clients accused of
committing a crime. He stated even though it is true that you can insult Councilmembers at open
meetings, you cannot do this in a reckless way because you are subject to being sued for slander. He
suggested people doing this not cross the line because of the potential for a lawsuit being filed.
Councilmember Michael asked if the City can remove signs after the ten days after the election is over
when the signs are supposed to be removed but are not.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated if they are in the public right of way the staff can do this, but not on
private property.
12. CONSIDERATION OF FLYING THE POW/MIA FLAG ON CITY HALL FLAGPOLE
A staff report was presented by Joe O'Neil, City Engineer.
Councilmember Spagnolo stated back in August he asked why we were not flying a POW/MIA flag at City
Hall. He stated it flies 24/7 at the Alta Loma Honor Roll Memorial. He stated it is appropriate to fly it
under the U.S. flag. He felt the same thing should be done at City Hall as is done at the Alta Loma Honor
Roll.
Mayor Alexander agreed with Councilmember Spagnolo's recommendation.
MOTION: Moved by Spagnolo, seconded by Michael to fly the POW/MIA flag at City Hall, and the Fire
District Headquarters building and at Central Park. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, stated it flies in Upland and Montclair and the Veteran's Hospital. He stated
possibly some day it can expand to other facilities.
13. CONSIDERATION TO ADD TO THE AGENDA FORMAT "COUNCIL RESPONSES TO PUBLIC
COMMENTS." TO BE PLACED AFTER "PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS" (Oral)
Councilmember Michael stated he asked that this be placed on the agenda for discussion. He stated he
just wants for the Councilor staff to have the opportunity to be able to respond on public comments that
might not be accurate. He felt it would be good for people to hear the other side of comments being
made by the public. He stated he would like to see this added after all Public Comment sections on all
three agendas.
MOTION: Moved by Michael, seconded by Williams to add "Council Responses to Public Comments"
under Public Communications on all three agendas.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he supports this idea. He felt this was only fair.
Councilmember Spagnolo felt that possibly staff should be able to comment or given the opportunity to
bring back information for the next agenda on an issue if needed.
Motion carried 4-1 (Alexander voted no).
14. CONSIDERATION FOR AN "EXCLUSIVE" PARKING PERMIT ORDINANCE ON FALLING STAR
COURT
Councilmember Gutierrez stated this isn't exactly what he wanted the report to be about. He stated at the
last meeting a gentleman spoke about this and he wanted to see what other cities do. He felt staff should
talk to him and see what he really wants and bring this back at a future meeting.
ACTION: Removed from the agenda and to come back at a future meeting.
