Larry Wilder, Stratton Court, stated they have been in contact with Dave

has been set up for around June I regarding the Nordic matter. He stated
they are not trying to cause problems with the City, but only wanted to
help solve problems. He stated they are not going through with the
lawsuit against the City, and would volunteer his time to be part of the
subcommittee.
Islamae Huggins commented on the trial and being in contact with Mr.
Tagllano of the Attorney General's Office. She stated Mr. Tagllano
mentioned that it would not benefit the homeowners if Nordic's
contractor's license was taken away, but rather be put on probation or
required to do certain things in order to keep his license.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he would callMr. Tagliano and find out more
information on this matter.
Councilmember Buquet suggested they look at financial resources to take care of
these problems.

hearing she would appreciate it.

be a lawsuit. against the City by the homeowners in the Nordic development, and

and concerns.

Development and felt there needed to be a lessen taught, not only to Nordic but
other contractors, that a bad contractor can only go so far. He felt possibly
the contractor's license needed to be taken away.
Jan Wilder, Stratton Court suggested Mr. Markman call Jim Tagllano and
advise him in detail about what has transpired with Nordic Development.

time the City of Rancho Cucamonga has had this type of problem even though the
City has had a lot of building activity.

like to work on the subcommittee pertaining to this matter, and that he
would like to help be a part of the solution. He also mentioned other
defects he has discovered in his home.

pertaining to the Woods, Nordic and Mr. Flores' problem, but the quality of
workmanship issue, and wanted to know what is being done to bring in the B.I.A.
and other builders to make sure something is done to make the quality of
construction better. She felt something definitely needs to be done to assure
there is better quality construction because she felt that was part of the "big"
problem.
Mayor Stout stated he felt the Ordinance in Chino which deals with workmanship,
posting of bonds and warranties should be looked at by the Council Subcommittee
because it seems to be working so well.

include it as part of the study.

matter.
