She said people are curious about the use of city-owned building now that the BGCSB charter has been pulled. She said she would like to see something credible to be in the space.

Karmel Roe, San Bernardino, said some of the street lights are fixed and the trees are trimmed but for the past few weeks she has been harassed at her home by city police officers. She said she should be allowed to express how she feels about the government in the city and not have to worry about her children getting tickets or encounters with code enforcement. Scott Olson, San Bernardino, said the city has a lot of baggage left over from previous administration decisions and that regionalism is hiding behind bureaucrasy. He asked if the goal with the animal control shelter is to wipe out the department to pass off responsibility to another government agency.
