cost the residents in services provided by the City including public safety.
Mayor Stout stated he told our legislators all of the sacrifices the City has
already made to its budget in order to balance it. He added any additional cuts
by the state would mean a crisis situation for Rancho Cucamonga.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated at the last budget meeting, an overview was
presented. He mentioned he did not want to hold off on adopting Rancho
Cucamonga's budget while waiting to see what impacts the State's situation might
have on us. He said if there are any changes to be made to our budget after the
state decides what they will do, then we can go back and adjust our budget.
Jack Lam, City Manager, pointed out that a memo had been distributed regarding
the CHOICES issue that was raised at the last budget meeting. He continued to
comment on the various associations the City belongs to, stating it is up to the
Council whether or not to remain a member as he was proposing.
Councilmember Wright questioned the Resources Services budget regarding
personnel.
Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, stated there is a typo in the budget
and that there was no reduction in Resources Services staff.
Councilmember Wright commented on the proactive patrol matter, and felt there
needed to be further discussion regarding this issue.
Councilmember Buquet felt the Bicycle Program would add a whole new avenue to
proactive patrol. He also felt the motorcycles assisted in this area.
Councilmember Williams questioned whether the City would be charging residents
for labor to research information.
Jack Lam, City Manager, explained nothing had ever been decided by the Council
on this subject, but that it would be coming back to the Council sometime in July
to update the Fee Resolution, and that this could be addressed at that time.
Councilmember Alexander mentioned the time staff members devote to working with
the City Commissions, and asked if there was anything in the budget regarding
this.
Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, stated there is information
forthcoming regarding this matter, that it is in the final stages at the present
time.
Councilmember Alexander stated he did not think the City would know exactly where
they were going for some time.
