Malissa McKeith, 4993 Ginger Court, stated she has heard rumors that the City of Rancho Cucamonga is negotiating with Lewis Homes on a land swap that would swap the Central Park property and allow for the construction of homes on the park property in return for land that would be located on Arrow. She asked if someone could confirm or dispel that rumor. Mayor Alexander and the Council dispelled that rumor stating it is not true. Malissa McKeith stated there is a photograph showing that the park property is excluded from the parks district and that there are people that live across the street from the Central Park property and pay fees into the district; however they have not had Central Park near them to enjoy for the last 15 years. She asked why the park is not part of the park district. James Markman, City Attorney, stated the park district was structured for Red Hill and Heritage Parks and was based on allocation of the use of those parks through certain areas of the City. He stated the park district doesn't cover the whole City. He stated Cental Park was acquired through a series of dedications from Lewis Homes over a 15-year period so that: the acquisition costs were really a part of the dedication from their planned development. Malissa McKeith asked if Central Park could be included in the parks district and could that legally be done. James Markman, City Attorney, stated the City is exploring every mechanism for financing the development and maintenance of Central park that is available under law. He felt anything that is done would probably have to be done under an election because of Proposition 218. He stated staff is working with the public to see what their priorities are for what goes in the park and also to ask what funding mechanism they would like. C2. Linda Lapham, 6011 Cameo St., stated she also owns a sign business. She stated she has tried to do business with the City to do regulatory and warning signs for over ten years, and has had no luck. She understands there is a sign business within the City called Central City signs, which the City does buy signs from. She added they have not had a valid business license since December, 1997. She asked she be considered to have her sign business looked at which is called "Vue-Way Signs" as a possible supplier of signs to the City. She left her business card with the City Clerk.
