Agencymember Michael asked where these monies will come from. James Markman, Legal Counsel, stated the Redevelopment Agency has its financing come from an increase in assessed valuation from the Redevelopment Project Area, which was established in the early 1980's.

He stated 20% of that money must be used by the Redevelopment Agency to generate and preserve affordable housing units in the City and preferably the Redevelopment Project Area. He stated the $42.5 million cannot be used for general fund purposes or economic purposes. He stated the only way to generate the money for this is to sell bonds that are mentioned in the second Resolution.

Agencymember Gutierrez stated the City is required to provide housing that is affordable for our population. He stated this is also called "workforce housing."

He added the Sheriff's Department would be happy to work with the City on the clean-up of the canyon and offered the Sheriff's Department resources. He stated he was present to address the City Council about the Sheriff's Department contract and would also like to talk about the letter dated 7/11/97 regarding the contract partnership. He stated the Sheriff's Department has been with the City of Rancho Cucamonga for 30 years. He stated today the budget is $25 million with 185 employees, compared to $1.3 million 30 years ago with approximately 40 employees. He appreciated the City making public safety a priority. He stated Rancho Cucamonga is a major concern of theirs since it is one of their largest contract cities. He stated when they make choices for command positions at the various cities, it is based on the politics, the person's track record, personality and experience. He stated in July 1997 it was agreed that the City was to have a voice in the selection of Rancho Cucamonga's command position. He apologized for not asking for their input with the recent change, stating he completely forgot about it. He commented on previous people that have served in the command position for Rancho Cucamonga. He stated in the future when there are changes in Rancho Cucamonga they will talk with the City three months in advance to get their input. He felt the Council, Mayor, himself and his staff should meet. He stated ultimately the decision will be his.

He stated they do recognize the importance of having someone stay an extended period of time. He didn't feel it is a good thing to keep a Captain here for more than five (5) years because of stopping someone from promotional opportunities, but that they would keep them here as long as they can. He stated the deputies do like to work in Rancho Cucamonga because it is a good place to work and they typically don't want to leave here. He stated they do try to promote from within the station whenever possible. He stated that can be good and bad for the person promoting. He stated the City had requested asix-month transition period, and added he felt it should be a four-month period. He stated they appreciate the relationship with Rancho Cucamonga and apologized for the way it was handled when Pete Ortiz left. He said Rancho Cucamonga is at the top of their list and want to continue providing excellent service. Councilmember Spagnolo stated his hat is off to the Sheriff and his staff. He commented on the caliber of people that work in Rancho Cucamonga. He said the City always wonders how the next captain coming in can be better than the last one. He appreciated what all his staff do to benefit the community with their programs. Councilmember Michael stated he appreciated him being here tonight:ar)d his willingness to work with the City. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he echoed all the comments made, and appreciated the communication efforts made by the Sheriff. He stated all the deputies have done an excellent job.
