City Manager
Andrea M. Miller
What we want San Bernardino to become...
For years, the challenges of San Bernardino
prevailed over opportunity. Today, opportunity
prevails over challenge.
We now have a foundation in place where we
can build for the future.
I would like to thank all of you who took the time this summer to provide
thoughts on the City regarding who we want to become in the next
one, five, even 20 years. Whether your participation was through a
focus group, a public input survey, or simply sharing your ideas through
conversation, your feedback is being gathered to create a new image
of San Bernardino.
To that end, we're already acting on some of the ideas you've brought
forward. We celebrated Little League Western Regionals bigger than
we ever have with billboard signage, videos of our great residents that
make Western Regionals happen every year, and letters to all visiting
families and ballpark neighbors that shared the great food history
of San Bernardino. Thank to you Mitla Cafe, The Mexico, Lucy's and
Laymon Candy for offering discounts and making San Bernardino such
a welcoming place for our guests to stay. And to really celebrate our
people, we kicked off a new video series on the City's Facebook
page that shares the story of our great residents in Jim and Darcie
Tossetti - who are 30+ years strong in volunteering as a host family for
Western Regionals.
Positive change is continuing - and growing. As you read through
the newsletter this month, we're also happy to share new initiatives
we're undertaking to better our City including restructuring Code
Enforcement. Previously divided between Community Development
and the Police Department, Code Enforcement is now under the
sole command of the Police Department, allowing for a more
uniform approach.
As always, I'd like to personally thank all of you for being truly invested
in San Bernardino - now and in the future.

RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT
Keeping it in the Family with Cajon
Football Coach Nick Rogers
San Bernardino born and bred, Cajon High School
l football coach Nick Rogers has made a big difference
on and off the field. Since taking over as coach in 2014.
Cajon has amassed an impressive 42-12 record, won two
Citrus League Titles, one Southern California Regional Title
and they are set to tackle another successful year on
the field.
Nick's roots run deep here in San Bernardino. From elementary school through college, he attended school
here. And his family also has strong ties to education in San Bernardino with his wife, brother and sister
currently teaching and his mother a retired educator.
When he was a student at Cajon, Nick played football with his brother Matt. He also met his future wife, who
was on the cheer team.
After graduating college at CSU San Bernardino, Nick's former high school principal, Don Simpson, hired him
on as a teacher - and this launched his journey to make a positive impact in the lives of San Bernardino youth.
As a football coach, Nick led Cajon High School in 2017 to its first CIF win in 30 years and headed all the
way to the state championships. This season, they're ranked in the top 10 in the state and in the top 50 in
the nation. Many of his players are now playing collegiate football and includes schools such as Texas A&M,
University of Wyoming, University of New Mexico and San Diego State.
Thank you Nick for your commitment to the youth of San Bernardino and Go Cowboys!
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
FASTSIGNS Expands Business _ + - ,
to New Location -� 1
X, o❑
A ton
The City would like to thank Nick Fiello, owner of FASTSIGNS, ? _>
for choosing San Bernardino to establish and grow his
business over the past 12 years. We're thrilled to share fir?
that Nick and his team recently relocated to expand their
capabilities and provide customers with enhanced visual communications solutions. FASTSIGNS offers an array
of banners, graphics, signs and more. The local business has been integral to creating visual displays for many
City projects over the years.
The move for FASTSIGNS was a short one at less than one mile away, but the new South E. Street location
provides more than double the amount of production space. The 3,500 square -feet facility features roll -up
back doors so customers can more easily load up big purchases into their vehicles. The new building also
faces Interstate 215, where more passersby can now see the storefront.
Nick says he appreciates the San Bernardino community for their continued business and support over the
years. Stop by the new FASTSIGNS at 1650 South E. Street D! Need a sign? Call them at (909) 889-0002.

Officer Shaun
Sandoval Serves
Youth in the
Community
San Bernardino Police
Officer Shaun Sandoval got
his start in law enforcement
by participating in an
Explorer program - and
years later, he gets to
pay it forward to the very
same program that molded his career. Today,
Officer Sandoval leads the SBPD Explorer
Program, a mentorship program for youth
who are interested in exploring a career in law
enforcement.
Thanks to Officer Sandoval's dedication,
the program grew ten -fold in the number of
Explorers, and now they compete in regional
competitions. When he realized they didn't
have the best transportation, Officer Sandoval
rallied community support and because of his
efforts, Toyota San Bernardino and the Police
Foundation partnered to provide a new van for
the program. Now when our Explorers compete
in regional competitions, other cities take
notice of our professional and polished look!
"facer Sandoval says the Explorer program
important because it promotes personal
growth, character development and respect
for the rule of law - no matter their ultimate
career path. He wants the program to help
youth take ownership in their community,
whether practicing DUI stops or cleaning up
trash in their neighborhood. It's also important
to him that the department is representative of
the community, as young Explorers come from
all walks of life.
Officer Sandoval also serves on the Quality of
Life team and as the school resource officer at
Rialto High School. Thank you Officer Sandoval
for 16 years of outstanding service to SBPD and
to our youth. Because of public servants like
you, our community thrives!

San Bernardino Police Department
Explorers Clean Up Waterman
Avenue and Graduate the Academy
Thank you to the San Bernardino Police Department's
Explorers for taking ownership to see positive change
in our City and helping clean up Waterman Avenue!
The Explorers, a group of 14 to 21 year-olds interested
in law enforcement, picked up trash and clipped back
overgrown landscaping between 30th and 40th streets.
In partnership with SBPD Qualify of Life team, the City
Public Works Department, Burriec Waste Industries and
Caltrans, these Explorers dedicated one of their hot
summer days to cleaning up the blight and beautifying
the area. And a special thank you to Stater Bros. and in -
N -Out Burger for keeping our Explorers hydrated and full.
The Explorer program is intended to reach out to youth in
the community, broaden their view of law enforcement
and teach them good citizenship and respect for the rule
of law. As an introduction to our youth being future police
officers, the Explorer program invests in our future.
Congratulations also to nine Explorers for graduating
from the Explorer Academy, a five-day live-in program
that gave them first-hand experience of what the real
police academy is like. Joined by hundreds of Explorers
from across Southern California, Explorers received more
than 20 hours of classroom instruction, physical training,
drills and strict discipline. Extra kudos to Richard Loera for
winning the Randall Gaston Memorial Award as Overall
Top Explorer!
If you know a young adult interested in law enforcement,
Explorer meetings are held every Wednesday at 6 p.m.
at the SBPD headquarters. For more information about
the program, email the program director Officer Shaun
Sandoval at sanbernardinopoliceexplorers@sbcity.org.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
New and Improved Street
Lights Across the City
r•
� .1 As part of the City's five-year Capital
r
Improvement Plan, $1.34 million has been
allocated to a citywide Street Light Knockdown
Replacement Project. In direct response to the
community's concerns about public safety, the
W ..3 project will help create better lit and safer areas
for residents. Phase 1, including design plans and
specifications of the street lights, is complete.
Phase 11, including construction, will begin mid-
September. Under the direction of Public Works
Department, 200 street lights will be outfitted with
new foundations, pull boxes, luminaire mast arms, conduits and LED lighting. Currently, a survey is underway
to group the lights in separate areas to execute the most efficient replacement schedule. The estimated
completion date is December 31, 2018.
In addition, in October the City will begin work on the Broadmoor Street Lighting Project, which will include
LED lighting upgrades on Broadmoor Street between 30th Street and Parkside Drive. All 32 existing street lights
will be removed and replaced with LED luminaires. These upgrades will utilize less electrical power and reduce
the annual maintenance cost of the system. The estimated completion date for this project is early 2019.
San Bernardino Goes Back to School
Back to School season in San Bernardino is in full swing! To
kick off the new academic year at San Bernardino City
Unified School District (SBCUSD), community organizations
partnered last month for Operation Safe Route 2 School, a
special initiative event to highlight the importance of staying
safe when getting to school. After SBPD's Quality of Life team
cleaned up the routes, community and district volunteers
escorted kids on their walks to create safe routes to and from
school. Three events took place at Juanita Blakely Jones
Elementary School and Riley College PREP Academy, and the
hope is to expand the program into more schools in the future.
Thank you to our teachers, school administrators, public safety
officers and everyone who works hard to ensure our kids have
a safe place to get an education.
For more information and resources about school safety for our
children, check out SBCUSD Office of Safety's Facebook page.
