Sandra Ibarra, San Bernardino

3. Public Comments for Items not on Agenda
Scott Olson, San Bernardino, said he does not support the effort on the charter over the
past two years and said that the recall effort was a means to get a new charter. He
congratulated Mr. Penman for his comments about power and the people and spoke about
the danger of giving power to a large bureaucracy, such as the outsourcing of the fire
department.
Paul Sanborn, San Bernardino, said the city needs to make a distinction between the
homeless and vagrants because there is a difference. He spoke about the 75,000 police
calls the SBPD had received since January 1 and said there needs to be greater
recruitment efforts, even if it requires a new tax.
Jim Smith, San Bernardino, said that the SBPD had spoken to the Chamber on
Wednesday about efforts to recruit new police officers. He also asked the council to
reconsider its action at the previous meeting denying approval of center for homeless
men. He said San Bernardino needs to address homeless issues in San Bernardino and is
not doing it by turning down approvals for homeless shelters.

Common Council and the Mayor and Common Council Acting as the Successor Agency
