Public Comments for Items Listed and Not Listed on the Agenda
Shawn Hammed, Laguna Nigel, spoke about his company’s LED lighting solutions for
the city.

Independence Day celebrations. He asked that the council help the non-profits who
would need ways to fundraise, absent the sales of legal fireworks, should the council
decide to ban all fireworks in the city.
Manny Acosta, San Bernardino, the owner of Pepe’s Towing said his company has
tried to get a franchise agreement in the city for more than 18 years. He said they had
never had such a problem with any other city in securing a towing contract.
James Penman, San Bernardino, said a political deal was made several years ago to
keep the six companies on the city’s towing list and exclude others. He said there was
no justification for the city’s requirements for the tow companies and that several of the
current companies were not in compliance with the city’s requirements.
Darla Stern, San Bernardino, said there is a large gopher issue with the park next door
to her on Lynwood Circle, near Sterling Avenue. She said the gophers are impeding
onto her personal property. She also said the green belt area in front of her property is
being cared for by her and is concerned about 5 dead trees and said they would like to
cut out the trees if the city is not going to do anything.
Mark Gutglueck, discussed approval of a commercial facility where hard alcohol would
be sold, and said that two council members had received contributions from the
property owner. He also spoke about the Grand Jury report released last week, the
release of Mark Persico as Community Development Director, the history of proposed
interim Community Development director Jeff Bloom, and asked that the mayor, council
or city manager contact him about a newspaper story he is writing about the situation.
Dr. Robert Newman, spoke in support of Pepe’s Towing and said he knew Manny
Acosta to be a decent human being on several levels.
