Good evening. My name is Jonathan Hawes. I served as El Monte City Clerk from 2013 to 2018. Since 2015 1 have
been a whistleblower on Andre Quintero and Team El Monte's embezzlement of $10 million from the El Monte
Promise Foundation scholarship fund. I have interviewed dozens of El Monte residents who have privately
confirmed that Promise funds were used for fraudulent trips to Vietnam and Haiti, a bogus consultant in Salt Lake
City, house repairs, and other criminal activities. I have myself been interviewed by the FBI about two dozen times.
Documents proving the embezzlement have been submitted to the FBI and the District Attorney's Office and are
now available to the public online (httpsm//drove.google_com/file/d/lv434alhldkikaj4TCNZLMsZkhftmtA8f/vi w?
use=drive web). I am asking the San Bernardino City Council to call out these crimes and protect the vulnerable
residents of one of the poorest cities in southern California. El Monte children, who should've been provided with
college scholarships, were robbed. Andre Quintero and Team El Monte members must go to prison. If you have any
questions, please call or text me at- Thank you.
