Our volunteers bring passion and special skillsets to the table that enhance our events and programs. Volunteering provides an opportunity for just one person to make an impact on the entire community. Whether delivering hot meals to homebound seniors, coaching a youth sports team, fostering a litter of kittens, or preparing for a natural disaster through CERT training, the City offers diverse opportunities to meet interests of those looking to give back to the community. Volunteers reap benefits like acquiring new skills, meeting new people, gaining valuable work experience, making professional contacts, building self-confidence, and improving the quality of life in the community. Each one is essential to strengthening existing programs and services, and key to helping the City to develop new ones. We encourage community members to show pride and get involved in civic activities they enjoy through volunteer opportunities. An impressive 1,500 individuals actively volunteered and contributed over 69,000 hours of services in 2016. Here is a sample of volunteer opportunities we currently offer: • Animal Care and Adoption Center: Animal socializer, dog walker, caretaker, clerical aide, community outreach, foster care, photographer, transporter, veterinary services fundraising • Community Improvement: Sign removal, special exterior property cleanup, other community beautification efforts • Community Services: Friends of the Playhouse, Friends of the Senior Center, TRAC, youth sports coach, gift shop, Central PeRC snack shop, special events, greeters, ushers, ticket takers • Fire District: Explorers, Community Emergency Response Team members, amateur radio operator • Healthy RC: Community Champions, Youth Leaders, Healthy RC Steering Committee members, Healthy RC Compassionate Community Committee members • Library Services: Friends of the Library, Back 2 Basics, summer reading program, housecall services, adult literacy tutor, picture book shelver • Police Department: Explorers, Citizens on Patrol, Reserve Deputy Sheriffs The City hosts an annual Volunteer Appreciation event as a small token of appreciation for the entire volunteer force at large. Volunteers who contributed 50 or more hours of service in the previous fiscal year receive an invitation to attend the recognition, hosted by City Council and City staff. The 2016-17 Volunteer Appreciation will take place on May 6, 2017, at the Rancho Cucamonga Epicenter. Volunteers can look forward to live entertainment and dinner, followed by a presentation of awards. The evening concludes with an opportunity to stay and enjoy a baseball game at LoanMart Field, courtesy of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Those interested in volunteering for the City must first submit an online volunteer application, and some positions may require further screening.

I have heard many times that it is one of the few businesses where you only need to be right 50% of the time, or less, and still be considered successful. A good example is the last two rainy seasons. 2015 was supposed to be an El Niño year, but it was one of the driest and warmest winters on record. 2016 was originally not forecast to be anything exceptional, and it has turned out to be one of the wettest winters in the last 10+ years, with exceptional snowpack in Northern California. As a result of a nice long, cool winter with substantial rain over a 4 month period, it seems to many like the drought is over. One of the more frequent questions I have received lately is when will the City bring back the lush green grass that used to line medians throughout the city and adorn public facilities like a living emerald. Going back more than just the last two years, the cost of water in this area has been rising approximately 5% a year for many years. This relentless increase, which far exceeds other utilities and most overhead costs, eventually began to take its toll on budgets which depend on a fixed source of revenue (like landscape maintenance districts) that had not increased in several decades. When the City first began community meetings, and continuing through the LMD 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and PD 85 assessment district elections, the single biggest feedback from residents in relation to controlling costs was the desire to move to drought tolerant landscaping. Consequently, even before the drought, the City began using available funds (from reserves or increased assessments) to design and then convert grass and other landscape areas to native and/ or drought tolerant designs which used substantially less water and required substantially less maintenance. These projects were all selected, designed and constructed to ensure there was a return on the investment and the project showed a positive net benefit. With the aggressive State actions in 2015-16 these efforts took on more urgency. California enacted emergency regulations to prohibit irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf on public street medians. In addition, strong pressure was applied on municipalities to stop irrigating other non-functional ornamental turf such as strips bordering street lanes. For a period of time, water rates locally increased by 30% to meet State mandated reductions in use. The City of Rancho Cucamonga vigorously applied for all available rebates to convert street median areas from grass to drought tolerant landscaping. Significant “non-functional” turf areas in the parks, particularly those under tree canopies, were converted to mulch and the irrigation turned off to conserve funds. Plans were put in place to convert the landscaping at various public facilities from grass to drought tolerant landscaping. Two examples of these conversions are the Archibald Library (which is complete) and the Rancho Cucamonga Civic Center (which is currently in progress). The City is committed to continuing these efforts, despite the recent rains. Conversions are continuing this year and will for the foreseeable future. Watering and mowing of grass are one of the most significant public facility costs in the City. Even with mowing contracted out, the costs are still extensive. Further, history shows that California is a naturally arid climate and cycles of drought and rain are natural. Moving to a more natural and adapted landscape invests in our future, helps minimize maintenance needs, while preserving water for important significant outdoor uses like youth sports as well as indoor uses such as residential and commercial development. So yes, it may seem like the drought is over right now, but in reality it has only lessened somewhat in its urgency. Water is still a precious resource in Southern California and good stewardship of budgets as well as water demands that we make prudent decisions on how best to conserve and allocate both limited resources. Thank you for your support of our water saving efforts these last few years, during the State restrictions; and in the future as we remain committed to being water wise. — John R. Gillison City Manager City Manager’s Message RC Joins What Works Cities Rancho Cucamonga Teams With Ivy League to Improve Residents’ Lives The City of Rancho Cucamonga was selected to participate in the coveted What Works Cities initiative. Launched by Bloomberg Philanthropies in 2015, What Works Cities is a national initiative to help 100 mid-sized American cities enhance their use of data and evidence to improve services, inform local decision-making and engage residents. The initiative will pair the City over the next year with prominent technical assistance experts from John Hopkins University and Harvard University in order to build organizational capacity for utilizing data and evidence. Participation in the program is provided at no cost. Over the past couple years, the City has increasingly utilized data for engaging residents and enhancing transparency of City operations. An online performance measurement dashboard was launched in 2016 and displays key data indicators for various municipal services for the public to view on the City’s website. The first phase included public safety and cultural and community services data with the next phase displaying community development, governance and finance, and health and sustainability data. Last year, the City was invited by the White House to participate in the Police Data Initiative and joined leading law enforcement agencies from around the nation in order to improve relationships between residents and police through the use of data. 2 View the online Performance Dashboard at: https://performance.CityofRC.us New Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Signal In March 2017, students, parents, teachers, residents, and motorists on Rochester Avenue adjacent to Rancho Cucamonga High School were first to see the new pedestrian hybrid beacon known as the High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk, or the HAWK. The HAWK is a traffic control device that helps pedestrians and bicyclists cross mid- block across high traffic roadways. The new crosswalk signal is designed to increase visibility and improve safety for students and visitors at Rancho Cucamonga High School that need to cross Rochester Avenue. This signal will be beneficial during school let-in and let-out and during events at the school stadium. For more information on this new crosswalk signal, visit the Engineering Services page on the City website at www. CityofRC.us.Specialty Camps Added to the Camp Cucamonga Lineup New Camp Offerings Encourage Growth and Social Awareness The City of Rancho Cucamonga is excited to introduce our campers to new and fun experiences this year.

RC Residents Show Health Improvements as a Result of Healthy RC Healthy is the New Happy in Rancho Cucamonga, Thanks to Healthy RC Rancho Cucamonga residents are enjoying healthier meals, activities, and lifestyles, thanks in large part to the Healthy RC program. Healthy RC has been a successful City-community partnership since 2008, receiving national recognition for its work improving community health. The program is known for its leadership, innovation, and best practices. Healthy RC takes a broad approach to improving health by focusing on the eight community health priorities identified by Rancho Cucamonga residents. The Rancho Cucamonga community is well aware that things are different today than they were eight years ago when the Healthy RC initiative launched. There are countless stories of families enjoying park spaces and trails for physical activity, the benefits of the farmers’ markets in helping families access fresh produce, sidewalks and safety improvements for children walking or biking to school, and new educational resources for families. Healthy RC embarked on a 15-month Evaluation Plan to specifically assess how Healthy RC has impacted the community. Since Healthy RC’s inception in 2008-09, rates have trended downward in childhood obesity (13%), overweight students (7-12%), heart disease (20%), diabetes (14%), and cancer (21%). Community health survey results further indicate that Rancho Cucamonga residents are making lifestyle changes that support positive trends in health outcomes, and that a large proportion of residents are participating in Healthy RC sponsored Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) activities. Additionally, the results of this survey found that the majority of respondents stated that Rancho Cucamonga is a safe place to live (82%) and raise children (91%), and that half of respondents were active in the community and a majority (74%) felt connected to their community. It is wonderful to see the health improvements of our community since 2008, but there is still work to be done. If you are interested in getting involved with Healthy RC, please visit www.HealthyRC.com or call (909) 477-2700. 4 Evaluation Plan 2016 Healthy RCDownward Trends Childhood Obesity Overweight Students Since Healthy RC’s inception in 2008-09 Heart Disease Diabetes Cancer 13% 7-12% 20% 14% 21% “What makes Healthy RC so special is they cover everyone from little children, to teens, to (those) with special needs, to our seniors, and you can just find something for everybody.” Melissa Mata, RC Business Owner “In order for the whole city to thrive there should be equal amenities for all.” RC Resident “Health should be #1 for the City and community in everything we do.” Sunrise Rotary Club Member Mental Health Symposium Encourages Community Conversation Thursday, June 15, 2017 6:00-8:00 p.m. Central Park (11200 Base Line Rd.) Healthy RC invites you and your family to the next Mental Health Symposium in collaboration with the Healthy RC Compassionate Community initiative. The event will feature community conversations on topics such as youth mental health, anxiety, and substance abuse. Rancho Cucamonga residents identified mental health as one of eight community health priorities. As many as one in five Americans are affected by mental health conditions, but nearly 60 percent of adults do not seek mental health services. Healthy RC launched a series of Mental Health Symposiums to connect the community to valuable resources and services, and provide an opportunity to access experts who can answer questions and provide valuable information. For more information, please visit www. HealthyRC.com or call (909) 477-2700. Kindness is Contagious Acts of Kindness Are Taking the City by Storm At the State of the City in February 2017, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Healthy RC announced the Compassionate Community initiative. Residents and community groups shared their desire to make a difference in our City through acts of kindness and compassion that could ultimately lead to a healthy, sustainable, and resilient community. The Healthy RC Steering Committee and the Compassionate Community Committee have led the effort by creating monthly themes, Kindness Cards, and social media challenges. Both of these groups are comprised of dedicated residents, local businesses, non-profit agencies, City and County staff, hospitals, and community groups. Anyone and everyone are invited to join the initiative and take action in creating a compassionate community in Rancho Cucamonga. Take a look at how our community is sharing kindness. #BeKindRC A video of an adorable little girl saying, “Hi!” to everyone that walked by was shared on Facebook with the #BeKindRC hashtag. Upland Christian Academy showed love to the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department by surprising them with cards on Valentine’s Day. #TeamRC had fun with a Kindness Calendar and performed 31 acts of kindness in each department across the city! It’s your turn to take action and #BeKindRC! Join our community in creating a compassionate environment for everyone who lives, works, or plays in Rancho Cucamonga. Take the kindness challenge and open a door, share a smile, lend a helping hand, or give someone a compliment. For more information, and to participate with Compassionate Communities, please contact Healthy RC at www.HealthyRC.com or (909) 477-2700. 55 Meet Bruce, a Rancho Cucamonga resident who absolutely loves the Compassionate Community initiative because it helps him in his daily life. Bruce was recently in a car accident that left him immobile for quite some time. He still has limited mobility and appreciates how this initiative is encouraging others to lend a hand and share a smile. “I’m temporarily handicapped right now. People have seen me in situations I couldn’t get out of or needed help, and they would come up and give me a hand. I think Compassionate Communities is great, I think we need more kindness in the world. I have been so grateful to those that have helped me when they saw I needed help. It’s something I want to reward people for and thank them.” “I enjoyed the Mental Health Symposium and the environment created. I learned a lot about mental illness and what I can do to help myself and others.” RC Resident M NDMATTERS M NDMATTERS M NDMATTERS Hellman Avenue Railroad Crossing Improvements Coming this Summer Updates designed to improve rail, traffic, and pedestrian safety at the railroad crossing on Hellman Avenue at 8th Street will begin early this summer. The project scope includes completing curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements along Hellman Avenue between 8th and 9th Streets. The existing all-way stop at Hellman and 8th Street will also be replaced with a traffic signal. Upgrades to rail equipment will include safety features like pedestrian crossing gates. The City expects project completion by the end of the year. Hellman Avenue north of 8th Street will be closed during construction to facilitate equipment and protect drivers, pedestrians, and crews. The $3.5 million project leverages local and federal funds generated through a partnership between the City, Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (formerly SANBAG). For questions on this project, please visit the Engineering - Capital Improvements section on the City website at www.CityofRC.us. Rancho Cucamonga Police Department K9s Help Locate Missing Children Two Four-Legged Officers Have a Nose for Police Work Rancho Cucamonga’s kids are much safer, thanks to the talents of the four-legged members of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department (RCPD). Deputy Ryan Girard spearheaded the revitalization of the department’s K9 program in 2013. He recognized that K9 tracking could be an excellent resource for the City. Over the last four years, K9s Dare and Deja have used their sense of smell to locate missing children, disoriented seniors, developmentally disabled persons, evidence, and suspects throughout Rancho Cucamonga. Police agencies across Southern California benefit from Dare and Deja’s incredible capabilities. If an agency does not have tracking K9 resources and needs assistance with a search, Dare and Deja’s handlers are contacted. This kind of multi-agency support creates lasting partnerships between RCPD and those agencies. The most recent find involved a 10-year-old student missing from a Rancho Cucamonga Elementary School. On January 25, 2017, at around 5:45 p.m., school officials contacted RCPD when they discovered a student left campus and did not report home. Deputies searched the surrounding area, but were unable to locate the missing student. At around 7:45 p.m., Deputy Ryan Girad and K9 Dare arrived at the scene and obtained a scent article provided by the student’s parents. Dare tracked for about thirty minutes before identifying a strong scent of the child. At 8:15 p.m., Dare located the student behind bushes, asleep and uninjured, about a block away from the school. The child was immediately reunited with his parents. “Our K9s are an essential resource for our police department. Their ability to identify and track a scent, even hours after the initial report, is incredible. The dogs dramatically reduce man-hours spent on searches, getting deputies back in service and fighting crime,” said Chief Danielle Boldt of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. 6 Streetlight Acquisition from SCE On June 15, 2016, the City Council approved the purchase of 15,299 streetlights from Southern California Edison (SCE). The City will acquire the streetlights in phases, following approval by the California Public Utilities Commission. The purchase of the streetlights will result in a significant cost reduction in electric utility payments across the City’s eight Street Lighting Maintenance Districts. The City anticipates saving an estimated $1.3 million in SCE utility bills the first year after acquiring all of the streetlights. Local control of the streetlights will not only have a positive fiscal impact on the City, but also improve reliability of the lighting system with better response time for repairs and proactive monitoring of the system for outages. The City also plans to install LED fixtures known to reduce additional energy consumption, increase reliability, offer better light quality, possess longer expected service life, and require minimal maintenance. Rancho Cucamonga Firefighters Stand Ready for Wildfire Fire Season is Here and Our First Responders are Ready to Roll Drought conditions have faded thanks to winter rains that blanketed our region, yet a significant wildfire threat still looms above us in the foothills. Rancho Cucamonga firefighters stand poised and ready to respond when a wildfire starts, whether here in our community or anywhere in the state. Rancho Cucamonga Fire District personnel and equipment are part of California’s statewide master mutual aid plan, which provides the framework for mobilizing and organizing fire and rescue resources as well as systematically responding to a widespread disaster. Community resources are typically efficient for day-to-day operations, but are not necessarily always sufficient enough to handle a significant emergency such as a major earthquake or wildfire. Mutual aid framework divides the state into six mutual aid regions to effectively manage the resources and response within a defined geographic and organizational area. Rancho Cucamonga is part of Region VI, which also includes San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono counties. Last year, Rancho Cucamonga Fire District’s fleet expanded with the addition of a bright- yellow brush engine owned by the State of California’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). In exchange for local use, Cal OES requires Rancho Cucamonga firefighters staff the unit when requested for a fire anywhere in the state. This Cal OES brush engine responded to nine different incidents throughout the state in 2016, including the Blue Cut Fire in the Cajon Pass and further areas like the Soberanes Fire near Big Sur. The burden of the firefighters’ time during such responses is counteracted by a reimbursement from the California Fire Assistance Agreement. This four-wheel drive brush engine is part of a regional strike team of similar units from Murrieta, Corona, Riverside, and Redlands fire departments – only one of two cross-county strike teams in our region. Unlike a strike team of typical fire engines that is often assigned to defend structures threatened by fire, this brush engine and team of trained firefighters work in difficult remote areas to control the fire’s perimeter and stop its growth or progress. Having the right equipment is only one component of an effective response to a wildfire. Training for expected wildfires and varying fire behavior is also crucial. All Rancho Cucamonga firefighters train for wildfires, including joint training exercises with our neighboring agencies, to ensure an efficient and effective response when protecting our community. Wildland firefighting involves many facets, including: clearing brush to create a natural fire break; laying hose lines in a progressive fashion to keep up with and extinguish a fast moving fire; defending structures in the path of the fire; and working together under a unified command so that all agencies can seamlessly communicate with one another to ensure a highly effective response to a wildfire. While Rancho Cucamonga firefighters are doing their part to train and prepare for wildfire, the community needs to be vigilant as well. If you live close to our foothills, create a defensible space around your home that includes low growing plants with high moisture content. Remove dead branches or trees and clear dry vegetation, such as weeds, from around your property. Roofs and eaves are also vulnerable to flying embers in a wildfire, so be sure to clean your rain gutters and inspect your attic roof vents for proper installation and integrity. For more information on wildfire preparedness, as well as what to do in an emergency, please visit the Fire District online at www.RCFire.org/ReadyRC. 7 Where the Rubber Meets and Becomes the Road A total of 54,542 passenger car tires have already been recycled as rubberized asphalt and used in repaving projects across the City. The work was funded by a grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) that promotes surfacing products generated in California that are made of recycled-content derived from waste tires. The program decreases the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires. An estimated 60,000 additional passenger car tires will be used for the following 12 sections of roadway that are scheduled for repaving with rubberized asphalt in Spring-Summer 2017: • Rochester Avenue, from south of Foothill Boulevard to Base Line Road • Base Line Road, from Milliken Avenue to west of Day Creek Boulevard • Carnelian Street, from Lemon Avenue to Wilson Avenue • Church Street, from Pepper Avenue to Hellman Avenue • Hellman Avenue, from San Bernardino Road to Base Line Road • Hermosa Avenue, from Arrow Route to Foothill Boulevard • Hillside Road, from Archibald Avenue to Haven Avenue • Jersey Boulevard, from Haven Avenue to Rochester Avenue • San Bernardino Road, from Carnelian Street to Archibald Avenue • San Bernardino Road, from Grove Avenue to Foothill Boulevard • 6th Street, from Milliken Avenue to Charles Smith • 9th Street, from Grove Avenue to Hellman Avenue 8 Summer in the City Event Helps Kick Off Summer Reading Bring Your Love of Books and Seasonal Fun The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, Community Services Department, and Animal Care and Services proudly present Summer in the City.
