Paul Sanborn, San Bernardino, spoke about the economy and how it affected the city.

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. E CL Matt Owen, San Bernardino, said people forget that society is judged by how it treats the in least of its citizens. He advocated for a public bank to give the city flexibility; and stated N 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.

Mayor Morris told him to engage council members individually away a from the dais, and Council Member Jenkins gave him several ideas of people to approach r in the education world. 0 Scott Olson, San Bernardino, said citizens are tired of the battles. If we want to have N better service in the city, we have to generate revenue; and if we want to generate a, 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. L Jose Olivar, San Bernardino, spoke about the "No Parking" signs on the 800 block of K r Street. He said people wanted them to be removed, and Councilman Valdivia had said a 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 projected, and that the audits are in the process. She suggested the city partner with the county to update the Charter and the Municipal Code. Sam Gabriel, San Bernardino, said expenditures cannot exceed cash flow and if people ran their households in that manner, they would lose everything. He said the city needs to do something about living within its budget. Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Page 4 Packet Pg.98 Joint Adjourned Regular Meeting Minutes September 23, 2013 Sandra Otivas, San Bernardino, announced that the Neighborhood Cluster Association will be meeting and discussing the Mills Act.
