Home My WebLink AboutGrapevine Spring 1988_ _ _ __ Vol. VIII, No. 3 City of Rancho Cucamonga, California HAVEN AVENUE'S NEW LOOK Meclians and Signals to Improve Main Thoroughfare Haven Avenue is getting a new look. Being built in three phases, the Haven Avenue median project will add fully landscaped median islands to the Haven corridor from 4th Street in the south to Wilson Avenue in the north. The first phase from Arrow Route to 19th Street began construction on October 5, 1987 and is anticipated to be completed early this year. The second phase of the project, from 4th Street to Arrow Route began construction on November 9, 1987 and is scheduled to be completed by March, 1988. The third phase of the project which extends from 19th Street in the south to Wilson Avenue in the north is scheduled to begin construction in October, 1988 and be finished by January, 1989. The median project will construct medians with full curbs and gutters as well as landscaping and irrigation. The project is �esigned to draw attention to the pride we have in our community by highlighting what has become the main north/south thoroughfare of Rancho Cucamonga. When the project is completed, Haven Avenue will be graced by fully grown palm trees and brightly colored flowers which should make the drive along I-Iaven Avenue a very pleasant one. In conjunction with the median project, several traffic signals are being installed along Haven this year. Traffic signals are • About Your City (see �ages 4-5) scheduled to be installed at the intersections of Haven Avenue and 4th Street, 6th Street, Jersey Boulevard, and Civic Center Drive. These signals should make the traffic flow along the Haven Corridor much smoother and allow easier access to tlle many businesses along Jersey and 6th Street, the Law and Justice Inside The Grapevine • Child Safety Workshop (see pag� 7) s :, � {: .r r ' ��•. `i I i:i .t:.� , � ' i � Spring 19�8 Center, and the future Rancho. Cucamonga Civic Center and Public Safety Facility. The traffic signal at Haven and 4th is scheduled to be operational by the end of February, 1988. This signal is being installed as a cooperative effort between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the City of Ontario. When finished, this signal will make traffic to-and-from the Ontario Center, the Hilton Hotel and the San Bernardino fre�way much easier. The signals at Jersey and at 6th Street will be installed by March of 1988. These two signals will make access to the many businesses and companies that are located in these industrial areas more convenient for the hundreds of people who work and do business there every day. The signal at Haven and Civic Center Drive will be completed by February of 1988. This signal will serve all those who work or have to do business at the Law and Justice Center, Barton Plaza or the future Civic Center. As the City matures and heads for the future, streets which once were local two lane roads are now major four lane streets carrying thousands of vehicles a day. The projects on Haven Avemte are one way the City is accepting its destiny and planning for it, through coordinated traffic signals and a median island project which reflect our pride in our City now and in the future to come. � • Clean Sweep Campaign (see page 8) • Spring Recreation Schedule (see pages 10-20) c�ry D�ge�to�y City Council Dennis L.

The October 1st Whittier earthquake brings home the point to all of us that our community needs to take the necessary steps in order to ensure that we can respond and cope with such an emergency. The City has already made tremendous strides towards adequately providing for disaster relief and protection. In 1987, the City hired its first Disaster Preparedness Coordinator, a highly qualified individual coinpletely devoted to coordinating City, local agencies, businesses and residents in a joint preparation and disaster relief effort. A new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is being established at the City yard which will serve as the command post for city officials to coordinate personnel, iinplement einergency procedures and provide residents with information and instructions. In addition, the City Council, the Public Safety Commission and staff have devoted a significant amount of time toward refining the City's Emergency Plan. While adequate resources to an einergency sihiation depends on the many public agencies providing services within Rancho Cucamonga, it also depends greatly upon how well the public is preplred. The City Council advises all residents to practice safe emergency procedures and to stock necessary food, water and supplies which will aid in the event of a disaster. Remember that assistance may not be iininediately available to everyone. Providing for your safety today may pay off tomorrow. Emergency Preparedness is a never ending process. The City understands that the need to plan is now. We will continue to train our personnel, provide relevant information to the community, strengthen our resources and refine our relief tactics. With proper planning and preparation our community will respond positively to a sudden emergency and be able to minimize the threat to public safety and property. The City Council and I urge you to join us in these efforts. Sincerely, � � i � ♦ � Dennis L.

Where we live The 36.6 square mile community of' Rancho Cucamonga is - situated in the foothills of the Los ` Angeles-San Bernardino Basin. We are; in fact, located centrally between those two metropolises. Bordered by Ontario on the south, Upland on the west; and Fontana on the east, our elevation ranges from 1,050 to2,400 feet above sea level. To our north lies the Cucamonga wilderness area of the San Gabriel Mountains. Year-round temperatures average from 46 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit with an' annual average rainfall of 15 - 21 inches. Over 21,000 acres (52%) of our community'is devoted to residential use. CommerciaUindustrial land accounts for over 5,000 acres. Because of our close proximity to Southern California's cosmopolitan, areas, accessibility to cultural and recreational amenities are easily available. Within an hour's drive in any direction, we can visit lakes, mountains, beaches or desert resorts. Our community's population has increased #rom 11,000 in 1960 to nearly 85,000 (a 77% increase) in January, 1988. The most recent data available (1987) shows the following 'information about us .., the residents of Rancho Cucamonga: ` • The average family contains 3.17 persons. • The average age of a Rancho Cucamonga resident is 28 years. • Median family income is $39,620. • We live in single family homes with an average price of $86,126 (detached) and $84,975 (attached). • Occupational breakdown of our resident population is Professional Management/Administrative 33% Blue Collar 25% Clerical ` 11% Serviee/Labar 11% Retired 10% Unknown 10% • There are 4,000 registered businesses in our community. • There are 18 public elementary schools; 3 public junior high schools; and two high schools for our children to attend. ■ 3 ABOUT YOUR CITY The Emergency Prepareclness Division Any day without warning Any day without warning, a city can be thrown into an emergency crisis that threatens lives and property. Much depends on how local government responds to that crisis. Demands are placed on local government of a mag- nitude it rarely experiences. All phases of government response must work like a well oiled machine. This does not happen by chance. It takes organization, manage- ment and coordination. Organized disaster management in the United States originated with the creation of the Office of Civil Defense Planning in 1948. The primary focus of the disaster management program at that time was with attack by hostile governments. Since the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, new emphasis has been placed on local jurisdictions developing disaster/ emergency plans. After former President Carter flew over the scene and saw the devastation caused by the eruption, he ordered the National Security Council to determine the nation's state of readiness to respond to a major disaster in heavily populated areas. The report came back stating that the nation as a whole was vir- tually unprepared to respond to an event such as a catastrophic earthquake without much confusion and delay. It was then that wheels began to turn and counties and cities were mandated by the States to prepare emergency plans to cover all known hazards. (Hazards include events such as earthquakes, floods, chemical spills, etc. that may impact a jurisdiction.) Much has happened in emergency management since 1948 and even before the Mt. St. Helens incident, most of it in recent years. Now the single preparation for nuclear war has given way to the com- prehensive treatment of all types of hazards — WARFARE, NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS -- as potential threats to life and property. The creation of the FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) in 1979 resulted from the consoli- dation of five federal agencies dealing with all of the above types of emergen- cies. In addition to a new all-hazard approach, FEMA also implemented a new way of thinking about emergencies called COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MAN- AGEMENT (CEM). x � �.� s� � � � � � �� v ',� , �, ' � �� , � �� c� �. . . � , ,,. , . _d . � , �� ` � � ..• �� - ��. � ' �� . ' } -': . j�� r _s �'��..°ki .. i":�,�:�� Now, how does all this work in Rancho Cucamonga? Rancho Cucamonga is vul- nerable to a number of potential hazards. The beautiful foothills we all enjoy can turn into a wall of flames, especially dur- ing dry windy times of the year, taxing the fire-fighting resources of the fire agen- cies in Southern California and by threatening our homes. Many of our north and south bound streets are natural washes for runoff and flood during heavy or prolonged rainfall. There is one major freeway, I-15, that runs through our city with another major route at our southern boundary. Disasters know no jurisdictional lines. If a surrounding city experiences a major chemical accident on the I-10 Freeway, Rancho Cucamonga could be severely affected. To the south of the city lies Ontario International Airport, which in a few short years we are told will service over 12 million passengers a year. Flight patterns for the airport, depending on weather conditions, cross Rancho Cucamonga. High winds, such as those experienced in December of 1987, bring their own kind of devastation. And of course, the granddaddy of them all, EARTHQUAKES. Rancho Cucamonga has at least four sizeable faults close to us, the largest being the San Andreas which is just 4 miles, as the crow flies, north of Lytle Creek. Now, before you panic and put out the for sale sign, most cities in Southern California face the same hazards, many of them much worse. The challenge for emergency manage- ment is to be organized in such a way that when an "event" occurs, the response is well thought out, planned, and even practiced with each agency understanding the tasks it is reponsible for, as well as what role other agencies play. The City must strive to avoid dupli- cation of efforts and to have the resources to operate effectively in resolving the emergency. In day-to-day operations, public safety agencies such as Sheriff and Fire, work side-by-side and coordinate when needed through their respective dispatch centers. When needed, other city departments and utility companies assist to mitigate the problem. But, when major events hap- pen suddenly, resources may be depleted, and many agencies will need to respond. Emergency management works to coordi- nate this response by taking on the task of direction and control. This is usually done from an Emergency Operations Center, (EOC). A temporary EOC is now located at Rancho Cucamonga City Hall. The EOC has several functions. First, it serves as the command center. As such, it must contain the necessary communica- tions equipment so that trained personnel can direct the units out in the field. Sec- ond, it serves as an operations center for local government officials, the emergency operations staff and selected emergency volunteers such as the West End Amateur Radio Organization, (RACES) and the Red Cross. Thus, the EOC must be large enough to house the necessary equip- ment and personnel required during its activation. Third, it must serve as an infor= mation center. Provisions must be made so that incoming information can be received from units at the emergency site. Often, these are the same communication channels used to direct operations. The EOC, however, must also be able to pro- vide for press and media briefing so that the citizens of the community can be kept informed. The EOC must plan to operate indepen- dently if need be. It should provide the staff with shelter and life support ser- vices. The EOC should have an emergency power generator and have auxi]iary sources of water, heat and ven- tilation. It should also have basic facilities to make long occupation bearable. The need to keep citizens informed is a high prioriiy. Local radio and television stations are being utilized as one way of informing the public of an emergency. The EMERGENCY BROADCASTING SYSTEM, (EBS), is a well established way to instantly get information to citizens. Locally, KDUO 97.5 FM is utilized as a EBS station. Resources of all kinds are important in a disaster. A plan for the recall of Govern- ': COMMUNITY UPDATE ' Speeders Beware! Motorcycles join the beat ' A new dimension in traffic enforcement ' has begun in Rancho Cucamonga: At the ; request of City Council, the Rancho ' Cucamonga Sheriff Station has implemented the first motorcycle '; enforcement program in San Bernardino County's contract cities. The Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff's ' Station anticipates that the high visibility ', and proficiency of these motorcycle officers will curtail a large percentage of ' the traffic violations that are now ' occurring. Due to the continuous growth in the ' City's population, there is additional ' haffic on our roads. During peak hours ; the increase in traffic has brought our City ' closer to the possibility of a grid lock situation.

The motorcycles wiil enable officers to save imineasurable tiine ' and possibly liv�s because of their maneuverability througl-� traffic. ment workers with jobs related to the needs of an emergency is another im�or- tant aspect of disaster planning. In a major event such as an earthquake, virtu- ally every department in the city will be part of the emergency organization. Tasks will be given to each department to per- form. Many will be different than the day- to-day duties, while others will be very similar to normal operations. In a wide spread emergency that impacts a large geographical area, like an earthquake, our normal mutual aid assis- tance that we depend on day-to-day will not be available. Each jurisdiction will have its own problems to deal with. Many agencies and city departments will serve double duty, performing tasks that would otherwise be done by the county, volun- teer agencies or private industry. For example, Rancho Cucamonga's disaster plan calls for the Foothill Fire District to handle medical needs until the County can arrive which may be several days or, volunteer medical personnel can be organized. In the same vein, the Sheriff Department will assume the responsibil- ity of Deputy Coroner until the Coroner's representatives can arrive. It is important that our community share information on resources and make a plan to utilize all The City has ptuchased three Kawlsaki 1000 inotorcycles (one to be used as an alternate). Initially two deputies have been assigned full-time to this division. Their duties will consist of not only general patrol function, but will focus on traffic enforcenlent and i�nvestigation.

We cannot ask for outside help from the county or the state until we have depleted local resources. This is a veiy complex planning process. A great deal of informa- tion needs to be gathered and constantly updated. But, it must be done if we are to meet the emergencies we may face in the future. Rancho Cucamonga has begun its plan- ning and with the excellent cooperation we have received from the Fire Depart- ment, Sheriffs Department, school dis- tricts, utility companies, Red Cross, RACES and others in the community, we are looking forward to a successful effort in planning to make our community a safer place in which to live. ■ radar and will enable the officer to move through traffic-congested areas in an expedient manner.

Funded through Community Develop- ment Block Grants the City has two types of programs available: REPAIR LOANS ... Up to $15,000 in low-interest (6-8%) loans are available for repair and rehabilitation of owner- occupied homes. REPAIR GRANTS ... Up to $1,500 in grants of labor and materials are available to seniors, handicapped or disabled homeowners for minor repairs and improvements. To qualify for either the grant and/or loan program, federal income qualifications must be met. For example, the maximum income for a 1-person household would be $16,500; qualifying income for a 4-person household would be $23,050. Further information concerning both the grant and loan program can be obtained by contacting the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division at, (714) 989-1861. ■ PUBLIC SAFETY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Recycling It CAN be done In recent months the problem of what to do with our nation's refuse has become a topic for newspaper front pages and lead stories for the evening news broadcasts. Many of us have heard of the bargeload of New York City's refuse that could not find a home. Locally, our landfills are getting closer and closer to being filled. Sadly, recyclable materials account for nearly 60% of our waste. Recycling, the process where materials that can be reused, such as glass and aluminum, are separated from materials that cannot, can now be done by everyone. Earlier last year the State legislative passed the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act which now requires that the redemption value of a beverage container be paid to consumers from a recycling fund created Uy beverage distributors. Supermarkets are require� to post signs in their stores listing the lc�cation of the nearest recycling center. Please RECYCLE and do your part in taking that first step toward a long term solution to our refuse and environmental problems. ■ Be Careful in Crosswalks Paint offers little protection from speeding cars 70,000 pounds of energy hitting you. A grim and sobering thought. And yet, this is the potential danger a 2,000 pound car (in other words a small compact) going 35 miles per hour represents to pedestrians crossing the street. To many, crosswalks may appear to make things safer for pedestrians. But consider the following: • A three-year study by a southern Californian city showed that there were eight times as many pedestrian accidents at intersections with painted crosswalks as there were at intersections without them. • A five year study, also done in southern California, of 400 intersections showed six times as many accidents in marked crosswalks as compared to unmarked crosswalks. California law states that a crosswalk exists at all. intersections, unless crossings are prohibited by signs. Painted crosswalks primarily are designed to show pedestrians the safesf place to cross a street. Unfortunately, painted crosswalks give some pedestrians a false sense of security. Quite simply, two painted lines provide no protection against an oncoming car, especially a speeding car. In marked or unmarked crosswalks, the pedestrian has the right-of-way. Away from intersections where there are no crosswalks, the pedestrian must yield the right-of-way. In any situation, however, it is the responsibility of the pedestrian to wait for a break in traffic and recognize that vehicles may have difficulty coming to a stop when they are not expecting to see a pedestrian. Even at 35 miles per hour, it takes a car 100 feet to stop. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has an aggressive anti-speeding campaign. But the threat of the speeding driver at crosswalks will always be with us. Do BICENTENNIAL U.S. CONSTITUTIOIa1 Celebration Continues Poster and photo contest announced On September 17, 1988, we will mark the second of a four year celebration in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. In anticipation of this event residents of Rancho Cucamonga will have an opportunity to take part in the City's bicentennial celebration by participating in a poster and photography contest. Entries for the contest are being requested from all age groups in the community. With the recent celebration of the City's tenth birthday this is a unique opportunity for residents to portray some of the many changes that our community has experienced over the past few years. Winning entries will be incorporated into a professional slide show, to take place on September 17th, which will feature photos of the many faces of America. There will be saving bonds and cash awards for the winners. Use your imagination and artistic eye to create a winning entry! Entry forms will be available after April 1, 1988. For further information please contact, the Community Services Department at 989-1858. ■ / • \ �� / your part regardless of crosswalks. Look both ways when crossing the street and don't insist on the right-of-way -- it could be a costly mistake. ■ CHILD SAFETY Handling Emergencies What would your child do if ... Emergency situations, whether they are caused from injury or through an act of nature, e.g., 6re, flood, earthquake, occur suddenly and without warning. Everyone, including children, feels a degree of comfort knowing they would know what to do if an emergency situation were to occur. Children can, with proper instruction, learn iniHal steps to take in emergency situations that can assist others and perhaps even lessen the consequences of an injury or event. With this in mind, the City of Rancho Cucamonga, in conjunction with the Sheriff's Department and the Foothill Fire District, have developed a workshop for young children, ages 8 through 14, to learn through actual role playing what they can do when faced with various emergency situations. You may think your child does not need this program. Yet, WHAT WOULD YOUR CHILD DO [F . . . • their friend was choking? • their clothes caught on 6re? • their sister stuck scissors in an electric socket? • they were home alone and there was an earthquake? • they were walking home from school and a stranger approached them? • they got cut on a piece of glass and were bleeding? • they were baby-sitting and thought that the baby swallowed some pills? PUBLIC SAFETY Spring Fire Safety Tips Protect yourself, your family and your home Spring is finally here and now is the time to start thinking about cleaning up and fixing our homes and yards. IYs also a good time to start thinking about home 6re safety and about locating and correcting any potential 6re hazards. The Foothill Fire District offers the following preventive measures: • Frayed, cracked and damaged appliance cords are the most common sources of electrical fires. All cords should be checked periodically and, if damaged, immediately replaced. In addition, avoid using light weight extension cords as permanent wiring; rather use only multi-cord adapters that are equipped with built in breaker switches. • Practice "attentive cooking," as most kitchen fires are caused by unattended pots and pans overheating on the stove or towels and potholders left too close to stove burners. Remember to keep ovens, broilers and vents clean and grease free. • Since the garage is proUably the most I�azardous area of your property, 6re safety for this structure should be of primary concern. Gasoline should only be stored in approved safety cans and should only be dispensed outside a��ay from ignition sources, such as gas dryers and water heaters. All oily rags, particularly those soaked �vith linseed oil, should be stored in metal containers �vith tight 6tting lids. • Clean out overgrown weeds surrounding your yard and property. Remove any trash and rubbish near your home. Remember, a fire is less likely to get a start in a well kept and clean environment. • Above all, teach your fa�nily basic fire safety principals and prepare and practice often a plan for exiting your home in case of fire. The simple, common sense applicaHon of general fire safety rules can protect your property and save the lives of you and your family members. Take a moment to inspect your home and develop fire safety habits that you can follow throughout the year.

PROPERTY CARE Hazardous Weeds Abatefnent program planned Each Spring we are faced with the problem of overgrown weeds on bridal paths, parkways, roadsides, alleys, backyards, open fields, and residential properties. Since home owners are responsible for removing weeds from their own properties, the City of Rancho Cucamonga contracts with the San Bernardino County Agricultural Depart- ment to survey and norify all property owners of hazardous weeds on their premises. This year's survey will be completed by the end of March, 1988. First notices will be sent beginning the week of April 11, 1988. If the hazardous weeds are not removed by the date speci6ed in the noHce, then the County may contract to have the weeds removed at the property owner's expense (a minimum of 1 hour labor wil] be charged plus administrative fees). Should you have any questions regard- ing either the program or a weed abate- ment notice, please contact the County Weed Abatement Of6cer for this area, Mickey McDonald at 391-7521, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ■ R.G CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The 1988 Business Expo has been scheduled for Friday, May 20th and Saturday, May 21st. A theme and locaHon for this year's Expo has not yet been finalized but the Chamber is enthusiastic about exceeding last year's attendance figures. Local businesses will have the opportunity to display their products and services to each other and to the general public. Friday (between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.) has been set aside for the business community and on Saturday (between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.) the general public will have the opportunity to learn more about the Rancho Cucamonga business sector. Following last year's format, Expo 1988 will feature exhibits, entertainment, door prizes, food, and the opportunity to learn more about Rancho Cucamonga's business life. With the recent economic growth in our community this means that t e xpo is a great one-stop opportunity to 6nd out what local merchants have to offer us -- the consumer. Another service available to the R.C. consumer wishing to learn more not only about their own residential community but also their business community is the 1988 Business Directory. This booklet, published every two years, has recently been revised and updated and is now available from the Chamber of Commerce. It includes facts and figures on the demographics of Rancho Cucamonga as wel] as a complete listing of Chamber members. [n addition, the 1988 City map, produced by the Chamber every 18 months, is currently in production and is scheduled for release this summer. For. additional information regarding the 1988 Business Expo or other Chamber activities and services, please contact the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce at 987-1012. ■ Who Ya 1 c'�� / r�c�� r�nn nnnn nnnn � ��nnn Gonna Call??�� nr rr.n \ r.nnnor. , � r.-�nccn � � �=T� � City Hall 9320 Base Line Road, Suite 'C', Rancho Cucamonga ... 989-1851 MayodCity CounciUCity Manager/City Clerk Administrative Services, General Information . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-1851 Community Services Department . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-1858 Planning Division . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-186] Engineering Division . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-]862 Building and Safety Division . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-1863 Community Centers Lions Park 9161 Base Line Road, Rancho Cucamonga . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 980-3145 Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center (RCNC) 9791 Arrow Highway, Rancho Cucamonga . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 980-2634 Library Rancho Cucamonga Branch Library 9191 Base Line Road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 987-3107 Potice Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff StaHon 9333 Ninth Street, Rancho Cucamonga Emergency Calls Only . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9-7-] Business Calls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 989-6611 Fire Foothill Fire Protection District 6623 Amethyst Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga Emergency Calls Only . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9-1-1 R,�cinncc rallc of27_7S1S R.0 RESIDENTS TO CLEF.N UP Annual Clean Sweep Campaign Announced "Spic-and-spa�z" f� The annual R.C. "Ciean Sweep" cam- paign will be sponsored by the City and the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Com- merce. The week long anN-litter cam- paign, scheduled for April 3rd through April 9th, 1988, will emphasize litter awareness, control and clean up within the City. Beautification of Rancho Cucamonga is everyone's concern and residents are reminded that they too can play a major role in this year's program. While main- taining their own property is, of course, of primary concern, residents are encour- aged to do their share in keeping City parks and recreational facilities, commer- cial and residential properties, and public thoroughfares litter free. The week of April 3rd will be the perfect time for all residents to clean and fix-up their prop- erty and their City. As part of the annual Clean Sweep Program, residents will have the oppor- tunity to dispose of rubbish, garden clip- pings and other non-hazardous waste on Saturday, April 9th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Refuse deposit sites have not yet been finalized. However, as in past years, the Milliken Sanitary Landfill site (located at 11974 Milliken Avenue, Ontario) has indicated that Rancho Cucamonga resi- dents will be admitted to their site on Salurday, April 9th. (Please note: Proof of Rancho Cucamonga residency is required . ) A clean and pretty City benefits everyone, so please plan to parHcipate in the Clean Sweep Program — not only dur- ing the week of April the 3rd, but throughout the enHre year. Residents wishing additional informa- tion on this Program are encouraged to contact the City's AdministraHve Offices at 989-1851. ■ ♦ ♦ , Business Expo and Directory Your local businesses on display h E .l i � , i �� i . ; : .� .
