My name is Denise Hanson and I am representing the city staff regarding the appeal of the correction notifications granted in April 29, 2026 by the security and apartments in the property located at 570 North H Street, operating as a Sunshine Motel. The appeal is from attorney Frank Shine on behalf of his clients, Mr. Elliott. ha otorgado un reporte con los anexos, que creo que tienen una copia, que tienen un resumen de los de los problemas y de las notificaciones en etiqueta roja. Quiero llevar su atención al anexo número dos, lo cual es el fiscal. Pueden ver que aquí se otorgó que el oficial, Kevin Cooney, ejecutaron el warrant con el propósito de cualquier violación de la ciudad. San Bernardino, the municipal section codes 202 and 9.3 or 05 that find an authorized officer like any authorized officer or any employee of the city with the authority to enforce any permission of the municipal code. the code of the business that is present to conduct its inspection. Now we ask that the inspector of San Bernardino, Elias Revalar, can resume his involvement in this case.
Good afternoon, honorable mayor and members of the council. My name is Elias Regoyal. I work as an inspector for the city of San Bernardino. Excuse me, when you speak, are you controlling the screen? Oh, yes, because that's what we have to be seeing while you're speaking.
Documental 2 will be an incautious search order, rather.
In April 29, 2026, I participated in an inspection of the Sunshine Motel, located on 570 North 8th Street, together with the San Bernardino Police Department, to carry out a search before I arrived at the property with the code to see which permits had been granted to the property. There was none, except in 2002,
which was to replace a drywall sheet. During the inspection, I saw several electrical concerns that were clearly visible without inspection. These included alterations throughout the property. Construction did not allow for an office area, an emergency exit window, an obstructed exit door, and a lack of smoke alarms. When the documents were required at the time of inspection, they did not show approval for electricity.
or the changes in the occupation that I observed. Based on the electrical work, the construction work not allowed, the construction division determined that the electrical codes could not be verified by the electrical systems and the construction not to be reviewed or approved by the appropriate process La propiedad se determinó estar en una condición no segura y se empezó una acción de inmediato.
Se le emitió una notificación de documento rojo para poder exigir que se obtengan los permisos necesarios.
and it's currently being reviewed that document that was presented by the owner. And the copy here shows the documents that were presented and precisely shows the conditions that were in that date.
Paying attention to the photos presented on the screen, these are the photos attached to the staff report and taken April 29th, 2026, yes they are. Well, can you describe what is significant in that first photo? Well, this first photo shows a,
tubo metal, metálico eléctrico instalado arriba de la entrada de la puerta. Vi este tubo horizontal y entraba por el edificio, por la pared exterior. Y queda la siguiente foto. Esta fotografía muestra más tubo metálico y cajas instaladas en la pared de afuera. El tubo sale horizontalmente y verticalmente y parece llevar cable. Esta fotografía muestra la parte interior de una ventana recorrediza. Durante mi inspección vi que esta ventana se había asegurado y le impedía la función para poder abrirse en una emergencia. Se puede verse seis pulgadas debajo de la ventana, de la agarradera de la ventana en el centro. So this picture shows a smoke alarm that is attached to the ceiling with the alarm itself not being there. And I saw this condition in other situations, missing these alarms for the occupants. They were notified in 90 to 95% of the rooms. This picture, so this picture shows
Los vias eléctricas instaladas por la esquina y yo vi varios lugares donde había tubo y cable añadido en el exterior por alteraciones donde no pudieron verificarse inspecciones. ¿Y esta foto? Esta fotografía muestra la área identificada y se usa como oficina de motel basado en información de antecedente This office is shown from the left to the right. They were built without approval from the building or permits. You can also see the electric pipes through the sky where the wall meets. I'm going to go to the next one. What about this photo? Y podemos voltearlo a un lado. Bueno, esta fotografía muestra otros penetreos y reparaciones por la pared externa a las habitaciones. Las áreas cubiertas indica que cada centro cable por cada espacio y luego se tapó después para sellarlo. Esto se hizo adaptaciones para poder... Y esta foto. Esta fotografía muestra uno de los paneles eléctricos que sirven el motel, varias conectados por penetreo por la pared. Insulación de esta manera no es constante con la manera que se espera con permiso. Esto muestra, se mostró en varias diferentes instalaciones y ayuda a demostrar la gravedad del trabajo que se documentó en mi inspección. Y esto es en el cuarto de lavandería. Bien, ¿y qué hay de esta foto? Eso también es en el cuarto de lavandería. Esta fotografía demuestra el cuarto de almacenamiento. Yo observé cable que cruzaba el cielo, cierto equipo eléctrico que salía de una caja cerrada. Este se conecta al panel que estaba en la foto anterior. And this photo is a continuation of a metallic tube. This photograph shows the walls connected to the sky. The panels are seen under the corner on the wall where it joins with the sky. And this is the same color that the painting of the wall was painted in the same way to connect with the wall. Bien, ¿y qué es esta foto? Esta foto muestra otra unidad de gas, muestra el cable que sale de arriba del techo donde la pared y el cielo se juntan para unirse con la caja eléctrica. ¿Y esta foto? Esta fotografía demuestra la elevación delantera del motel y también las luces que están insertadas y muestra The elevation on the first floor and the second floor. There are also sales machines. Immediately the window where the room of the staff or the driver is. And that will be better presented in the next photo. And the next photo, this is on the side. Esta fotografía muestra una ventana que se muestra directamente detrás de la máquina de venta. Parece que la ventana tenía una abertura defectiva y eso impide la salida. Las habitaciones para dormir en el otro lado de esta ventana tienen la única puerta y se impide de poder usarlo como salida del edificio. Bien, ¿y esta foto? So this shows another external view of the office and an adjacent building. It shows the orientation of the building to the motel. And this photo? So this photo shows the electrical cable installed by the inner wall and it leads to a fan about 15 feet. These were the ones that were shown in the last photos. Now, we're asking the office of Jeremia Celiano why the conditions observed by Inspector Revelar determined the property is not safe. Buenas tardes, Honorable Alcaldesa Tran y miembros del Consejo Jerry Olano, Oficial de Edificios para San Bernardino. Tras los documentos que presento revelar, voy a dar más detalle en los hallazgos y por qué La marca roja y las correcciones del Sunshine Motel tienen que hacerse. Construcción no permitido o ilegal puede proponer un peligro grave al público y ese peligro es más que nada trabajo eléctrico ilegal por el riesgo de... When the electricity is installed, if the proper review of the proposed work during the permit process may result in the work not reviewed or below the standard, and this is the case in the Sunshine Motel. Before carrying out its inspections, the inspector coordinated with the city staff and confirmed that the permits that were most recently obtained were in 2002 for the installation, of a fixed element of light and a repair of drywall. And as shown in the photos, the inspector revealed at the entrance of the rooms not only verified illegal electrical work, but also an addition of a building and the smoke detectors were removed and the exits were also obstructed. Everything had been done without the necessary permits. The most dangerous of his findings were those things that involved illegal electrical work. The photographs confirmed that additional electrical work that resulted in additional demand in the very old electricity panel, which is shown in the picture.
This can certainly overwhelm the panel and can result in a fire.
Also, when a metal tube is used, which you can see in the pictures, the installer has to stick to the maximum number of cables in that tube.
If not, the heat can increase and again cause a fire. And even more, the smoke detectors were removed in several rooms and the exits of the doors were also not no se podían usar también una adición ilegal fue construida en la oficina principal del motel presentando materiales no revisados el sistema en el cual se usó para construir las nuevas paredes y como esa nueva estructura se conecta a el estructura ya existente por el los terremotos aquí en california estos sistemas se tienen que revisarse antes de después de durante la the construction and to confirm that it is as safe as possible. It is also worth indicating that more electrical work was done. Upon completion of his inspection, the inspector revealed that he proceeded to declarar peligroso la instalación de acuerdo con 116.2 y 116.3 reglamentos de California por condiciones no seguras. Estas copias, las copias de las secciones del código se pueden encontrar en el documento 7 de su prueba documental.
En fin, se recomienda que se mantenga esa notificación de peligro para asegurar la seguridad de los empleados del motel, los visitantes y el público en general. También, al mantener en su lugar las correcciones, la ciudad de San Bernardino va a ser protegida de cualquier responsabilidad. Gracias. Hemos presentado el informe de incendios de San Bernardino con el informe de personal en abril 29, 2016, como documento número 6. Se tiene la intención de proporcionar documentos en la inspección de incendios del condado de San Bernardino. ¿Pudo confirmar si la inspección anual incluye inspección para lo eléctrico no inspeccionado? Sí. Sí logré hablar con el departamento de incendios de San Bernardino y ellos sí confirmaron de que trabajo eléctrico no permitido no es parte de su inspección de incendios. Gracias. Entonces estaríamos pidiendo que honorable alcaldesa y concejal dejen en su lugar la advertencia de seguridad y lo mantengan como está. Gracias. ¿Cualquier miembro tiene alguna pregunta para personal? Si veo al concejal Ortiz. Sí, gracias. Se lo agradezco. Estoy un poco confundida. Sé que estamos hablando de lo eléctrico, pero ¿por qué es que nadie ha buscado, ha hablado con la búsqueda, el documento de búsqueda the judicial order, and it has to do with prostitution, where there are condoms, guns, drugs, and possible... I know that you said that the worst thing is the electricity, but maybe the human trafficking will be more, because literally the sex slaves are going to be set on fire.
And I think that's more important. I see it here in the document, but not on the screen.
Yes, if I can briefly mention it and then the officer can give information. Okay. Okay. Zero logic. Zero logic. Tienes un hotel que está funcionando como, digamos, un burdel o algo de prostitución. No ustedes, ustedes no. Hay que hablar del universo aquí. Entonces, solamente quiero delinear por qué esto no es igualmente un problema de policía. Y teniéndolo en la materia... en documento porque es el problema más clave lo eléctrico de un cuarto si creo que el problema más grave es de que las personas están siendo traídos aquí y se están aprovechándose de ellas entonces creo que lo más importante es un problema de trata de humanos So, what are you dealing with? So when you're dealing with business like a hotel or a motel in this case, there are different types of regulations that you have. What you have in front of you regarding this audience is the red notification itself. It has nothing to do with the issues you're talking about. We also have another audience that is being carried out related to what you're talking about, which is a separate audience that is not in front of the municipal council. It's a separate audience. But in this hearing, it's the red notification and the appeal for closing it for reasons of building inspection, and that's what's electric. And that's why you're determining if the building department was reasonable, if the building El cumplimiento de código era razonable para propósitos de aviso rojo. Entonces, esa es la razón por la cual estamos aquí hoy. Sé que le preocupa el otro asunto, pero por el sistema legal, ese es el problema que se le presenta a usted hoy. ¿La orden judicial está disponible al público? Sí, es parte del paquete. Bien. Sí. But no, because you can, for all of your purposes, say the subject matter is code, agree with you, fine. Yes, I agree 100%, that's a contravention, red alert. But you can't give everything to the public and say, but these are separate problems. So I understand, but no, because I think, because we don't combine the problems. correct me in my ignorance but why aren't we doing the same thing at the same time because they can we can leave it with the red alert because they have made these interventions so how do we correct the whole thing i don't know i could answer yes please then the city the city staff has also sought a revocation of the permit to operate the motel that is happening at the same time That involves the police department, that involves evidence that has been collected to execute the judicial order. The reason why we include the judicial order in this package is for the reasons that the building and the code were legally in the facilities and had the right to inspect. Excuse me, clarify that for me. Because there was a judicial order, they were allowed in the property, correct, because they were included in the judicial order that those of the code can go with those of the police department, that was included. Because the appealant there, in the appeal, did... queja de que el personal estaba en la propiedad inadecuadamente sin orden judicial entonces para poder tratar con lo que ellos dijeron en la apelación queríamos proporcionarle a la alcaldesa y al consejo la solicitud que muestra porque tienen presencia legal eso tiene sentido porque creo mi problema es que the idea that the motels in the center having electrical problems against prostitution problems. We see it. You can go out here to the exit and you're seeing the Wendy's going out on the street without consequence. I don't care what people think of what the law dictates because they don't see what they have in our city compared to other cities to this degree. It's almost as if we become blind and we complain to politicians about prostitution problems without the requirement for compliance with laws. So it's crazy not to address prostitution as we should and to be exploiting women for sex. That's all you're doing right now. para resolver algo que el problema realmente se está abusándole a mujeres para venderlas por sexo. Se está presentando un problema que el dueño sabía, no le importaba, y se está considerándose un problema de código eléctrico cuando es un problema de seres humanos. Gracias. Gracias, señora alcalde. Si puedo, yo... I'm going to deviate a little bit from the advice. Earlier this year, I think I had proposed, I think earlier this year, I proposed an order specifically for this. For what? If there was someone who operated in this city, with these circumstances, they immediately lose their license. And I think that was unanimously approved by the council, specifically for things like that. And again, I don't know if it's separate because this is almost like a civil code problem. I don't know if the other one is criminal. Mayor Tran, if I can answer the question, if I can put a key point in this. The court order, the reason for the court order is for criminal execution, to deal with human trafficking and sex work. to obtain this judicial order also allowed the officers to enter and inspect for code violations. They are related, but they do have a distinction. But the reason they have a distinction is for who hears such a matter. So there is a process of revocation of a motel. donde el código dice que se tiene que escuchar antes de el city manager. Y ya hubo una audiencia con el city manager en este asunto. Entonces, ese city manager no ha emitido una decisión, pero la audiencia ya pasó. Ahora, concejal Ortiz. You mentioned the point of how to put a stop to the activity and put a stop now. That's where the red alert comes from. Although the red alert is related to alleged electrical problems in the building, if a building has a red alert, the function of that is that people cannot enter the property, period. that detains any alleged illegal activity immediately when a property has a red alert.
The owner of the property has the right to appeal that red alert and the code says that the building
la junta de apelaciones lo escuche no hay una consejo sentado entonces se difiere a se va al lo que dice el código de california para los edificios entonces se dice consejo aquí están las apelaciones para el aviso rojo entonces por eso hay una distinción por eso se está escuchando por diferentes personas y cuerpos espero que eso se lo clarifique gracias muchas gracias eso ayuda mucho consejal figueroa So, the opposing counsel will assert that the fourth amendment was contravened, that the government has no right to be in the property without a judicial order. In this case, I don't know which document it is, but in the judicial order. Affirmado por el juez en abril 20 algo creo que encontré aquí en la hoja 10 claramente dice que la ejecución del código va a acompañar a los oficiales de paz quienes están cumpliendo con la ejecución de cualquier contravención después de la orden judicial. La justificación del razonamiento es porque es común que los Lugares donde hay prostitución va a haber condiciones no sanitarias. Ellos, y asumo que todavía no han hablado, pero me voy a adelantarme un poco, pero voy a decir que la aseveración de ellos será que esto fue sin orden judicial y que la ciudad no tenía autoridad para estar ahí. Sería su punto de vista de usted que la orden judicial justifica la presencia de la ciudad con the execution of the code in the property? Absolutely. That would be our way of seeing it. The judicial order says that they have the legal right to be there. Y también he proporcionado como documentos adjuntos también para los agentes de código, porque eso también puede incluir los asuntos del código y de edificio. Y con, de nuevo, yo no soy un experto para esto, ni soy abogado en lo penal, pero con las órdenes judiciales, en cuanto al aspecto penal de ello, lo que ellos están buscando tiene que ser razonable en cuanto a lo que está escrito en la orden de registro. If what they're looking for is a piano, they can be looking for us in the microwave, because it's not reasonable to find a piano in the microwave. So if what they're looking for is criminal behavior related to abusando sexualmente o sirviendo como chulo estoy buscando aquí la hoja pero entonces esas mismas reglas le aplican a el ejecución del código al grado que si los de la ejecución del código están ahí sería razonable para que ellos entren y busquen por cosas que no son inmediatamente visibles entonces como en mi ejemplo let's say you're looking for, let's say in my hypothetical example, if you're looking for a piano, you're not looking for it in the microwave, but you could look for it in the living room or in the bedroom, because it would be reasonable for someone to have one there. But in that process, if you come across, let's say you go to the bedroom and you find packs or cans of cocaine, would that then be allowable to be charged in this matter? In other words, it wasn't part of the order. a judicial pero se encontraron con ellos. Sería, entonces, permisible que esa persona sería culpable de un delito por tener... Eso se llama la doctrina de a simple vista. Entonces, los agentes policiales o otros agentes del gobierno, si están legalmente en un lugar, si están ahí con consentimiento o porque tienen una orden judicial válida y se ha observado una contravención de la ley, entonces sí, las pruebas serían susceptibles a ser la base de un delito. In this case, there is a list on page 9 of the judicial order regarding what the police officers were looking for, but the description on page 10 allows them to include the entire property in search of any violation related to the city code.
And the city has adopted the building code, so any code or electricity violation is considered a city violation.
So I also say that when the inspector revealed, gave a statement, he said he didn't use any destructive investigation, so he didn't open anything, it was just what was seen at first glance.
Yes, and I want to get to that, because what is indicated in the judicial order is for the health interventions, right? So I want to get to the point where, yes, based on the registration order, I have permission
in the fourth amendment, because the judge has signed a permit to be in the facilities to search for non-sanitary conditions, right?
But in the process of searching for non-sanitary situations, if you were to encounter other contraventions, that was allowed and would be allowed, because it's in plain sight. Correct, and the judicial order is not limited to non-sanitary conditions, it's just an example of something they could find. That's all for now. Thank you, Counsel. Good questions.
Counsel, can I ask? I just want to say to Counselor Ortiz, obviously, about prostitution. It was so serious that several newspapers reported it. And in fact, in the information there is a judicial order. So when it has to do with an almost judicial hearing, if we can receive the legal information in advance so that we are better prepared. I understand that it has to do with two different hearings, but getting into this, I don't think any of us knew that. So it's just a recommendation for the future, for the council to be more prepared. It doesn't seem like we're denying something that was so serious that happened in the city of San Bernardino, which is a serious problem. It would be wise for us to receive more legal advice in advance. Any other comments by council? I don't see any. Mayor? Oh, Consejal Ibarra, no sé si esta pregunta fue completamente si se preguntó, pero pueden, el personal podría haber conseguido una orden judicial sin hablar de la otra actividad o viceversa, podrían ellos haber dado citatorio al motel por las actividades que estaban haciendo y así puede justificarse la orden judicial que está en el paquete?
So, for the enforcement of the authority code, it is allowed to have a judicial inspection order and a base one. A judicial search order can only be obtained by an officer. The codes could grant an inspection order, I think, if there are violation codes. But until the search warrant was executed, the personnel was not aware that there were violations of the property code. Thank you. That's all I wanted to say. Okay. Counselor Ortiz, thank you, Counselor Navarro, for that. And I want to speak a little briefly. o hacer un eco al personal que el concejal Figueroa lo trajo como mecanismo. También tenemos algo en el escritorio lo cual se requería ya sea anualmente o cada dos años hacer una inspección en todas las residencias múltiples de inspección in apartments or hotels, ensuring that they are in order with the standard code regulations to be able to renew their business licenses. Because what this is, this literally, and I'm going to say it again because I really want to take it home and I want the city attorney, I thank the immigration and counsel Kim, because we weren't prepared. We don't know that these are two separate judicial hearings, but if you take electrical problems to be able to detonate what has been prostitution, Podemos verlo haber esto hace muchos años. Si hubiéramos inspeccionado, si tuviéramos el derecho de inspeccionar bajo nuestro código municipal para poder revisar en cuanto a códigos de seguridad apropiados en los edificios sin permitirle a las mujeres que sean traficadas sexuales en San Bernardino y que llegue a una orden judicial, pudiéramos aliviar muchos de esos problemas. Asi es que estamos jugando atraparnos en una audiencia pública para poder detener el tráfico humano. Tenemos que otorgar una orden judicial de búsqueda para poder revisar problemas códigos pero no quiero irme de esta audiencia pública sin el entendimiento ni el entendimiento de mis residentes And I think that Councilor Figueroa has been very vocal in this. We should not leave this audience without avoiding and without a breach of how to stop prostitution and how to stop illegal businesses in San Bernardino and leave alone the electrical problems. If we can and if we put it out in the future, no no me gustaría ver esto nunca más nunca deberíamos de ver esto en lo que nosotros podemos controlar en el municipado de nuestros gobiernos porque realmente esto fue un arreglo esto pudo haber sido arreglado hace años y concejal voy a voy a llevarme esto a casa que esto es loco gracias gracias concejal concejal may pertin Yes, I just want to go back to the comment that was made. A blind eye was not turned around. A police operation was completed and that is why we are here. I also want to go back to the comment of Councilor Figueroa about what he has proposed because it happened unanimously. ¿Podemos regresar a eso? ¿Cuándo podemos tener una actualización de cómo nos encontramos en eso y cómo podemos implementar lo que se necesita implementar? Creo que esa es la pregunta mayor. ¿Cómo podemos prevenir a nosotros para poder continuar alineándonos en situaciones así? Personal, ¿tuvieron una respuesta al respecto? Vamos a tener que regresar con eso. Ok, gracias. ¿Tenemos un tiempo razonable de en cuánto? tendría que regresar y regresar con una respuesta a ustedes. No tengo. Si nos pudieras mantener actualizados en las actualizaciones, una disculpa, alcaldesa, pero esa no es una respuesta correcta. Son las vidas de las mujeres y de jóvenes. Lo máximo que puedes tener son 45 días para poder regresar a nosotros porque estas son personas, no son estadísticas. ¿La segunda reunión en septiembre? Creo que sí. podemos regresar en la segunda reunión de septiembre si gracias concejal y barra y también hemos tenido reportes de cosas que se hacen en este hotel en estos moteles en el centro ya hay registro de hecho solo estamos poniendo un aviso rojo por lo eléctrico deberíamos de también poner un aviso rojo para cerrar estos hoteles si se Thank you. Thank you, Member Figueroa. There is an annex that is written in all red. Creo que no estoy muy seguro quién lo escribió, pero fue un inspector. Y en lista, muchas cosas diferentes. Es una nota escrita a mano y no permite a nadie en la propiedad, ¿correcto? Nadie permite estar en la propiedad con la excepción de medidas correctivas. ¿Eso es preciso? Sí, concejal Figueroa, eso es correcto. ¿Hay algún... Is there a penalty or what are the penalties if there is someone who is in the property that is not for non-corrective reasons? Potentially, it would be a violation of the building code section 114. If you enter a building that has a red label, the police can enter and it could be a criminal process. Ha habido permisos tramitados para plan de medidas correctivas. Hasta el día de hoy, no hay ninguna aplicación. Consejal Figueroa. I think Inspector Reveler, I'm going to talk about it. And while we receive that answer, who is monitoring this to make sure that no one enters the premises? Manually, it is the division of authority in conjunction with the division of the building. What happens is that if they have complaints or reports of suspicious income to the property, They are going to check with us to confirm what is the next action to take. I can answer regarding the divisional question. My understanding is that an application has been processed for the construction of a permit and it is under review. So far it is not approved for someone to enter and this is how in general we are going to fix everything? Chancellor Figueroa, I understand that the application is to allow the unallowed structure to be added to the main office, which is in the photograph here. Very good. Part of that process. is a requirement to enlist specific individuals or companies who are allowed and who are not allowed? No, sir, not specifically. It would only be professional designers contratistas con licencia, lo cual sería necesario para construcciones no permitida para ver las condiciones en las que están trabajando. Muy bien, muchísimas gracias. Ninguna otra pregunta. Alguna otra pregunta, concejal? Muy buenos comentarios y muy buenas preguntas, concejales. Gracias. En estos momentos, le invitamos a los apelantes a otorgar su evidencia y su testimonio. Van a tener 15 minutos para poder hablar. Miembros concejales pudieran detener cualquier pregunta hasta que el testimonio haya sido concluido. Could you turn on your microphone, sir? Thank you. Okay, thank you. Hi, I'm Frank Weiser. I'm the lawyer for the plaintiffs. And here I have on my right, J.B. Byrd, who was the property operator with his partner, Praveen Papp. And they are Sezeka LLC. And on my left is Josh Josie. who is the son of the owner of the property, who are the Joshis, who are here attending as well. So, just to go back here a little bit more, we know that it's a little weird that we're here in red codes, in cases that are really worrisome, as the counsel is insisting, and the lawyer in criminal cases, we need, because we came here, it's because we came with a fiscal order to be able to review, because I have litigated in the 1990s when Jeff Medman was his city attorney, and Pembe put me on the map, and I have had decisions of Circuit 9 against the city, passing with the motels, with security problems, and as far as clearly the courts found that the motels are not sustaining their obligations, More or less, the Constitution applies, and the city has its obligations to the Constitution, and they lost a series of cases in 1994, 1995, I think, and in 1996 in a case that I litigated in Motel against PEDME in 103 in the federal report, 868 in circuit 9 in 1996 and also had companions wanted to close all the motels without audience and I could win two cases in the district court in the city against the city two motels that she really never got tired another of the cases that he litigated was a companion case But I wasn't the lawyer there. But it was an accompanying case to my case, to the Mattel case. And it's a case called Armadale CPM. And this is in 75-13-11. And I also think it's in Circuit 9 of 1994. Este caso sostuvo específicamente por el circuito 9 de apelación. Creo que 11 jueces de los 28 fueron elegidos para representar el circuito completo que la ciudad violó lo que vienen los propietarios que están siendo cerrados porque los códigos abuso de autoridad estaba siendo utilizado para propósitos pretextuales, no solamente de autoridad, sino por propósitos ajenos al código de seguridad. and especially what are the noble goals. And I'm not against human trafficking because I'm not here to defend it. Even though I defended it in the litigation, I'm not here for human trafficking. I'm not defending that. But the Constitution is, the government can go more than what is allowed in the Constitution. Circuit 9 really rejected it in the case of Armaderen and another case is in the case of V-Grade 2020 in Circuit 9. in the 829 federal report, and I think it was 3 or 4, I think it was 3, on page 603, and in that case it specifically indicates that when the police have, combined with the authorities, codes, when the authority codes only go to make authority codes, and when the real motive is to assist a criminal investigation, it's a violation of authority. And here, the interesting thing is that we have a search warrant, as counsel Figueroa said, and I have seen this search warrant, and number one, it was highlighted by the counsel, there is nothing in the judicial order that speaks in terms of problematic causes of violation of codes. They are not here to justify the necessary violations. I have not seen anything regarding violations of codes or systematic codes or inspections that have seen violations. This is something that I believe as an assistance from the police and the city to be able to close the motel. Los casos en específicamente indican que esto es una violación del código de amendamiento. No he visto y quizás estoy incorrecto. Por favor, corríjame si estoy incorrecto. No vi al juez ni su firma específicamente hablando de violaciones de códigos. that they had the right to come for the violation of the codes. Yes, it says that there are felonies and suspects of felonies, which are traffic problems, and that they have the right to seek personal property, personal causes, but nothing, if I turn around, if I'm wrong, that they are directly violations of the codes. And if that's the case, And it is very clear, from what I have heard in the city's presentation, that the codes came out with the purpose of helping the police and being able to close this property. That is a violation of the United States and in Armadare, be aware, dicho ahora diciéndolo quiero dejarlo muy claro no estoy aquí para defender tráfico humano nadie puede pero lo que estoy aquí para defender es que tenemos a propietarios aquí que van a testificar que ciertamente no tenían conocimiento conocimiento previo de violación de códigos los operadores no tenían conocimiento de las violaciones de códigos And the problem is very, very limited. It is very limited to whether the city was in the right place to close the property due to violations of codes and if there is a basis that allows it to remain closed. One of the points that I want to highlight is that it is very clear, unless there is testimony that I did not understand or that I did not hear, that there was no previous city inspection. And as the judicial order said specifically, I think they are in these violations and we want to inspect if they are correct or if they are recited or whatever. The problem with having codes combined with the police is that they are totally different standards. Los códigos de procedimientos civiles mencionados se toleran con los códigos administrativos de violación. Eso requiere que la ciudad salga, obtengan una orden judicial que tienen que mostrar a la propiedad en el motel y decir, vamos a llegar para violación de códigos. Les damos 24 horas, una notificación de 24 horas previas. to be able to challenge the judicial order, unless there is an emergency exception that the violation code justifies that the judge can point out that they can leave without those 24 hours. But there is nothing in the judicial order that addresses these causes. Of course, if they are after the inspection for criminal activity, but not for violation of codes, my contention is that this judicial order is facially invalid, even though the judge has signed it. uh the spring is very clear that you can make a facial challenge as far as but i'm reserving it for the record i understand that the councilman is going to be going to have to tolerate that problem but i'm preserving it for the code records that mentioned i wanted to introduce mr perp y pedirle si pudieras decirnos solamente del código de violación. No estamos hablando de las acusaciones de tráfico humano. ¿Cuándo usted tomó posesión de la propiedad? I think that she might not have fired an inspector. Creo que han tenido una inspección de fuego que estuvo ahí, pero no estoy muy seguro. ¿Alguna vez fue usted citado con Azteca o usted o el señor Bob alguna vez fue citado? Nunca fuimos citados de la nada. Es justo decir que desde el 2023 hasta la etiqueta roja nunca han tenido ninguna citación de código. Es correcto. Y alguien de la ciudad le ha indicado que la propiedad era un riesgo or was it against the public for violation codes? No. It's fair to say that you were surprised about the violation of codes regarding what the city did with the red label and subsequently the red label. Did you have any contact with a city inspector? Not personally. And it's their understanding that the Joshis or the owners wanted to correct the property, absolutely, and to be able to take orders again. And they weren't involved in the current operation? No. And are you willing to give it to them? Yes. And they are willing to correct, within reasoning, any violation code? Correct. And what they have mentioned or what they have done is a correction of all the violations of security. The goal is that we have something that is a safe structure for anyone who can stay there or visit. Okay. There is a book of exhibitions that we have produced that I think the council has, and the exhibitions are one thing. De la una, no sé, de la una a la cuatro. Y creo que usted las marcó como la ciudad o permisos o departamentos de bomberos de la ciudad, lo que han revisado y que erróneamente están mencionados como la ciudad y no como el condado, pero quiero que mencione que es exhibición número uno. Esto es una inspección anual, un reporte de la inspección, un reporte de la inspección anual que recibimos con respecto a la propiedad. Y esto fue del jefe de bomberos? Sí. Y pasaron la inspección? Sí, sí las pasamos. Y alguna situación se le entregó durante la inspección? No. Y le dijo por el jefe de bomberos que hubo peligro de emergencia en la propiedad? No. Y me gustaría que vieras la exhibición número dos. Dime si puedes identificar esto. Sí, esto es un recibo con respecto al pago de la inspección. And what was the receipt for? For the annual permit. And did you receive the annual permit for the business license of both the city and the county? Yes. And did you also receive health permits from the county and the city? Yes. And from the city as well? And if they give it, yes. But I'm talking about the business license. Yes, we have received the business license. And when you received the business license, they told you that there was some concern regarding health insurance. No, no condition was put in place. If you go to exhibition number three, can you identify that, please? It's just an invoice, a summary of the invoice of what they were sending. And exhibition number four, could you tell me what this is? This is a fire and alarm inspection, a report from the company that is in San Bernardino, or that is approved by San Bernardino, that is approved by the County of San Bernardino to do these inspections, and they examined everything and everything was passed. Again, I just want to make it very clear for the registration. He has never had any contact with the city's violation code authority. When he took the property until the red label was received indicating the violations of the initial code, it is correct. And he never mentioned to any city inspector that the property was in a condition that opposes the danger of the community. No, they never notified me. Now I would like to ask Mr. Joshi, could you identify yourself Mr. Joshi? Yes, Dipen Joshi, I am the son of the owner of the hotel. And who are your parents? Could you identify them by name? Prakash Joshi and Mina Joshi are sitting here two rows back. How many years have you been the owner of Sunshine Inn? From 12 to 15 years. And during that time, has the city ever notified you that the property is in substantial condition? Is there the red label? No. No. No. Did you receive any kind of notification that you were in a substandard condition? No, not at all. Now you're going to be taking possession of the operation? Yes. And your intentions are to make any reasonable correction that the city indicates? Absolutely. And have you contacted the city about that? Yes. We have issued a permit for the extended office. ¿Cuál fue la respuesta de la ciudad? ¿Aún sigue pendiente? ¿Ya ha sido casi un mes? ¿Está pendiente? ¿Ya ha sido casi un mes y no se han comunicado con usted? No. ¿Hay un plan de corrección que tus padres tienen? Sí. Así es que después de la aprobación de la extensión de oficina, de lo cual vamos a respaldar, también vamos a tramitar acompañado con la oficina. Okay, gracias. Ya pasaron los 15 minutos. Gracias. ¿Algunos miembros del concejal tuviera algunas preguntas para los competentes? ¿Consejal Ortiz? Gracias, alcaldesa. Para el hijo. Is your family the owner of other hotels or is this your first hotel? This is the first one. Correct. Have you never been the owner of a hotel before? No. Déjeme... Estas fotografías veo que hablaron con respecto del reporte de inspección de las alarmas de fuego y eso fue de agosto 29 del 2025. Y después vemos que también hubo... There were no fire alarms in any of the rooms in 2026. Didn't you know that? Most of the guests like to smoke in the rooms and they like to remove the smoke detectors. You know it's a violation code. How do you know that they like to remove them? Because we constantly repair them. How often? Daily? One time a month, we have to go through all the rooms and put new ones. So if there were receipts of purchases of all the detectors, we don't operate. But of course, it's a business. So you could give receipts to the city of each of the smoke detectors that they continuously have to put. When we operated, that's what we did. We don't operate today, but Jamie, Jamie, you have the receipts of all the smoke detectors? We don't know if we have one for everyone, because sometimes they pay cash, sometimes with the credit card from Home Depot, others are ordered online, but we have a lot of receipts. What happens with these smoke detectors is that frequently, So they take them and sell them again. So they take them and sell them again. So we check and replace them all the time. Each room had a smoke detector and a functional fire alarm, at least until the end of March. And it could be that everyone could be robbed that same night, because that happens frequently. So... aunque uno de los miembros de concejales quisiera ver en facebook marketplace vas a encontrar cajas de estos porque los van a obtener de algún lado esto es frecuentemente lo que pasa aquí It seems that this is a violation that 99% of the rooms, and I think there are 22 rooms and 9 or 10 that were missing, so it's a significant amount of them, but this is a continuous problem that we tolerate on a daily, weekly basis. When I say, if I were to stay in your motel, normally I have to pay with a credit card, and if I don't do something that is not good, they charge me. cargoes con esos recibos y esto es un problema recurrente. No tienen una seguridad en su establecimiento porque creo que hay depósitos de mascotas, depósitos de limpieza, depósitos de humo. Creo que tenemos todos los registros, pero no creo que hay un depósito que estamos deteniendo, que estamos colectando. Because if this is a recurring problem of robbery and rape, which is potentially harmful to the health code of rape, where it says the judicial order and in the photograph that you gave us, you close the windows. What if there is a fire in a room and there is no detector? How are we going to get out? The way it was presented, it appears that all windows can be closed. That could be a problem with a single room. I don't know why it was secured that way, but that's not the case. with 21, probably 21 of the other 22 rooms. I can't explain that screw that was put in place. That could have been put by a WestVet, I don't know, but that's absolutely something we don't do or that we think could be judicial. So, how about, ¿Qué tal los cables corriendo directo a la caja de electricidad que están puestos? Nadie vio eso. Creo que no hay cables que corren directamente. Tienen conductos. ¿Puedes poner la foto, gerente de la ciudad, por favor?
Bien, síguese. how to read a security information sheet.
Now, I'm not an electrician, but I'm sure I'll tell you, don't touch that, because you literally have a
button to turn on and off the panel conveniently next to the fire extinguisher and brilliantly it has been covered in any mass or whatever that is now that seems legal to you if you are buying something if I am buying something let's be honest ¿Qué de eso se ve legítimo la instalación? Sí. ¿Qué dice? Esto es. ¿Sabes qué? Ellos pagaron un buen precio por eso. Yo no lo veo. Justo a un lado del panel eléctrico. Y ahora, digamos que lo siguieras a todos los cuartos. Gerente de la ciudad, consígame donde esa línea lleva a un cielo. Esa. Y ahora, donde se lleva a otro cielo. Siga.
Entonces, se recorre por el lado de la pared y vaya a donde está el abanico. ¿Qué de eso se ve legítimo? ¿Qué dice? Este es un establecimiento de diversión. Creo que tengo que gastar dinero y pasar tiempo aquí. ¿Por qué? ¿Sabes lo que me molesta? Te voy a decir lo que me molesta. Como simplemente ser humano. Me molesta cuando yo escucho cosas que nunca pondría a su propia familia... in peligro. Su esposa, hijos, esposo, padre, quien sea, nunca pondría a su familia en ese hotel. Porque una persona promedio no va a poner a alguien quien ama en un lugar donde las mujeres se están traficando. donde hay cables eléctricos llevando a un abanico de cielo, donde hay rejas detrás de las ventanas, está cerrado. No hay detectores de humo. But why is that good in San Bernardino? And he sits here. And by the way, I understand. Many won against Jim Penman. And that's why he was fired and never was elected in this city again. And that's why we correct our course again. But to sit here and make us act as if he bought a hotel from his heart and he has no idea why these contraventions exist. And in his judicial order, page 10 speaks directly of these code contraventions. familiarizados bastante bien con esos, ah, órdenes judiciales. Aquí se solicita el documento legal que los agentes de policía ejecuten la orden judicial es común para los, lo que se sospecha ser burdel, burdeles, señor. Tener varias contravenciones de salud como condiciones no sanitarias. Entonces, la orden judicial habla directamente en cuanto al In fact, that was the work of the police department for a long time. So it's the same, but I just don't accept it. Because either you are completely unable to run an installation or you were aware of what was happening, but anyway, it failed. So why is that not the problem? Why do we have to sit down and why does it have to be our problem? That you worked there and you didn't see people in the tangas, in the networks for the legs, you paid for an hour, you didn't look at the cables going up and down the walls, you didn't look at wires. Directly connected to a panel. Stevie Wonder can see that that shit is not right. I don't understand that. None of us can leave with ours for our homes. So, or his parents didn't know how to buy a building, he didn't get inspection, he didn't have anyone walk through the building and say, this is probably not the code. Don't put money there. No, nobody is that. Nobody. Unless you can think you can get away with it. Nobody is going to know because the city of San Bernardino is completely ineffective and doesn't do follow-up and the blind have been made for years. Well, you know what? There are no blind eyes here. With me sitting in this seat, there are no more excuses. To this degree, it's not okay.
And my colleagues may feel completely different, but you can't show us this in addition to a judicial order for prostitution and act as if none of this matters. Or because it's a contravention of the Fourth Amendment against a code. You have contravened us in every step. Corriendo una instalación que no estaba segura y por pura suerte no se quemó. Por suerte nadie murió. Por suerte usted no murió. Usted vive en la ciudad, sus padres viven en la ciudad. Usted quiere esa llamada a medianoche?
Oh, por cierto, el detector de humo que acabamos de reemplazar nos fracasó. No quiere eso.
Qué bueno que solamente les tocó un aviso rojo. Ya basta, alcalde.
Gracias. Concejal Ibarra.
Yo sé que tenemos nuestro Departamento de Bomberos del Condado aquí presentes y quiero saber si eso es algo que el oficial estará aprobando por toda la ciudad. Ellos hacen su inspección o no, entonces solamente quiero escuchar de nuestro condado. Buenas tardes. Si quería hablar sobre el hecho de las contravenciones que se hallaron. De hecho, tengo algunos de los informes anuales que mis colegas de hecho han cumplido en esta propiedad y ha sido a lo que yo puedo ver en nuestro sistema que hemos visto contravenciones recurrentes año tras año tras año.
Consistente con. Falta de alarma para humo, extinguidores de fuego, alarmas, también para las alarmas.
No solamente hacen falta, pero si se ve nuestro informe de prueba documental, algunos de ellos no sirven. De hecho, yo estaba en el lugar y evalué las alarmas de humo. Entonces, no fue solamente el hecho de que hacían falta, pero si fueron revisadas anteriormente, no servían. Las baterías se habían...
uh, quitado y algunos simplemente no estaban trabajando bien para nada. El código sí requiere que, si las han estado cambiando, un código sin poder dar la fecha específica, pero el código sí ha sido modificado para requerir que las alarmas se cambien a las baterías de 10 años para que no se puedan hacer arreglos. Entonces, si ve aquí en la prueba documental, las que están ahí no están cumpliendo con el código porque todavía utilizan la batería D. So anything in terms of, some are needed, some are completely useless. My next question, I saw that they paid. It says here, dated September 25th, San Bernardino Fire Department, San Bernardino Office, So what I currently have is that
So what I have here is that the contradictions that were previously noted in the inspection were corrected.
The only contradictions that I currently see is that the fire alarms did not serve at that time and that they provided an inspection report where there was a company that went out and reviewed the alarm. There is an annual requirement that they have a C-10 contractor that they have to go out and evaluate the alarm. Everything was to provide proof that the smoke alarms, the ones that were missing, had been installed properly. Because I also have concerns about the cables in the laundry that they were showing us. That could be a danger of a fire. I don't know if you saw that or if there is any report where it was indicated that they couldn't have the cables the way they had them. I can talk about the electrical stuff. Our annual inspection, which we do not need a judicial order, our authority to enter an installation, in fact, arises from the California Fire Department. It gives us the opportunity to enter a building at any reasonable time of operating hours. In our case, all of our inspections are done during the normal hours of operation. The electrical work is not seen unless it is an electrical cable exposed within 10 feet. That can cause a problem of a bad connection. Nuestro informe anual no consta de ningún eléctrico no permitido. Bien, esas son todas las preguntas que tenía. Solamente quiero escuchar de ustedes por qué.
Estamos escuchando algo de información que no tiene, no hace mucho sentido en mi pensar. Entonces, gracias. Tenemos más preguntas para usted, concejal Figueroa. Gracias.
Solamente para aclarar, usted estaba citando las contravenciones para este incidente. or this was the evaluation or the review of previous years, which was mentioned with the council and that was a report from 2025. That was the previous year. The one that is currently being carried out would be different. It would be a report from 2026. And I'm sure that, then, in 2025, if there were contraventions, it is correct. I can go to 2022, there were contraventions every year. So the owner was notified that the corrective measures were required at that time. And what were those articles again? Was it a long list or just those four things? It's something common every year. It requires service to alarms, extinguishers, and also some problems with the labels that needed to be corrected every day. So our process to act is that we inspect the property and give the owner 30 days to correct the contraventions. We return in 30 days and from there, if they do not have any contravention, we return for another inspection and then we begin to evaluate the additional inspection fines. It is not that we would evaluate quotations immediately, we give the opportunity to correct the contraventions within a reasonable period of time. then it would be reasonable to conclude that the owner would know that the smoke alarms or the detectors or labels, something like that, would be a contravention based on previous incidents, right? Because it would require previous corrective measures, right? So I'm just... I... sacando una conclusión basado en las evaluaciones violaciones anteriores sería razonable concluir de que cualquier problema con esto sería una contravención solamente estoy yo saliendo con esa conclusión no es si sería mi opinión si sería parte de su proceso repasar e inspeccionar por ejemplo si hay rejas en las ventanas es su parte de su capacidad también entonces en la instancia del hotel las ventanas las barras en Las varillas en las ventanas en la oficina que se consideraría la vivienda personal, porque no es transuyente. No tenemos el permiso por el derecho, más bien, a entrar en la vivienda de alguien, solamente las porciones del hotel. Eso sería los mismos cuartos o las viviendas del motel. So that would be in accordance De acuerdo a los bomberos, eso sería una vivienda personal, no sería parte de una investigación o una inspección. Correcto. ¿A usted se le permite entrar a cuartos ocupados o es solamente vacíos? Típicamente a base anual inspeccionamos cuartos vacíos. Si está ocupado, típicamente no entramos a ninguno de los otros cuartos. in the day of this inspection. And I don't know how detailed it is. Identify which rooms were inspected, how many were entered in the year of 2025. Don't list the specific rooms. I don't have any more questions for Caballero. Thank you. In fact, I do, after advising Figueroa. You mentioned reoccurring, and you also mentioned 2022, and then you mentioned every year. Are you saying that every year since 2022 there has been a contravention? That is correct. And then the Councilor Figueroa had asked about correction, corrective measures. So for every year's contravention since 2022, were those contraventions corrected? Yes. So there's a tentative as far as the last correction is those individuals getting in the least of the correspondence you receive an inspection and well he is a conscientious they came home to read this are para una re evaluation is a political here at the Los Otres contravention is antes de regresar Chris por la aclaración gracias a concejal Ibarra. Do you have any other questions? Si, brevemente, y eso es para el dueño del motel. Muchas gracias. Ustedes quizás tienen dos años con esa propiedad y se menciona que los detectores de humo, las personas se los llevan. Yo por completo estoy de acuerdo con el concejal Ortiz. La concejal Ortiz, cuando ella dijo, cuando las personas se van de sus habitaciones, alguien debería estar inspeccionándolos. Usted no tiene personal de limpieza quien le rinde cuenta a usted cuando una alarma se quita de la pared o cuando hace falta las baterías. Esas son contravenciones graves que si hubiera un incendio, todo el edificio puede desplomarse. As the owner of a motel, I think it's very important that you also work on having inspections every time those rooms are emptied. If they give you a credit card and you see that you need a smoke detector or multiple of them for that, because that's vandalism. But the fact that ayan contravenciones recurrentes eso es una preocupación para nuestra ciudad nuestros residentes como dueño de motel preferimos que sea más consciente de las personas a quien usted le da servicio como alguien quien opera un negocio y quiero dejárselo a usted así sea proactivo revise cada cuarto tan pronto que sea que se vacie y revise que no haya sido vandalizado y no puede estar esperando Weiser, right? Weiser. I, of course, could not imagine that your allegation, in fact, I need you to listen more strongly. I do not have the ability to listen so well. I imagine that in your point of view, the argument that you present is not if these are contraventions or not. a me entender es usted está en desacuerdo con la orden judicial de la manera escrita porque su manera de pensar es de que esto se está como usándose de acuerdo a lo que se dijo en el caso anterior en situaciones o instancias I think that's pretextual. I think that's the allegation. You can't use code execution as a pretext for other reasons. The execution of the code in the case of Amadeus and in my client was established in the case of the law of the 9th Circuit. And that is still in force in 10 or 11 states that you can't give too much power to execute it. This search leads to that and the constitutional base. I want to give an example. I won a case in the Supreme Court in 2015. And they know the case. It's in the city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles v. Patel, 5-6. Decision 5-4 by Judge Sotomayor. Judge Scalia, Judge Sotomayor, kinsberg live a vivia el caso surgió de nuestro reto de 40 moteles en el espacio del sur supuestamente males moteles problemas de tráfico la ciudad de los ángeles tiene una ley una ley nacional muchas ciudades lo tenía creo que usted lo tuvo aquí en san bernardino que usted podría simplemente inspeccionar without a legal order, without consent, and it can be done because it's done to control the traffic. I lost it in the first level, then in the next level, the presentation was that the presentation was not constitutional, I lost two to one in the panel of three judges, and then se repasó nacionalmente pateado contra la ciudad de los ángeles y gané 5-4 el punto que quiero hacer es todo lo que usted está diciendo aquí hoy eso es todo está bien aun si yo asumiera todo lo que usted está diciendo sobre la trata y no estoy de acuerdo tuvimos una audiencia de revocación hubieran muchos puntos indicados por nuestra parte por en cuanto a la defensa Even if you agree with that, what does that have to do with what Councilor Ortiz is saying? What is our problem? The problem is that you have to follow the Constitution. That's your problem. And I don't care if all the crowd here applauds. In short, public opinion is going to be the Ninth Circuit or the Supreme Courts, as in the case of Patel. And that's the right under the fourth amendment that protects everyone here individually. So I have a serious problem with that. We can all be against the treaty, but that doesn't mean that the city of San Bernardino doesn't have to comply with the Constitution. And you can't alter the Constitution for any goal you have, even if the goal is noble. That's my problem. And you're right. You want to use the word... Casa de Brujas. Yo uso la palabra en el caso Armaderas. Un caso que salió de su ciudad. Pretexto. Y es claro para mí que es pretexto. Usted le preguntó a un juez, pidió a un juez que firmara una orden judicial que permitiera una ejecución de código porque supuestamente es un burdel y de seguro van a haber contravenciones de código. No hubo especificación de contravenciones de código. Escuché al oficial que hubo problemas de detector de humo en 2025. Ellos no lo cerraron entonces. Ellos no lo hallaron como una emergencia entonces por contravenciones para cerrarlo, pero ahora sí lo cerraron. Entonces claramente creo que todas las pruebas de aquí indican de que este código para el aviso rojo no fue para ejecutar el código. Esto fue entreverado con la ley penal y se ha cerrado por la trata. Y de nuevo, eso no es para... to justify the treatment, but the rule of the Constitution still has to be followed. And here, this is the problem that I present. Okay, so do you think that any registration order is illegal? So no probable cause? That's not my allegation. I'm alleging that when code execution is mixed with police goals, that becomes a contravention of the Constitution. Code execution cannot be used for the purpose or goal of a police officer. So in that case, it's my opinion that it was used as a weapon, the execution of the code, be it for political reasons, for being a business, whatever. In this case, I see that the execution of the code was kind of supporting the criminal reason. I respect, I understand that you can have your opinion, but the registration order does not say anything like that. It does not specify what are the contraventions that are mentioned. the word burdel is used with contravention of code and the judge says he suspects a major crime in the property and that may be true but in the end the execution of the code was there to help the police and that's why it was there there was no article in the judicial order to justify any cause now they entered and said they found contravenciones ni que estoy aceptando la gravedad de las contravenciones pero sin embargo usaron un registro penal con pretexto y si se hubiera seguido las reglas de 18 25.50 de procedimientos penales se hubiera dado 24 horas de antelación de aviso because there was no basis at the time of having obtained the order that there was an emergency in the property. Perhaps there would have been an emergency, an emergency can be found, but if it cannot be seen when the registration order is received, it becomes an administrative standard order, it has to be given 24-hour notification, it has to be given Yes, thank you. So, you're right. I mean, I have 22.50. So, you're right. I mean, I have 22.50. Bien, entonces, le han dado citatorio casi cada año por, del departamento de bomberos, y usted no cree que eso es una contravención persistente? Sí, porque dijo, aquí vino los bomberos, dijeron, ustedes han estado contraveniendo en los códigos de bomberos cada año.
Entonces, ¿cómo se puede alegarse que es pretexto si usted constantemente ha estado en contravención de los bomberos?
Well, that's not my allegation. You're using an allegation after the fact. Why? Orden judicial requiere que antes de salir ahí tenga alguna clase de causa razonable o causa probable de contravención de código. Entonces, si llegara ahí y se halla que hay un peligro de incendio con la orden, está bien. Pero usted ya ha estado en contravención de la orden por años. Pero para ello, yo no escuché ningún testimonio de que hubo algún cierre o alguna emergencia. I even heard that the officer said that he was corrected, if I'm not mistaken, in 2025. But that is not a pretext because you have consistently been in contravention, in non-compliance, and even more so, después de más que esa contradicción hay prostitución. Entonces, concejal, ¿quién está enredando a quién? Usted está hablando de aquí del burdel, de la prostitución, la muchedumbre aplaudió. No se trata de aplausos, es de vidas. Ustedes sellaron ventanas, no se permitieron que las ventanas se colocaran y luego hicieron Mickey Mouse del trabajo eléctrico y luego no quieren hablar del... of the issue that there are women coming and going from the installation for chulos. And then he also wants to give his ideas of masculine with the word burdel in a registration order. So excuse me if I feel the same degree of generosity that you when making excuses to put humans at risk. The pretextual context is that you feel empowered to contravene fire codes, city codes, And then say, oh my God, I can't believe they found us with weapons, condoms and drugs. You know what? No, sir. Absolutely never. So, counselor, I was interviewed by NBC. You can see it online. The motel owners work with the city of Los Angeles to fight prostitution. I was chosen for this. I don't care if God himself put it. Sir, sir, please, one at a time. I don't care, sir. I don't care who interviewed him. You are sitting in front of us and testifying for our contraventions and you are alleging that they are pretexts. When you have an antecedent of contraventions, again, your registration order, which requires you to obtain it adequately and legally, was allowed to enter the code. A judge, for having affirmed, does not mean that it is necessarily correct. And, in the end, here it is. Well, I see it in a court. We see each other in a federal court, just as we had in the case of Patel and also in the case of Armanderas. But the allegation that you present does not make sense. You are a re-incident. Again, I continue with the Constitution. It is not public opinion. Calm down, please. Mr. Attorney General, I'm sorry, but to have people here... that they don't care about the people who live in this city, who are treated in this city, who are hurt in this city. And if you're not angry, I don't know what you would be. So if you don't... Si no puede simplemente decir que no puede llamar a un eléctrico, hay un problema aquí. Concejal, entiendo eso. Es enfureciente porque, concejal, por favor, concejal, por favor, estamos aquí hoy para abordar esto, para eso estamos aquí. Entiendo, estamos aquí para abordar esto. And it's clear, it's been noted. Mr. Attorney, from the city. Yes, I just wanted to point out that this public hearing is to present evidence and information to make an informed decision. I have heard similar points, repeated, and I think it would be beneficial to focus on new questions to find new information. Thank you. I appreciate it. Attorney, is there any?
Any new questions to continue? I have a question, but I don't know if it's for this councillor or our previous councillor who spoke about the processes or procedures of how the events occur. Just to clarify again, your position is You disagree with the fact that our position is that the code of authority was used in conjunction with the execution of the judicial order. My position is, while I have done it publicly, Opiniones publicas en el circuito de los Estados Unidos que esta orden judicial y la búsqueda violó lo que viene en el caso Armadare, lo que salió de su ciudad con la constitución de los Estados Unidos, el lenguaje utilizado en esos casos. in a continuous collaboration between Judge Pannol and the judge of the court in Circuit 9 was the pretextual word. So how does this judicial order compare to that case? Because previously you mentioned that the code of authority was used in conjunction with the authorities. The enforcement code did not have enough facts of any specific violation code. They did not give the judge any particular violation code. They indicated that what is BRAVO, what is criminal activity, which was associated with the violation of codes, but nothing specific. But the judicial order, the one that is required, is that there has to be specificity. But there was nothing specific. That is another aspect in technicians that the councilwoman does not like. But the technicians, the technical facts that the court needs, the reason why it was not specific was very clear. They used the word bourgeois and this mainly indicated that this is primarily a judicial order i think my question My next question will be for the other lawyer, for the other counsel. No question for you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, counsel Barra. And I would like to be able to ask you if our lawyer can come in. I would like our reinforcement code manager to come in. Please, Christy.
Thank you, Christy, for all the work you do and your team.
I'm not very sure that the lawyer here understands the process of a red label in a building. I don't know if you would like to review that procedure so that they can understand why our execution code is pointing to this building with this red code. I haven't seen any human trafficking, but there is something that the red code carried out. I think the security division and buildings are better at answering the red labels. Okay, thank you, Christy. Good evening, Counsel Ibarra. To answer your question, in my years of experience as a code officer, more of that when there's criminal activity, whether it's prostitution or drugs, they always go hand in hand with construction permits. And when we renewed this establishment, tuvo una una potencial o verificación de actividad ilegal generalmente nos invitan porque como lo mencionamos la mayoría de veces especialmente cuando se requieran las drogas no sabemos si las drogas están Siendo hechas en las estructuras, así es que hay una alta sospecha y una alta probabilidad de una violación del código de edificios y es por eso la premisa es que vamos a verificar. Y cuando verificamos la extensión de la violación del código de edificios, Some are small in nature and some are rigorous in nature and they are at risk of life, which was the case in the Sunshine Motel. That's why we put the red label. The reason why they put the red label on the building was because of the arduous security concerns. Yes, the building itself does not give me the authority to be able to take care of the criminal activity. As for the red label, there is one in particular that our code authorities have the right to be able to enter any building in the city and apartments to inspect violations of the code. Yes, in my inspection in particular, if there is a violation of the California building codes or if it is the San Bernardino Municipal Code, we have the right to enter podemos otorgarle al propietario de los negocios para que de esa manera puedan saber que nuestro ingreso al edificio fue válido a través del código y donde se pueda mostrar que nosotros estamos siguiendo las reglas y protegiendo a nuestros ciudadanos. Gracias, Mada. Gracias. Yo tengo pregunta para el abogado del personal en respuesta al abogado defensor. Thank you. The protection lawyer mentioned regarding the protection lawyer. I believe that the case of Armaderas does not support any of the propositions regarding the problem in this case at all. It involves the city under the housing violation of authorization codes for the city. I believe that this case does not apply in this situation at all. The case Greg cited, he put in the situation that the code authorities obtained a judicial order and the court found that by obtaining a judicial order that is a bit low standard by a judge, and bringing the officers to investigate. That was the problem. This is not our problem here. We have a higher standard of causes of problems, so it's inverted. In this case, we had every right to be here. The judicial order was approved. The judicial order allowed officers to search for violations of the codes, the city codes, the city has adopted the California violation codes and those violations were visible to the inspectors when they inspected the property and there was no protection applicable to this case. Thank you. You mentioned 822.0. This section of the CCP is when judicial inspection orders are involved and they can be used by authority officials to inspect a property. There is no reason why it has to be used here. There is a search warrant. It is a higher standard case, so there is no requirement for code officers to use C.C.P. 222 and obtain a search warrant that can become a criminal warrant. It is just another path that can be taken. Thank you. I appreciate your answer. And that is all for me. Any other cause for the councillors? Thank you. Okay. At this point in time, I invite the audience to comment or talk about this topic. You will have three minutes. We have not received any request to speak, but I don't know if we have any more. We don't have any. I don't see anyone. At this point in time, As there is no comment from the public, any final comments from the councilors? I will close the public call at 7.09 pm and I will invite the movement for this issue. I invite to deny the second. Thank you. Secretary of the Mayor, please call for votes. Council Member Sanchez. I want to be 100% clear. I need some clarifications. Councilor Rojas has a question. And Councilor Sanchez, I don't know where you're going, but just as a point of clarification regarding procedures, the original councillor is not allowed an opportunity to present or go into detail about that. That is an opportunity to respond to the public comments. There was no public comment and there was a robust conversation on both sides. En mi opinion, es libre para que ustedes vayan y voten. Siempre pueden otorgar otra oportunidad para dar comentarios, pero no creo que tengas. Solamente quiero asegurarme que en cuanto a procesos, estamos yendo por el buen camino. I'm not going to reiterate the arguments I made before. Do you have a response? Yes, you do. You have five minutes. In response to your closing, I just want to make a comment and an argument. And this is that the nature of this hearing is very rare. Once again, because this changes in terms of the assumption of criminal activity with the authorization of the code. And frankly, whether the counselor likes it or not, under the circuit law, Stuyvesant v. Pierce, If you have comments of prejudice, that could be of prejudice and I am going to raise an objection under the law of the court that I ask you that this procedure does not comply with the procedures of the process. This has nothing to do with the criminal activities that were carried out by the city manager of this hearing. This was initially only by force codes and is involved in the allegation of criminal activity. no puedo como puede desatar creo que está y voy a elevarlo y lo voy a mantener por motivos de la ley de corte y creo que este no es el proceso el procedimiento creo que no tienen que pedir un recurso y creo que el concejal de la ciudad no va a reclusarse pero voy a elevar una objeción le recomiendo que le des el mismo cantidad de tiempo para el abogado del personal. ¿Tienes una respuesta? No, gracias. Vamos a continuar con los movimientos. Solo aclaren los movimientos. Estoy haciendo un movimiento para renegar la apelación en cuanto a la cierre de la etiqueta rojo otorgado en la propiedad 570 calle Norte H en lo que es el Sunshine Motel y las órdenes determinadas. Yo lo voy a hacer segunda. ¿Consejal Sánchez? Sí. ¿Consejal Ibarra? Sí. ¿Consejal Figueroa? Sí. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Realizado por la miembra concejal Ortiz, segando por la concejal miembra Tess Knauss, es para adoptar la resolución 226-09, negando la apelación de la etiqueta rojo, la notificación de la etiqueta roja para 570 Norte H, Calle H, conocido como Sunshine Motel, en cuanto a la continuación de órdenes. Gracias. Voy a llamar a un receso de cinco minutos. Regresemos a las 7.20. Gracias. Counselor, please return to continue with business. Thank you. Okay, we're back at 7.28 p.m. Thank you for your patience. We are now going to move on to the next topic, which is topic number four, a continuation of the public hearing on June 3rd, 2026, or introduction of the ordinance number, MC 1666, amendment, sexual harassment of the municipal code, which adapts the new building code of 2025 All the reconciliations, the public hearing was opened on May 6, 2026 and continued on June 3, 2026 and continued today, July 15, 2026. I would like to offer an update or presentation on this topic. Hello again, Honorable Mayor Tramm and members of the City Council. No podemos interrumpir. Podemos cederlas. Estoy moviendo a aprobar. Hay una segunda. Gracias. Secretaria de la Ciudad, llama votos. Tú tienes las últimas. Gracias. Alcaldesa, tenemos que cerrar la audiencia. . . . . . . . . . . . . May I pretend to not? Yes. Councilor Flores? Yes. Councilor Ortiz? Yes. May the movement pass unanimously. Thank you, Councilor. Thank you, staff. Thank you, City Councilor. Thank you, Councilor, for giving the title of the ordinance, the register. Ordinance number 1666 in San Bernardino, California. Amendment to sections 14.0020, 15.01, 080, 15.0500, and 15.08. El Código Municipal de San Bernardino a El Código Municipal de San Bernardino que se pretende a los edificios de construcciones del Título 5 en el Código de San Bernardino que se adopta por referencia el Código de Estandarte de California, regularizaciones del Título de California consistente del 2025, Código de Edificios y el Código Internacional de Edificios. which is the California Electrical Code, including in amendment 2023 the Electrical Code of 2025 and 2025 of California Furniture, and the Furniture Code, the Mechanical Code of 2025, and amending the 2024 Mechanical Code and the 2025 energy code, and the urban phase of the historic building, and the fire code, and the interface code with the standards, the residence code, the international code of appropriate maintenance, and the existing California code. Muchísimas gracias. ¿Alcaldesa pudiera dar un minuto para consultar con la secretaria con respecto a un tema? Mayor Tramm, I understand that the next topic in your writing is to open to the public audience, but I want to clarify this because the public audience was closed in the last meeting. It was continued today, so you can reach that topic. But the mayor and the councilor do not necessarily need to listen to the testimony of the applicants or the public if they want or can, but they do not have. I just wanted to add that clarification because in your writing it says to open it. This is for topic number five. I don't need to open it. No, no, no, you have to open it. Very well. Let's move on to the next item. The next item, item number 5, which is a specific plan amendment 23-01 and sub-division 2305, which is the attraction map 20-59-5, which is the specific plan of University Hills, thank you, Mayor and University. This topic was continued on June 3, 2026, the city meeting and it was to recap the project began in 1993 with a proposal of 500 units, but it was not taken and in 2005 it was renamed to the University Hills specific plan. and it was made an element of the environmental committee and ultimately it was adopted by the mayor and the councilor and there was no movement to this issue from 2008 to the present. So the applicant is proposing the first amendment for the specific plan of 2008, which makes several key changes. Reduce the area of plans from 24 to 4. Reduce the density of residence from 23 units per acre to 3 units per acre. Increase the reservation of land and property from 105 acres to 30 acres and reduce from 980 units to 307 to be able to increase the size of the emergency infrastructure. and redesigned a conceptual park, which is three major parks and also small parks and amenities have been added. And there was an update for the traffic plan to add additional vehicle emergency access. And they updated the standards and focused on residential instead of housing. and there is an embassy that implements the student and there are approximately 327 acres in 327 lots, which ranks from 367 to 577. They have walking paths, they have an open space, they are putting the solution of development in the mentioned codes that are required. The five years of the plan were not reached, which the majority are no longer relevant, such as student housing components. y esto se va a poner con el Cal State San Bernardino para poder otorgar coordinación. El aplicante de Encore y Cal State San Bernardino están en acuerdo para poder terminar con las condiciones prácticas de aprobación. Como les dije, el tema fue continuado del 3 de junio del 2026 para la sociedad de Soaring. Desde ese tiempo, el aplicante y Crestline Soaring, la sociedad, han estado en comunicación y están aquí ambos.
Thank you. Do we have any requests to speak to the public? We do have a request. It appears that we have three for this matter. Jane Hunt Rubel. Luke Berger, and Jamie Shelton. And do you need to swear to amend them? Oh, no, there's no need. No, not for this. Not for this? Yeah, Mayor Tran, if there were... Mayor Tran, if there was a person there that the public section is closed, it doesn't have to be heard. Are they here? Please go up to the stage and you have three... Oh, not to the stage, to the... Patrol, and you have three minutes to speak. Good afternoon, Council. My name is Luke Berger, President of the Crestline Soaring Society. In the last meeting, there were two clear requests. First, that we provide some information regarding the Hand Gliding, Paragliding y otras clases de vuelo. Hicimos eso, mandamos correo electrónico en cuanto a la zona de aterrizaje. Esperamos que eso satisfaga su necesidad para ello. La segunda solicitud fue de que la universidad y el Crestline Soaring Society trabajara con ANCOR en nuestras diferencias de opinión. No puedo hablar por la universidad, pero entiendo que no han firmado un MOU todavía. No creo que sea satisfecho. Lo que es más claro es nuestro problema. Hemos trabajado muy duro en crear alternativas encore abrió la primera ronda de negociación y ofreció a quitar una casa y eso fue insultante. Crescent Soren Society respondió con cinco. Recuerde que en nuestra solicitud inicial fueron de 12 a 16.
Nosotros
We have re-examined all of our possible options and it was a modification to the original intention. It allows one from the north and another from the south. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but in essence, it makes it more difficult, especially for intermediate and beginner pilots. The response from ANCOR was, maybe we can do both. And if it doesn't decide for Monday, The night is over and we go to our original plan. They really didn't give us any opportunity. We were stuck in the decision of a minimum of five. You can't ask for a bridge to be built halfway and wait for it to cross. Also, I would like to tell you that the final drawings were not provided with the precise satellite guide, so there was no way to reach this agreement earlier. It is very clear to me that Encore does not care about the community or the needs of the community. They are here to extract value. They're going to create these lots, they're going to sell them to owners and they're going to take the profits to Newport Beach. The problems with traffic, the problems with public safety, the problems that the community faces, the university, especially Crest Island Soaring Society, they don't care about them. They're just going to leave, all those involved with the cargo. So I urge you to do what you choose to do, continue again, and maybe there's a chance that something will work out. Or you can vote against this.
That's what I hope you do. And, Mayor, I don't understand your power of veto, but if this applies to you, it would be the right time. Thank you. Next. Please declare your name. You have three minutes. Yes, Jamie Sheldon. I'm a member of the Crestline Soaring Society. I'm in the committee that was assigned to negotiate with Encore for a solution here.
And the only thing I wanted to add to what Luke said was that we didn't get to these negotiations looking for the best deal possible that we could conseguir y tratar de cerrar encore realmente entramos en las negociaciones buscando el número mínimo de lotes y hogares desplazadas o reposicionadas que posiblemente pueda dejarnos con un patrón uh I want to let you know that we have entered into these good faith negotiations. And to get from 12 to 16 homes to 5 represents a great effort on our part.
Thank you. Thank you.
Next. There is no other. There is no more. Puedo entrar con los comentarios del consejo primero o cierro los, puede cerrar los comentarios públicos y después de eso entiendo que ustedes han tenido algunas comunicaciones, entonces quiero dar espacio para eso, si puede compartir cuáles fueron esas comunicaciones y si puede decidir con una mente abierta esta noche. Thank you. I'm going to close the public comments at 7.41 p.m. Now for the dialogue of the council. Yes, Councilor Charette, I would like it to be clarified. It was my understanding that we heard 12, 16, we heard 5, we heard 1. It was my understanding that... The people of Hand Lighting were offered two last time. Not just one, but two. They declined and are now at five. It is my position that they're going to fight this thing until the end. I would move that we approve aria la motion de que aprobemos el proyecto tal como fuera aprobado por la comisión de planeo. Gracias. Cualquier otro comentario, concejal? Si solamente quería tomar la oportunidad, si tuve una junta, la sociedad de Volar con la Delta vino y habló con nosotros en detalle del desarrollo del proyecto, hablaron de la sociedad, y si tomé la oportunidad de conseguir información de los residentes. Y lo que todos aceptan es de que sí quieren que se proceda. Ellos aprecian mucho la sociedad de hand gliding. Una de las cosas que sí mencionaron que tengo que yo notar es de que nadie supo de la hand gliding society antes de este asunto ser presentado. they would have liked to have had more interaction with the city of San Bernardino. which means that a lot of these events brought life. In addition, it was interesting when we were trying to figure out why these events weren't mentioned in advance. And interestingly, the name is Crestline Soaring Society, not San Bernardino Soaring Society. So the opinion of me who wanted to work appreciated the E-Learning Society, I think that they really appreciated the E-Learning Society They were even looking for membership. They were going to visit. They are in favor of this project. I support that motion to approve this matter. Thank you. And I did take the time to go out to see where the hand gliding operation is located.
And I wanted to see for myself the impact of the lots.
excellent recreation that was being given by the city of San Bernardino and you can see how they go from the top of the mountain to the bottom and you can see why it is a unique sport. When I ask the question about the direct impact on the properties of the proposed development, it was expressed to me that it was a lot in the corner that would have the direct impact that would have to y escuchar que el desarrollador comunicara que no solamente iba a ser un lote, pero dos, eso es razonable. Entonces, yo espero que el Consejo considere Entonces, me imagino que el consejo pueda considerar abordar ese lote y tener ese como una opción para proceder. De nuevo, esa es opción del consejo, pero si yo tomé el tiempo para ir por mi propia cuenta y hablar sobre el impacto. Y eso es dentro de, para la recreación que está pasando en nuestra ciudad.
Realmente yo no estoy en contra del desarrollo, pero solamente quiero ver si podemos llegar a una... Okay. Councilor Ortiz, thank you. And thank you for that information. And yes, I suppose that's my question to the developer.
That's all. Something like five and I think it was 327 and one. That's from the corner. That's still an option. Yes, Councilor Ortiz, the Municipal Council, the development and the lawyer of them here would surely be the most suitable to respond to that. And while they come, Mayor Tran, if you want to reopen the audience for the public, yes, I'll reopen it at 7.46 p.m. Thank you, Mayor Honorable. Yes, obviously, the offer is still an option, to change the place of the two lots. If they can't change the place, we lose them. But the only wrinkle to it is the response that was received on Monday night. It also threatened civil litigation against us. So... Si fuéramos a aceptar cambiar lugar, también pedimos que se elimine esa amenaza de litigio. Gracias. Entonces, supongo que mi pregunta es, ¿es ese nuestro problema? Tenemos esta opción, pero ¿es nuestro problema? Si quiere resolver esto ahora, recomiendo que le llame al representante de hand gliding para ver si ellos aceptarían eso. El representante de los hand gliders, ¿podemos hacerle pregunta a ellos? So I guess, here's the question. We have a motion to approve the project in full, or I'm prepared to make a substitute motion to eliminate those two homes. And if you agree, that's fine. And if not, we'll proceed with no house, no home, and no option. Well, that's exactly what we feared. We're not threatening anything. We have a claim to permission. We never wanted to use this form. We wanted to call this in this civic forum rather than in this civic forum. We have a claim to permission. We never wanted to use this form. We wanted to call this in this civic forum But if partially that lot is the most dangerous because it's right in the center, 326 is also on the same level and close to the ground and it's equally dangerous. Lot number one is almost at the top of a 300 foot radius turn. You know, when they offered the two, it could be interchangeable. They leave number one, they can leave 327 and 326. In essence, what we're saying is, we can make the work, we can make the arrangements for this, but the agreement is between the city and Encore. So that doesn't mean or maintaining those prescriptive rights. But that doesn't mean that we're maintaining a threat. That is the only way that we have to hold on to the claim is that that is the only way that we have to hold on to the claim is that that is the only way that we have to hold They made the changes just before presenting the plan. So we can say that we can work on this, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to discard that right that we have to make that prescription claim. Thank you for that. And the city of San Bernardino strictly prohíbe cualquier vuelo o uso de hand gliders en nuestra ciudad. Entonces, ese acceso que se le otorga no da autoridad, si es que lo estoy leyendo correcto, está ofreciendo lo suficiente el suficiente aire para permitir un camino entonces aquí como que todos están dando algo es algo que no permitimos que nunca se ha permitido y se encuentra una triangulación en cuanto a cómo hacer trabajar esto pero si no vamos a ir a dos de tres y nos veremos en el tribunal entonces me equivoco It is correct in its code, hand gliding is prohibited. And I have received confirmation from the personnel that the landing area is owned by the federal government. And the federal government of any level, federal, state, or municipal, there is no right against the government. It is an absolute rule without exception. So respectfully, I disagree with the council that you have given. I also invite you to have the lawyer of the developer have the opportunity to speak. Can I clarify two points? We are not looking for usufruct against the federal state. It is against the private property on our side. And also, did we not resolve the satisfaction of the council regarding the ordinance that the city granted especially for hand gliding. If you count this landing zone for more than 40 years and it has never been executed, and in the last council meeting, It is accepted that most of the flight takes place in the mountains of San Bernardino. Only a very limited amount takes place in the city of San Bernardino. We also remember that we were forced to move from Vermont. Some of these negotiations between the state and the city of San Bernardino and the water resources, something was lost. That area didn't move. If you look at the maps, todavía se ve ahí indicado creo que es rc para recreativo esa zona se debería haber aplicado para para ello pero acaso eso no satisface la ciudad de que se hizo el esfuerzo y que esta área está bien para aterrizar hand gliders señor abogado de las del municipio Si recibí aclaración del personal de que no hay ninguna zona que permite hand gliding. Lo que tiene en el código es prohibido hand gliding en cualquier lugar en la ciudad. También entiendo que en el camino de vuelo, si se imaginara Legos 3, rojo, blanco y azul, Si uno de esos Legos es propiedad privada, no voy a hablar sobre si tuvieran derechos prescriptivos o no. Tienen que tener el derecho de volar por la área de los tres Legos, y uno de esos Legos es sobre la propiedad de la ciudad. Y sabemos de que la ciudad no permite hand gliding. Entonces, con eso, siendo todo igual, ¿ustedes pueden ir al otro para poder...? the developer to be able to ask the questions. Because really, and I think that Councilor Shred and the mayor have done very well with this. So, the lot 1 and 327 is still an option for them and it's still an option for you. Sí, para enfatizar, todavía es disponible si es que no va a haber un litigio civil. Bueno, no podemos. I don't know if I'm correct or not, Mr. Attorney, because we can't tell someone if they have the right to a trial or not. Correct. It's a private dispute. But what he's saying, or his restrictions in his capacity is within our restrictions. That's what he's saying, right? There's no preceptive right in terms of the code that talks about the prohibition of that activity.
Given that,
So my question to you is, given that, do you want to work with those missing two parcels? Do you want to work with those missing two parcels? Do you want to work with those missing two parcels? pidieron que se hiciera el esfuerzo. Si se hizo correctamente o no, yo no puedo responder en cuanto a eso. Pero para mí, parece que la ciudad hizo el esfuerzo por declarar ese espacio como RC. Y recuerde, leímos la ordenancia dos veces la vez pasada y decía que el director de parques de la ciudad tenía que designar una área. Por cualquier razón, eso no pasó. The other thing that didn't happen was when the landing area for the DWR project moved. The area can't move, but it should have been corrected. But I think that basically satisfies the answer, that the city has never gone after any member of the club for flying anywhere. Creo que en ejecución hemos estado claros en la ejecución, pero supongo que lo que estamos diciendo es que como cuerpo podemos estar sentados aquí esta noche y decir, decidí darles todo. Quiero decir que sí tenemos la autoridad y que cualquier cosa antes de eso no aplicaba. A eso voy. I asked the mayor and the council, I asked the staff, they have not received the order that they are mentioning, but let's assume that it does exist. Maybe the zone was allowed at a certain point, but what I can tell you today is that not anymore. So even if it existed, it doesn't do it now. So it's relevant to analyze the problem today, because today's zone doesn't allow it. So, there is no treatment. And we proceed with...
So, my question is...
as if it takes away from us that legal option that we have, because they want us to accept, but we don't have any way of making them responsible for many other things that could happen. The project changes, things move, they change their thinking. So what do we do then? I'm sitting here saying as an individual, not as a CSA president, if I make a promise to them, I'm going to keep it. Now, just taking out two of those homes, it's going to allow a little bit. My advanced pilots like Owen, the gentleman who did it, he can do it. I'm an intermediate. I could be uncomfortable with it. I know that the beginners won't be able to do it. And like I said, I-327 is the worst. And if Encore still the minimums that we would like to take into consideration to whether it's going to be a lot 1, I-326, or I-327, because those two are on the same level as the landing zone with Pasto. But my question is, what assurances do we have which assurance do we have that if we accept this and then we say that we discard any perceptive right of usufruct, we're not going to, we're not going to lose more afterwards. Counselor, can I ask a question? I don't know if I understood your question. What I understood in your conversation with the No, no puedo hacer eso, no. Entonces, aquí está mi pregunta. Here's the triangulation. You said discard it. You say, Mr. City Attorney, you're right. So what's the guarantee? Llegar a un lugar donde se permite el vuelo, se permite el vuelo sobre esa área específica y así. Se ha enmendado para que ellos no lo puedan quitar. No pueden decir, ah, rayos, no lo podemos quitar, vamos a construir casas, ya no pueden volar ahí. Podemos entonces hacerlo un espacio de aire donde se puede volar. If you have in your code, chapter 12.88, it starts with the prohibition. It is illegal to fly with a hand glider anywhere in the city, unless in the places that have been recommended by the director of Parks and Recreation and approved by the mayor and by the council. So they have the authority to create places to do it. So I'm not saying that they have done it, but they have the authority to do it. So they could accept that, eliminate those two houses, and the director of the parks, the director of the city can give us a decision by approving that flight path. We can approve it. That's what we can do. That's what we can do as a body for you. Because if not, right now, the motion that is in play is for them to be granted everything they are asking for. But I didn't go to the law school, but I think someone owes me a title. Thank you. Did you have a comment, counsel? I want to better understand your situation. Yes, because if I understand correctly, we are talking about changing the order for hand gliding for this specific area. No, ma'am, not changing the order.
The order allows you to do so.
Eliminar un espacio para permitir no requiere cambiar la ordenancia solamente como dijo la concejal una resolución una póliza que una política que tenga por escrito un área designada para ello y me gustaría escuchar de los desarrolladores para ver si ellos están dispuestos a And first of all, I would hate to have a continuation. Unfortunately, this is the third time. So what I would like to propose is to add a condition of approval. So that could be something like changing the location of two lots, working with the director of parks and recreation, Are you able to amend your request? I'm a little nervous about that because
porque no tenemos la autoridad que no los puedes demandar a ellos y eso es lo que están pidiendo estoy correcto una disculpa creo que ambos hemos pasado eso y hemos llegado a un compromiso saludable sí pero si los ambos partes pueden estar de acuerdo pero no podemos garantizar qué es lo que va a pasar al futuro y qué es lo que va a pasar más adelante así es que No estoy amendado a eso. Hay que hacer un movimiento sustituto. Yo me gustaría hacer un movimiento sustituto. Amendar el mapa para eliminar las parcelas, las dos parcelas. y en la esquina noroeste y pedirle que el director de parques y recreación solamente le recomiendo decir aprobación de condicionar que tengan la misma oficina si haga eso y con las condiciones de aprobación yo voy a hacerle segundo ese movimiento. Disculpa, alcaldesa y miembros de concejales, gracias. Los que nos gustaría hacer, en vez de eliminar esos lotes, nos gustaría la habilidad para reubicar esos dos lotes y traer eso nuevamente al concejal para aprobación. Y mi segunda aún está... Are you removing your second from Fred or from you? From you. I am in second of your substitute movement. Thank you. There is a substitute movement for member Ortiz and second for member Tan. And if we can read it just for clarity, for the registration, for the council and to call for votes. El movimiento sustituto es para amendar el mapa y reubicar los dos lotes, los cuales 327.1 con aprobación condicional y no tuve la última parte y dirigir al director de parque de recreaciones que puedan dibujar un borrador de resolución para acceso para volar. Reubicarlo. I don't want to make a move because I'm out of it, but do you feel that you can make that adjustment if you allow us to make that move? No están eliminándolo y usted cree que hay movimiento para mover la propiedad? Honestamente, tengo un poco de fe que lo podemos reubicar. Hemos hecho la, solamente elegimos ese lenguaje de reubicarlo. Le dimos la opción. Idealmente es darle continuamiento. OK, es correcto. Sí, OK, gracias. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. porque es un tema muy grande y le agradezco a todos hacer esto y en la ciudad. El movimiento pasa 6 a 1 con el concejal miembro Charette oponiéndose. Gracias. Gracias a ambos partes.

Thank you very much, Mayor Pro Tem. ¿Tenemos alguna petición para hablar con respecto a miembros del público? Tenemos una petición. Jay Whaley. Por favor, pase al podio. Diga su nombre. Tiene tres minutos. Okay, my name is Sai Wei Lin. I am the owner of one of the properties. I have a problem with Convert Tech because if they put two containers in my property, one is a green container and the other is a blue container. And after that, they started to charge me for the services. However, these containers have never stayed in my property. Because every time they put it on, someone will take it. Someone takes it. Entonces, me indico a este, me dirigí con la compañía Vertec con respecto a este tema y se rehusaron a hablar conmigo y este tema realmente nunca se ha resuelto hasta el día de hoy. Y los servicios... for the blue containers and the green containers have never been done and they're still charging me. So I'm here just to propose that those charges be removed from the services. y el servicio de los contenedores de basuro está bien. Yo voy a pagar esa parte de los cargos, de los costos, y esto solamente hablo por mí mismo. Veo la agenda básicamente es sosteniendo ponerle en la propiedad para todas aquellas personas que no lo pagan ese dinero, pero claramente yo tengo que decir que solamente estoy hablando por mí mismo. por los cargos en la propiedad. Es todo lo que necesito que decir. Gracias, caballero. Gracias. Okay. Okay. So he has a question. Is there someone with whom he could speak directly? We know that Vertec is here. But are they going to meet with you? Yes, we are going to follow up with him. Yes, they are going to take care of Mr. Way. There will be a representative who will speak directly with you. So thank you. Thank you. Councilor Figueroa. And this is with what I was going to ask, because usually in the past, individuals were given an opportunity to pay any balance, and I think everything was taken care of. I think the representative of Vertec is here in the lobby and is available to take any payment today. And the public can be public until July 31st to be able to avoid this in their property. Okay, that would be all. Thank you, thank you, Councilor. Move to approve. If there is a move by a client, Ortiz, is there a second? Yes, I'll make a second. Councilor Ibarra makes a second. Please call for votes. Councilor Sanchez, yes. Councilor Ibarra, yes. Councilor Fierroa, yes. Councilor Charette, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Mayor and Councilor, thank you for allowing me to give an update. First of all, the project of the city, Companionism with Southern California, opened today. The 120 out of 140 units for men experiencing homelessness or low income are already occupied. As for the LSSC, the 70 beds that the albergue already has, I would like to proudly say that the city has named Luis Protillo as its Director of Economic Development. Potrillo has more than 20 years of experience in economic development, regional partnerships, as well as public policies, and with the Executive Chief of the Valley of San Gabriel. He also graduated from Cal State San Bernardino and has also worked in the economic partnership of Inland Empire. I want to welcome you to San Bernardino. En cuanto a los fuegos artificiales en Forzones, resulta que preliminares han forzado que muestra una nueva ordenanza, drones y vigilación en cuanto al periodo de fechas festivas. En cuanto al 2026, tuvimos 296 llamadas en cuanto a que merece. Tuvimos 43 citaciones en contra de 11. Arrestos de felonías, 8 en contra de 6. Tuvimos 25, 878 libras de... . . . . . 39 citations la noche de, y 57 deploymentos de drones. Esos números, lo que viene siendo el departamento policiaco va a evaluar lo que había en los drones. Entonces, hacer una citación adicional puede subir a 100, casi 100. could answer that, or someone from the police department could answer that? Is that possible? Yes, it is possible. Okay, my question is, each one of these, these are not counting the 39. The 39 were quotes or penalties that night, but the drones, They came from someone who called and said, hey, there are illegal fireworks. Not all of them are quotes. That is how many times the drone was used that night. There may be additional quotes based on those displacements, but we didn't know until we had all the information. It's important to know because we are tracking the first numbers of the year. This is how the drones work and this is how we can separate the numbers. I don't think it's the police department. I think it's the city's penal department, which are granted but not collected. We're going to give you a follow-up on the connections and if the police department has anything to do with it or just the city. All of that is the city. Okay, your part is already finished. Very good. So, out of the 501 calls answered, this is where they all come from. As for the felonies arrested, they came from the calls. My question is, all the data is included here. Did you see any felonies arrested that had nothing to do, all of this related to fireworks? Here it is that the drone things have proven that a great addition of this year against last year. How did your team feel about using the drone? We feel that it was a very busy night, but in general we see some positive objects of the use of the drone, but there is a lot that we have to refine. We still need more drones. This was only a This is an attempt, an approval, but we hope that this continues to give evidence. This is wonderful, okay, for the mayor of the city. And at the level of 10,000 feet, it would be wonderful to start with the chief of police to be able to create a procedure plan on how to improve. how to make them feel good and how we are implementing it every year. Those numbers are wonderful. Thank you, Chief of Police. Thank you, City Manager. Thank you, Police Department. Okay, continuing what the new channels and areas of players have been, in the shelter animals, which includes additional cages and an updated yard to play. It brings the total numbers to 274, which will reduce overpopulation. The game board has artificial games and shadow structures, as well as agility and pool games. And finally, the Love Block Round 2 is going to start this year. La semana pasada comenzaron a recibir los fondos para el proyecto, lo cual la mayoría están en el lado oeste de la ciudad. Y en cuanto son Girl Scouts locales, 134, 1,134 que se van a acompañar con la Troop 1419 para construir una pequeña librería gratuita y que van a conectar con el pasado en la avenida Mount Vernon. With that, I'm going to finish, and I want to thank you for letting me introduce myself. Thank you, City Manager. Now, let's go to the public comments. Right now, we're going to listen to the public comments on the open and the unopened agendas. Cualquiera orador publico que quiera hablar necesita poner las tarjetas aceptadas. Cualquier persona debería de indicar sus nombres para el registro antes de comenzar los comentarios. Por favor, tenemos dos para su conveniencia. Please proceed to each one. Please indicate, know that your name is going to be called only once, and if you don't introduce yourself, you're going to lose the opportunity to speak. We're going to give you follow-up. If you require interpretation, please raise your hand for interpretation assistance. Also, in the additional, we have interpretation devices. We have 16 public comments today. Please indicate your name. You have three minutes. Hello, how are you? Good evening, Mayor and Councilor. I just want to start by asking for these. This is a free pen that you have in front of you. It's a pen that you use every day, but a pen like this is a powerful tool. And it wasn't an accident. It was created by these feathers that were given to us 50 years ago. We didn't get into a crisis, but they wrote to us with a crisis. The work is established by the federals that they sign in terms of housing funds and in terms of school housing without the community and in terms of zoning But what is unacceptable is what is happening right now. Instead of taking accountability, governments are using these pens to write quotations that are really about public safety. But we have to look at the facts. Statistics show that 90% of our finances and our community is committed by people in housing. Asi es que porque estamos dirigiéndonos a las personas que tienen menos para poder decirle a alguien que tengan que utilicen las plumas y ahora vamos a utilizar las plumas para que les puedan otorgar una es una es una You only do that because
We can't change hundreds of years of agreements, but we can change how we respond now. Use feathers to fix your mistakes. We have to... apoyar iniciativas que restauran dignidad humana, lo cual nuestros residentes necesitan. Dejen de tratar esto como que es una tragedia sin solución. Tomen paso afuera y encargan a las personas al hacer el trabajo para arreglar esto, porque todos somos personas. Deberíamos ser tratados así, sin importar cómo vivan o si no quedan en el molde. Hay diferentes personas. Eso es lo que da vuelta al mundo. No causamos esto. Esto pasó a través de los años. and we're not responsible for it. The government does, and everyone is a part of it. The whole government had it. So we have to fix it, but stop condemning the people who affected it. Thank you. Next, please say your name. You have three minutes. Hello, my name is Dominic Gutierrez. I just want to thank you for the opportunity to speak today and thank you to all the audience. I want to talk about the golf course, Shannon Hills. Thank you for the money, for the networks. It's important for the kids to be safe playing there. The kids are doing well and golf is popular. I wanted to invite you to the whole council, the 25th, to play with us. We've been communicating it to the community and we're all excited. We know that either it's the responsibility of the previous council or if golf is a rare activity, not rare but not common, the grass was ignored. So we don't want this resource to be lost. It's something good for the kids and everyone else to do. Creo que más temprano, Dr. Ortiz, usted dijo algo de sentido común y poder ver a las prostitutas allá en la calle. Yo vivo en la calle G. Yo manejo por ahí todo el tiempo. Llevo a mis niños, mis niños preguntar, ¿qué es eso? ¿Qué está pasando acá? Y entonces yo siento que hay casi como un sentido de ya sea ignorancia o no estar dispuesto a ver lo que está pasando en el campo de golf. Tengo un artículo donde está... The grass is very green and they say things look good for Shannon Hills, but since then, since that article, things don't look good. Arrowhead Country Club looks better and better every day. I've seen Kimberly Noss, I've seen the mayor, I've seen Mr. Charette, everyone in Arrowhead. I've never seen them in Shannon. And it's the city's field. I've seen Parks and Recreation. I don't see any event happening in the golf field. And it seems to be ignorance of the situation, or they simply don't know about golf, or they don't know it exists, or you are freely ignoring what is happening. There are still properties of government cars in Arrowhead. So the Shannon Hills team is still in Arrowhead. There are employees' checks that are not being paid. pagando. A las personas les encanta trabajar en Shen Hills, les encanta la comunidad de la que forman y hasta tienen temen de que no van a tener un campo de golf porque parece que hay una decisión deliberada de ignorar lo que está pasando y el conflicto de intereses que está surgiendo. Yo no quiero pelearme con o hacer menos a nadie pero quiero invitarlos a todos al a campo, pero no necesitan una orden judicial para ir al campo. Pueden manejar por Arrowhead y ver la comparación y ver lo que le ha dado ese contrato a Shannon. Gracias. Solamente quiero hacer un comentario. Usted dijo que no ha estado ahí. Yo acabo de estar ahí con usted el domingo. Usted sí. Yo quiero sí agradecer. Gracias, señor. Tiene tres minutos. Me llamó Al. Alcaldesa, gerente, miembros de concejal, estoy escribiendo papeles para, un papel será la misión para el futuro. Será espectacular, incluyendo cambios de zona. El otro papel va a ser registros de nuestra historia. Por ejemplo, el motel Oasis. He was the owner of Jim Arnett's ex-wife from the television series Gunsmoke. Another actor attended with me in our class in 1967. He was the leading actor in Miami Vice. The Nixxas brothers were such a good dancing team Dorothy Danders was later married to June Johnson. Her house in Maricopa Center Drive is now the property of the New Hope Baptist Church. The daughter was my childhood friend. When Mr. Nunez escaped from Mexico, representantes de la iglesia estaban siendo asesinados, se ofreció reemplazar el... Se estaba celebrando 100 años con Ruta 66. El año pasado, Carmen, la hermana de Carmen Rodriguez, nuestra recipiente de medalla de honor de Mount Vernon, yo y otros hijos e hijas dedicaron Una ceremonia original.
Quiero...
Welcome, new director of economic development. I'll be honest with you, I'm disappointed. I've tried for 50 years to share my vision for San Bernardino. I'm going to be communicating with you, I'm going to continue sharing my ideas with the staff. And I hope you take the time to listen to me, because rebuilding San Bernardino is a full-time job. We have an excellent city manager, but that's a full-time job. for the city and I'm going to challenge him as always I will continue challenging this week I attended a funeral of Judith Byers she was so kind to me with me it would be before it was Thank you. Next, please declare your name and you have three minutes. Good afternoon. My name is Omar Williams and I'm here because I want to publicly support Virginia Marquez for advice municipal the majority of my campaign is to work with people of another opinion or those who do not agree with you in my opinion she does that and I want to make sure that I publicly support her I also want to tell you again that she believes in as to and take care of the city in a way that benefits the city. I also think that in terms of working with people, that means having uncomfortable conversations. And she and I have had those conversations. I'm also willing to work with people who don't necessarily agree with me. I've been doing everything within my ability to present myself to everyone that I possibly can find. And whether it's presenting myself And she has done that with me. And I appreciate that and I value that a lot. And I suppose that what I want to say is, so that we can fix San Bernardino, We're going to have to be able to have those uncomfortable conversations with people that we don't like, that we don't agree with, or whatever the case may be, and find out what the situation, what the problems we have would be, and move forward and do things this year, the next year, and so on. making sure that we can all win, because in the end, that's all we want, right? Or at least that's what we say. So it's time to make sure that we address that and make sure that the center is fixed sooner rather than later. Me gustaría que el centro sea algo como lo que tiene Ontario o Rialto. Y creo que ella puede ayudarnos a que lleguemos a ese lugar. Esto es lo que tengo para decir. Gracias por su tiempo.
Gracias. Siguiente, por favor. Tiene tres minutos. Diga su nombre.
Dolores Armstead. Y de hecho, yo tengo dos positivos. Primero, quiero decir gracias a Parks and Rec. Ellos han hecho una presentación a un grupo de comunidad ayer. Y fue interesante ver cuántos programas tienen para la juventud y para los residentes. Gracias. Consejo, gracias. Pero gracias a Parks and Rec por lo que presentaron. Fue muy valioso conocer. Y gracias al consejo por la decisión del número tres esta noche. Qué bueno que no fueron intimidados por ese abogado. ustedes son buenos fue encomiador que ese proyecto no se permitirá. Tengo una pregunta para usted. McDonald's ha regresado. ¿Quieren apelar otra vez? Fueron rechazados por el planeo. Hubieron ciudadanos quienes vinieron y hablaron contra de Slush Burger. El consejo los rechazó. Entonces, ¿por qué están apelando otra vez? This is a question that you already know, but why appeal again, unless the corporation told them that they will return and get that property. But why if we reject it, we don't need another, we want a new development, we want something where you can sit well, not another garbage food. And another thing, when are we going to return our property? Mike Hartley. I always know what I'm going to say before I get here and then I read the agenda during the day. Y ya cuando llego aquí, ustedes siempre mencionan algo que simplemente me prende el culo y se me olvida lo que voy a hablar. En este hotel, para la siguiente vez que tenga yo que hablar con, escuchar a un abogado por 20 minutos, escuchar su pura basura, quiero que me den comida también. Nunca he escuchado a un abogado hablar así. pura basura. Ese hotel es uno de muchos en San Bernardino. Muchos que se ven así. Las tiendas se ven así. Las tiendas del licor se ven así. Es San Bernardino. Hay que limpiarlo. ¿Cómo lo limpiamos? Pues creo que lo limpiamos por ejecución de código. Y lo que realmente me molesta de estas cosas constitucionales, ya saben lo que voy a decir, era una palabra de cuatro letras. A police officer enters a place and sees something. That can cost someone their life. Maybe he wasn't called to that, but if he didn't say something and it burned down and people died, I guarantee you, a good lawyer is going to So, for me, the police did what they should have done and they called the code because they saw it. And to see it, that's all the lawyer is going to say, if they saw it. So, I'm not an electrician, but when I saw those pictures, I knew something was wrong. It's the most trashy job I've ever seen in my life. And I'm sure if you saw the electrical boxes, everything is overloaded, ready for a fire. So, that doesn't work. What we're going to talk about is McDonald's. What I want to talk about is McDonald's. As far as McDonald's, they do their job. Ellos no van a cualquier lugar donde vayan a fracasar. Entonces, obviamente, ellos han hecho sus estudios. Ellos han pagado el dinero para hacer los estudios. Y luego, ¿quién les sigue a ellos? Pues otras tiendas de comida rápida. Porque saben que McDonald's han hecho lo que necesitan. Pero si alguien quiere poner algo en brick y baseline, dejen que lo haga. Porque baseline sí se ve como un país de terceros. Y ahora tenemos la calle 40 viéndose como un país testemundista. Hora siguiente, por favor, diga su nombre. Tiene tres minutos. Solamente tres minutos. Tengo tanto que decir. Una cosa es, me llamo Luis Ojeda. Gracias por la oportunidad de hablar esta noche. Y quiero preguntarles esto a todos, respetuosamente, Who had the smart idea of having 10 public hearings tonight? Do you have any respect or consideration for the public? I'm fine. I can be here all night. But there are people who need to go to work tomorrow. They go to work, they want to come, make a comment, go home. But online and continue. So I would ask you guys respectfully, be more considerate of the public, that they don't get paid to come here and express our opinions to you. So please consider that the next time you do this. I want to talk to you guys about Encanto Park. Encanto Park in my mind has been for months in my mind, and I've talked to the current council, with the city manager, with the community residents, and finally, after five years, it was eliminated. It burned five years ago, it was removed a few weeks ago, and I thank the manager for that. The only thing I want to ask everyone is not to wait five years to put another one. Please, that community is needed. Also, El Campo de Golf de Shannon Hills. La concejal Canaz se comunicó conmigo para trabajar y ver si podemos revivir a este lugar. Y dado que somos el cambio, estamos planeando hacer el cambio. Entonces, quiero invitarle a todos que sean sinceros de querer hacer lo bueno y cambiar este lugar. Una cosa que le quiero decirle al público, este campo le pertenece a la ciudad. is pertenencia de la ciudad y eso es un ejemplo claro de por qué las ciudades o los gobiernos no deberían ser dueños de nada porque no saben cómo operarlo entonces o lo van a operar bien mantenerlo bien o deshacerse de él esa es mi opinión because it's embarrassing the way it is. I went there and it was very bad. So, also, talking about McDonald's, I want to support that because if someone has the moral authority to talk about Baseline, it would be me. I have cleaned the highway to Waterman several times and it's very bad. We should pay McDonald's if they're willing to go there and open another restaurant. So, please, approve that. Thank you. Bien, gracias. Siguiente tiene tres minutos. Mary Trans, concejal y comunidad. Yvette Romero. Resident of World One. In fact, resident in the Baseline. So, I think I have the authority to say what is happening in the Baseline and in Sierra. So, why are we here talking again about McDonald's? The leaders of the community came before you. We present computer science of economic development, your own environmental scan that the city made and the general plan of San Bernardino with Maluso's plan, some Spacios comerciales tambien. Les trajimos la Senadora Reyes y presentamos que eso era para algo más. Que no se les olvide que ellos quieren, el solicitante quiere construir lo que no está aprobado por estar ahí. Hay muy pocos cosas que la comunidad puede hacer. Se ha seguido el proceso, se ha dependido de las políticas y los hechos. Lo que me preocupa más no es el desacuerdo porque el desacuerdo saludable es parte del buen gobierno. Lo que me preocupa es las planes de la ciudad, las recomendaciones de la división de planes y todos los líderes de comunidad, todos indican a una dirección y todavía creemos que todavía queda un diálogo importante. If we have evidence that simply adding other mectanas is not good for San Bernardino, why then do we want to leave the view that the city had planned? The community has the right to that answer. We do not ask them to create a new view. It is asked to continue according to what has already been decided. Y alcalde Tran, usted dijo en la última junta que se juntó con McDonald's. Nosotros hemos estado tratando de juntarnos con ustedes desde marzo. Y para hablar, el Launchpad, el desarrollo que acaba de comenzar la semana pasada, y el espacio de Baseline, le hemos pedido participar en nuestro belonging a través de... Y todavía no hemos recibido una respuesta. We would appreciate it if you would treat our meeting, your citizens, with the same importance that I gave you. Thank you. Next three minutes. Buenas tardes, Consejal Rubén Mendoza, residente. Y desafortunadamente, yo estoy aquí para hablar de McDonald's. Yo no estoy aquí para compartir más informática. Ya tuvimos tres para hacerlo antes de esta. Pero lo que sí estoy aquí para decir es antecedente de uso de terreno y cómo nuestros líderes deben responsabilizar un paso, un camino hacia adelante. Adequate and since it has been talked about in terms of multitudes, first you have to start saying no and also responsibility not only falls on the community but also on the council. I hope that the council also feels that way today and that the colleagues share it if it is the case. But today we are not voting on anything. Having a discussion about what was presented by Councilor Flores, 300 years of ownership within a distance of 1,000 feet, more than the requirement of 500 feet. The last time we were here, the individual who was only knocking on 10 to 15 doors, but no one answered. The communication protocol was followed and we also took charge in the form of an organization to alert the community. And there was interaction of more than 6,000 videos through different It was also said that this complied with the development code and seemed to use a property not fully used. no se puede determinar de que un McDonald's haría verse mejor el lugar. Theodore Sanchez, usted y yo tuvimos un, cree que necesitamos McDonald's porque está vacío. Sí, lo vacío sí es un problema, pero la mentalidad es de que algo es mejor que nada es exactamente lo que resulta en usted perder su lugar en las elecciones primarias. Ustedes tienen que ponerse serios y ser responsables en el desarrollo. Solamente porque McDonald's aquí está no quiere decir que tenemos que aceptarlos hoy ni nunca. Buenas tardes. uh, alcalde o consejo, les pido que no consideren McDonald's. La comunidad vino, dijeron que no lo quieren. La comisión de planeo también dijo que no es buena idea. Ustedes también no deberían aprobar. Ustedes no aprobaron la apelación. Entonces espero que no cambien sus votos. This would be our ninth McDonald's. Why do we need a ninth McDonald's when we already have eight? Our city, on one side, doesn't have as many. I know it's not as big as our city, but that's what I wanted to say. Thank you. The next one has three minutes. Thank you, Mayor. My name is Victor Gonzalez. Vice President of West Coast Arborist, I'm here to express our gratitude for your consideration this afternoon in the tree maintenance contract that will be presented to you under the consent calendar. We have been an associate, proud of the city for several years, providing tree care services in a variety of ways, either maintenance or emergency work and cleaning. More timely tonight, We had our employees here. In consideration of the time of the start of the work, I asked them to go home, to drink water. They work in hot conditions, but they are still workers, proud workers, and workers Están bajo el loco 783. También son residentes locales. Solamente me les acerco para expresarles mi gratitud por su consideración y si tienen más preguntas, estaría más que dispuesto a contestárselas. Siguiente, por favor, diga su nombre. Tres minutos. Good afternoon, Robert Carrillo, President of San Bernardino, proudly. Article 34, a month ago, less than a month ago, this council heard testimony, you already heard it, and from 4 to 3, they denied the appeal. Now I have 10 questions. Question 1, what has changed materially in less than 30 days? Pregunta 2. ¿Cuáles nuevas pruebas existen hoy que no existían cuando el Consejo tomó la decisión? Pregunta 3. Si nada ha cambiado materialmente, ¿por qué son las personas de San Bernardino puestas para... La concejal Ortiz dijo que dijéramos algo más que solamente decir no, aceptamos ese reto. La semana pasada nos encontramos con el desarrollador de bienes raíces en mi oficina y hablamos sobre una alternativa para este lugar. Entonces no podemos hacer esto. Pregunta cuatro, ¿acaso no es como se debería verse la interacción de comunidad valiosa? Ahora déjale, digo de primera mano, en julio 14, 2025, en una junta en persona la alcalde de trend dijo que votamos se iba atrás a darse a este lugar no que ella esperaba o que quizás iba a pasar pero ella habló como si ya se había decidido luego en el día que la audiencia de el consejo antes de votar, un individuo presentado como el consultor del alcalde Tran vino a mi oficina y le dijo a mi equipo, ya estuvo, McDonald's va a salirse con la suya que estábamos gastando nuestro tiempo. The mayor's consultant said that the municipal interaction was a waste of time. It's good that the council proved that prediction wrong, but here we are again. Question 5. Why did someone outside of this place have so much certainty before having voted for the council? I want to know who attended the meetings between the representatives and the leadership teams. These meetings were publicly announced after the council informed them that they would announce it. Six, is who attended? Seven, what was discussed? Eight, this process can be investigated and why not allow it? And question nine, when is the voice of the final community? And ten, if someone with many resources can return after losing, what can we expect people to think about this process? Thank you. Thank you. Proceeding to Disculpe, tenemos un comentario por Zoom también. Sara tiene tres minutos. Sara, tiene tres minutos. Please unmute yourself. Por favor, prenda su micrófono. Creo que está prendido. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Retirarme de ello porque mi empleo tiene asociación con ello. Entonces, yo no puedo estar asociado. Si puedo, yo... Hola. Entonces, yo quería reconocer la aceptación de... Podemos dejarla que hable. Hola, buenas tardes. ¿Me pueden escuchar? Sí, procedo. Sí, tiene tres minutos. Gracias. Sara, quería... Reconocer SB 707, el cual requiere que las agencias de gobierno de acceso de audio y visual y gracias por los quienes representan al estado para apoyarlo. Entiendo que ese es un paso en la dirección correcta y entiendo que San Bernardino no decidió implementar eso por su propia cuenta. Todavía creo que este cambio representa progreso significativo.
Ahora que la comunidad está participando en las reuniones de concejales para los acomodos de ADA y asegurarnos que los individuales con discapacidades tienen accesos equitativos a compromisos específicos. Es un paso importante para poder hacer estas reuniones más accesibles para todos. Por supuesto, siempre hay campo para mejoras. Le recomiendo a la ciudad que pueda continuar viendo maneras para que nuestros residentes con discapacidades, con dificultades de acceso tecnológico puedan participar. In the case of transparency, I would also like to draw attention to the difficulties of obtaining public records. There should be no degree, no challenge of obtaining them, and there should be a reason to be able to grant them with an intervention. I have made numerous requests to obtain an intervention for no reason. I see that the follow-up to the agenda Thank you, I appreciate it. Thank you very much, thank you. There is no other public speaker. Thank you. Returning to the consent calendar, did Counselor Sanchez have a call? No, no call. Counselor Ortiz, only 12, 20, and 32. Okay, 12, 20, and 32 for you, Councilor Figueroa. None, Councilor Flores. No polls, but I'm going to abstain from object number 15 because I have a conflict of interest. Because I have a community partner with the County of San Bernardino, Councilor Hatcherette. Thank you. There is a motion to approve the balance. I'll give you a second. Thank you. Okay, let me read the motion to approve. Councilor Ortiz, second by Councilor Flores. Thank you. Councilor Sanchez. Yes. Councilor Ibarra. Yes. Oh, in fact, wait a minute. I also need to, for the registration, to pay for the object number 17 to pay contributions. Thank you. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Solamente, mientras le damos continuamiento, tomarle, distinguir a todos que tomaron parte de las elecciones y mientras certificamos, tenemos una más para noviembre y le queremos agradecer a la oficina de la Secretaria de la Ciudad y hemos escuchado muchos comentarios buenos que se puedan comunicar con usted y que has contestado las preguntas. Gracias por eso y apruebo su movimiento. Thank you, there is a movement. Councilor Sanchez, there is a second. Votes, please. Councilor Sanchez, yes. Councilor Ibarra, yes. Councilor Figueroa, yes. Councilor Charette, yes. Mayor, Mayor of Pretend Canal, yes. Councilor Flores, yes. Councilor Ortiz, yes. The movement passes unanimously. Thank you, Councilor. The object, the topic number 20, I think my question is... So based on Baseline, Highland and E Street, they are very important and I know they don't qualify. And most of the areas and specifically in the center, there are $200,000 that are being given to the resource center. How can we guarantee that we can use this? Because there are businesses that really want to be part of this. So my concern is We are relinking the funds and they will have their designation or we can really put in contact with the businesses that need it. We are closed to just being in the main offices of the center or there are specific places. The person, I'm not very sure that if you want to talk, I'm going to talk about part of it. Part of it is stipulated to be for the end of this year. And for time purposes, I don't think we have enough funds to be stipulated in the way of the SUB program. So we want to be sure to use those funds. to be able to do a project that already receives funds through ARPA, because it already has to be a project that already receives funds from ARPA. And that's where we're transferring it. She can definitely answer her question regarding the FASAD program and why we need to move it from there. to be able to answer some of your questions. We are still focusing on the businesses and the runners that have already been identified as part of the program and relinking the funds does not necessarily mean that we have opened up the other runners. We are based under the federal lines and still exhausted in the program. If we continue to give them years in the future with the same program, We can obtain the barriers wherever we want. We are still identifying the corridors, but we have realized that through an internal audit, we cannot expand the rest of the funds that we have in the program before the deadline because we have to have businesses committed to the funds so that they can make their improvements. Now a project obtains the $200,000. The ERC, which was previously granted through ARPA, we assigned it internally because it was already existing in the program of funds. But if we distribute the funds that we have, we have granted them ERC 200,000, which allows them to help businesses in our city and help in the area. They can help through other businesses outside the corridor. no fuera del corredor identificado actualmente en el programa? ¿Solamente pueden ayudar? Creo que esa es mi pregunta. Si ellos pueden gastar el dinero o pueden expandir el dinero, pero solamente a negocios dentro del corredor, ¿por qué no hicimos eso nosotros? Déjame aclararlo. Si el programa FASAD y el ERC son separados y funcionamientos separados, no van a ser de que ellos relativamente designan los fondos dentro del programa FASAD. Actualmente tenemos el programa FASAD I understand that, but... Estamos tomando de la mejora del programa de mejoramiento y se lo estamos dando al centro de recursos de negocios para que no hagan eso, sino programaciones sin funciones. solamente deseo. Mi pregunta es, ¿tenemos que darle dinero a alguien para algo que no pudimos hacer? ¿Cómo lo vamos a hacer? ¿Solamente estamos aliviándonos de ceder $200,000? We lost them. We didn't want to lose the ability to use the funds in general, but we're not using them there. But it's still a city program. It's founded by previous city designations. But instead of giving the funds to the federal government at the end of the program, Nosotros elegimos a reubicar esos $200,000 para programas existentes que ya han sido fundados por ARPA para que continúen trabajando y no perder ninguno de los fondos. Si entiendo, pero creo que solamente es frustrante que no podemos encontrar otro lugar para depositar los $200,000 dado la necesidad del centro. Creo que usted y yo ya hemos tenido esta plática o esta conversación en el pasado. When I continue and see Lewis, who is our man who goes to the north, we have to see things that are advantageous. But really, if we are seeing improvements, we realized that the center is not the place to do it, but you have places in Highland, in Baseline, and in E Street, and in Waterman Avenue, that everyone is looking for an opportunity. That's my comment. I give the motion to approve. Is there a second? Yes, thank you. Second by Councilor Sanchez. Councilor Sanchez, yes. Councilor Ibarra. Councilor Figueroa, yes. Councilor Charette, yes. Mayor Pratt-Cannon, yes. Councilor Flores, yes. Councilor Ortiz, yes. The motion passes unanimously. Mayor. On topic number 15, for the calendar of consent, member Flores was second for this, but she refused. If anyone can be the second for this update? Yes, second. Thank you. Okay, muchísimas gracias, concejal. Ya son las 9.10. Si nos permite, solamente necesitamos que el concejal, si pasamos de las 10, si lo necesitas. Yo hago movimiento, yo hago las segundas. Okay, hay un movimiento y hay una segunda. Miembro Sánchez, sí. Miembro Ibarra, sí. Concejal Figueroa, sí. Councilor Charette, Mayor for Tim Knauss. Yes. Councilor Flores. Yes. Councilor Ortiz. Yes. The motion passes unanimously. Thank you, Councilor. Thank you for item number 32. I have concerns about this. I have heard absolutely nothing but complaints regarding Will Dent. And I think we have to evaluate what we're doing here, especially in terms of the cost of $700,000 to the city, the cost of $700,000 to the city. And I really want, I don't think, I think we need to look elsewhere. And I think we have to do it now. I think I reject, I'm going to make a move to reject this. para que nos podamos hacer la ingeniería a prueba. Si pudieras darme un minuto. Ya estamos fuera de. Councilor Ortiz and Councilor Sanchez, I request that you give us six months or an extension of six months or a year, but my concern is that you do not give us an extension. You have heard complaints from World Dam, but another option is that we will not have any staff outside of Consum to do the development that could delay the project, that if at least you could give us an extension of six months or a year. Entonces me gustaría hacer movimiento de una extensión de seis meses y una evaluación de productividad y qué proyectos son los que están haciendo, cuáles son los tiempos y cuáles son los que están saliendo en la ciudad antes de llegar a algo aquí. No para exceder tres millones y medio durante el curso. Necesitamos una evaluación de productividad Quiero hacer, si es amendable, una extensión de seis meses, si pudieran revisar nuevamente con nosotros en cuanto a los proyectos, la productividad. Gracias. Concejal Ortiz, para ese efecto, hay un movimiento substituto. Voy a darle segundo, pero podemos amendarlo para otro RP y poder ver que otros buffets de ingeniería están ahí. Sí, sí, podemos hacer eso. Entonces, abrir el RFP, el RFP. Si hay un movimiento, ¿me pudieran permitir hablar? Déjenme presentarle para Oliver, quien es el gerente de ingeniería civil. Este proceso, hemos pasado el proceso para revisar los RFPs. Como pueden ver el reporte del personal, le entiendo, pero le estoy diciendo... No estoy recibiendo ningún comentario en Weldon. Así es que entiendo que han aplicado, pero solo porque han aplicado no significa que son los mejores candidatos. Así es que háganme un favor, regresen en seis meses y denos un reporte de lo que están haciendo. Definitely, we can do that if you want. As for the RFP, they did compete against other good companies, Veritas, TK Engineering, and they were the most qualified. We have reviewed in terms of vigorous time. I understand. I'm just telling you, I understand, but I'm not receiving good comments. So they can take it. That's why I'm saying, if they give us the results, because everything I hear is, no one is available, someone is on vacation, or they don't respond. These concerns are expressed. Consult these concerns and review again in six months. Tell us what your labor product is, what is available, because this is $700,000 with a term of three years, with an extension of two years. We want a good work product, a good labor product, and just because you know someone has been a problem. It seems that a six-month extension comes with a report, shows the data, and the advisor can approve the contract to continue with those approving data. That's what the advisors want to see. They want to see the performance. And if the performance, if the data is seen, then the advisor will proceed with the contract. It's not a big deal. It's six months back. There's a movement for that. There's a second one for that. Just to clarify the movement, now I understand. We're going to approve it for six months. But my question is, we've already reviewed the process, an extensive process. We've worked with Wunden for a long time. They're a big company. They have a good reputation, I think. En esos periodos de seis meses, ustedes pueden determinar y quizás hacer una encuesta de los desarrollos, qué tipo de comentarios están recibiendo ustedes. Un miembro concejal está recibiendo quizás información de uno o de dos o cinco, pero quizás hay 300 desarrolladores ahí y los otros 295 están perfectamente bien. So I would like to hear from you, from those who work in a daily basis. What we're probably going to do is when a plan review check, we're going to continue a timer and we're going to see how long it takes to respond, how long it takes to return the plans, in the developers and have that naturalness to be able to tell them, hey, on average, it takes five or seven days to return, even though people are on vacation, which obviously people take vacation, it can go from five to six days. So who determines the time? Four, five, six days, because if you give them five, Eso no es suficiente, van a querer cuatro. Y si les das cuatro, eso no es suficiente, vas a querer tres. Sé cómo funciona la comunidad de negocios y los desarrolladores quieren el doble. Están dispuestos a pagar el doble para tenerlo rápido. What is required is 15 days, which is three weeks. As long as they are within that time frame, they are within the requirement, which I don't think we can penalize them. But if they are going through that for five days or six days, you can go against the base and show that they are doing a proper job, and those are the data we are looking for. Okay, of course, there is nothing that can be compared, only against them, because the others will not have the same opportunity to say what you are saying 15 days, but I can do it in 14 days, because I would love to hear that. We have the RFP processes, and I think there are eight in total that qualify. Of the eight that qualify, Welldone was the best. They competed against other people. Now, exceptionally, what they are doing is competing against the contract, and if they meet the requirements of the contract, I don't know why remove them from it. ¿Están satisfechos con una extensión de seis meses para poder no tirar a un mono al rancho en ese proceso? Si no nos dan seis meses, vamos a estar en problemas. ¿Crees que pudieras tener un análisis bueno durante un periodo de seis meses? Sí, creo que sí. and return it to us? Yes, I think so. And for any reason, if it is not possible, we can extend that nature for six months and we can continue with that. Perfect. Thank you, Councilor. Thank you, City Manager. Very good. Councilor Tram and Councilor Ortiz. We have, I would say, six months, and we can have the price, and I think 350 would be half of the year. A contractual agreement of 350, because my concern is that if we reach that limit, we can do that revision. One more reason to be diligent and make sure that we have finished it on time. Si entiendo las preocupaciones, solamente quiero asegurar que no creamos nuevos proyectos si nos excedamos más de la mitad en los siguientes cinco meses. Sorry, it's also not to be exceeded. So you can leave the amount at $700,000, not to be exceeded, and only six months. I recommend if you don't get to six months, if you receive the analysis, the report before, you can return to be able to take care of that before or after. Sorry, Mayor, I just don't want everyone to sit down Thank you. This is for the staff. Will it be possible for us to ask Wilton to make a 24-hour turn to review the plans? Ustedes dijo 15 días hábiles, los cuales son tres semanas. ¿Tardan tres semanas para poder hacer la revisión del plan? Dependiendo de la extensión del plan, ¿ese es el tiempo legal? Sí, ese es el tiempo contractual. That's why our city is lagging behind. Because we have consultants and contractors that when they have the opportunity, they're going to hire them. And so we don't have to function in our city because we're losing development to another city because they're very fast. And if we're going to renew the contract with them, I would like them to perform quickly. Because unless it's an engineer that we're hiring for $700,000, Si pudieras encargarte de mencionarles que necesitan que responder rápido, no las tres semanas porque es mucho tiempo. Gracias. Alcaldesa Procter. Creo que la mayoría se conferiza en cuanto al desempeño de los contratos que tenemos dentro de la ciudad. Yo misma me he traído preocupaciones en cuanto a las several times in a year and seven months that I am a person of the councilor. I agree with the councilor Ortiz, but we really need to have more conversation with respect to the city's expectations Continuamente hablamos con alzar los estandartes, pero como yo convertirme de una persona concejal, he mandado fotografías de que literalmente estaba conduciendo un vehículo, un vendedor, del cual realmente estaba destruyendo... Thank you. Any other comments? Mayor, could you clarify? The movements are Councilor Ortiz with a second from Councilor Ibarra. Councilor Ibarra also asked for an RFP. I think we need to amend it because at this point it is an extension with not exceeding the amount and returning it to the councilor prior to the six-month period. to be able to do the evaluation report at that time so that they can review the approval of the contract. Perfect. Counselor Sanchez? Yes. Counselor Ibarra? Yes. Counselor Figueroa? Yes. Counselor Charette? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And that was a project of $250,000. It was effective in the cost because the lights are still working. I'm trying to find out, according to what I'm seeing here, one of the ones that was granted. They have more than half a million to be able to install ultimate posts. They are installing new lights where they are going to go, where there are no chandeliers. o podemos remover esa línea y poder poner candelabros porque tenemos candelabros en toda la ciudad. No necesitamos nuevos postes porque son mucho dinero. Solamente quiero averiguarme de cuántas calles estamos hablando cuando están aprobando esto porque para mí es una propuesta al azar del que estamos dando y con los precios. This is to reject, but when it comes back to us, we have to have that information, that they give it to us, because this is worrisome, because when this is put on the calendar of consent, only for the future, If they are going to install this post when there are no posts, when there are already posts, against the fact that there are already posts, because as I told you on the street, we did not have to exchange any posts. Can I make a comment to respond to your comment, counselor? This was intended for the locations that are dark in the city. There are no lights in the streets and I will not go through the approval process to install lights in the area that is dark in the city. That is why this is the intention. And with the $150,000 budget that I have, if I honor this contract, I'm only going to give you 15 out of the 50 that I have, of the thousands that I have in the fund, because that's why I'm objecting. I'm going to have to go back and talk about the budgets. Yes, thank you for answering. I give a motion that we reject. Second by Councilor Ortiz. Concejal Sanchez, sí. Concejal Ibarra, sí. Concejal Figueroa, sí. Concejal Charette, sí. Alcaldesa Patinkinaz, sí. Concejal Flores, sí. El movimiento pasa unánimamente. Gracias, concejal. Y ahora vamos con las conversaciones. Tenemos dos temas de los cuales creo. Uno de los temas, el 35, ha sido... has been received by the city manager if we ask you to withdraw the object number 35 to talk to him in another meeting and the issue number 30 and 34 which is a parcel map of parcels to be able to drive the permits the number diagonal number 202 mcdonald's Yes, I would like to move to reconsider the adoption. Could you repeat the motion, Mario? It's a reconsideration of the theme number three that was heard on June 17, 2026. I have comments before I take votes. I have a motion to be able to continue with the reconsideration. There is a second. I would like to make a comment, Councilor Halibarra. Yes. I would like to thank Robert for his comments. In fact, because I also found out that you were trying, Mayor, to get support for McDonald's. This person told me and they told me that they don't need McDonald's. They don't want it. The residents are very worried. So I just wanted to thank Robert, because I also heard it from my side, the fact that he has a power and that he wanted to do this project, but you could have done it, but not make my colleagues change their vote. As this came out, I think you did that with some of my colleagues, that you convinced them to change their opinion or change their vote. Thank you. There is a second for reconsideration. I would like to hear this reconsideration and I will definitely give you a second to come back and consider. There was a second for that and what I was going to ask is, I would like it to be explained Why and how did we get here? And what is the process to continue? It is my understanding that we will not be voting on this today. We are only voting to reconsider, which means that it will come back later. And that needs to be explained to the public. That's right. Yes, I can definitely simply explain and give more explanations to the advisers. Only in the process itself, the reconsideration tonight, if the reconsideration passes, then we will return and they will speak because you will have to take a new public hearing, just to be on the safe side, which would be in August, the second meeting of August, which is on August 19th, to notify the public. Y después vamos a regresar para una nueva audiencia el 19 de agosto. Y el considerado va a tomar acción y consideración.
Gracias. Y solamente para más explicación de cómo esto va a entrar en la agenda para considerarse. Sí. Consultamos con esto en la proposición 4 para posible reconsideración. Mi oficina consultó con la oficina del abogado. Yo le pasé todas las reglas. Tenía que ser para cierta fecha. Tenía que ser dentro de 15 días después de la acción inicial. Y tenía que ser sin una junta de consejo entre tanto. No hubieron ninguna entre ese tiempo. Tenía que ser entre 15 días. Creo que había una tercera condición. Sí. Y la persona haciendo la moción tenía que votar en la mayoría y la autoridad legal es el Código de Desarrollo, sección 19.52.140. Eso es. Gracias. Entonces es una moción apoyada. Secretaria Sánchez, sí. Ibarra, no. Concejal Figueroa, sí. Member Tim Canals? Yes. Councilor Flores? Yes. Councilor Ortiz? Yes. Motion approved 6-1 with Ibarra voting against. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor. Now, updates. Councilor Ibarra. Oh, excuse me, yes. No, yes, Ibarra. Any updates? Nothing to report, but I do ask that we end in a minute of silence for the mayor. I just want to say, Mr. Ojeda announced it, thank you for coming and thank you for being part of the event that we are having July 25th. Many communities, when I came to my position, those of Shannon Hills Golf Course communicated with me and also how passionate they were about it. There I learned to play golf and there my dad took me and my sisters when we were little. Of course, it is an asset that we have in our community. There I took my son for the first time. It was the first time he used a golf club. This is significant. It is more than a golf club. It is an opportunity to connect with the public so that they can also be presented to the golf game and also be able to interact, to have food. So I invite everyone, including the council, on the 25th, the cup begins at 8 in the morning and then the picnic activities will be at 10 in the morning. That is July 25th. Thank you. Any other comments? Councilor Ortiz, thank you. Mr. Mayor, I wanted to mention, tomorrow morning, if... Oh, my God. The park, the park, Sizzling Summer, the concerts. This is a great opportunity to... It's Nunez, right? No. Wellwood? Still Wellwood? Good. So, the Wellwood Park. And it's been... It's country night. It's country night. So, grab your hats, your boots, your girls, and your horses. And come. It's been a good series. I really appreciate it. And there's also going to be a Christmas in July that was just mentioned. That will also be good for the community. So if you want to keep up with everything, the recreation workers are doing a good job on their Facebook and also on Instagram. I love everything. So thank you for that. I also want to welcome the Director of Economic Development, very excited to have him here and as a Cal State student. It is exciting to see that he comes to the city of San Bernardino. If you want to communicate with me, there were some residents during the break who wanted to thank the council for what we did for the motel. And only for 2026 we are talking to others as they talk to us. So if they come here talking whatever you want, it will not be done like that. Y si, disculpe, alcalde. Usted estaba haciendo bien, estaba haciendo un buen trabajo y no quería yo hablar más fuerte, dominar la conversación. Solamente quería expresar gratitud a todos por estar listos y preparados para que nadie sienta que puede contravenir código, al igual que no pueden contravenir el código penal. Thank you. And if it's a worrying problem, that yes, we all care. Now, Councilor Figueroa, yes, thank you. I feel that everything has happened, so much has happened since the last time. Yes, I was the host of a community meeting a while ago, Cabrinha Cabrera. I want to say thank you. There was good assistance and even some cities in the neighborhood too. I think there was someone from Highland and Colton too. The mayor of the city, the municipality, I thank him for his assistance there and all the personnel and the work they do too. And the National Night Out is going to be a good event. It's going to take place in the Lytle Creek Park. August 4th, on K Street, from 4pm to approximately 7pm. It's always very good, all the activities and events in our police department. It's a great exit. And we thank the police department for everything they do, the staff, the parks, and all those who are part of that, the volunteers, the sellers, all of them. Please go out and visit that Tuesday night. Thank you, Councilor, Councilor Flores. I just want to remind you all, this Saturday, July 18th, we're going to have our Starlight Cinema in Hudson Park. You're going to see the Grinch movie. I want to thank the park staff because last month on the 13th we had a good assistance for Zootopia 2 and I want good assistance for August 15th for the movie in Augustin Park. Mayor, I have nothing. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Ibarra. As for the moment of silence, now before closing the meeting, the previous mayor of Gervais was passionate about this community. She was the first Hispanic. She had decades of service.
First, she formed this city.
for the best, and has worked for future generations. Also, Faye Aldridge, who has been cherished and will be deeply missed by the city of San Bernardino, I want to offer our most sincere laments, and join me in a moment of silence. Thank you. The meeting is now adjourned at 9.30 PM. There will be a meeting on August 5, 2026 in the library located at 555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, California, 92410. The closed session will be at 4 p.m. The open session will be at 5 p.m.
