Councilman Shorett,
Thank you for agreeing to read my public comment. It was too muffled last council meeting
and even I didn't understand it.
COMMENT:
Greetings Mayor and Council,
I come to you with a problem and a solution. About two weeks ago, while driving east on 9th
Street between E Streets and Waterman Avenue, there were large amounts of trash on the
south side of the street in nearly every block. I was embarrassed to see my city look this bad
and I know there are other pockets that look just as bad. My solution is that you use funds to
hire high school students, including our recent graduates to beautify our city. These were
some of the jobs provided by SBETA (San Bernardino Employment Training Agency) to
provide to students during summer vacation. This was very effective until the City found
ways to get rid of the program.
I do have a request that you consider employing residents of San Bernardino to fill some of
your management positions. Not just anyone but those who are as qualified as those you have
hired for the last two or more years. We have them here in San Bernardino, they just need to
be given an opportunity. This way, we will have employees who take pride in this beautiful
city instead of employees who know where the freeway ramps are only. Please consider my
request. Thank you.
Margaret Hill
