Public Comments for Items Not on the Agenda Daniel Duffy, student of social work at CSUSB, spoke about a survey that found that people want regulation of the marijuana shops. He requested that th council do this soon in order to use funds raised from the regulation for other needs in the city. Teresa Angulo, spoke about the project she nd other CSUSB students have been working on, assessing community needs. Scott Olson, San Bernardino, said that Measure O passed and Prop 64 passed and the voters have given you their answer about their feelings regarding marijuana. He said the situation in the city regarding marijuana shops is the responsibility of Gary Saenz, as legal advisor to the city. He also admonished the mayor for not seeking advice from Paul Chabot. James Penman, San Bernardino, spoke about a letter from his firm to the City regarding towing contracts and city policies. Amelia Lopez, San Bernardino, announced that the kick-off for the 2017 Sober Graduation event is Thursday, March 9 at Indian Springs High School. Sandra Ibarra, San Bernardino, said she was glad to see the young voters come out to the meeting and said she had voted no n all of the city initiatives on the November 2016 ballot. She said the Charter would not be implemented as it should, and said that the dispensary ban is not working as it should. She suggested $100,000 fines for them. She said that that by targeting marijuana, the city is targeting the poor and minorities. The voters spoke, she said, and we have to respect their votes. Jay Lindberg said the city has to deal with Measure O because it negotiated in bad faith with people for 20 years. He discussed problems of climate change and showed a map showing temperature anomalies in the Artic. Blanca Lopez, discussed the California Earned Income Tax Credit and added a flier about it into the record. Matthew Aguayo, San Bernardino, asked why the city is still criminalizing people for the use of marijuana. He said Community Development Block Grant funds should not be used for infrastructure, but to support social service agencies. He said he would not be a 21 -year-old City commissioner without the help of such agencies. John Abad, San Bernardino, said the city needs federal funds and people here didn't understand that the letter (discussed in Item 25) would bring money into the city. We lack a tax base. People don't live here because they are afraid of the city. The city needs housing. William Ciocci, San Bernardino, congratulated people for coming out about the letter (discussed in Item 25). He said, however, that when people come out, their voices aren't heard, their will isn't done; instead, they are labeled a gadfly. He said he had warned city officials about the perils of Measure O early in the initiative process, but they avoided him in order to keep the status quo. Crystal Ramirez, San Bernardino, said she represented San Bernardino Generation Now. Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino Page 14 Printed 3/7/2017 Regular Meeting Minutes March 6, 2017 Roxana Barrera, said she was Vice President of representing San Bernardino Valley College Progressives group. James Albert, said he represented Our Revolution. Erika Ruiz, San Bernardino, said she represented Inland Congregations United for Change. Luis Tirado, San Bernardino, said he represented San Bernardino County Young Democrats. Fabian Leon Torres, San Bernardino, said he represented San Bernardino Generation Now and that the main concerns the group had to the letter (discussed in Item 25) were the ideologies embedded in the letter. He asked the Mayor and City Council if they serve a selected demographic. He said the group wants the MCC to acknowledge the letter was an error, make a statement to that effect. Miriam Nieto, said she was a member of San Bernardino Gneeration Now said that many of her fellow young adults do not attend council meetings regularly because they work at that time. Not everyone is privileged enough to sit for this many hours to find out what is going on. She said: We are representing our city well and we wish you guys would do the same thing. You need to apologize to the community for sending the letter without the community's knowledge and agreement on the letter. Ariana Corona, representing ICUC, said another request was to retract the letter. Luis Lozano, representing CSUSB College Democrats, said another demand is that all the officials who signed the letter attend a town hall hosted by the community on April 20, 2017. Michael Segura, representing San Bernardino Generation Now and ICUC said the Mayor and Council need to listen to all of the community. He said some of the responses the council made (regarding Item 25) were rude and he is disappointed in that, after alit he work he had put in on behalf of the city. Allen Bartelman, San Bernardino, said the letter (discussed in Item 25) was clearly out of line and the just demands of the people should be heard. He said the City needs to withdraw the letter and revote every portion of it in another letter to Trump. He said the City is still subject to a Brown Act complaint on the matter. He also said he is a disabled vet, occasionally used medical marijuana and advocated for the Carosel Mall to become a cannabis emporium. Marven Norman, Colton, said the letter (discussed in Item 25) was disconcerting; they are looking for resources, but only one resource was being asked for. A multi -prong strategy is needed to address recovery for the city. 29. Items to be referred to Council Committees No items were referred to Council Committees. Council Member Nickel asked his colleagues to fill any commissioner vacancies they may have so that lack of quorum does not continue to thwart the ability to conduct commission business.
