Q. CITY MANAGERS STAFF REPORTS
CITY COUNCIL
The following items have no legal publication or posting requirements.
Q1.
INCLUDE THE ENTIRE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
Fabian Villenas, Principal Management Analyst, presented the staff report.
In response to Council Member Buquet, Mr. Villenas noted that he not received an official reason why
the northern part of the City was not included in either map. He expected that the Commission was
trying to ensure that districts were of similar size.
Mr. Villenas indicated to Council Member Williams that the City had not received a response to the
letter that was sent regarding this matter. However, he noted that letters are typically sent during the
comment period and that the Commission takes these comments into account when updating the
maps. He hoped that the second draft will have the changes needed to ensure that the City was kept
entirely within one district in both maps.
In response to Mayor Michael, Mr. Villenas stated that he has contacted the City of Upland, and
stated that they have similar concerns.
Mr. Villenas indicated that staff would be monitoring this and would submit a second letter if needed.
Also, once direction is received, an effort would be made to encourage the residents to submit
comments.
Mayor Michael noted that the timing of this was such that the letter only contained his signature. He
noted that additional letters could be sent on behalf of the entire City Council and perhaps a
Resolution could be placed on the August 3, 2011 meeting.
Council Member Williams indicated that it was ironic that the Commission was established to stop
gerrymandering of boundaries and these maps do not accomplish this goal.
MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Spagnolo, to urge the California Citizens Redistricting
Commission to revise Assembly District Map and the Senate District Map to include the entire City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Motion carried 5-0.
R. COUNCIL BUSINESS
Items R3 through RS was considered at this time but are shown in the order that they were

Jim Markman, City Attorney, presented the staff report
Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo noted that the City Council had established a goal in 2006 for succession
planning to occur. Over the years, he has worked with John Gillison and has found him to be very
capable individual. Mayor Pro Tem Michael noted that when Jack Lam announced his retirement, it
was a logical step to consider Mr. Gillison as the new City Manager.
Council Member Alexander indicated that he is reasonably convinced that Mr. Gillison will do a good
job. He addressed contract negotiations and stated his objectives to ensure that the salary was
sensitive to these economic times while being competitive with surrounding cities. Council Member
Alexander also noted that the contact language was modified so that a majority of the City Council
could remove the City Manager if needed. Currently, the contract requires a super majority. Council
Member Alexander was looking forward to working with Mr. Gillison.
Council Member Buquet stated that he has worked closely with John Gillison and indicated that his
management skills and professionalism is an asset to the organization. Mr. Gillison listens to the
concerns of the City Council and follows up. Council Member Buquet indicated that the contract
negotiations attest to Mr. Gillison's commitment to being part of the solution and in recognizing the
needs of the City.
