He also discussed the problem of reporting of part 1 crimes not being reported by city PD of county’s fire department leading to an inability to apply for grants under the federal stats. No arsons reported in the city in the past year. Continuing to gather information about fireworks to show what it really costs the city. Cheryl Brown (on behalf of Hardy Brown), San Bernardino, expressed condolences for Dayton ad El Paso. This kind of hate is being driven by a political party that has been silent while people spew hateful rhetoric and asked that the council pass a resolution decrying this. He thanked the mayor for being a speaker at Westside Action Group and said that they would like to eventually have all council members and the City Manager as guest speakers. Cheryl Brown, San Bernardino, said everybody should be concerned about the redistricting process. She said she fought to keep San Bernardino in the same Assembly district and Senate district, but the city was cut in half and you can tell. On state commission on aging, the governor passed a master plan on aging and it is something the city needs to talk about being an age friendly city. She also invited children to the upcoming American Girl doll tea party coming up. Christopher Kim spoke about the former City Manager suing the City and the specter of the city going back into bankruptcy he said that the city needed to do something to improve income for the city. Gregory Taylor, San Bernardino, said that people who want to get things done to use the resources available, including the city’s call-in system that creates CRM requests. If people use the resources available, things will get done. He asked people to report what they see. Thomas Fleming, San Bernardino, said he runs a lot in the city and notices a lot of homeless and trash and asked how the city can have four Amazon centers and be one of the poorest cities in the country. He said Jesus was about helping the homeless and asked where the homeless shelters are in the city. Shirley Harlan, San Bernardino, said the republican democracy is at a tipping point and discussed how oppressive racist language is violence and limits knowledge. She quoted author Toni Morrison on the subject. Luis Juarez requested that the city offer a sustainable system of quality education, community health and safety. He spoke about Acting Chief McBride’s policies as an Regular Meeting Minutes August 7, 2019 Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino Page 4 Printed 10/8/2019 elected official in another city. He said that if McBride is hired as chief it will be a liability for the city. He asked that the next chief care about all the residents. Esmerelda Negrete, San Bernardino, said she agrees with Ben Eilenberg regarding a violation in the city regarding how a cannabis measure is being implemented. She spoke specifically about the buffer zone requirements for cannabis businesses. She said that the Mayor’ promises are false and far from Republican values, including smaller government.

She warned that the city would face lawsuits about the hiring of the chief without public input. Damon Alexander, San Bernardino, never too early to think about the San Bernardino Turkey Trot, which he called a point of light in the city. He said they are hoping to get at least 1,000 people to “get their wobble on before they get their gobble on” Thanksgiving morning. Ms. Saniya, San Bernardino, said she did not agree with the choice to make Eric McBride Acting Police Chief and suggested that it will inevitably lead to misuse of police authority for some of the city residents. Mariana Magana, of Coalition for Human Immigration Rights, voiced the group’s opposition of potential appointment of McBride as Police Chief. Urge to City Council rethink the appointment based on his actions and rhetoric as a member of the Hemet City Council. San Bernardino needs a police chief thy can trust and not further divide the community. Lizeth Mendoza, of Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, spoke about the diversity of San Bernardino and said it showed that by recently receiving immigrants. We should not allow a leader who supports anti-immigrant policies to be in power. She said that Acting Chief McBride is an insult to the community. Luis Ojeda, San Bernardino, spoke about the San Bernardino Food Fest and thanked the staff and community for their support. He said that the strife in the country will not stop if one race, one party or one people accuse another.
