been spent and cannot support the continuation without having those questions
answered. She said it is wrong for blacks to receive little employment opportunities with
the city.

Baseline and it took a long time for police to respond. He said it is deplorable how the
city treats its African American citizens and said the mayor should not be mayor.

against the mayor. She said that the city council and staff have allowed it to happen and
remain silent. She said that people have spent over a year seeking leadership change
at the animal shelter. She said that the council is weak and has no integrity.
Iliana Arroyo, Options for Youth, spoke about who they serve and what they do,
serving teen mothers and those of low socio-economic status and invited the mayor and
council to visit the school.

community. Because of his actions, Campo Santo neighborhood is kept safe and
liveable.
Ray Culverson, San Bernardino, started Entreprenuer HS, which is in Highland but has
a student body that is 90 percent San Bernardino residents. He invited people to come
see the facility and meet the children. He said kids need to see that there is a step by
step process to get where they want to go and invited people to attend Professional
Development Fridays at the school, as well as a cumbia/salsa demonstration on Feb.
28.
Gregory Taylor, San Bernardino, said he had been gone for a while but came back to
the city and is disappointed with the trash and homelessness. He said citizens will get
behind having the mayor recalled if things do not turn around.

council for support of the waterman water project. He spoke about what the school is
about and said that as educators, they are passionate about serving their scholars and
spoke about some of the programs at the school.
Giana Beck, San Bernardino, spoke about her experience as a Norton student. She
said that she is thankful that she is bilingual and has been able to travel to Chile for 9
days. She said being able to continue through high school would provide an enriched
experience
Nuberly Beck, San Bernardino, said she is the parent of two Norton students. Said she
is proud that the city could accept it as the first k-12 charter school in the area. The dual
