Several San Bernardino County archaeologists will present papers this week in San Francisco.
Pertinent to the study of archaeology in San Bernardino County’s desert region, the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) is holding its 80th Annual Meeting this year in San Franciso from April 15 – 19, 2015, this week.  Among the featured topics for the San Bernardino County area are presentations touching on San Bernardino County prehistory including evidence concerning climate change.
The Sentinel’s SBC’s Glimpse of the Past columnist, Ruth Musser-Lopez of the San Bernardino County Archaeological Heritage Association will present her summary paper on the link that can be made using rock art style patterns and linguistics that indicate archaic abstract petroglyphs, the very oldest rock art in the Mojave Desert were likely made by ancestral artists of the Mojave people of the Lower Colorado River or their Yuman-Hokan speaking cousins.
Other presenters from our neck of the wood presenting one of the # papers in one of the 418 sessions of the five day conference include Dr. Edward Knell of Cal State Fullerton who will be presenting findings from surveys of the playas around Soda and Silver Lake near Baker.  His findings indicate that from the end of the Pleistocene (roughly 10,000 years ago) to the time Native Americans had contact with Europeans,  there appears to be a gradual shift of human occupation on these playas downward farther into the basin which would indicate a receding water level or shoreline. His conclusion are based on evidence from archaeological surveys and the relative physical location of datable concentrations of artifacts through time. The findings are important reflections upon long term global warming and receding water levels in the Mojave Desert over at least the past 10,000 years.
From the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, we have Aaron Woods, Barbara Roth, Katelyn DiBenedetto also evaluating prehistoric subsistence, settlement and land use in San Bernardino County.  These researchers will report on a recent field survey that they conducted where they found  “multi-component artifact scatters, lithic reduction areas and hunting blinds.”  The researchers assert that these newly discovered sites provide new information on the prehistoric use of Afton Canyon, and patterns of prehistoric occupation in the Mojave Sink also suggesting that site type locations pertains to the function of the site.
“A Biface Cache from Paradise Springs, Central Mojave Desert” is the topic of Dr. Jeanne Binning, a Regional Archaeologist with CalTrans, Jill Minar of Fresno City College, Clifford Walker of the Mojave River Museum and an Stueber of Archaeological Investigations Northwest. A type of dating technique called Obsidian Hydration dating was used on two Humboldt bifaces in the cache indicating the artifacts are 1,400 years old.  Since there were six chert dart-point “preforms” thought to be roughed out for future use with an atlatyl, the evidence of their recent age, because they were found with the 1,400 year old bifaces, suggests that Native Americans used the atlatyl even after bow and arrow technology was acquired.
Coming from Fort Irwin, thirty-seven miles north east of Barstow, Archaeologists Katherine Brunett, Armando Abeyta and Amber Fankhauser will be presenting their findings from two “multi-component” archaeological sites, Bitter Spring and Drinkwater Spring, used over a long period of time as stopping points along migration and “interaction” routes, and also likely used during more recent times in association with historic mining activities.

The desert five-spot, one of the most beautiful flowers that grows in the desert, now bears the scientific name of Eremalche rotundifolium.  Formerly, it was known as the  Malvastrum rotundifolium.
The desert five spot is present in the Mojave Desert and ranges to the Sonoran Desert of  southern Nevada and western Arizona. It is rarely seen at elevation above 4,000 feet.
It prefers sandy or rocky areas of dry, open desert bajadas, washes, mesas and flats as its habitat.
The desert five spot has pink to purple globes with 5 petals open at the top.
The leaves are round-reniform and crenate up to 2-1/2 inches wide, and the pink to lavender bowl-shaped flowers have 5 petals each with a dark red spot near the base.  The calyx is stellate-hispid with ovate acuminate sepals.
It blooms March through May. Inside, the center is creamy with 5 deep, purple blotches surrounding many stamens. The 5 “spots” actually occur at the base of each petal. The flowers open in the afternoon and close at night.
The desert five-spot is an  annual herb, a member of the Mallow family (Malvaceae), which  grows 4 to 24 inches high. Its sparse leaves are round to heart-shaped, with scalloped margins up to 2 inches wide. The color of the leaves is green and often red with short, bristly hairs.
When light passes through the delicate petals of the flower, the globe resembles a glowing lantern. For this reason, the desert five-spot is also known as the lantern flower and Chinese lantern.

It’s warming up nice here in Southern California and everyone is feeling the change of the season. The fascinating fashion scene is full of fantasy and people are walking the streets looking completely stylish. There is much to learn from the fashion eras of the 18th  and 19th centuries, and from the 20s and 30s from the 20th Century, for that matter. Fashion should not be confused with style, but fashion provides a springboard for learning about and discussing style.
Although hats tend to disappear, vintage hats look great and creative when shared out on the street. The fascinator is my personal favorite because it is creative and full of color.
Also, the color in the style of dress that is brought in to outfits that people are wearing is full of creativity. People really know how to bring color together. It’s like fantasy and reality getting married, and that makes for some amazing outfits. There is a spring dress parade full of color out there. People are creating a real fashion parade this spring. Because they are creating real fashion, style is being brought  to life, catching attention and putting our eyes to work. It’s nice to know beautiful creativity exists and see it come in the spirit of the people. Enjoy the streets and keep creating.

Sentinel 04-10-15

By Mark Gutglueck
Rather quietly, a financing tool to replace redevelopment has emerged in California.  Few if any municipalities, counties or public agencies have moved to create these new entities, so-called enhanced infrastructure financing districts, which are in many ways similar to the redevelopment agencies they are intended to replace.
Redevelopment agencies were formerly adjuncts to local governments which were chartered to reduce blight in local  communities and generate economic development. Those redevelopment agencies were empowered to utilize money available from the state and federal government, otherwise obtain loans or financing, or to use their own authority to issue bonds, the proceeds from which were used to eliminate blight and build infrastructure. The improvements from this redevelopment activity would then, theoretically, result in an increase in the value of the property within those redevelopment agency project areas. The increased property tax revenue from those areas, referred to as tax increment,  would  be used to pay back the loans or debt service the bonds, that is, pay the bondholders.
In 2011, the state legislature at Governor Jerry Brown’s instigation passed legislation, ABX1 26, closing out the more than 400 municipal and county redevelopment agencies in California.
Brown asserted that there were recurrent abuses of the redevelopment system and that the money would be better utilized for public education and public safety programs.
After a three-year vacuum in which local cities and agencies lacked a spark by which to undertake infrastructure-building efforts that would create a circumstance in which businesses and housing could be readily developed, the legislature took up a piece of legislation, Senate Bill 628, which was intended to fulfill Brown’s statement four years ago that a reformed process of facilitating the construction of infrastructure and creating the circumstances in which development projects could be economically encouraged would be forthcoming.
On September 29, 2014 Brown signed Senate Bill 628 into law after both houses of the legislature had approved it on the last day of the 2014 legislative session.
2011’s ABX1 26 had taken from local governmental jurisdictions an easy process of creating assessment districts to cover the cost of redeveloping areas within those city’s or county’s bailiwicks. In some cases the cities and counties gave up on jumpstarting development through the creation of infrastructure altogether. In other cases, they sought to substitute in financing mechanisms such as Mello-Roos bonds, Marx-Roos bonds or the creation of community facility districts to pay for building streets, sidewalks, sewers, schools or such appurtenances to development. But Mello-Roos and Marx-Roos arrangements entailed votes of those to be assessed in ratifying the assessment districts, which would then require that residents or business operators in the district pay yearly assessments to debt service the bonds used to pay for the upfront creation of the infrastructure. Any home-, land-, or business-owners coming into the district in the future would be saddled with the assessments, even though they had not voted them in. For the creation of an assessment district to pass, a 2/3s vote of the residents in favor of the district creation was needed.  Few approvals of such districts occurred in the 2011 to 2014 time frame.
Senate Bill 628, which was introduced by Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose), authorizes municipalities and counties to create enhanced infrastructure financing districts, known by the acronym EIFDs, to fund infrastructure development and community revitalization. EIFDs can be created with greater ease than Mello-Roos or Marx-Roos districts and community services districts, not requiring a 2/3’s vote, but rather by an act of the county board of supervisors or a city council. Or they can be put into place, involving the issuance of bonds and the devotion of tax increment funding to pay down that bonded indebtedness, on the authority of a vote by the people in which it needs to pass, not by 2/3s, but rather by at lesser 55 percent of the electorate in the district to be created.
EIFDs can entail a bond payback period of up to 45 years from the date of the bonding approval, which is 15 years longer than traditional redevelopment agency bond debt retirement arrangements.
Senate Bill 628 also allows for the Enhanced Infrastructure Funding Districts to be utilized for a broader range of purposes than traditional bond funding mechanisms, including transit projects, low- and moderate-income housing, and environmental cleanup.
EIFDs are distinct from redevelopment agency bonding in one key respect. The tax increment devoted to cover redevelopment agency debt was diverted from education. That is, the property tax on property included in a redevelopment area was signed over entirely to the redevelopment agency. In the case of the Enhanced Infrastructure Funding Districts, any pre-existing property tax that is earmarked for schools will continue to go to that purpose. Nor can EIFDs divert property tax revenues from any non-consenting taxing entity within the jurisdiction of the district to be created.
There was opposition to Senate Bill 628 by some who argued that the restrictions on the Enhanced Infrastructure Funding Districts’ poaching property tax revenue from other overlying and pre-existing governmental districts was not strong enough. Those opponents have vowed to carry further legislation this year which will tighten restrictions on the diverting of pre-existing taxes to infrastructure projects slated to be defrayed by EIFDs.
While there has not yet been a rush by local municipalities and agencies to jump on the EIFD bandwagon, the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District appears to be ahead of the curve in considering how the tool could be used toward construction of water system improvements.
The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, which serves as the watermaster for the Bunker Hill Basin,  is the local agency dedicated to the importation of water.  Its board members last month discussed how Senate Bill 628 might be brought to bear to create a district, perhaps involving other entities, which would provide financing for planned water improvements.

The San Bernardino City Council this week undertook an effort that might allow it to attenuate several of the provisions in the city charter deemed counterproductive and obstructive of the reforms certain elements in the city’s leadership  hope to effectuate to recover from the bankruptcy San Bernardino declared in 2012.
Nevertheless, some elements opposed to the change suggested the maneuver was an illegal one which contains fatal procedural flaws.
In California, more than three-quarters of its cities are organized under general rules applicable to the governance of a municipal entity, and are thus known as general law cities. Of California’s 480 incorporated municipalities, 368 are general law cities, represented by a five-member city council. At present, 112 California cities are charter cities. A city organized under a charter has a multitude of options as to its governance, can increase the number of its city council members, instill greater power in the mayor than is the case with general law cities, or stipulate permutations of government authority tailored to that particular city’s geography, demographics, economic circumstance, existing social, educational or vocational institutions or other peculiarities of that community as is collectively deemed appropriate, within Constitutional parameters. Most, though not all charter cities have a substantial population.
In the case of San Bernardino, provisions put into the charter by means of a citywide vote in 1939  – known as Section 186 – requires that the city’s public safety employees – firefighters and police officers – be paid on a scale equal to the average pay of police officers and firefighters in ten similarly-sized California cities.
San Bernardino has been beset with financial difficulties that culminated in the city’s filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2012. Former mayor Patrick Morris, whose eight years in office ended last year, for the last several years of his tenure  maintained that a major factor in the city’s fiscal deterioration has been excessive salaries and benefits provided to city employees and retirees. Carey Davis, an accountant by profession and a political ally to Morris, succeeded Morris in March after defeating Wendy McCammack, a former councilwoman who had long championed generous pay increases for municipal safety employees.
Section 186 effectively locks in salaries for San Bernardino’s public safety employees that are at par with or greater than those salaries received by their counterparts in ten California cities. San Bernardino, the county seat and the largest city in the county, has a population of 213,708. Yearly, city officials and police and fire union heads start with a list of California cities with populations between 150,000 and 250,000. In turns, each removes a city from that list until ten remain. Salaries are then computated upon the average pay to that particular group – firefighters or fire department management or policeman or police management – in the remaining ten cities.
Over the last several years, San Bernardino has been particularly hard hit by the economic downturn that has gripped the nation, state and region. Despite the city’s 2012 filing for bankruptcy protection, it has continued to give firefighters and police officers raises in keeping with the provisions of Section 186 of the city charter. During Morris’s rein as mayor, a schism had developed on the council over the continuation of what some characterized as too generous salaries and benefits to city public safety employees and what others maintained was simply adequate pay for policemen and firefighters.
As one of his first acts in office, Davis called for the creation of a municipal commission to consider charter changes, suggesting that the requirement that police and fire officers be provided with raises based on salaries given to their counterparts in cities free of the financial challenges San Bernardino faces should be done away with. After the creation of a citizens’ charter review committee, that panel , by a 7-2 margin, offered last May a suggestion that the city council use its authority to place a measure on the November ballot asking voters to repeal Section 186 and instead adjust salaries through the collective bargaining process.  The city council voted 4-3 with councilmen John Valdivia, Henry Nickel and Benito Barrios dissenting, to place two measures on last November’s ballot, asking city voters whether to alter the municipal charter and, in theory, reduce costs. The first of those measures would have repealed Section 186. The second measure would repeal Charter Section 254, which requires that fired employees who are appealing their terminations to the civil service commission continue to be paid until the commission makes a decision on whether or not to reinstate the employee.
The city’s police and fire unions strongly opposed the measures, and in the face of their spirited campaign against them, they were defeated.
The charter remains in place. In the current fiscal year, police department and fire department operations represent 68 percent of the spending out of the city’s general fund. Salaries make up the lion’s share of those departments’ operating budgets. A majority of the city council remains convinced that the continuation in the escalation of public safety employee pay in a city that has declared bankruptcy and is stiffing its other creditors is unseemly.
Last month, when Valdivia, the member of the city council most strongly in favor of preserving public safety salaries at current levels, was absent from a specially-called meeting of the city council for a so-called strategizing session aimed at formulating approaches to having the city exit from bankruptcy, five of the council’s members gave indication they favorably viewed adopting proposed
“operating practices for good government.”
At the Monday April 6 council meeting those proposed practices had been put into writing and were presented to the mayor, city council, city manager and city attorney for endorsement. Valdivia balked, refusing to set his pen to the paper. All six of the others – Mayor Carrie Davis, council members Fred Shorett, Jim Mulvihill, Henry Nickel, Benito Barrios, Rikke Van Johnson, and Virginia Marquesz, along with city manager Allen Parker and city attorney Gary Saenz – affixed their signatures to the document, which Saenz said was a legal “gentleman’s commitment.”
The agreement commits each of the city’s elected and top administrative and legal functionaries to a course of action and accommodation, with assigned roles for each upon which the others are not to intrude.  The two-page document in part states, “The role of the council is legislative in character, which includes the power to set policy, approve contracts and agreements and undertake other obligations consistent with the charter and code, while deferring to the discretion of management and staff to choose the appropriate means to achieve the council’s goals.  The council will make the necessary decisions to expeditiously exit bankruptcy, as well as develop and implement a strategic and tactical plan that ensures the city of San Bernardino’s success in the foreseeable future. The council will proved the resources to pursue the city’s best interests in bankruptcy court along with a robust communication plan to inform the citizenry of what is at stake.  The council, as the elected body serving all of the residents of the city, shall perform its duties and exercise its powers in a manner that serves the best interests of the entire city, rather than any particular geographic area or special interest.”
Furthermore, according to the agreement, “The mayor will build consensus with the council to create and implement a shared vision and plan of implementation to restore the city’s fiscal integrity. The mayor will establish and maintain partnerships and regional leadership roles to advance the city’s interest. The mayor will, consistent with the separation of powers contemplated by a reasonable reading of the city charter, not interfere with the discretion of the city manager in the exercise of his powers and the performance of his duties under the city charter. The mayor and council will jointly develop clear expectations of the city manager and hold him/her accountable by conducting performance evaluations at least every six months.”
The agreement stipulates that “Neither the mayor nor the council will interfere with the judgment and discretion of management staff with respect to the duties that are typically managerial in nature, such as the appointment, removal, and supervision of subordinate staff. Neither the mayor nor the council will direct departmental staff. The city manager will be the sole authority for managing city operations and directing city staff in those departments under his supervision.  The city manager will make business and policy recommendations based solely his or her independent professional judgment and best practices in the best interests of the city, rather than political considerations, and to this end shall strictly guard against interference with the performance of his duties. The city manager will have both the authority and accountability to produce a confirmable plan of adjustment for council approval by May 30, 2015. The city manager will be responsible for implementing the plan of adjustment to ensure the city exits bankruptcy as soon as possible. The city manager will be accountable for the implementation of council goals and policy and the overall performance of the city. The city manager will be responsible for ensuring that the council and mayor are fully informed on all aspects of important emerging issues.”
The agreement also spells out that “The city attorney will focus his attention and resources on the performance of his duty as chief legal officer to provide legal advice to the mayor, council and city manager, and the management of his office, and shall leave the formulation of policy and managerial matters exclusively to those officials charged by the city charter with those duties.”
Valdivia said the council was violating the law and the charter in adopting the agreement.

(April 9) The City of Needles has encountered some rough sledding in its proposed 2500 foot “Needles I-40 Interconnect Project” this week. The project was conceived of as a way to quiet the complaints of the state of Arizona, which is contemplating the construction of its own new highway on the east side of the Colorado River and threatening to bypass Needles entirely if California didn’t connect I-40 with AZ Highway 95.
The compromise project, currently being moved forward by supplemental federal assistance, would connect the I-40 at the downtown J Street exit and direct traffic through three intersections of the town to sport new traffic signals, ostensibly fast tracking vehicular traffic to the Colorado River bridge connecting Needles to AZ 95.
According to city officials, the interconnect project is “consistent with state, regional, and local plans and programs… [including] the Southern California Association of Governments Regional Transportation Plan 2012-2035, which is part of its Sustainable Communities Strategy” and one that “places more emphasis than ever before on the relationship between sustainability, integrated planning and mobility. The 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan outlines a transportation infrastructure investment strategy that will beneficially affect Southern California and is guided by a series of goals and objectives aimed at the need to balance the many priorities in the most cost-effective manner.
But some of the Needles land owners whose property is being appropriated by the city to accommodate the project dispute the  city’s need to seize the property in question, whether the city has an ulterior purpose in getting the property now in that it has an unannounced future design for the land that is not being disclosed and that the city’s priorities with regard to acting in a cost efficient manner have resulted in the violation of the property rights of the landowners. city
The city had purchased property in the path of the construction, while other targeted property that was not sold to them was condemned and slated to be taken by eminent domain. Nineteen property owners including the county of San Bernardino and 100 “Does” were named in the condemnation case filed by Best, Best and Krieger, the law firm representing the city of Needles on the complaint filed on January 14, 2015.
Defendants had 30 days to file their answer in the San Bernardino courthouse, 3.5 hours away from Needles. During the course of the month that followed, only one party answered the complaint, Robert J. Lopez and Ruth Musser-Lopez, trustees of a family trust land located on a rare landmark corner of Route 66, scheduled to be demolished as a part of the project. Coincidently, Ruth happens to be a political activist who ran for State Senate last year and who is also by training and profession an archaeologist, historian, and columnist who often authors stories for the Sentinel’s Glimpse of SBC’s Past.
“We have serious concerns about this project as it is designed and do not agree that it is planned with the best interest of the people and with the least harm and least impact,” Ruth Lopez said.  “The property owners held out as long as they could against the city and its representatives and attorneys who began strong arming them last spring into signing papers that would allow the city to take more land than that which was needed for the project and for purposes beyond the scope of the project. Those purposes are unrelated to the project and are intended for future uses. The city was offering a pittance in exchange not just for the land but for being able to utilize the property in ways that will have an even greater impact on our properties years from now. I don’t think the city anticipated any of us putting up a fight in court. We want the judge to hear our stories and to see the way the city has behaved badly, thinking that they can use their color of government authority to scare people into giving up their land, offering them peanuts for more property than the city is entitled to and for purposes that the city is  not entitled to use the land for, including future purposes that have nothing to do with the interconnect project.  I want to make sure that this never happens again in this state and that this bunch doesn’t go to another town and repeat the same thing.  I want to see this wrongful conduct exposed,” Ruth Musser-Lopez said.
“Most people are afraid to fight City Hall or do not have the money to even contact an attorney. They are concerned about the expenses of traveling to court 250 miles away or just don’t know what to do. In one case, an elderly religious woman was paid only $500 for her corner frontage and then was asked by the very same city officials to come provide the blessing upon the city council meeting. It was really sad, I was at that meeting to protest their wrongful take of our property and I really don’t believe that she understood what she was ‘blessing.’   She probably didn’t realize that the city can make back infinitely that same $500 over and over again with business signage on that so-called ‘sliver take’ of her land on one of the busiest corners in town. I wonder if she realizes that the attorneys who orchestrate these ‘takes’ typically make in one hour as much money as she got for her land.
“The evidence indicates that there was a much more efficient and less impairing/destructive way to move traffic from I-40 to Hwy 95 in Arizona,” Musser-Lopez continued. “There is significant evidence that the city did not do its due diligence in its planning effort nor was a good faith effort made to identify all of the potential damage of the selected alternative.”
From the J Street off ramp, downtown Needles to the bridge crossing the river, pavement rehabilitation and intersection improvements, including signals, turn lanes, sidewalks and crossings to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, some road widening, utility relocations, and some drainage improvements are to be installed.  Temporary construction easements (TCEs) and so-called “sliver-takes” (thin strips of new right-of-way to be acquired from adjacent properties) have also already been acquired by the city using threat of eminent domain and condemnation. Federal funding was obtained through a Local Assistance program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with Caltrans being delegated with FHWA’s duties for oversight with regard to compliance with the federal environmental laws.
“The City and CalTrans wrongfully exempted their own project from environmental laws, but the project should not have been exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and since there are federal funds involved, the project definitely should not have been exempt from the National Environmental Protection Act,” said Musser Lopez. “The city plans to demolish a large historic median and wide sweeping turn lane on Route 66 that separates our family property from eastbound traffic that currently does not have to stop at a signal.   Without the median and the wide turn lane, the traffic will be closer to our yard, backed up behind a stop signal. Emissions from the vehicles stopped there will accumulate in our yard where children play and where we have traditionally had family gatherings and picnics,” Musser-Lopez reported.
“Beyond the environmental impact, we do not agree that our property is even needed for this project,” Musser-Lopez asserted. “When they started out, they were going to take five feet off of the frontage of both sides of our corner. When we began to question them, they cut the size down to just one side of our property but still wanted to take the property for future uses.   We continued to object and said that they already owned enough space to install a traffic signal and instrumentation.  The city then offered us $2000, four times as much as they had offered us originally ($500.00) saying that they had to have our land to install a large instrumentation box that would require them to make the sidewalk wider. “It was indicated to me by one of the planners that they could have easily redesigned the project or put the box on the land they already owned to the east of our property or on one of the three corners that they already had control of, but no, they were intent on taking our property and setting up a big ugly box in front of our house, using precious road improvement dollars on legal fees to haul us into court. As of yesterday [April 7], we received a new declaration newly submitted to the judge by someone we have never heard of before named “Debra Meier” who claimed to be the project manager for Parsons Brinckerhoff, the firm handling engineering and environmental certification for the project.  From her submission, we believe as hype the entire ‘giant traffic signal box’ scenario propounded by city manager Rick Daniels as a justification for taking our property.  There is no giant box in the design plans that Meier has newly submitted on the record.
Further, this mapped plan, which we never saw before now, is the evidence that we needed to show that the city had already seized our land a few years ago and is definitely in trespass…and now wants the judge to legalize this wrongful trespass without any compensation to us at all for the city’s past use.  There are two underground utility vault type boxes for telephone utilities already partially on our land and the city’s existing sidewalk is partially on our land.  These “telephone vaults” are apparently used or operated by Frontier Communications, the local telephone company, so clearly Councilman Tony Frazier, who is a Frontier employee, likely had a conflict of interest when he voted to have the city begin the eminent domain process against us.   So in other words, up until yesterday [Tuesday, April 7], this plan map had been withheld from us, but apparently, because of our declarations to the judge showing that our land was not needed and that the city already had a sidewalk and room for the utility pole, the city had to show the engineered drawings to the court.  The drawings clearing show the city’s sidewalk and vaults in trespass.  So beyond what we see as the fraud of the city manager’s purportedly needed “giant box” and the councilman’s conflict of interest, we see this submission of evidence as an admission of the city’s existing trespass and guilt.
“We do not agree that the City has a right to take our property,” Musser-Lopez continued. “We absolutely do have a problem with the city’s motion for prejudgment possession and we continue to object to the city taking possession of our property particularly before a trial since the city has not proven its right to take. So there we were in ‘pro per’ battling City Hall in court and looking at the project closer when we found out that the city and Caltrans totally neglected to assess the impact of the project on numerous historic properties including a landmark corner of Route 66 and some 100 year old homes that are part of a larger downtown historic district.   I wrote about that in the Glimpse a few weeks ago. “The City, CalTrans and the Federal Highway Administration are not in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act as codified in 36 CFR 800 and they are certainly not exempt from the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) which makes it a crime to destroy archaeological properties.”
The city defends the project, maintaining its benefits more than offset the hardship imposed on any of the landowners, including the Lopez Family. Those in opposition are not considering, the city asserts, that 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan’s goals will be of benefit to the city and its residents.
City officials suggested Musser-Lopez is not seeing the big picture. The  Needles I-40 Interconnect Project and its completion, according to the city, represents an investment in “improving regional economic development and competitiveness, an effort to maximize mobility and accessibility for all people and goods in the region, ensure travel safety and reliability for all people and goods in the region, preserve and ensure a sustainable regional transportation system, protect the environment and health for our residents by improving air quality and
encouraging land use and growth patterns that facilitate transit and non-motorized transportation, such as biking and walking.”
But Musser-Lopez retorted that it is the city that is not considering what it is doing in the context of the interests of its residents and the preservation of historic vistas and resources.
“Many in our community think the project is a waste of public funds, will cause more harm than good and that it is wrong to bulldoze the landmark Route 66 corner median and other properties. There was not even an attempt to document that those historic resources  are here and now they will be gone,” Musser-Lopez said. “The city asserts that they are creating a two-lane connector route, but that is a fallacy. The route will go from two lanes to one lane then back to two lanes then to one lane again.The council nixed the option of a short ¼ mile non-stop elevated two lane boulevard in both directions, a connector route that would have alleviated pass through traffic in the local community. The council instead opted for ratcheting vehicles around three 90-degree turns with traffic signals. How can they say this is a two lane road in both directions? It’s not. It’s a wind-about path, with the city acquiring land where they can install their profit-making signage and set up traffic signals.”We will now get all the exhaust and fumes from trucks and vehicles stalled behind red lights.”

(April 7) The county department of agriculture is using a dog to detect pests and restricted plants at parcel reception/shipping centers and the county’s agricultural inspection station in Yermo.
Last year, the board of supervisors approved continuing a program that involved a two-dog team to  perform pest surveillance inspections at parcel shipping centers using canines to detect the presence of any unwanted pests or plant material in unmarked parcels entering the State of California. The state had made revenue in the amount of $275,000 available to the county to defray the cost of the program.
However, according to former San Bernardino County Agricultural Commissioner John D. Gardner, in August 2014 the  agreement put in place between the state and the county specifies the lower amount of $182,128 “due to the recent discontinuance of one detector dog team due to an injury/illness of the canine.”
This week the board of supervisors voted to accept from the state additional funding of $8,500, bringing the cost of the program running during the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 to an amount not to exceed $190,628.
The request for that additional funding was made by the county’s new agricultural commissioner, Roberta Willhite.
“Once a pest or plant is located within a package, the plants are inspected and if a pest or disease symptoms are observed; the samples/specimens are submitted to the CDFA Plant Pest Diagnostic Laboratory for identification. Upon confirmation of a non-native harmful species, or materials proscribed by quarantine regulation, the plants are returned to the shipper or destroyed. Canines have been utilized with great success to detect plant materials in unmarked parcels. These inspections deter the spread of plant pests, diseases or other harmful organisms that may pose a threat to California’s environment and agricultural industry and the economic well-being of the state.”
The agreement for these inspection services was first authorized by the board of supervisors in 2006, and it has been renewed on an annual basis thereafter. San Bernardino County is down to a single pest inspection canine because the state had insufficient funds available in 2014-15 to provide for the acquisition and training  of a replacement detector dog team.
The original $182,128 provided to the county by the state was earmarked for reimbursement of staffing costs based on an established hourly salary and benefit rate for employees assigned to the program, canine care, and operating expenses. This week’s amendment to that contract was intended to compensate the agricultural department for an increase in veterinary care and boarding expenses.
