Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda Paul Sanborn, San Bernardino, stated that what is wrong with the town is too much negativity. He further explained his idea about citizens donating their credit card points for the city to use for prepaid cards to cover items such as toilet paper. Matt Owen, San Bernardino, said people forget that society is judged by how it treats the least of its citizens. He advocated for a public bank to give the city flexibility; and stated that transferring the city's debt to a public bank would keep the interest the city pays on its debt in the community. Deanna Adams, San Bernardino, said the city should focus on the issue of prostitutes, pimps and panhandlers, especially near Midway Market. She said outsourcing the Fire Department is out of the question, as is selling city water. William Castro, San Bernardino, spoke about the need for a noise library for children in San Bernardino, for them to learn musicology, and asked the council for input on where to find partners. Mayor Morris told him to engage council members individually away from the dais, and Council Member Jenkins gave him several ideas of people to approach in the education world. Scott Olson, San Bernardino, said citizens are tired of the battles. If we want to have better service in the city, we have to generate revenue; and if we want to generate revenue, the city has to have a positive image. He said the residents behind the recall have been responsible for the negative image. He said he supports the incumbents. Jose Olivar, San Bernardino, spoke about the "No Parking" signs on the 800 block of K Street. He said people wanted them to be removed, and Councilman Valdivia had said they would be removed, but that has not yet happened. Karmel Roe, San Bernardino, asked if the numbers presented earlier in the meeting were audited. Mayor Morris said they were proje ted, and that the audits are in the process. She su gg ested the city p artner with the coon Y to update e the Charter and the Municipal Code. Sam Gabriel, San Bernardino, said expenditures cannot exceed cash flow and if eo le ran their households p seholds in that manner, they would lose everything. He said the city needs to do something about living within its budget.
