Brandon Carter, San Bernardino, spoke about his movie about San Bernardino
and his eight-point plan to rebuild the city.

coating.

had approved spending $240,000 to market the city. He said he was looking for a
building to buy in downtown because property is cheap.
Steve Figueroa said San Bernardino is the most anti-business city in the Inland
Empire. He said the only people making money in the city are cannabis lawyers. He
also told the council that if they wanted votes, they should at least act interested in
what people have to say and that people have a right to criticize them.
Roxanne Williams spoke about Frank Montes and his professional and civic
experience.
Frank Montes spoke against the council’s actions during the cannabis discussion.
Tim Prince, San Bernardino, said accessibility at City Hall was diminished, and that
the mayor and council were discouraging citizen input and that the response to
Montes’ comments further restricted participation. He also decried the closing of
City Hall for earthquake risk.
Sandra Ibarra, San Bernardino, said she has been reporting broken sidewalks and
lack of lighting in her ward.
29. Items to be referred to City Council committees
