MOVING ALONG TO PUBLIC COMMENTS, CHERYL.

AT THIS TIME, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ANY ITEM APPEARING ON THE AGENDA EXCEPT THAT TESTIMONY ON PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS WHICH MUST BE PROVIDED DURING THOSE HEARINGS, THOSE PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL MUST COMPLETE AND SUBMIT TO THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK A REQUEST TO SPEAK CARD AVAILABLE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING OR HEARING NONE.

[ CONFLICT OF INTEREST / LEVINE ACT ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council Member abstentions or disclosures shall be stated at this time for recordation on the appropriate item.]

WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACT ANNOUNCEMENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBERS. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT?

[ CONSENT CALENDAR (14 ITEMS) - All matters listed on the Consent Calendar are considered routine by the City Council and may be enacted by one motion in the form listed below. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless, before the City Council votes on the motion to adopt, Members of the City Council or staff request the matter to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action. Removed consent items will be discussed immediately after the adoption of the balance of the Consent Calendar.]

ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO CITY BUSINESS.

[00:15:01]

WE HAVE A CONSENT CALENDAR, WHICH HAS, I BELIEVE, 14 ITEMS. ANYONE WISH TO PULL ANY OF THESE? PETER 16. 16 AND 19. OKAY.

PETER 16 AND 19. ANYONE ELSE? NO. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE REMAINDER, MR. MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. MOTION.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT. LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES. FIVE ZERO.

[16. Appropriate $252,800 from Special Maintenance Area 1 - Street Sweeping Fund and authorize execution of five-year maintenance services agreement with CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc., in amount not-to-exceed $2,591,100 to provide city-wide street sweeping services]

ITEM NUMBER 16 IS TO APPROPRIATE $252,800 FROM SPECIAL MAINTENANCE AREA ONE STREET SWEEPING FUND AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A FIVE YEAR MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE CITYWIDE STREET SWEEPING SERVICES.

SOMETIMES WE'LL PULL AN ITEM JUST FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE STREET SWEEPING.

BEN, WHY DO WE WHY ARE WE FUNDING STREET SWEEPING? WHAT'S THE POINT? I THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER ROGERS.

THE PRIMARY REASON THAT WE PROVIDE STREET SWEEPING IS TO PREVENT THE ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS THAT JUST HAPPENS THROUGH THE NORMAL OPERATIONS OF A STREET FROM GETTING INTO OUR STORM DRAIN SYSTEM. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENSURE THAT THAT DEBRIS DOESN'T GET INTO OUR WATERWAYS. AND SO WE DO THE STREET SWEEPING IN ORDER TO COLLECT THAT DEBRIS AND DISPOSE OF IT PROPERLY, RATHER THAN HAVING IT RUN THROUGH THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM.

I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE COMPLAIN.

WHY DO I HAVE TO MOVE MY CAR? ET CETERA. ET CETERA. BUT IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S MANDATORY THAT WE HAVE THIS.

WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO KEEP THE WATERWAYS CLEAN.

AND THIS IS ONE WAY THAT WE WE, WE ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO ANY NUMBER OF CONTAMINANTS IN THOSE SYSTEMS THROUGH OUR STORM DRAIN, JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS LIKE THE CONTRACT HAS GROWN APPRECIABLY AS FAR AS THE COST TO DO STREET SWEEPING.

THIS IS TRUE. THIS IS JUST MORE FOR INFORMATION SAKE, SO I'LL. I'LL MOVE THE ITEM.

I GOT A QUESTION. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. DID WE SIGN A CONTRACT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR STREET SWEEPING? WASN'T THIS VALLEY VISTA? DIDN'T WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM? WE DID. WE DID. AND HOW LONG WAS THAT AGREEMENT WITH VALLEY VISTA? DANIEL, WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL TERM FOR THAT AGREEMENT? WAS IT? WE EXECUTED A CONTRACT WITH VALLEY VISTA IN JUNE OF 2022, AND THAT WAS A FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT.

HOWEVER, VALLEY VISTA WAS THE GROUP THAT CAME TO US ASKING TO PULL OUT OF THE CONTRACT.

SO THEY GAVE US SOME TIME TO GO OUT AND SOLICIT NEW BIDS.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. OKAY.

WAS THERE AN ISSUE LIKE WITH MILEAGE? WAS THERE A PROBLEM OR CONCERN THAT THEY HAD? THEY HAD CONCERNS WITH THE MILEAGE. HOWEVER, WE WERE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT OUR MILEAGE WAS WAS ACCURATE.

WE DID GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE TO US THAT WE WERE WRONG.

HOWEVER, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT THAT INFORMATION.

THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION.

YOU HAVE A MOTION. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. LOCK IN THE VOTES ON ITEM 16.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ITEM 19 IS TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT ENHANCED FIRE RISK REDUCTION SERVICES AND

[19. Appropriate $217,300 from Open Space Management Fund and $148,000 from Oaks/Green Valley Fund to support enhanced fire risk reduction services, which includes $78,000 for tree trimming services performed by West Coast Arborists, $10,000 for biological monitoring by Leatherman BioConsulting, $27,300 for regulatory compliance for Santa Ana Watershed Association, and $250,000 for California Conservation Corps (CCC); find that exception to competitive bidding under Chino Hills Municipal Code Section 3.18.050.G applies to agreement with CCC because CCC is a governmental entity that provides cost-effective services while offering valuable skills development to young participants; authorize execution of Inter-Agency Sponsor Agreement with CCC and project agreement for fuel reduction, brush clearance and invasive species clearance in amount of $250,000; and find that proposed project is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act ]

ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR FUEL REDUCTION AND BRUSH CLEARANCE.

SAME TYPE OF APPROACH TO SOME QUESTIONING.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE RISK IN CHINO HILLS, AND WE'VE HAD SOME CHANGES AS FAR AS MAPS AND AND LEVELS OF HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW? I'M GOING TO ASK DANIEL BOBADILLA, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND CITY ENGINEER.

HE OVERSEES THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS EXECUTING THIS SO HE COULD GIVE US THE BEST RESPONSE.

THANKS, BEN. SO RECENTLY THE STATE ADOPTED A OR PREPARED A NEW FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY MAP AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ADOPTED BY CHINO VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT.

ALONG WITH THAT NEW FIRE MAP A LARGER PORTION OF THE CITY IS NOW UNDER A HIGH FIRE ZONE, WHICH MEANS THAT FROM A CITY STANDPOINT, WE HAVE NEW REQUIREMENTS.

WE HAVE TO MODIFY THE WAY WE MANAGE OUR VEGETATION A LOT MORE TREE TRIMMING, A LOT MORE LANDSCAPE, OR RAISING OUR CANOPY, TREE CANOPIES, REMOVAL OF DEAD TREES.

IT'S A LOT MORE WORK THAT IS NOW REQUIRED OF THE CITY TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT NEW ORDINANCE. SO TONIGHT'S ACTION WILL AUTHORIZE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN START BATTLING SOME OF THOSE, THOSE ISSUES WE DO HAVE FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WE WANT TO CARRY OUT.

SOME OF THEM ARE COMPLETING EXISTING PROJECTS,

[00:20:01]

ONE BEING CARBON CANYON CREEK.

A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WE DID START WITH THE KILL AND DRILL AND KILL OF PALM TREES.

WE STILL HAVE A FEW PALM TREES AND OTHER VEGETATION IN THE CREEK THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THERE'S MORNINGSIDE PARK IN THE NORTHERN, EXCUSE ME, THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE HIGH FIRE ZONE, BUT NOW IT IS. SO NOW WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND AND CLEAN OUT A DENSE PORTION OF THE PARK.

SO THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN FUTURE YEARS.

AND WE WILL COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL WHEN WHEN READY FOR THOSE ACTIONS.

RAY, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. DANIEL WITH THESE NEW FIRE MAPS, THERE'S LIKE THREE AREAS NOW HIGH, VERY HIGH, AND THEN WHATEVER DIFFERENT RANGES.

SO CHINO HILLS USED TO BE PROBABLY PRETTY CLOSE TO ABOUT MAYBE 18, 20% OF ALL OF CHINO HILLS.

THAT WAS CONSIDERED HIGH. NOW MOST OF THE CITY NOW IS EITHER IN HIGH OR VERY HIGH.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. AND IS THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY? IS THIS ACTUALLY DO WE NEED MORE MONEY? IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALL OUR OPEN SPACE AND THROUGHOUT THE CITY? NOT ALL OF IT. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER A, WE'LL CALL IT A PHASING PLAN.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE FIRE DISTRICT TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN BECOME OR BE IN COMPLIANCE. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO, TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO PUT A PHASING PLAN WHERE WITH WITHIN 3 TO 5 YEARS WE CAN BE IN COMPLIANCE, BUT THAT WILL TAKE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN THE FUTURE TO MAINTAIN ALL THAT VEGETATION. IT'S NOT JUST A ONE TIME DEAL.

WE CUT A TREE, WE TRIM A TREE.

THAT TREE IS GOING TO GROW BACK. WE GOT WE HAVE TO GO BACK EVERY SO OFTEN AND AND ABATE IT. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE WEED ABATEMENT THAT WE DO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE AS PART OF THIS NEW ORDINANCE.

WELL, I KNOW I, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS, AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY CITY IS THE OPEN SPACE THAT WE HAVE, ALL THE TREES WE HAVE, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

PLUS WE HAVE THE STATE PARK.

SO THE STATE PARK, I KNOW THERE WAS AN AUDIT DONE AT THE STATE PARK.

DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE BY ANY CHANCE? WITH THE AUDIT AND THE AUDIT, I WILL PUT THAT BACK TO BEN TO GIVE AN UPDATE.

SO THE CITY SOUGHT. I ACTUALLY KELLY CIERTO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US IMPRESS ON THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE STATE PARK MAINTAINS THE PROPERTY.

SPECIFICALLY FROM A FIRE RISK PERSPECTIVE.

THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE JLAC OR JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE, BUT THEY WORK WITH STATE AUDITORS IN ORDER TO EXECUTE THAT.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON THE TIMING AS OF YET, BUT WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH THE STATE PARK STAFF, AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL HEAR AT SOME POINT IN TIME WHAT THEIR FINDINGS ARE.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A TIME FRAME YET.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BEN, I APPRECIATE THAT. I WAS IN THE FIRE SERVICE TOTAL FOR ABOUT 35 YEARS.

PUBLIC SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I JUST WANT TO THANK PUBLIC WORKS, MY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY, THANKS.

I'M JUST FINISHING UP.

I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING SIMILAR EXCEPT MY LACK OF SERVICE IN THE FIRE SERVICE.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY. OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, OUR FIRE AND POLICE SERVICES, SOMETHING WE'VE ALWAYS SHOWN IN OUR VARIOUS TIMES ON THE CITY COUNCIL.

NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN TOWN IS SUFFICIENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE ROADS OR INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ALSO POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES.

SO WE'RE ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT OUR OUR TEAMS WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING HAVING TO DO THIS, INCLUDING FIRE AND FIRE, WE'VE SEEN THE DEVASTATION THAT TAKES PLACE.

WE'VE HAD OUR OUR SHARE OF FIRES AND TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AS BEST WE CAN HAVE AN AWESOME FIRE SERVICE, AND THEY'RE VERY PROACTIVE IN WHAT WE DO.

AND THIS IS PART OF IT.

AS THE CITY IS JUMPING IN TO, TO TAKE CARE OF MORE ISSUES OR AS MANY ISSUES AS WE CAN AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE PUSH THESE PROGRAMS AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO I'LL SECOND.

OKAY. OKAY. BEFORE WE TAKE OUR VOTE REAL QUICK, I JUST WANT BEN, YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING AT MY ONE ON ONE WITH YOU.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE HAVING TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE CANOPY.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEAVES ARE, ARE THE LIMBS THAT ARE HIGHER OFF THE GROUND.

WE ALSO ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO TAKE DOWN SOME CITY OWNED TREES AS A RESULT OF THIS.

WE WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT HAS TREES OUT NEAR YOUR BACKYARD OR WHATEVER.

IF THEY ARE A CITY OWNED TREE, YOU HAVE TO LET THE CITY KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT DO NOT BE CUTTING THEM DOWN YOURSELF.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE THE RIGHT TO CUT DOWN CITY OWNED TREES.

WE WILL BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HERITAGE TREES NOT HAVING TO REMOVE THOSE, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE AS A CITY WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THOSE TREES. SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT.

[00:25:01]

SO LET'S LOCK IN YOUR VOTE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE DISCUSSION CALENDAR.

CHERYL WILL INTRODUCE THE FOUR DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT WE HAVE AND WHO ON STAFF WILL BE GIVING A BRIEF REPORT BEFORE THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND MOTION.

OUR FIRST ITEM, NUMBER 22, IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE TO UPDATE THE

[22. Introduce Ordinance to update City’s discontinuation of Residential Water Service for Non-Payment Policy to ensure continued compliance under Senate Bill 998 entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Chino Hills Municipal Code Chapter 13.05 Utility Billing, Section 13.05.060 "Billing and Collection - Generally", Section 13.05.070 “Late Payment of Utility Bills”, Section 13.05.130 “Notices” and Section 13.05.140 “Discontinuance of Service” and Finding That This Ordinance is Exempt From Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waiving further reading and approve updates to Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual Section 4.3 - Discontinuation of Residential Water Service for Non-Payment]

CITY'S DISCONTINUATION OF RESIDENTIAL WATER SERVICE FOR NON PAYMENT POLICY TO ENSURE CONTINUED COMPLIANCE UNDER SENATE BILL 998.

FINANCE DIRECTOR TO PRESENT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

TONIGHT, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH PROPOSED UPDATES TO OUR UTILITY, BILLING POLICY AND RELATED SECTIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE.

TO GIVE SOME BACKGROUND, IN 2018, SENATE BILL 908 SET STATEWIDE RULES FOR RESIDENTIAL WATER SHUTOFFS.

THIS INCLUDED ADVANCE NOTICE PROTECTIONS FOR LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AND OPTIONS FOR PAYMENT PLANS. IN 2023, SENATE BILL THREE EXPANDED THOSE PROTECTIONS.

OUR STAFF HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED THESE PRACTICES, AND NOW WE'RE UPDATING OUR OFFICIAL POLICY AND MUNICIPAL CODE.

SO EVERYTHING IS CLEAR, CONSISTENT AND TRANSPARENT.

THE FIRST SET OF UPDATES IS RELATED TO SECTIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, CHAPTER 13.05 IN THE BILLING AND COLLECTION SECTION.

WE BETTER DEFINED WHEN A BILL IS CONSIDERED DELINQUENT IN THE LATE PAYMENT.

IN THE LATE PAYMENT OF UTILITY BILL SECTION, WE CLARIFIED THAT LATE PENALTIES WILL NOT BE CHARGED ON BANK HOLIDAYS.

IN THE NOTICES SECTION, WE REMOVED THE REFERENCE TO 21 DAYS TO PAY, SINCE NO NOTICE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TIME FRAME AND IN THE DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICE SECTION, WE CLARIFIED THAT WATER SERVICE WILL NOT BE DISCONTINUED ON A BANK HOLIDAY.

THE SECOND SET OF UPDATES IS TO OUR DISCONTINUATION OF RESIDENTIAL WATER SERVICE FOR NON PAYMENT POLICY.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN CHANGES.

FIRST, WE CLARIFIED THAT THE POLICY DOES NOT APPLY IF THE SHUTOFF IS CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED ACTIONS BY THE CUSTOMER.

SECOND, WE WILL NOW OFFER ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PLANS TO ALL CUSTOMERS WHO NEED THEM, NOT JUST THOSE WITH MEDICAL OR FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS.

AND THIRD, ANY ADULT LIVING AT THE PROPERTY, NOT JUST THE ACCOUNT HOLDER, CAN NOW FILE AN APPEAL.

IF APPROVED, THESE UPDATES ALONG WITH THE UPDATED POLICY, WILL TAKE EFFECT ON OCTOBER 23RD, 2025.

I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS ON THIS FOR CLARIFICATION? I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I JUST HAVE A QUICK REQUEST FOR KRISTA. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION, BUT CAN WE GET A LIST OF ALL THE CURRENT DELINQUENT COMMERCIAL WATER ACCOUNTS? I'M CURIOUS. I CAN GET YOU THAT LIST.

THAT'S AWESOME. WE HAVE, I KIND OF GET A LIST OF IF THEY HAVE A LARGER BALANCE. BUT I CAN GET THAT TO YOU.

THE COMMERCIAL IS NOT HOW MUCH WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS OF PEOPLE THAT COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS THAT OWE US FOR THEIR WATER RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. IT'S NOT AS COMMON AS THE RESIDENTIAL. OKAY, THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

THAT'S WHY I WAS. OKAY. GOOD TO HEAR. BUT YOU CAN STILL GIVE THAT TO US. THAT'D BE GREAT.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION. SECOND.

SECOND. LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES. FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, ITEM 23. ITEM 23 IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 12.4,

[23. Introduce Ordinance amending Section 12.48.020 which modifies signage language and size of lettering for Government Center overnight closure to be consistent with other City signage entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills Amending Section 12.48.020 of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and Finding the Same to be Exempt From the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waiving further reading]

8.020, WHICH MODIFIES SIGNAGE, LANGUAGE AND SIZE OF LETTERING FOR THE GOVERNMENT CENTER. OVERNIGHT CLOSURE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER CITY SIGNAGE.

ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HILL WILL PRESENT THIS ITEM.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. AS MENTIONED, THIS ORDINANCE WILL MODIFY THE SIGN LANGUAGE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED RELATED TO THE OVERNIGHT CLOSURE OF GOVERNMENT CENTER.

THE COUNCIL ORIGINALLY ADOPTED THE CLOSURE HOURS AND AN ORDINANCE IN DECEMBER 2024.

HOWEVER, AFTER THAT ADOPTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THE SIGN LANGUAGE AS ORIGINALLY REQUIRED IN THE ORDINANCE WAS TOO LENGTHY AND WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THE INSTALLATION OF NUMEROUS SIZE PROHIBITIVE SIGNS.

THOSE SIGNS WERE ESTIMATED AT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE FEET BY FIVE FEET, OR FOUR FEET BY SIX FEET. IT WAS. THEY WERE VERY LARGE SIGNS.

SO AFTER THAT, WE WORKED WITH THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY AND DRAFTED A NEW ORDINANCE WITH THE SAME CLOSURE TIMEFRAMES, THE SAME PARAMETERS, BUT WITH DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, SIGN LANGUAGE WITH MUCH LESS REQUIREMENTS ON THE SIGNAGE IN THAT ORDINANCE.

AND IT WILL ALLOW FOR SMALLER SIGNS OF APPROXIMATELY 18IN BY 24IN, WHICH ARE MORE COMMON AS YOU FIND AROUND THE GOVERNMENT CENTER.

AND THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OR CLARIFICATION? I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

LOCK IN YOUR VOTE. MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER 24.

[24. Introduce Ordinance establishing a comprehensive process for issuing and recording Notice of Violations that pertain to use and/or development of real property entitled: "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Adding Chapter 1.40 (Issuance and Recordation of Notices of Violation) to Title 1 of the Chino Hills Municipal Code" for first reading by title only and waiving further reading]

THIS ITEM IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS FOR ISSUING AND RECORDING NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS THAT PERTAIN TO USE AND OR DEVELOPMENT OF

[00:30:02]

REAL PROPERTY. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HILL TO PRESENT.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. THIS ITEM IS ESSENTIALLY RELATED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES AND IT ALLOWS THE ISSUANCE AND RECREATION OF NOTICES OF VIOLATION FOR PROPERTY RELATED MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATIONS. THERE ARE CERTAIN ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH REAL PROPERTY THAT CAN BE BOTH CHALLENGING AND TIME CONSUMING, AND THE USE OF A NOTICE OF VIOLATION PROCESS CAN BE A VALUABLE TOOL IN ENSURING ABATEMENT AND CORRECTIONS OF SOME PROPERTY RELATED VIOLATIONS. THIS NOTICE WOULD TYPICALLY NOT BE USED FOR IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES, THOUGH THOSE ITEMS WOULD TAKE A DIFFERENT PROCESS, DIFFERENT ABATEMENT PROCESS THROUGH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THIS NOTICE VIOLATION WOULD BE RECORDED AGAINST THE PROPERTY THROUGH THE COUNTY RECORDER, AND WOULD PROVIDE NOTICE TO THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER OF AN OUTSTANDING MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATION.

WITH THE INTENT OF ENCOURAGING COMPLIANCE, THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPEAL A VIOLATION THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT HEARING OFFICER PRIOR TO THE RECORDING, AND ANY RECORDED NOTICE OF VIOLATION WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY ONCE THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. BOTH MYSELF AND THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. POINT OF CLARIFICATION WOULD YOU EXPLAIN AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF PROPERTY VALUATION WOULD THAT BE BETTER NOTICE OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

THE TYPE OF VIOLATION THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS CHANGE? SURE. THERE MIGHT BE A STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, BUT PERHAPS THE THERE.

SOMETIMES WE GET STUCK WHEN THE HOMEOWNER IS MAYBE TOO INFIRM TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

SO. AND IT'S NOT IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND SAFETY, BUT IT IS A VIOLATION OF SETBACK LAW.

SO THEN THIS MIGHT BE RECORDED ON THE PROPERTY SO THAT THE SUBSEQUENT OWNER KNOWS THAT IT'S OUT OF VIOLATION, AND HOPEFULLY IT CAN BE FIXED WHEN THE PROPERTY EVENTUALLY CHANGES HANDS.

OKAY. COULD THIS BE ITEMS LIKE UNAUTHORIZED BUILDING OR INTRUSION INTO SETBACK AREAS, INTRUSION INTO SETBACK FOR BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. THOSE WOULD BE HANDLED THROUGH A DIFFERENT PROCEDURE, THROUGH THE BUILDING CODE. BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THAT PROCEDURES THOSE PROCEDURES ON THE BOOK.

BUT THIS WE DID NOT HAVE FOR A LONG TIME.

THIS WASN'T, WELL, FIRST FOR A TIME BACK, THIS WASN'T ALLOWED.

BUT THIS THERE'S NOW A STATUTORY AUTHORITY THAT ALLOWS CITIES TO DO THIS.

SO WE'RE BRINGING THIS IN.

OKAY. ANOTHER RIGHT QUESTION.

YES. THANK YOU. WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THE PERSON'S NAME BECAUSE SHE CALLED ME A DUMB MAN.

BUT WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY IS THAT THIS IS GOING TO HELP US OUT.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE, WE'LL SAY ENCROACHMENT A POOL.

IN ADDITION, IN ORDER FOR YOU TO CLEAR TITLE, THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED, WHICH MEANS YOU CANNOT SELL THE PROPERTY AND CLOSE IT UNTIL THIS IS REMEDIED.

IS THAT CORRECT? NOT EXACTLY.

IT WILL BE ON TITLE, SO THE OWNER WILL BE NOTIFIED.

GENERALLY THEY DO WANT TO CLEAR TITLE.

CLEAR THIS BEFORE THEY'LL ISSUE TITLE INSURANCE.

TITLE COMPANY WILL CLEAR IT. RIGHT.

SO IT WILL. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THIS LAW REQUIRES IT TO BE CLEARED, BUT IT WILL. AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE, THE TITLE COMPANY TO ISSUE TITLE INSURANCE WILL ALMOST ALWAYS ASK FOR IT TO BE CLEARED.

AND ALSO LENDERS, LENDERS WILL REQUIRE CLEAR TITLE.

YEAH. SO I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING IT.

IT'S IMPORTANT. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? NO. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM. ALL RIGHT. MOTION AND A SECOND LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 2525 IS TO REVIEW AND FILE AN UPDATE TO THE CITY HALL.

[25. Review and file update to City Hall Fire Emergency Declaration in accordance with Public Construction Code 22050 and continue to authorize City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary agreements related to repair and restoration of City Hall under Chino Hills Municipal Code 2.08.065.A.1. on an emergency basis and determine by four-fifths vote the need to continue existence of local emergency for City Hall Fire pursuant to Public Construction Code Section 22050 until action is terminated]

FIRE EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE REPAIR AND DETERMINED BY 4/5 VOTE.

THE NEED TO CONTINUE THE EXISTENCE OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY FOR THE CITY HALL FIRE.

OKAY. I'M SORRY. CITY MANAGER MONTGOMERY WILL PRESENT.

THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE THE FIRE DAMAGE. IS THAT CORRECT? EXACTLY.

PART OF THE PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING A LOCAL EMERGENCY.

AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY THAT THE COUNCIL GAVE TO ME AS THE CITY MANAGER IN ORDER TO SPEED UP THE RESTORATION OF THE CITY HALL, WE HAVE TO BRING THIS BACK TO EVERY REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, TO SHARE THE PROGRESS, AND TO ESTABLISH WHETHER OR NOT WE STILL NEED ALL OF THOSE. LET'S CALL THEM EXTENSIONS OF AUTHORITY TO GIVE THE PUBLIC HERE, BECAUSE I'M FINDING MORE AND MORE.

NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE CITY HALL EXPERIENCED A FIRE ON JUNE 23RD.

THE FIRE CAUSED SMOKE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.

ALSO, WE HAD EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE AND SINCE THAT TIME, OVER THE LAST 11 WEEKS FROM THEN TO NOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO RESTORE THE CITY HALL.

WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY RECONSTRUCTED ALL OF THE DAMAGE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

STAFF THAT WORK ON THAT FLOOR AND IN THOSE AREAS HAVE RETURNED TO CITY HALL FROM THE

[00:35:01]

TEMPORARY WORK AREAS. BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WHICH EXPERIENCE MORE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE OUR STAFF BACK IN THE BUILDING AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, THE CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE AUTHORITY, TO MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD.

THERE IS A INDEPENDENT OR AT LEAST INDEPENDENT FROM THE CITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY CLAIM ADJUSTER THAT REVIEWS THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN A QUICK TURNAROUND, BUT WE STILL HAVE QUITE A BIT TO GO.

AND SO FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER CONTINUING THE THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD.

AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE HAVE THAT WE'D LIKE YOU TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WE CAN DO UNDER CITY MANAGER'S UPDATES.

IS THAT OKAY? SURE. I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE COUNCIL WELL INFORMED, AND THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE QUESTIONS CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT TO THE CITY AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MOTION.

GOT A BASEBALL GAME. MOTION.

HOW ABOUT A SECOND? I'LL DO A SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, THAT COMPLETES THE DISCUSSION. CALENDAR ITEMS. WE NOW HAVE AN ITEM INITIATED

[26. Designate Voting Delegate and Alternate for Cal Cities Annual Conference scheduled for October 8 through 10, 2025, in Long Beach, California]

BY CITY COUNCIL. CHERYL, WOULD YOU READ THAT INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE? THIS ITEM IS TO DESIGNATE A VOTING DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE FOR THE CAL CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE, SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 8TH THROUGH THE 10TH, 2025 IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA. OKAY. CAN I NOMINATE MISTER MARQUEZ? I WAS GOING TO NOMINATE MRS. MORAN. AND I WILL BE THERE.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO SECOND THE MOTION ON RAY MARQUEZ AND I'LL THIRD IT.

SO HE'S GOING TO BE THERE. MAYOR BENNETT.

OH, I'M UNDID IT. I'M SORRY.

THERE YOU GO. MOTION PASSES FOUR ONE WITH MARQUEZ VOTING NO.

YEAH. IS THAT THE FORMAL VOTE OR ARE WE FIVE ZERO.

EVERYBODY ALWAYS SAYS WE VOTE THE SAME.

SO THIS IS. GOT IT GOING.

HE'S DOING IT FOR THE STATS. IT'S FOR THE STATS. FINAL ACT OF DEFIANCE.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER 27.

[27. Site Plan Review No. SPR-0001-2025 and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP-0001-2025 - Hills View Pleasant Living Assisted Living Facility located at 2549 Madrugada Drive, Michael Frazier, applicant on behalf of Niaz Khalid, property owner: The Planning Commission adopted resolution approving Site Plan Review No. SPR-0001-2025 and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP-0001-2025 for the addition of a 13,180-square-feet, to existing 14,612 square-foot main building, permitting the operation of assisted living facility and determining project is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act, subject to Conditions of Approval, as amended]

NOW WE'RE GOING INTO PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS. ANYONE WISH TO DO OR PULL OR SAY ANYTHING ABOUT 27? NO. ALL RIGHT. NOT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS VETTED PRETTY, PRETTY NICELY BY PLANNING COMMISSION.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS OR NON AGENDIZED

[28. PUBLIC COMMENTS: At this time, members of the public may address the City Council regarding any items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council that do not appear on the agenda.

ITEMS. CHERYL WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ INTO THAT.

WHAT THAT COVERS AT THIS TIME.

PUBLIC THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ANY ITEMS WITHIN THE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OF THE COUNCIL THAT DO NOT APPEAR ON THE AGENDA.

PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT TO THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK A REQUEST TO SPEAK CARD.

AT THIS TIME WE HAVE FOR SPEAKER CARDS WHICH WOULD ALLOW THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER.

ALL RIGHT. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS DOUG MCALLISTER.

MR. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME FOR THIS EVENING. MY NAME IS DOUG MCALLISTER.

I'M VICE PRESIDENT OF FOR FOR FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS.

AND I'M HERE TO FIRST OF ALL, JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR.

BEFORE I GET INTO WHY I'M HERE, I WANT TO JUST GIVE SOME KUDOS TO YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT EVERYTHING I'M ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT THEY'VE BEEN VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE OF. AND I'M HERE TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT IT.

IT IS THE COPPER THEFT THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW.

IT IS ACROSS THE NATION.

IT'S IT'S EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

IT'S THE WORST. RIVERSIDE COUNTY ALONE HAS BEEN HIT OVER 100 TIMES JUST SINCE JANUARY.

YOU'VE BEEN HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK IT'S BEEN SIX TIMES SINCE JULY, I BELIEVE. AND EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, WHAT IT IS, IS FOR FOLKS WHO DON'T KNOW, THERE WILL BE THIEVES THAT WILL COME IN, THEY'LL CUT DOWN THE POLES, THEY'LL CUT DOWN THE COPPER. AND AS COPPER BECOMES MORE AND MORE VALUABLE, WE SEE MORE AND MORE OF THIS HAPPENING.

AND IT'S A LOW HANGING FRUIT, IF YOU WILL, CRIME.

IT'S ALSO HARD TO POLICE BECAUSE IT IS TYPICALLY IN PLACES WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CARS AT THE TIME OR OR REMOTE AREAS.

AND SO ONCE AGAIN, ON BEHALF OF FRONTIER, AS OUR VICE PRESIDENT,

[00:40:01]

I WANT TO THANK YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT SOME GREAT ATTENTION TO THIS.

AND I THINK THEY'VE DONE THEIR BEST THEY CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TO HELP US DEAL WITH THIS THING. BUT EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, IT TAKES DOWN 911.

IT TAKES DOWN THE FIRST RESPONDER SYSTEMS. IT TAKES DOWN OUR THE CELL SITES.

IT TAKES DOWN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. IT TAKES DOWN HOMES, RESIDENTIAL SERVICES, HOSPITALS.

WE'VE HAD MILITARY BASES GO DOWN.

IN KEEPING WITH YOUR PROCLAMATION THIS THIS EVENING FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS THIS IS WHAT I WOULD CALL THE HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUE.

AND SO IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND A SOLUTION FOR IT.

MY REASON FOR BEING HERE IS BASICALLY JUST TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR IT.

IF WE HAVE CUSTOMERS IN YOUR TOWN AND SOMETIMES WHEN THEY HAVE GONE OUT, HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD WHY, AND 99% OF THE TIME IT'S BECAUSE OF THESE CABLE THEFTS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON.

AND SO I WOULD INVITE THE CITY, CITY MANAGER'S DEPARTMENT, WHOEVER ANYTIME THIS KIND OF HAPPENS, JUST FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME DIRECTLY.

I'LL LEAVE A CARD HERE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION.

BUT ALSO TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WE ARE OFFERING ALL OF THE CARRIERS AND EVERYONE WHO HAS USES COPPER HAVE REWARDS, AND FRONTIER IS OFFERING A $15,000 REWARD FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT LEADS TO THE ARREST AND, AND CONVICTION OF FOLKS WHO ARE WHO ARE DOING THIS.

IT IS A CRIME OF OPPORTUNITY.

IN MY BOOK, BUT IT IS ONE THAT HAS HORRIFIC EFFECTS.

IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO CALL 911 BECAUSE YOU FAIL AND YOU CAN'T GIVE UP AND YOU WON'T GET 911 BECAUSE THEY CUT DOWN THE WIRES.

THAT IS A THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE.

SO I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, MY PARTNER WITH YOUR CITY AS WELL.

SO WE CAN FIND A SOLUTION FOR IT.

AND IF WE CAN FIND ONE THAT WORKS FOR HERE, MAYBE WE'LL FIND ONE THAT WORKS FOR THE REST OF THE NATION AS WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU SIR. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS TIM BOWMAN.

GOOD EVENING. I'M TIM BOWMAN.

FAIRFIELD RANCH HOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TRASH PICKUP SCHEDULE WAS GOING TO CHANGE FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY.

IT'S SUGGESTED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THURSDAY IS OUR TRASH STREET SWEEPER.

SO IF THAT WERE TO COME TO PASS, WE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE OUR STREET SWEEPER SCHEDULE OR EVEN STREET SWEEPER.

IF THEY CAN'T ACCOMMODATE US AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE ALL THE SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY TO REFLECT THE NEW STREET SWEEP DAY.

SO JUST MAKE YOU AWARE THAT THE COUNCIL THAT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT MOVING THE STREETS, THE TRASH PICKUP FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY WON'T WORK OUT FOR US MONDAY OR TUESDAY WOULD WORK FINE.

WEDNESDAY. IF THERE'S A HOLIDAY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK, WE'LL PUSH IT TO THURSDAY. MIGHT CREATE AN ISSUE TOO.

SO IF YOU IF THEY NEED TO CHANGE IT MONDAY, TUESDAY WOULD BEST.

FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. TYPICALLY WE DON'T COMMENT ON THESE THESE COMMENTS.

BUT IS THERE SOME WAY DO WE HAVE ANY ONE THAT HE CAN TALK TO AND CAN WE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I ASK HIM TO JUST SHARE HIS CONTACT INFORMATION WITH OUR OFFICE AND WE'LL REACH OUT. I ANTICIPATE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THE COUNCIL WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT A PROPOSED CHANGE TO TRASH PICKUP SCHEDULES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU GET THAT YOUR ISSUE IS GOING TO BE HAVE OUR ATTENTION AND WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT AS BEST WE CAN.

ALL RIGHT. THIRD ITEM OR THIRD PERSON? NEXT SPEAKER IS JIM GALLAGHER.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL STAFF AND FELLOW RESIDENTS. FIRST, I JUST WANT TO SAY, HEY, CONGRATULATIONS TO US 175 YEAR STATEHOOD. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF.

LET'S HOPE WE THRIVE FOR 175 MORE YEARS.

I COME TONIGHT WITH A CONCERN I USUALLY DO.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAID ON THE CHINO HILLS CAR WASH ON PIPELINE AVENUE THAT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 4TH.

IN FACT, IF IT WASN'T FOR OUR VERY OWN REPORTER FROM THE CHAMPION, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT. MOST OF YOU THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF IT WAS THERE WERE FIVE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE TAKEN AWAY BY MEN IN MASKS, IN UNMARKED CARS. ACCORDING TO THE MANAGER THREE OF THEM WERE BEING DETAINED AT THE SANTA ANA DETENTION CENTER.

MAYBE THEY'RE OUT BY NOW.

AND THE FAMILIES OF THE OTHER TWO EMPLOYEES DID NOT EVEN HEAR FROM THEM AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE THEY WERE. SO I AM KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THESE ONGOING RAIDS.

THEY ARE NOW COMING HERE TO CHINO HILLS.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW, AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T ANSWER THIS.

MR. MAYOR, HAVE YOU REACHED OUT TO THE OWNER OF THAT CAR WASH? I THINK THIS DISRUPTION IN BUSINESS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE SHOULD ALL TAKE A LOOK. IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC.

SAME THING, CAPTAIN GERARD, ARE WE AWARE OF OTHER ACTIVITY? DO WE KEEP AN EYE ON IT?

[00:45:01]

I KNOW WE CAN'T INTERFERE, BUT I DO THINK THAT AS A CITY, WE STILL WANT TO KEEP THIS CITY TO BE SOMEPLACE THAT WE'RE PROUD OF.

NOT A CITY WHERE PEOPLE JUST COME IN AND RAID AND ARREST OUR OUR RESIDENTS OR WORKERS AND TAKE THEM AWAY. SO THANK YOU AND THANKS FOR REACHING OUT, I APPRECIATE THAT. ALL RIGHT.

OUR FINAL SPEAKER IS BOBBY PATEL.

HELLO. SOUNDS GOOD. GOOD.

HEY, I'VE SPOKEN TO A FEW OF YOU ABOUT A A WATER BILL ISSUE AT THE WOODVIEW PLAZA.

THIS THING'S COMING AROUND.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST READ THE PUBLIC COMMENT LETTER I WROTE? I DIDN'T REALLY WRITE A CHAT.

GPT WROTE IT. I CAN'T WRITE THIS WELL.

OH, WELL, I'LL JUST YEAH, I CAN START.

RIGHT NOW, THE CENTER IS BEING SERVED BY ONE MASTER METER AND IT'S IN OUR OR MY PARCELS NAME, THE AMANDA INC PARCEL.

THE METER IS NOT ON AMANDA INC'S LAND.

AND I PUT IN HERE. I PUT AN EMAIL THREAD FROM ME AND BEN ABOUT THE CITY'S POSITION ON IT AND WHERE I. WE KIND OF LEFT IT AND I DIDN'T WANT TO COME UP HERE OUT OF TURN, BUT IT'S KIND OF TAKEN A WHILE.

SO RIGHT NOW THE THE WAY IT IS, IT'S LIKE THE CITY SAYS TO ME THAT WE CAN'T BILL YOU BY YOUR PARCEL BECAUSE WE CAN'T PHYSICALLY WE DON'T PHYSICALLY SERVE YOUR ADDRESS. BUT CURRENTLY THE PARCEL IS BEING BILLED BY MY ADDRESS, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE LIKE THE METER AND EVERYTHING'S ON SOMEONE ELSE'S.

SO I'M ASKING THE CITY TO, I GUESS, LOOK INTO IT.

OR MAYBE I, I REALLY THINK THAT THE BILL SHOULD BE IN THAT GUY'S NAME.

SO I LIKE THE CITY TO DO THAT, OR AT LEAST GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHY IT'S NOT. AND YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GIST OF IT.

ALSO, I NOTICED THAT THE CITY'S WATER RATE STUDY IS VERY OUTDATED.

IT'S OVER FIVE YEARS OLD.

GIVEN THE COSTS OF THINGS SINCE THEN, I THINK, I THINK THE CITY IS PROBABLY UNDERTAKING IN WATER CHARGES BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THIS CENTER. I'VE ATTACHED A SHEET ON THE VERY END.

THE CITY CONDUCTED A EDU COUNT OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS SHOPPING CENTER THAT WE'RE LOCATED IN HAS AN EDU COUNT OF 80 ALREADY THE METER SIZE IS EIGHT INCH, AND ACCORDING TO THE WATER RATE STUDY, AN EIGHT INCH METER IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT CAPACITY AT 80 EDU.

SINCE THAT STUDY WAS. SINCE THAT COUNT WAS DONE, TWO MORE RESTAURANTS HAVE COME IN, AND THE BOWLING ALLEY, WHICH I'M A PART OF, IS PLANNING TO PUT A BREWERY IN.

SO I WOULD IMAGINE THE EDU AT THAT PARTICULAR SITE IS GOING TO BE WELL ABOVE 80.

IF IT ISN'T ALREADY. SO THE CITY IS UNDERCHARGING PROBABLY SEVERAL PROPERTIES ACROSS THE BOARD THAT ARE DOING THIS.

JUST AS A SIDE THING, I NOTICED.

THAT'S IT. OKAY. THANK YOU BOBBY.

I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT I WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO THAT CENTER TO CREATE THE CHAPARRAL 300.

AND, MIKE, I APPRECIATE YOUR FAMILY COMMITMENT TO DEVELOP THAT SHOPPING CENTER.

HELP THAT SHOPPING CENTER OUT. BUT AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, THERE'S BEEN ISSUES WITH THAT WATER METER AND BILLING FOR YEARS NOW.

AND ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS IT WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND WORK ON SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO WITHIN THE PROVISIONS OF EXISTING CODE AND LAW THAT CAN POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST AT LEAST CONFIRM THAT AND LET YOU KNOW SO THAT THE OTHER MEMBERS MIGHT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING AND BRINGING IT BACK TO OUR ATTENTION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

THAT IS OUR FINAL SPEAKER.

[ SAFETY UPDATES - Fire and Police]

ALL RIGHT. SAFETY UPDATES.

WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST? CHIEF WILLIAMS? I ONLY HAVE REALLY ONE THING THAT I WANTED TO REALLY TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO THANK THE CITY STAFF.

WE HAD A MEETING, OUR FIRST KICKOFF MEETING FOR OUR STATION 68 TODAY.

I THINK THERE MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT MAYBE 20 PEOPLE THERE.

I'D SAY AT LEAST 5 OR 6 OR SO WERE FROM THE CITY.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED.

WE'RE MOVING ALONG AND WE GOT A LOT OF THE PARAMETERS OUTLINED TODAY.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO WITH STILL OBTAINING SOME SOME TYPES OF PERMITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME HEAVY EQUIPMENT OUT THERE.

AND HOPEFULLY OVER THE WEEKEND WE'LL GET A, A FENCING PUT UP THERE TO, TO REALLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE'S A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THERE. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

[00:50:01]

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT, CHIEF, DIDN'T WE HAVE A BRUSH FIRE OR SOMETHING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO US TODAY WITH WHAT'S THE STATUS ON THAT? WE DID. IT WAS IT WAS KEPT TO ABOUT FIVE ACRES.

IT WAS RIGHT IN ABOUT THE SAME AREA AS THE ONE WE HAD SEVERAL WEEKS BACK.

IT WAS OFF THE 71 AREA, THE BASIN.

YEAH. THE DIFFERENCE FOR THIS ONE IS, IS THAT THERE WAS NONE OF IT WAS IN CHINO HILLS PROPERTY. IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH I WOULD EITHER REFERENCE EITHER CALL IT THE NORTH SIDE OR THE EAST SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AND IT WAS IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY'S AREA. CRUISE, JUST LIKE LAST TIME, DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAD A LITTLE MORE HELP FROM THE WEATHER TODAY. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE OVERALL FIRE TO ABOUT FIVE ACRES AND GET IT KNOCKED DOWN.

I THINK WE HAD ABOUT THREE HOURS OF WORK OUT THERE AND WE WERE DONE.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO YOUR ENTIRE STAFF FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE IN KNOCKING THAT DOWN. APPRECIATE IT. CHIEF GERARD, THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF AND RESIDENTS IN ATTENDANCE. ON AUGUST 30TH, 2025, THE CHINO HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED A DUI ENFORCEMENT OPERATION.

DURING THE OPERATION, DEPUTIES CONDUCTED 21 TRAFFIC STOPS, RESULTING IN ONE ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, TEN CITATIONS FOR SPEED VIOLATIONS AND ONE FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE.

THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DUI ENFORCEMENT OPERATION ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2025 FROM 6 P.M. TO 2 A.M..

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REMINDS THE PUBLIC THAT IMPAIRED DRIVING IS NOT JUST FROM ALCOHOL.

SOME PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS MAY INTERFERE WITH DRIVING. ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND READ WARNING LABELS ABOUT DRIVING.

ALSO, WHILE MEDICINAL AND RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA ARE LEGAL, DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MARIJUANA IS STILL ILLEGAL.

DRIVERS CAUGHT DRIVING, IMPAIRED AND CHARGED WITH A FIRST TIME DUI FACE AN AVERAGE OF $13,500 IN FINES AND PENALTIES, AS WELL AS A SUSPENDED LICENSE.

THESE OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED TO INCREASE SAFETY IN THE CITY AND ARE FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY THROUGH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT THIS EVENING.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF? ALL RIGHT.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG. CITY MANAGER UPDATES.

[ CITY MANAGER UPDATES]

NOTHING TO ADD TONIGHT, MAYOR. THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL REPORTS.

[ COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Bennett Chino Valley Unified School District Board Vice Mayor Johsz Legislative Advocacy Committee Omnitrans Board West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District Board Council Member Marquez San Bernardino County Transportation Authority General Policy Committee Legislative Policy Committee Metro Valley Study Session Transit Committee Council Member Rogers Animal Resource Center Joint Powers Authority Board Chino Basin Desalter Authority Board]

I'M FIRST ON HERE. CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AWARE THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME THINGS GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, JOHN MONROE, WHO WAS ONE OF THE BOARD TRUSTEES FOR AREA FOUR, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE AREA WHERE I LIVE IN ACTUALLY RESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE FACT HE MOVED OUT OF STATE TO UTAH.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS WHICH CULMINATED LAST NIGHT IN A INTERVIEW PROCESS.

SEVEN PEOPLE HAD APPLIED BY THE END OF AUGUST FOR THE APPOINTMENT TO THAT UNEXPIRED TERM, WHICH GOES UNTIL NEXT ELECTION IN 2026.

THERE WERE SEVEN APPLICANTS BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE HEARING LAST NIGHT, THREE OF THE SEVEN APPLICANTS DROPPED OR WITHDREW THEIR APPLICATION.

SO THERE WAS A VERY, VERY LIVELY DISCUSSION THAT WENT ON LAST NIGHT.

ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR SEE IT, YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT ON THE BOARD SITE.

AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A NEW BOARD TRUSTEE FOR AREA FOUR APPOINTED LAST NIGHT.

SHAUN SMITH. THAT'S SHAUN SMITH.

I CAN TELL YOU I DIDN'T I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, BUT HE WAS IN, SWORN IN AND INSTALLED ON THE DAIS LAST NIGHT AND BECAUSE JOHN MONROE WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT AND WAS INVOLVED WITH A COUPLE DIFFERENT COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS, THEY WENT AHEAD AND MADE CHANGES TO THAT.

JOHN CERVANTES WAS MADE THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.

AND THERE WAS A COUPLE OTHER ASSIGNMENTS MADE THAT NIGHT.

WE WON'T GO INTO ALL THAT TONIGHT, BUT AT ANY RATE, THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF.

AND THAT'S THE END OF MY REPORT.

SO MOVING ON TO VICE MAYOR JONES.

ALL RIGHT, FOR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, PETER AND I ARE ON THAT COMMITTEE.

SO PETER, CHIME IN AS WELL IF YOU FEEL THE NEED.

WE HAD AN UPDATE FROM OUR STATE, OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LOBBYIST, FEDERAL FUNDING FOR OUR EARMARKS SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO BE GOING WELL.

SO THANKFULLY, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN D.C., WE'LL HOPEFULLY GET MORE FUNDING FOR LOS SERRANOS AND FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR US.

AND THEN THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE STATE LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR, SO ALL STATE BILLS NEED TO BE PASSED THROUGH COMMITTEE AND WHATNOT BY FRIDAY.

SO WE GOT AN UPDATE ON THAT FROM OUR LOBBYIST AND THEN MOVING TO OMNITRANS.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. NO. COME ON.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT WITH THE REDISTRICTING AND HOW WILL THAT AFFECT PROP 50? PROP 50 IS THE NEW REDISTRICTING MEASURE THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS PUT INTO PLACE.

[00:55:02]

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS UNDER THE CURRENT DRAWN MAPS, WE WILL NO LONGER BE WELL, WE WILL NO LONGER SHARE A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT WITH PART OF ORANGE COUNTY.

IT WOULD BE CHINO, CHINO HILLS, ONTARIO, CORONA UP INTO CLAREMONT AND THEN OUT ALL THE WAY TO BLOOMINGTON.

SO IT WILL BE A WHOLE NEW DISTRICT FOR US.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHERE IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.

IT'LL BE A SPECIAL, IT'S A SPECIAL BALLOT MEASURE FOR THIS NOVEMBER, I THINK NOVEMBER 4TH. SO STAY TUNED.

YAY! YOU GOT IT. AND SO FOR OMNITRANS.

BOARD HAD AN UPDATE. WE HAVE NEW HIGH SPEED BUS ROUTES COMING IN ONTARIO.

I THINK DAN HOLT. SO THAT'LL HELP TO DO SOME CONNECTIVITY TO LA COUNTY AND THEN FOR WEST VALLEY MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL.

NOTHING REALLY NEW TO REPORT.

YOU KNOW, NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS WHEN IT COMES TO BUGS AND RATS.

SO. SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I ATTENDED THE SBCTA A COUPLE MEETINGS.

GENERAL POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING.

WE APPROVED THE CLIMATE POLLUTION GRANT PROGRAM.

WE REVIEWED AND APPROVED SENATE BILL ONE CYCLE, FIVE CANDIDATE PROJECTS.

WE AWARDED CONTRACT FOR SAN BERNARDINO COG, FIVE YEAR WORK PLAN OR POLICY COMMITTEE.

WE MET AND WE GOT UPDATES ON STATE AND FEDERAL UPDATES.

TRANSIT COMMITTEE. FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026.

OPERATOR ALLOCATION. AND THEN ALSO THE OMNITRANS BUDGET APPROVED REVIEW GOAL LINE TO MONTCLAIR PROJECT COSTS.

METRO VALLEY REQUEST UPDATES THROUGH 2025 PROJECTS.

WE HAD TWO AD HOC COMMITTEES FOR THE GOAL LINE.

WE MET ON AUGUST 18TH AND SEPTEMBER.

SEPTEMBER THE 2ND WE WENT OVER THE COST SAFETY CONCERNS AND CHANGE ORDERS.

BOARD MEETING. WE APPROVED THE TRADE CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.

WE WENT OVER THE PROJECT UPDATES.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FOR THE WEST VALLEY CONNECTOR AMENDMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR OPERATIONS, AND THEN GO LINE TO MONTCLAIR.

WE ACTUALLY HAD A VOTE AT THE BOARD MEETING AND WE DENIED IT.

SO IT'S NOT MOVING FORWARD TO MONTCLAIR.

SCAG HAD A COUPLE MEETINGS.

EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION MEETING.

WE DID A CLEAR PROCLAMATION.

WE HAD A BUDGET REVIEW COMMITTEE.

WE ACTUALLY HAD UPDATED STATE, STATE AND FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.

WE APPROVED THE 2024 SOLUTION CONGESTION CORRIDOR PROGRAM.

GRANTS AND THEN GUIDELINE FOR THE 2027 FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

AND THEN THE REGIONAL COUNCIL.

WE HAD A PRESENTATION FROM LA 2024 OLYMPICS AND PARALYMPICS.

I GUESS THE CITY OF MONT NOT MONTE VISTA.

WHAT IS IT? DOWN SOUTH.

THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO BE A HOST CITY DOWN SOUTH, MISSION VIEJO, MISSION VIEJO. THERE WE GO. AND THEN ALSO CULVER CITY.

SO AGAIN, I HAD SOME INFORMATION.

I SHARED THAT WITH BEN. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO SOMETHING AND THEN WE APPROVED THE BUDGET.

THOSE ARE MY REPORTS, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL MEMBER ROGERS.

YES. A COUPLE OF REPORTS TO PROVIDE.

ONE IS THE OUR NEW ANIMAL CARE PROGRAM THAT WE ARE NOT PART OF YET.

IT WILL TAKE PLACE IN JULY OF 27.

BUT WE. SINCE WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE WE'VE BEEN INVITED ON THE BOARD.

SO I'VE ATTENDED A COUPLE OF MEETINGS OR ATTENDED ONE OF THE MEETINGS.

SO THIS BOARD MEETING THAT WE THAT ATTENDED LAST WEEK, SEVERAL ITEMS TOOK PLACE.

DISCUSS THE PROCUREMENT AND AUTHORIZE PROCUREMENT OF TWO SERVICE TRUCKS TO F12F250S CURT HAGMAN HAD SUGGESTED MAYBE THINKING ABOUT DOING ELECTRIC VEHICLES, BUT IT WAS FOR NOW, IF THEY WANTED THE RELIABILITY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE PLUG INS, PLUGINS, ETC.. SO WE'RE GOING WITH TRADITIONAL SERVICE TRUCKS TO BE PART OF THE FLEET THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

SO THEY'RE CONTINUING AS THEY'VE ONLY BEEN AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, ACTIVE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.

THEY ARE LOTS OF BUILDING BLOCKS ARE TAKING PLACE TO MAKE THIS THIS FACILITY AND AGENCY A SUCCESS. SO ONE OF THEM WAS ADDING MORE SERVICE VEHICLES.

ALSO PART OF THE AGREEMENT WITH CHINO HILLS PARTICIPATING, ALTHOUGH AGAIN, WE WON'T HAVE SERVICES FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS OR SO IS TO FOR US TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A TRUCK, A LARGE TRUCK AND A HORSE TRAILER DEBATE TOOK

[01:00:03]

PLACE WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS TO DO WE REALLY NEED A 4 OR 6 HORSE TRAILER, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO HAVE A VERY BIG VEHICLE FOR IT.

IT WENT BACK AND FORTH AND THEY DECIDED TO TABLE IT FOR A MONTH.

SO MORE INFORMATION AND MORE INVESTIGATION COULD TAKE PLACE AS TO WHAT WE REALLY NEED.

DO WE NEED A TWO HORSE FOR NOW, OR DO WE NEED TO BUY A FOUR AND SIX HORSE SIZE? SO THAT WENT BACK AND FORTH, BUT IT WAS TABLED.

I DID SOME SOME, SOME BUSINESS ACTUALLY SELF INSURANCE.

WE AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR SELF-INSURED FOR WORKER'S COMPENSATION AND THE PURCHASE OF WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE FOR THE 35 OR SO EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ON ON STAFF DISCUSS THE FORMATION OF A FRIENDS OF THE ANIMAL CARE FACILITY OR ARC.

AND SO A BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE FRIENDS IS BEING FORMED IN ABOUT A MONTH.

SO APPLICATIONS WERE THEY ADVERTISED IT AND APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.

I THINK I HEARD, I THINK 11 APPLICATIONS FOR FIVE SPOTS.

AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH EACH AGENCY, WHICH IS FOUR CITIES AND THE IN THE COUNTY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY GETS TO SELECT ONE INDIVIDUAL PER PER AGENCY FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FRIENDS OF ARC.

OTHER THINGS THAT WE DID WHICH ADOPTED A FIVE PILLAR STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH I WON'T REVIEW RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN IN PLACE.

HAVING TO DO WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND THE DELIVERY OF ANIMAL SERVICES, ETC., AND JUST THINGS IN PLACE NOW AGAIN, ONLY AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

SO THEY'RE STILL REALLY GETTING THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND, BUT VERY ACTIVE. AND LASTLY, WE DID APPROVAL OF A TNR OR TRAP NEUTER RETURN PROGRAM FOR CATS AND THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS REQUIRED TO MAKE THAT A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM WITHIN ARC HAVING TO DO WITH PUBLIC INTERACTION AND WORKING WITH VETERINARIANS FOR THE FOR THE SURGICAL SPOTS.

ET CETERA. ET CETERA. SO IT WAS A VERY ACTIVE MEETING, I WILL SAY, AND IT'S A GOOD GROUP THAT WE'RE INVOLVED WITH.

AND IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC TO BE IN BECAUSE WE DON'T RECEIVE SERVICES FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS. AND YET WE'RE REPRESENTED ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS A DECISION MAKER.

SO IT'S AN INTERESTING PROCESS TO GO THROUGH.

THAT'S IT FOR ARC. AND THEN ALSO ANOTHER BOARD MEETING THAT I ATTENDED IN THE WATER WORLD IS C, D A OR YOU KNOW, DAS ALTER AUTHORITY, ONE OF OUR OUR WATER SOURCES.

AND THIS IS MORE MUNDANE, SOMEWHAT BORING BECAUSE WE DID PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENTS FOR DIFFERENT CONTRACTS HAVING TO DO WITH WELLS.

WE DID AGREEMENTS FOR HYDRO, HYDRO, GEO HYDRO SERVICES.

WE REVISED OUR EMERGENCY PLANS FOR THE TWO BIG FACILITIES.

WE HAVE ONE IN EUROPA, ONE IN CHINO, AND WE DISCUSSED RESERVE POLICIES AND INVESTMENT POLICIES.

SO THAT MADE UP OUR BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT.

[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]

WE'RE MOVING ON TO COUNCIL COMMENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER CYNTHIA.

THANK YOU ART. JUST A COUPLE THINGS.

WE WE ALL WENT TO THE REOPENING OF COMMUNITY PARK.

IT WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING.

A LOT OF FINANCIAL COMMITMENT. BUT WHAT A PROJECT IT IS, JONATHAN. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE VISIT OUR COMMUNITY AND SAY YOUR PARK IS AMAZING. SO IT'S REALLY A JEWEL IN THE RECREATION RECREATIONAL SPORTS WORLD.

AND WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT IT WHEN THEY COME VISIT IT.

SO SOMETHING THAT WE ALL KNOW TO BE VERY PROUD OF.

SO IT WAS A GREAT JOB BY YOUR STAFF PUTTING THAT ON.

THE ONLY OTHER THING I HAVE IS JUST AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CHAMBER.

THERE'S A WOMEN'S CONFERENCE COMING UP ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH FROM 8 A.M.

TO 1 P.M.. DETAILS AND REGISTRATION.

YOU CAN VISIT THE CHAMBER WEBSITE.

IT'S A, YOU KNOW, HALF DAY EVENT OF INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN SPEAKERS.

IT'S OPEN TO GENTLEMEN AS WELL.

AND JUST IF YOU HAVE TIME THAT DAY TO COME ON DOWN, I'LL BE THERE AS WELL.

AND IT'S A REALLY GREAT EVENT THEY PUT ON AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ALL RIGHT PETER. SURE.

I'LL TAKE A FEW HERE. CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HAS A COUPLE OF EVENTS.

ONE OF THEM IS THE ANDY VARGAS CONCERT, WHICH IS THIS SATURDAY.

AND ANDY VARGAS IS THE LEAD SINGER FOR SANTANA, AS I'VE MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES. THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

SO THAT'S MORE INFORMATION FOR MARIANNE.

AS FAR AS IT'S A SOLD OUT EVENT, ALL 425 TICKETS SOLD QUITE QUICKLY ACTUALLY.

WE HAD A FEW LINGERING ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND IT'S ALL SOLD OUT.

[01:05:03]

SO THAT EVENT AND THEN THE BIG EVENT, THE, THE EVENT THAT WE WORK QUITE A BIT ON FOR FUNDRAISING IS THE CHINO HILLS WINE WALK, WHICH TAKES PLACE AT THE SHOPS, AND THAT'S OCTOBER 11TH FROM 5 TO 8 P.M.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE AT CHINO HILLS FOUNDATION.COM OR.ORG, AND THEY'RE $75 TICKETS, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A 1500 PERSON EVENT.

WE RAISED EACH YEAR WE HAD ABOUT 100.

THIS YEAR. WE ADDED ABOUT 50 TO BRING IT TO 1500, AND THAT'S ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SETTLE IN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT IT'S ABOUT FIVE WEEKS TO GO.

SO WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF TICKETS LEFT, BUT IT'S BEEN SELLING.

WE'RE PROBABLY AT 50% WITH MORE THAN A MONTH TO GO.

SO KEEPING WITH TRADITION, IS IT THE SAME DAY THAT THE BAND COMPETITION IS UNBELIEVABLE? AT LEAST HARVEST FESTIVAL IS NOT THE SAME.

YEAH, THANK GOODNESS THAT'S TRUE. IT WAS ONE YEAR, THE HARVEST FESTIVAL, SO IT'S A BIG EVENT.

THEN TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AND IT WILL SELL OUT.

SOLD OUT FOR YEARS NOW, BUT IT WILL SELL OUT.

SO GET YOUR TICKETS WHILE YOU CAN AGAIN PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY PARK REDEDICATION. AND IT WAS IT'S IT'S AN INTERESTING.

I VISIT THERE ALL THE TIME, ALTHOUGH I DON'T ANY LONGER HAVE KIDS PARTICIPATING. BRIAN DOES, BUT BUT WE DON'T, BUT I VISIT OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE PRIOR TO TIME ON CITY COUNCIL ON PARKS AND REC COMMISSION, RAY AND I HELPED DESIGN THAT FACILITY MANY, MANY MOONS AGO. WE DEDICATED IT IN FEBRUARY OF 2007.

SO IT'S FUN TO GO BACK AND SEE THE FACILITY AND ALL THE AMENITIES THAT WE BUILT INTO IT, BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS COMMUNITY PARK OF SIX FIELDS, WHICH IS RIGHT WHERE THE SHOPS IS.

ONE OF THE FIELDS I THINK WAS FIELD NUMBER TWO.

FIELD NUMBER TWO IS WHERE WOOD RANCH BARBECUE AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, ALL THAT WAS THE SHERIFF'S WAS OVER THERE ALSO AT THE TIME, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

BUT IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT WE KEEP OUR INVESTMENT, OUR MAJOR INVESTMENTS UP TO SPEED AND SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF, THIS COMMUNITY PARK. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF IT.

AND THOSE THAT VISIT THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS FROM OUT OF TOWN ARE IN AWE OF THE SIZE OF THE FACILITY, HOW HOW WELL PUT TOGETHER IT IS AND THAT WE KEEP IT UP AND WE PUT IN 8 TO $10 MILLION ON THIS ROUND TO TO REDO THE ARTIFICIAL TURF AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT. SO VERY PROUD OF THAT FACILITY.

VERY PROUD. LASTLY, FOR ME, BOAT PARADE, I'M FIRING THE FIRST SHOT HERE AT THE BOAT PARADE. THE BOAT PARADE WILL BE ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12TH. SO PUT PUT THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR AND THEY ARE SOMETIME IN LATE OCTOBER OR EARLY NOVEMBER.

REGISTRATION OCTOBER 21ST THROUGH NOVEMBER 26TH.

SO ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO PARTICIPATE WITHIN THE PARADE ITSELF CAN REGISTER DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME THROUGH THE CITY.

AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A NEW ROUTE AS OF LAST YEAR, AND THAT ROUTE TAKES US PARTIALLY THROUGH THE SHOPS AND PARTIALLY THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT CENTER HERE. AND IT SEEMED TO BE A VERY POPULAR REROUTING AND IN DOWN PAYMENT AND COME BACK AROUND. SO BOAT PARADE WILL BE ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12TH. THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I'LL KEEP REPORTING ON THAT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, RAY.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE FIRE DISTRICT. I GOT A WONDERFUL LETTER THE OTHER DAY.

AND, CHIEF, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU BECAUSE I MUST HAVE CALLED YOU AND HAD, LIKE, 100 DIFFERENT QUESTIONS.

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT. I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, IS I KNOW WHERE I LIVE IN CARBON CANYON ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. I HAVE A PREVENTION INSPECTION SINCE MOST OF THE CITY NOW IS EITHER IN THE HIGH OR VERY HIGH AREA.

ARE WE GOING TO BE INSPECTING ALL THOSE PROPERTIES? MAYBE I CAN ASK FOR SOME CLARIFICATION ON THE QUESTION.

WHEN YOU SAY INSPECT. ALL RIGHT.

NOW ANNUALLY I GET INSPECTED WHERE I LIVE IN CARBON CANYON BECAUSE I WAS IN THE HIGH AREA.

SO NOW MOST OF THE CITY NOW IS GOING TO BE IN THE HIGHER, VERY HIGH AREA. SO MY QUESTION IS, ARE THEY GOING TO BE DOING INSPECTIONS ON EACH ONE OF THE PROPERTIES? WE WILL CONTINUE OUR INSPECTIONS AS AS WE ALWAYS HAVE IN THOSE AREAS THAT REQUIRE US TO, TO INSPECT. BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S MOST MOST OF CHINO HILLS ANYWAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF VEGETATION.

AND THEN ALSO WE CAN ALSO ALWAYS TAKE INPUT FROM RESIDENTS WITH RESPECT TO IF YOU'RE IN AN AREA THAT'S NOT ON THE FRINGE OF THE WUI, BUT A.

BUT A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY HAS A CONCERN ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY.

THEN THEY SIMPLY CALL US AND WE WILL GO OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE A LOOK TO MAKE

[01:10:02]

SURE IT'S MEETING CRITERIA FOR NOT REQUIRING OR REQUIRING ABATEMENT.

WELL, YOU GUYS ALWAYS DO A REALLY GOOD JOB, SO THANK YOU. I KNOW YOU KEEP ME ON MY TOES.

THE SECOND THING IS BECAUSE NOW BACK IN 2021, THERE'S A THING CALLED A HAZARD DISCLOSURE INSPECTION.

AND MY QUESTION IS, DO I THINK WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE THIS WITH THE REALTORS? BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IN ORDER FOR A HOUSE TO SELL THIS INSPECTION HAS TO HAPPEN.

SO AGAIN, ARE WE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE REALTORS? SO RIGHT NOW MY STAFF AND I SPECIFICALLY, THE FIRE MARSHAL IS IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE REALTORS GROUP, TO BRING THEM TOGETHER TO BASICALLY TO GO OVER WHAT'S SORT OF BEEN IMPOSED ON ALL OF US TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS AND WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE SPECIFICALLY.

ALSO AS IT RELATES TO TO SELLING A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE AND HOW YOU WOULD WALK THROUGH THE STEPS AND SECURING THE DOCUMENT THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT THE SELLER HAS MET ITS OBLIGATION TO PUT THE INFORMATION OUT THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR THE. THE HIGH FIRE HAZARD ZONE RISK.

CHIEF, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE, AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

THE SECOND THING I WANT TO TALK TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM FRONTIER WAS HERE EARLIER TODAY. I KNOW I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER WHERE WE DO HAVE A CAMERA.

AS YOU'RE LEAVING CHINO HILLS OFF CARBON CANYON, I WAS THINKING, AND WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, THAT WE PUT ONE WHERE YOU COME INTO CARBON CANYON.

SO THIS WAY IF ANYBODY DOES TAKE THE WIRES, IF WE KNOW ABOUT THE TIME, WE CAN HOPEFULLY TRACK DOWN THE PERSON THAT'S DOING THIS.

SO JUST A SUGGESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD LOOK AT THAT AND MAYBE HOPEFULLY THAT DOES HAPPEN. JUST A COMMENT QUICKLY, SIR.

FOR THE PUBLIC, WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO IS AN AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER, WHICH IS AT THE EXTREMITY OF THE CITY WITH WHERE WE MEET WITH BREA AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. SUGGESTION IS, WOULD AN ADDITIONAL A LPR GIVE US ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? I'VE SHARED THAT WITH THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, AND THEN WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT WITH OUR IT TEAM. THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE THAT.

THE LAST THING IS I MEANT TO SAY IT EARLIER AND I DO APOLOGIZE, MAYOR. WE THERE WAS AN AGENDA FOR TRANSPORTATION AD HOC COMMITTEE WITH BRIAN AND I JUST WANTED WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THE CITY OF CHINO.

EVERYBODY WAS THERE, RIGHT. ALL THEIR STAFF MEMBERS.

AND BRIAN, HE HAD SOME GOOD QUESTIONS.

AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT.

THOSE ARE MY REPORTS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BRIAN.

ALL RIGHT. ONE QUICK QUESTION.

I KNOW WE HAD AN E-BIKE AWARENESS WORKSHOP, JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW THAT WENT.

BECAUSE WE ALL SEE THEM ZIPPING AROUND TOWN NOW.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. THE EVENT WENT VERY WELL.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS ATTENDED AS WELL AS WE HAD HOPED.

WE HAD ABOUT 25 ATTENDEES.

I WAS ACTUALLY HOPING FOR A LITTLE MORE. BUT THERE WAS SOME GOOD INTERACTION AND I THINK SOME GOOD INFORMATION RELATED TO THE PUBLIC.

PERFECT. GOOD. AND THEN JUST THE OTHER COMMENT WAS, YEAH, THANK YOU AGAIN TO STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK.

AND THANK YOU FOR OUR TAXPAYERS FOR ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS OVER AT COMMUNITY PARK.

IT WAS AYSO PHOTO DAY, SO I GOT TO SPEND MY DAY THERE AS WELL AFTER WE HAD THE THE RIBBON CUTTING AND ADDING THOSE, WHAT, 88 SPOTS OR HOWEVER MANY 84.

THERE WE GO. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO SIT THERE AND CIRCLE LIKE A SHARK WAITING FOR PARKING TO FIND A PLACE.

AND IT WAS GREAT. AND YOU COULD HEAR IT FROM THE OTHER PARENTS TOO.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN TO STAFF.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S CERTAINLY JUST HELPS TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE SHINE TO THAT JEWEL OF A PARK THAT WE HAVE.

SO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

ALL RIGHT. FIRST, FIRST POINT.

KUDOS AND RECOGNITION TO SARAH RAMOS EDINGER, AVENGER AND MIKE KRUEGER'S FIVE BOARD MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND IT WASN'T A REALLY LONG MEETING FOR YOU TONIGHT, WHICH IS GOOD. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL RECIPROCATE TOMORROW NIGHT.

WITH RESPECT TO COMMUNITY PARK.

YEAH, IT WAS WELL ATTENDED.

WE HAD OUR RECREATION VAN ON DISPLAY THERE.

IT'S OF COURSE, IT HAD ALREADY BEEN ON DISPLAY AT PARK CONCERTS IN THE PARK, BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE COORDINATION WITH STAFF WORKING ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO PUT THAT TOGETHER. PEOPLE REALLY ENJOYED THAT.

YOU COULD TELL THAT IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE CONFLICT OF MUSIC AND MOTION.

I DID RECEIVE A LETTER.

I HAVE BEEN THE COUNCIL MEMBER THAT GOES AND ATTENDS MUSIC IN MOTION BECAUSE I'M NOT A WINE DRINKER. SO I HAVE COMMITTED TO BEING AT BOTH AWARD CEREMONIES TO PASS OUT AWARDS.

THERE'S GOING TO BE 30 BANDS THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO 24 LAST YEAR, SO IT SHOULD BE AN ALL DAY DEAL.

IT STARTS EARLY AFTERNOON AND GOES UNTIL ABOUT 9:00 OR 10:00 AT NIGHT,

[01:15:01]

SO I'LL BE DOING THAT.

THE JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE CITY PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE, YOU KNOW, THE STATE NOW IS 175 YEARS OLD TODAY.

THAT'S WHY WE DID THAT RECOGNITION TONIGHT.

BUT OUR CITY IS GOING TO BE 34 YEARS OLD DECEMBER 1ST.

SO WE ARE MERE INFANTS COMPARED TO THE STATE.

AND COMPARED TO THE CITY ADJACENT, CHINO IS PUSHING 110 NOW.

I THINK WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE.

YEAH. SO BUT WE STILL HAVE A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL CITY AND WE'RE PROUD OF THAT.

THE BIKE MEETING, IT WENT WELL, LIKE YOU SAY, I WISH IT HAD BEEN BETTER ATTENDED, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SUBJECTS I WANT TO GET INTO DEBATE ABOUT IT.

I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU REPORTS THAT I GET ALL THE TIME.

I KNOW WE ALL DO. WE GET EMAILS ABOUT THIS.

THE ISSUE OF E-BIKES IS NOT ONLY JUST IN CHINO HILLS, BUT ALL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

IT SEEMS TO BE ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL.

I KNOW IT WOULD BE HERESY, ALMOST TO SAY WE OUGHT TO OUTLAW THEM TOTALLY, BECAUSE THAT'S THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES ISSUE, I GUESS, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. BUT IT IS BECOMING AN ISSUE.

PARENTS APPARENTLY ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THIS.

THEY DON'T CARE OR MONITOR THEIR KIDS WHEN THEY BUY THEM THESE E-BIKES.

BUT WHEN YOU ARE SEEING THEM GOING DOWN THE STREETS, POPPING WHEELIES RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, YOU SEE THEM STILL ON SIDEWALKS, YOU SEE DIRT BIKES ON THE STREET.

AND THESE KIDS ARE JUST INCREDULOUS ABOUT IT.

AND I MADE A MISTAKE OF TRYING TO FOLLOW ONE THE OTHER DAY AND GOT TOLD I WAS NUMBER ONE.

SO YEAH, IT'S AN ISSUE, BUT WE'RE AWARE OF IT.

BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO.

WE'VE GOT RESTRICTIONS ON IT AND REGULATIONS IN THE CITY.

BUT JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, WE'RE NOT OBLIVIOUS TO THIS, BUT OUR HANDS REALLY ARE TIED ON THAT ITEM.

ESSENTIALLY THAT'S IT.

THE, THE SCHOOL BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, IT'S GOING TO BE GRADUATION TIME.

YOU KNOW, THOSE OF US THAT WENT TO SCHOOL BACK IN THE DARK AGES, WE USED TO GO IN AFTER LABOR DAY AND GET OUT IN THE END OF JUNE.

AND OF COURSE, NOW IT'S JUST, IT'S AMAZING HOW TIME FLIES.

WE'RE BARELY INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR AND IT'S SEVERAL WEEKS INTO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR ALREADY. SO BUT AT ANY RATE, THAT IS ALL THE COMMENTS I HAVE.

[ ADJOURN IN MEMORIAM AND IN HOPE: Adjourn with deep gratitude, respect, and appreciation for the brave individuals who serve and have served in the Armed Forces. Their selfless contributions protect us all. May we as a community continue to support and honor them.]

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS MEETING THIS EVENING.

AND WE THANK EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE AND TOOK THE TIME TO ATTEND.

SO I'M GOING TO ADJOURN IN DEEP GRATITUDE, RESPECT, AND APPRECIATION OF THE BRAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVE AND HAVE SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES.

THEIR SELFLESS CONTRIBUTIONS PROTECT US ALL.

MAY WE AS A COMMUNITY, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND HONOR THEM.

AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES AND GOD BLESS.

CHINO HILLS.
