held on May 4, 2013 at Central Park.
12. Jim Heitman, representing the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, announced
various grand openings and other networking events. He noted that the 17th Annual Spring Swing
will be this Friday, May 3, 2013 at Empire Lakes.
13. Dr. William Martin II spoke about the National'Day of Prayer, which will be held on May 2, 2013
at the Bank of America courtyard at the Cultural Center.
14. Eugene Moy spoke about the recent Planning Commission decision to delay the demolition
process for the China House until a full Environmental Impact Report is prepared. Mr. Moy was
advised by the Cucamonga Valley Water District that they could not follow this decision due to the
previous action of the Building Official. Mr. Moy requested that direction be given to the Building
Official.
15. Kevin King spoke about the dismissal of the volunteers at the Animal Care and Services
Center. He noted that an inexperienced Director was employed to implement a no kill policy and
asked that the Directors be judged on the results that they deliver.
16. Jesse Kreider noted that he was told that he would never have to euthanize an animal even
though it was in his job description. He noted that he was forced to euthanize dogs by the current
Animal Services Director. Most residents do not know that the Animal Care and Services Center
euthanizes animals.
!7. Allison Kreider indicated that there was a huge reduction in the animal population at the Center
and wondered how statements could be made that the Center is thriving. She noted that some
dogs go weeks without being walked, there is no Yappy Hour and fewer videos.

Regular Meeting—May 1, 2013 - Page 4 of 15
18. Dana Keithly spoke about the successful Best Friends program. There was an article in the
Daily Bulletin today regarding the Animal Care and Services Center where the Director indicated
that all options are exhausted before an animal is euthanized. This is not the case.
19. Susan Keithly discussed how the live release rate was determined. The live release rate of
84% is different than the adoption rate as non adoptable animals are not included in the
calculations: She noted that the volunteers and Mr. Krieder were dismissed as they spoke out.
110. Josh Liddy wondered why the efforts of the dismissed volunteers aren't appreciated.
Someone needs to address the retaliation allegations and why the volunteers were fired.
111. Ed Dietl hoped that the City Council would address the statements regarding the Animal Care
and Services Center. He referred to the Planning Commission's decision regarding the China
House and hoped that the demolition order would be rescinded.
112. Jennifer Corso displayed several walk charts to the City Council. She noted that many of the
dogs are not being walked as often as they used to be. Now, new volunteers need to have a
background check. Mrs. Corso noted that the City is paying for background checks that aren't
necessary and are prolonging the pre-approval process.
113. Jim Frost noted that the Run for the Wall is two weeks away and thanked the City Council for
their support.
114. Luana Hernandez spoke about the recent action of the Planning Commission. She reported
that the Cucamonga Valley Water District has not received any correspondence from the City. She
urged the City Council to send a letter to the CVWD supporting the need for a study.
115. Matt Rogers invited the City Council and the audience to a Brew for the Cure event, to be held
on May 11, 2013 at the Rancho Cucamonga Brewing Company. The proceeds will benefit Cystic
Fibrosis.
116. David Dykstra was concerned that the City did not learn from Mr. Nathan Winograd's report on
the implementation of a"No Kill"facility.
117.John Lyons expressed his condolences to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives in
Texas. He expressed a concern with the 1-15 freeway, noting that Caltrans has blocked off the
right tow lanes and is forcing traffic immediately into Lane 3. Also, there are potholes on the
freeway. Mr. Lyons noted that background checks are done when a person volunteers at church or
at a school and indicated that he has had a good experience at the Animal Care and Services
Center.
