A seven-ninths strength San Bernardino Planning Commission on Tuesday gave the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians a green light to proceed with a 1.1-million-square-foot warehouse to be located just north of San Bernardino International Airport.
Having bagged the endorsement of the planning commission, it appears a certainty that the tribe will within the next 60 days get go-ahead from the San Bernardino City Council to proceed with the project.
Known as “San Manuel Landing,” the project will be located on a 53-acre parcel south of Third Street between Victoria and Central avenues. The property is owned by the tribe, the San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA) and the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA). SBIAA is a joint powers authority involving the cities of San Bernardino, Highland, Loma Linda and Colton as well as the County of San Bernardino, devoted to the civilian conversion of former Norton Air Force Base into a publicly-owned and operated airport. IVDA is a joint powers authority involving the cities of San Bernardino, Loma Linda and Colton and the County of San Bernardino, dedicated to the development of the property surrounding the airport.
According to documents relating to the project application, San Manuel Landing would be a massive warehouse/distribution center that is to feature 113 truck docking stations/rolling doors on the north side of the building and 105 docking stations with rolling doors into the facility on the south side. When functioning at full capacity, the warehouse will entail activity involving nearly 2,500 daily vehicle trips into and out of the site.
The project’s proponents said the project will be an environmentally sound and sensitive one in that it will exceed so-called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. LEED is an environmentally-friendly building certification program used worldwide that was developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council. It includes rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings, homes, and neighborhoods aimed to assist building owners and business operators in being environmentally responsible and in using resources efficiently.
Solar panels are to be incorporated into the structure’s design, and there will be electric vehicle charging stations on the grounds of the facility. The landscaping for the project is to be drought-tolerant in nature.
Despite those elements of the project and other precautions taken, the environmental impact report for the project states that all mitigation measures to be applied to the project will not fully offset the impacts of the project. According to that environmental impact report, there will be “significant and unavoidable environmental effects” in the areas of traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and sound.
Some nearby residents expressed concern that the project will have downsides that will impact them.
Kathryn Lopez, noting that “San Bernardino Valley already has a significant air quality problem,” said “Our community deserves better policies and a community benefits agreement for quality development to be created in our neighborhood. We need sustainable development in our city.”
A community benefits agreement is a commitment or contract signed by community groups and a real estate developer stipulating that the developer will provide specific amenities and/or mitigations to the local community or neighborhood where the project in question is to be constructed. In exchange, the community groups agree to either publicly support the project or desist from opposing it.
Ultimately, the majority of the commissioners present were persuaded by the project itself and advocates touting it that it should proceed. One of those in favor of it was Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce President Edward Ornelas, who said the project will complement “the recent growth at San Bernardino International Airport.”
On-line retail behemoth Amazon has established a 660,000-square foot regional air hub on 101 acres south of the airport, west of Victoria Avenue and south of Third Street.
San Manuel Landing is within San Bernardino’s city limits but abuts the city’s boundary with Highland.
David Drake, a development consultant with Trammell Crow Co. who is working with the tribe, said no specific tenant or tenants to occupy the warehouse has or have been signed up to occupy the building.
With commissioners Elizabeth Sanchez and Larry Quiel absent, the commission voted 6-to1, with Monique Guerrero, Amelia Lopez, Anthony Jones, Edward Woolbert, Helen Chang and Harmoni Morales prevailing and Jesus Flores in opposition to recommend the project’s approval to the city council.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

A hearing on the petition will be held in Dept. No. S36 at 9 a.m. on March 3, 2021 at Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415, San Bernardino District.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-21246-SP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Sentinel 02-05-21

By Mark Gutglueck
The Republican Party’s improbable grip on the City of Fontana is loosening under the weight of local, regional, statewide and national developments that are undercutting the primacy of Mayor Acquanetta Warren.
Warren, whose Republican ruling coalition on the city council is afloat on a roiling sea in which the tide is pulling strongly in the direction of the Democrats, is hopeful that she will herself be able to survive in the 2022 election, based largely on her substantial political war chest. Nevertheless, with unfolding events, the time may have come for Warren to depart Fontana and Fontana City Hall for Sacramento and the Statehouse if she is to meaningfully perpetuate or prolong her political career.
With last year’s election cycle, the rock solid political machine Warren headed after the 2016 election began to fragment, as the vaunting ambition of one her most promising protégés, Jesse Armendarez, led him to reach for a brass ring he failed to grasp. In that move, consisting of his ultimately unsuccessful run for Fifth District San Bernardino County Supervisor, Armendarez defied Warren’s wishes that another of her Republican allies, Cliff Young, be the Republican standard bearer in the race for supervisor. By his defiance, Armendarez, who was first elected to the Fontana City Council in 2016 with Warren’s endorsement, put himself in the position of not being able to seek reelection to the Fontana City Council. In last year’s Fontana City Council District 3 race, Warren moved to endorse Peter Garcia, a member of the Fontana School Board. Garcia outpolled Democrats Erick Lopez, Amy Malone, LaShunda Martin, Linda D. Richardson and Dawn Dooley to capture the position. Reelected to the Fontana City Council last November was Jesse Sandoval, the lone Democrat on that panel. Sandoval had run unsuccessfully against Warren in the 2018 mayoral election.
Ostensibly then, Warren remains at the head of a four-member Republican ruling council coalition. Local elections in California are considered to be nonpartisan, but in San Bernardino County party affiliation is a major factor in all political races. Warren is, or at least was, a major luminary in the Republican Party in San Bernardino County. Longtime Fontana Councilman John Roberts is a Republican, as is Councilman Phil Cothran, Jr. and Garcia.
The partisan affiliation of four-fifths of the Fontana City Council is at a variance with the political orientation of a majority of the voters in the city. Of Fontana’s 104,038 voters, 51,413 or 49.4 percent are registered Democrats, while 20,649 or 19.8 percent are Republicans. GOP-affiliated voters in Fontana are outnumbered by the 25,556 voters or 24.6 percent who profess no party affiliation at all. Those registered as Libertarians, or with the Peace & Freedom, Green and American Independent and other obscure parties account for 6.1 percent of the voters in Fontana.
The Republican Party’s political apparatus in San Bernardino County has been generally more aggressive, coordinated and efficient than that of the Democrats going back for more than half of a century, and Republicans both locally and nationwide tend to turn out to vote in greater numbers than do their Democratic counterparts. In Fontana over the last three-and-a-half decades, Republicans have shown themselves far more willing than Democrats to commit resources – in large measure consisting of money – to promote their party’s candidates and causes and engage in electioneering efforts in general.
Among the major contributors to the Republican Party’s efforts to establish primacy in Fontana over the last decade-and-a-half to two decades has been Phil Cothran, Sr., whose insurance brokerage has proven to be among the most consistently successful businesses in Fontana since the mid-1980s. Cothran has been active as a political donor and patron of politicians for the better part of four decades. Originally, his bent was less partisan-oriented than it became, as he was a key supporter of Dave Eshleman during his initial run for city council in 1990 and Eshleman’s later time in office as Fontana mayor. Eshleman was a Democrat. Ultimately, however, Cothran gravitated toward Republicanism throughout the latter 1990s, until by the first decade of the Third Millennium he was supporting Republicans exclusively.
Practically from the outset of Warren’s political career, Cothran was in her corner. Warren, who had been a member of the Fontana General Plan Advisory Committee and the chairperson of the Village of Heritage Citizens Landscape Development Committee, was appointed to the city council in 2002, and was then elected to that post in her own right in 2004, and reelected in 2008. In each of those campaigns, Cothran proved to be among the most generous donors to her electioneering fund.
Warren is a rarity – an African American woman who has gained considerable traction as a politician, as most politicians of her gender and ethnicity are Democrats. In this way, boosted by Republican donors such as Cothran, she carved herself a significant niche in Fontana, having been elected mayor in 2010, reelected in 2014 and reelected once more in 2018. Thus, she has triply benefited, first by the perception of the local Republican establishment that she stands as a symbol of Republican inclusivity, second by the willingness of deep-pocketed Republican donors to bankroll her political career and third by the support of a not insubstantial number of Democratic voters unaware of her status as a Republican who have supported her out of the mistaken belief that she must be a Democrat.
All along, for nearly three decades, Cothran was seeing a return on his investments in supporting politicians. As his status within the Fontana establishment rose, he was smiled upon and treated well by City Hall. His business expanded, he prospered and his fortune grew. In 2018, he saw what was perhaps the greatest dividend from his political involvement when his son, Phil Cothran, Jr., with the endorsement and support of Warren, was elected to the city council.
By 2019, Warren was at the absolute apex of her political power, having formed a firm and fast political alliance with President Donald Trump, who likewise saw a reciprocal benefit in associating with the African American woman mayor of California’s 19th most populous city. Fontana and Warren were called upon and visited by multiple Trump Administration officials, including Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson. Nevertheless, that same year, dissension was festering within Warren’s own political ranks. Four of her most trusted team members – Phil Cothran, Sr., Armendarez, West Valley Water District Board Member Kyle Crowther and West Valley Water District Board Member Mike Taylor – militated to undercut another of Warren’s allies, West Valley Water District Board Member Greg Young, who was to stand for reelection in the November 2019 election, by denying him the Republican Central Committee’s endorsement. Instead, the Cothran/Armendarez/Crowther/Taylor team arranged to rent a room in a house in Bloomington for Angel Ramirez, a 22-year old Fontana resident who had been involved in local political campaigns involving Republican candidates, including Warren’s mayoral race in 2018. Ramirez establishing residency in Bloomington qualified him to run for the Division 5 position on the West Valley Water District Board, which is precisely what Ramirez did. Despite Greg Young’s status as a member of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee and his track record of vigorously and effectively campaigning on behalf of Republican candidates in San Bernardino County going back to the 1990s, the Cothran/Armendarez/Crowther/Taylor cabal, aided by Jeremiah Brosowske, Christopher Dustin, Ross Sevy, Naseem Farooqi, Cameron Wessel and a handful of others, arranged to confer the Republican Central Committee’s endorsement on Ramirez. During the Fall 2019 election season, Ramirez, aided by Cothran, Armendarez, Crowther, Taylor, Brosowske, Dustin, Sevy, Farooqi, and Wessel, waged a ruthless campaign that utilized attack ads and hit pieces targeting Greg Young mailed to West Valley Water District Division 5 voters. Ultimately, the effort to have Ramirez oust Greg Young proved unsuccessful, and Greg Young was retained as a West Valley board member by the voters of Division 5.
Nevertheless, the effort by Cothran, Armendarez, Crowther, Taylor, Brosowske, Dustin, Sevy, Farooqi and Wessel achieved the group’s overarching goal, which was to convince West Valley Water District Board Member Clifford Young [no blood relation to Greg Young] that it had the ability to influence the endorsement process within the Republican Central Committee to the point that it could ensure that Clifford Young would not receive the central committee endorsement if he were to seek election in 2020 as Fifth District supervisor, and that it would instead go to Armendarez.
The 2020 election presented what many thought might be an opportunity for the Republicans, in that Josie Gonzales, a Democrat who had been Fifth District supervisor since 2004, was being termed out of office. Clifford Young, who had been appointed to serve as Fifth District supervisor in 2004 to succeed former Supervisor Jerry Eaves, a Democrat whose conviction on political corruption charges necessitated his removal from office that year, had opted out of running to remain in office in 2004. Yet, a move was on in 2018 and well into 2019 to have Clifford Young vie once again to serve as Fifth District supervisor in the 2020 election, with many political analysts believing that he represented the GOP’s best shot at capturing the Fifth District seat.
Seeing the vicious campaign that Cothran, Armendarez, Crowther, Taylor, Brosowske, Dustin, Sevy, Farooqi and Wessel had put together against Greg Young and recognizing that he would have to involve himself in a knock down-drag out fight within the Republican Central Committee to ensure that he would get the party endorsement in his run for Fifth District supervisor, Clifford Young opted out of getting into the supervisor race, aware a bare-knuckled fight with Armendarez would hurt the Republican Party and virtually assure that neither would get elected, guaranteeing that the post would remain in Democratic possession.
As it turned out, Armendarez captured second place in the Fifth District supervisor contest among four candidates held in conjunction with California’s March 3, 2020 primary election, qualifying him for the November runoff against Rialto City Councilman Joe Baca, Jr., the Democrat’s strongest candidate in the race. Presented with a fait accompli, Warren had no choice but to accept that Armendarez was to be the Republican standard bearer in the Fifth District supervisorial contest. In a show of party unity, Warren transferred $4,700 from her committee, Citizens and Friends of Acquanetta Warren for Mayor 2022, into Armendarez’s political war chest. That, however, barely masked her anger at the fashion in which Armendarez had allowed his ambition and impatience to override the spirit of cooperation, comity and respect among Republicans, and had cut her ally Clifford Young, who many considered to be the Republicans’ strongest potential candidate, off at the knees. Moreover, the participation of Cothran, Crowther and Taylor, whom she considered members of her team, in the effort to supplant Clifford Young and instead promote Armendarez was an indication to her that her hold on her council coalition was far more tenuous than she realized, and the members of her political machine way less reliable than she had thought.
Things were even worse than just that. As the 2020 campaign progressed and the November 3 election loomed closer, polling the Armendarez camp did in July and August indicated that the numbers were running against the Fontana councilman and in favor of the Rialto councilman. In a desperate ploy, those affiliated with the Armendarez campaign attempted to use hit pieces, mailers sent from what was ostensibly represented as an independent expenditure committee, the California Taxpayers Alliance, to move Democratic voters away from Baca. The mailers, which were sent exclusively to high propensity Democratic voters, attempted to link Baca with then-President Donald Trump. “Right-Wing Super PACs Spent Millions For Trump And Have Supported Career Conservative Joe Baca, Jr.,” read one mailer’s all capital letter headline. The mailer’s summary stated, “Keep the Trump Team Off Our Board of Supervisors. We need to defeat conservative Joe Baca, Jr.”
The tactic failed, as the vast number of the district’s Democratic voters found implausible the suggestion that Baca, a Democrat and the son of a longtime Democratic congressman, was affiliated with the Republican president while he was engaged in an electoral contest against the Republican Armendarez.
The use of Republican money to make an attack on Baca by way of bashing President Trump perturbed Warren.
Armendarez, Warren’s protégé whom she established as a member of the council in 2016, is gone. Yet, for the time being, at least, the comfortable 4-to1 voting margin that existed when Armendarez was a member of Warren’s council coalition still exists, as Armendarez has been replaced by Peter Garcia, who was elected in November with assistance from Warren’s political machine. So far, Warren and Garcia, the man considered to be her latest protégé, appear to be getting along swimmingly. Nevertheless, there are storm clouds fringing the horizon.
The signature element of Warren’s tenure in elected office has been the proliferation of warehouse development in the city, particularly in the last decade, which corresponds with Warren’s mayoralty. Her embrasure of warehouses has earned her the sobriquet “Warehouse Warren.” While she has indulged the developers of warehouses and distribution facilities, she has justified doing so because those projects represent, she insists, economic development, the provision of construction jobs while they are being built and the prospect of employment of warehouse workers once they are in place. Moreover, she has asserted, Fontana’s location along the 10 Freeway at its south end, along the 210 Freeway at its north end, and its relative proximity to the 15 Freeway on its west end makes Fontana a natural host for the logistics industry, and warehousing a logical land use for much of the property in Fontana.
Still the same, there are residents, urban planners, economists and environmentalists who decry the overbuilding of warehousing in Fontana and in the Inland Empire in general. They cite the logistics industry’s low wages, the consideration that the advancement of automation is in any case displacing warehouse workers, that the increase in trucks and delivery vehicles into and out of warehouses results in the bane of traffic gridlock and an inordinate danger from collisions, unacceptable emissions from diesel- and gasoline- powered trucks and vans, as well as the unknown and unregulated presence of hazardous materials and chemicals.
In Warren’s case, her willingness to welcome warehousing into Fontana has been prompted in no small measure by the generous political donations landowners with properties converted to warehouses, warehouse developers, and the owners of warehouses and the operators of warehouses and distribution facilities have provided her. That money has contributed to her success and continuation as an elected official. That money has been spread around to members of her coalition.
While politically Garcia is now a member of the Fontana City Council and a putative member of Warren’s coalition expected to adhere to her dictates in terms of what direction the city is to take in accommodating development, professionally he is a scientist with the California Environmental Protection Agency. At present, he is the Southern California regional executive manager for the Department of Toxic Substances Control’s Site Mitigation Program. As such, Garcia is responsible for protecting human health and the environment from hazardous substance-contaminated properties throughout California. Warren’s expectation that Garcia, who has a bachelor of science degree in biological sciences from Loyola Marymount University, will simply go along with her agenda of allowing transportation intensive warehousing to spring up at all order of locations around the 42.4-square mile city which has now grown to nearly 220,000 population, is perhaps a miscalculation on her part. Thus, Warren’s protégé established on the council in 2020 might not be reliably counted upon to maintain her domination of the city’s political direction.
In 2022 John Roberts, who was first elected to the Fontana City Council in 1992 and is one of the longest serving local elected officials in San Bernardino County, is due to stand for reelection. It is not known whether he will choose to remain in office past that point. His departure would potentially diminish Warren’s hold on the council.
It is widely assumed that Warren, who will have achieved the milestone of two decades in elective office in 2022, will seek to perpetuate her run as Fontana’s overlord at that time. Indeed, she has altered the name of her standing electioneering committee to Citizens and Friends of Acquanetta Warren for Mayor 2022, which strongly suggests she is going to seek reelection. Indications are, nonetheless, that the circumstance is ripening for a challenge of her primacy, in particular by Warren’s protégé established on the city council in 2018, Phil Cothran, Jr. Phil Cothran, Sr. was elected chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee last month. That puts him into position to further his son’s political career. There is no question that Phil Cothran, Jr. has available, through his father, sufficient funds to vie, and most likely successfully, for the next logical position up the political evolutionary chain. To some, that logical position consists of Fontana’s mayoralty. The biggest roadblock to that eventuality is Warren. If she opts to remain as mayor, her incumbency, her name recognition and her existing political war chest, which stands at more than $350,000, would make her, most political handicappers believe, the odds-on favorite to win, even against young Cothran, with all of his advantages otherwise.
Still, Warren has had a good 20-year run, and many people believe it is time for the 63-year-old to either move on to higher office or for her to leave politics altogether. If the Cothrans resolve to double down and force the issue by having Cothran, Jr. mount a campaign for mayor in 2022, Warren would be without a major source of direct campaign funding – Phil Cothran, Sr. – going forward, as well as without the support of the other donors that the senior Cothran has influence over in Fontana, as well as all over San Bernardino County.
As importantly, as chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee, Phil Cothran would be in a position to deny Warren the local Republican Party endorsement, which would rob her of the novelty of being an African American female who is distinguished as a favored Republican standard bearer, a status which has given her political currency for nearly two decades. More concerning still for those in Warren’s circle is that those with whom the Cothran juggernaut has taken up – Cothran, Crowther, Taylor, Armendarez, Brosowske, Dustin, Sevy, Farooqi, and Wessel – have demonstrated themselves as having the ability, the stomach, indeed an affinity, for engaging in attack politics, which is a test Warren has never had to hold up under during any of her elections so far. As members, once, of Warren’s team who had entrée into her inner sanctum, Cothran, Crowther, Taylor and Armendarez have knowledge of her vulnerabilities and secrets that might make effective fodder for political hit pieces. Like Clifford Young, Warren could well find herself in a position where running for reelection as mayor could do more damage to her and the Republican Party than she would care to experience. At the same time, if she were to agree to step aside as mayor to allow Phil Cothran, Jr. to advance, it is conceivable that the alliance she has incubated in her 18-year career as a politician could yet sustain itself, in perhaps a form that would be to her benefit.
In 2010, prior to her run for mayor in that year’s general election, Warren sought higher office, vying for the Republican nomination against six others in the District 63 Assembly race. She placed fourth among the seven candidates. In 2022, redistricting will have occurred, based on the 2020 Census. At present, Fontana falls within California Assembly District 47, represented by Democrat Eloise Gómez Reyes, and State Senate District 20, represented by Democrat Connie Leyva. The redistricting that will occur could result in districts that include Fontana and the area of San Bernardino in which Gómez Reyes lives or Fontana and the section of Chino in which Leyva resides. That redistricting, however, might create an electoral map on which either or both Gómez Reyes and/or Leyva find themselves residing in districts that no longer include Fontana. 2022 might be the year that represents Warren’s best opportunity to seek a position in the California legislature. If she does so, making a graceful and early announcement of her intention to depart as mayor at the end of her current term in a way that avoids a head-on rivalry with her one-time protégé Phil Cothran, Jr., Warren might yet tap into Phil Cothran, Sr.’s largesse and support, as well as receive the endorsement of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee in her effort to retain her political viability by seeking state office.
In previous years, the money Warren and her one-time fast and firm Republican allies husbanded was used judiciously in well-planned and efficiently executed electioneering efforts against Democrats. Now, unless Warren is resolved to vault from her municipal position to an elective office in the state legislature or a county position that will come up for election next year such as assessor or treasurer, there stands a real possibility that the Republican members of Warren’s once-cohesive team will be training their considerable firepower on one another.

The City of Victorville and its reestablished municipal fire department have seemingly buried the hatchet with San Bernardino County and its fire protection division.
This week, the Victorville City Council and the county approved a mandatory cooperative aid agreement to logically dispatch their public safety resources in those areas of the city and surrounding county where their jurisdictions and service areas overlap in a way that is intended to ensure the fastest response to emergency situations. The policy replaces one that allowed either department to essentially ignore a potentially life-threatening circumstance that was technically occurring outside that particular department’s jurisdictional service area even when that department was the most logical responder in that its personnel and equipment were physically closer to the location of the incident than all of the other department’s firefighter and paramedic teams.
The normally cooperative attitude of agency-to-agency privilege and coordination between the City of Victorville and San Bernardino County came under challenge to the point of breakdown as the result of multiple shifts going back several decades with regard to the agency entrusted to provide the city with fire protection and emergency medical service.
At the time of its incorporation in 1962, the City of Victorville was indirectly dependent upon the county fire department, which provided supervision of the team of volunteer on-call firefighters that composed the new city’s fire department, which had existed pre-incorporation in one form or another since 1926. In 1976, the city recruited Rudy Cabriales, a one-time border patrol agent with the Immigration and Naturalization Service who had transitioned to a career as a firefighter in his hometown of Calexico before rising to become the fire chief of Coachella in Riverside County, to relocate to Victorville and become fire chief of an operation transitioning from being a county-supervised team of volunteers to a professional department. Cabriales built that organization into what some considered to be the premier fire department in the High Desert, and retired after 21 years as fire chief in 1997. Cabriales then ran, unsuccessfully, for the Victorville City Council in 1998. He ran again in 2000, achieving victory and a berth on the council.
In 2004, the Hesperia City Council in a highly controversial move closed out its municipal fire department and contracted with the county fire department for fire safety service.
In 2007, the City of Victorville undertook an intensified discussion of augmenting its fire department with the addition of a licensed paramedic on each of the primary fire engines run out of the city’s three fully-staffed fire stations. The full range of discussions extended to the advisability of phasing in that paramedic capability over the then-upcoming three or four years, or taking a leaf out of Hesperia’s book and instead dissolving the fire department in favor of contracting with the county fire department, which already had paramedics aboard its engines. Ultimately in May 2008, the city council, in a 3-to-2 vote, with Cabriales and then-City Councilwoman JoAnn Almond dissenting, voted to disband the Victorville municipal fire department as of July 1, 2008, and to contract with San Bernardino County and its fire service division for fire protection and emergency medical services.
Cabriales, while at the time of that vote acknowledging that the county fire department was capable of providing an adequate level of service, said he regretted the city surrendering local control of a vital city function, and he insisted the city was every bit as capable of providing its residents with adequate paramedic and emergency medical service as the county.
For ten years, the county fire department functioned as the fire protection service provider and de facto fire department for Victorville. During that interim, the county fire service division reoriented the terms by which it provided fire prevention, fire suppression and emergency medical service to the county’s cities that did not have municipal fire departments of their own. In the timeframe between 2015 and 2017, four of the county’s cities – San Bernardino, Needles, Twentynine Palms and Upland – moved to dissolve their existing municipal or community-based fire departments and allow the county fire division to take on that responsibility within their city limits. In forging those deals, the county arranged to have those cities annex the entirety of their city limits into a county fire service assessment zone, which entailed individual homeowners or parcel owners having to pay an annual assessment, which was at that point pegged in the neighborhood of $150. In addition, those cities agreed to divert a portion of their property tax revenue to the county to pay for the fire protection and paramedic service.
This represented a change in how the county had structured the fire service arrangements with cities in the past, one that formerly involved a simple contractual arrangement by which those cities paid the county a set amount of money out of their operating budgets – referred to as general funds – in return for the service.
Victorville balked at applying the new model – the one applied to San Bernardino, Twnetynine Palms, Needles and Upland – as the ten-year contract entered into in 2008 was winding toward a conclusion, since renewing the service arrangement would have involved annexing the 73.74-square mile city into a fire service assessment zone.
Instead, Victorville moved to recreate the municipal fire department it had closed out in July 2008 and transition back to owning and running the Victorville Fire Department. The county and the advocates of its fire protection division, including the firefighters themselves and their union, did not cotton to the idea of Victorville reasserting itself into the role of directly operating its own fire department. The matter grew somewhat contentious, and the ten-year anniversary of the county takeover of the fire department – July 1, 2018 – came and went with the county fire department still in the role of the city’s service provider.
In March 2009, the city had everything in place to once more take on the responsibility and burden of operating its own department, and the county fire department moved out of Victorville’s fire stations, where the fire engines, paramedic units, pumper trucks and other apparatus and equipment either previously owned by the city or paid for by the city as a part of the ten-year contract were supposed to be left in place.
Shortly thereafter, city officials learned that some of the equipment, tools, gear, implements and tackle had in some cases disappeared or was damaged, in at least a few instances as the result of sabotage, despite the county’s responsibility under the contract signed in 2008 that it maintain and preserve those items.
County officials, somewhat obliquely acknowledged that some damage had occurred, against a backdrop or atmosphere of employee and union resentment over the county’s loss of the Victorville contract.
The contretemps between the city and county fire services was palpable in the very strict protocol that evolved between the two entities immediately after the city fire department resumed operations. That protocol included a somewhat torturous application of a stilted city/county mutual aid agreement, which called for prior authorization for assistance across the city/county boundaries. The terms of the agreement were interpreted in a very strict sense, such that in emergency situations, when a city fire crew was closer to an event in the unincorporated county area outside the periphery of the city than a county fire unit was or when a county fire crew happened to be more proximate to the scene of a fire or medical emergency within the city, neither would respond to the scene of the emergency unless given explicit direction from their respective senior commanders through their dispatch centers to do so. This resulted in response delays in numerous instances, a subset of which entailed some dire circumstances wherein lives were put in danger.
At some point relatively recently, county officials and city officials, sizing up the situation and considering what was at stake – the safety of the public – decided to let bygones be bygones, so that now the principle guiding both departments is the stated intention and practice of “automatic response,” meaning that the closest unit will respond to a request for service even if that requires crossing jurisdictional lines, boundaries or borders.
In a document titled “Agreement for Automatic Aid and Mutual Aid between San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and City of Victorville” ratified by the Victorville City Council on Tuesday February 2, the concept of mutual aid is laid out. Thereafter, the document states, “District and city agree to participate in [a] boundary drop to adhere as closely as practical to the “closest resource concept” for the agreed-upon call types identified in the operating plan and signed by the fire chiefs of [the] district and [the] city.”

A corpse found near Amboy Road and Dandy Road on Sunday, January 31 represents the sixth body found in the area in or around Wonder Valley in the last 14 months, and has triggered even more intense speculation than was afoot previously suggesting a killer is at large in area.
Nevertheless, law enforcement officials have downplayed the discovery and intensifying rumors that the deaths are related and represent anything more than likely misadventures in the unforgiving Mojave Desert environment.
Unknown is whether one of the bodies is that of Erica Lloyd, who had driven from her home in Northern California to Joshua Tree National Park, back home and then back to Joshua Tree within a 48 period before vanishing last June. In December, it was disclosed that one of the bodies was that of a Wonder Valley resident, James Escalante, who nine days after Lloyd went missing disappeared from virtually the same spot where Lloyd’s damaged vehicle was left abandoned and less than two months later was found dead.
Three of the six bodies found have now been identified. Seemingly, enough time has elapsed since two of the bodies were discovered for DNA testing to have been completed to determine whether those match any known missing individuals from the local area, the Southern California region or elsewhere. If such identification has been made, there has been no public disclosure. DNA and other forensic examinations are being carried out on the body found January 31. It is not yet known whether results from those tests subjected to comparisons with available data on known missing persons will provide an identifying match.
Meanwhile, many of the residents of Wonder Valley, a remote unincorporated county community of fewer than 700 residents some ten miles east of Twentynine Palms spread out over 146.72 square miles, have expressed their belief that they are not receiving any protection either from the State of California or the County of San Bernardino. The California Highway Patrol no longer regularly oversees that stretch of Highway 62. The County of San Bernardino shut down its primary presence in town, Fire Station 45, in August 2019, and has discontinued sheriff’s department patrols, dispatching personnel to Wonder Valley only upon specific calls for service deemed serious enough to warrant a response.
The Lloyd and Escalante disappearances are both baffling and troubling, the more so because they occurred within the same relatively tight eight-to-ten-day timeframe, indications that both were or may have been in virtually the same spot when they disappeared, that law enforcement has, officially at least, ruled out foul play in the disappearances of both in the face of indications otherwise, and involve circumstances that in some respects come across as downright incomprehensible.
Erika Lloyd, a 37-year-old single mother who worked as a hairdresser, sojourned from her Bay Area home in Walnut Creek on Thursday, June 11 or thereabouts to San Bernardino County’s Desert Outback, where she had announced her intention to camp for a few days at Joshua Tree National Park. Her friends and family say the COVID-19 crisis had put a crimp in her work and cash flow as a beautician, and the situation suggests that she was seeking to make a getaway to the national park as a break from the tension in her life. She left her 12-year-old son in the care of a friend in Walnut Creek before departing. Of note is that before leaving, she deleted the contents of her Facebook page, though she remained active on Instagram until June 15.
According to her sister-in-law, Lloyd was “under a lot of stress and wanted to get away and unplug.”
An unconfirmed report is that one of Ericka’s friends, whose precise identity or gender is not available through any source found by the Sentinel, moved to Twentynine Palms in April 2020. There has been speculation that Lloyd had perhaps made the trip to see that person. It is unknown to the Sentinel whether Lloyd’s phone records provide any information with regard to whether she attempted to contact or indeed contacted that person.
In phone contact with her family and friends after her departure from Walnut Creek on June 11, Lloyd indicated she was on a road trip.
There is evidence suggesting she covered the roughly 533 miles between Walnut Creek and Joshua Tree National Park on Thursday, June 11, and was camping at the Jumbo Rocks campground the nights of June 11 and Friday, June 12, having left early on Saturday, June 13 to make the 533-mile return trip to Walnut Creek, arriving later that day, and spending the night there with her son and her roommate. The following day, Sunday, June 14, she departed Walnut Creek, again without her son, to return to the Jumbo Rocks campground, where, she represented to her friends, two people identified simply as “James” and “Christian” were looking after her campsite and, presumably, her camping gear. Later in the day of June 14, Lloyd arrived at Jumbo Rocks Campground. She noted in her journal that James and Christian were not there.
According to Lloyd’s mother, she spoke with her daughter for the last time on June 14 or June 15. She said Ericka was “talking really fast” and it sounded like she was driving. There was no known telephonic contact between Lloyd and anyone after that.
Park rangers on Monday, June 15 came across Lloyd’s vandalized 2006 Black Honda Accord in the parking area for the Indian Cove campground, some 21.9 miles from Jumbo Rocks but still within the confines of 1,234 square-mile Joshua Tree National Park. There was no camping equipment in the car or in its immediate vicinity when the rangers observed the vehicle. The back window had been completely shattered, the windshield on the passenger’s side in the front had been broken, and the dashboard damaged. The rangers noted the vehicle’s presence in a report, and left a note on the car. That evening, the car had been removed.
The next day, Tuesday June 16, a video captured the car leaving the north entrance into/exit from Joshua Tree National Park at 1:20 p.m, and the car was later videoed passing a school in Twentynine Palms at 2:50 p.m.
Around 4 p.m. on June 16, a California Highway Patrolman spotted Lloyd’s Accord parked on Shelton Road, east of Twentynine Palms, just north of the intersection with Highway 62, facing south toward the highway, at a distance just shy of 23 miles from Jumbo Rocks campground. The car was blocking the roadway such that it inhibited access onto Shelton Road, which is unpaved. The CHP summoned Twentynine Palms-based Bailey’s Auto Repair & Towing to tow the car. David Bailey, the proprietor of the tow company, subsequently told News Channel 3, based in the Coachella Valley, that the Accord’s rear window was completely busted, that the front windshield was smashed on the passenger side, that the airbag had deployed and radio was damaged. In addition, Bailey said, there was damage to the outside front of the vehicle in that the bottom of the radiator and the air conditioning condenser were pushed backwards as if the car had hit a very large object head-on. Bailey speculated that the car had run into a berm beside the road near the intersection of Highway 62 and Shelton Road.
Beginning on June 16, Lloyd’s friends calling her cell phone encountered no answer. They continued to try to reach her.
On Wednesday, June 17, her family reported her missing, giving indication she might be in the area of Joshua Tree National Park. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department dispatched a helicopter to scour the area. That effort was not fruitful.
Lloyd’s camping gear was located at a camping site in Jumbo Rocks Campground. An expensive Yeti cooler she was not known to have owned was found among her possessions at the campsite.
The Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Station was put on a special alert to be on the lookout for any sightings of her throughout the entirety of the more than 3,000 square mile desert area that includes Joshua Tree, Joshua Tree National Park, Twentynine Palms, Yucca Valley and outlying areas. Park Rangers began searching areas within the park. Sheriff’s deputies, including ones with canines, searched areas at the entrance of the park and its periphery, as well as along Highway 62.
The Joshua Tree Search and Rescue Team engaged in an effort to find her or spot any signs that she was in the area.
On June 19, Lloyd’s parents caught a flight from Maryland to California in an effort to help with and intensify the search for their daughter. They posted photos of her and posters alerting the public to her disappearance in the area within the national park and in around Twentynine Palms and Wonder Valley. Those posters and media alerts put out by her family and law enforcement sought input from anyone who had seen her.
Friends and family persisted in trying to reach her by calling her cell phone. On June 20, it was answered by a man who said he had found the phone on June 18 “on Cottonwood,” that is on Cottonwood Drive in Twentynine Palms.
The media and poster blitz related to Lloyd’s disappearance prompted Martin Cox, who lives in Los Angeles County but owns a home in the desert, to come forward, saying he saw a woman matching Lloyd’s description on Saturday, June 20 at a rest stop on the 10 Freeway near Whitewater, some 57 miles from Wonder Valley and 45 miles away from the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. According to Cox, he believed a woman he saw “just staring off toward the west” who had no visible injuries was Lloyd, based on both her physical appearance and a distinct tattoo on her arm matching one that Lloyd had, which had been featured on the missing posters her family had distributed.
In the immediate aftermath of Lloyd’s vanishing and the search that ensued, the sheriff’s department put out that no foul play was suspected in the disappearance, and that there were no indications Lloyd drove her car out of the park. That would prove inconsistent, however, with the videos that later emerged indicating the Accord had left the park on the afternoon of June 16 and had been driven into Twentynine Palms, then ultimately to the intersection of Highway 62 and Shelton Road. The search conducted by the search and rescue teams in the days and week after Lloyd’s disappearance were mostly concentrated within the national park.
On June 25, 2020, ten days after Lloyd’s car was observed by rangers in a damaged and/or vandalized state in the parking area for the Indian Cove Campground, nine days after the car was found abandoned near the intersection of Highway 62 and Shelton Road and eight days after Lloyd was reported missing, 56-year-old James Escalante left the home located off of Shelton Road he shared with his girlfriend, whose first name is Sherry, and rode his bicycle toward Highway 62 to assist his girlfriend’s friend, Dee, whose vehicle was stuck in the sand, described as just off Highway 62, a mile or so from Shelton Road.
When Escalante, who also went by the nickname Blackhawk, reached the intersection of Highway 62 and Shelton Road, he used his cell phone to call Sherry, telling her that he could not find Dee or her car. Sherry thereupon made a three-way conference call to Dee and told her to honk her horn. According to Sherry, she could hear over the phone the honking of the horn. Escalante indicated he too could hear the horn and told Black, “I got it,” and hung up. Thereafter, Escalante never made contact with his Dee, and was never heard from again.
On July 22, 2020, a dirt bike rider found human remains in the desert at a location not precisely delineated.
On August 8, 2020, a man who was going shooting in the desert found a badly decomposed body on Shelton Road in Wonder Valley.
Oddly, Sherry did not report Escalante as missing until September 7, 2020, doing so after Escalante’s family expressed concern about his unexplained disappearance.
Meanwhile, the Lloyd family, still intent on finding Ericka, intensified its efforts, and leased space on billboards in the Morongo Valley to feature oversized and highly visible photos of their daughter and make notice of her being missing, while continuing to put up photos and posters throughout Joshua Tree National Park and in businesses in the Morongo Basin to encourage anyone who had sighted her to come forward. They also hired a mining and cave expert, Doug Billings, to explore those areas throughout the 3,000 square mile desert area encompassing Joshua Tree National Park, Wonder Valley, Twntynine Palms and their surrounding areas where Ericka was likely to have become lost or perished.
While conducting his search, Billings came upon a red bike believed to be the one ridden by Escalante when he disappeared. In the same timeframe that Billings was carrying out his search, two sets of human remains were found. One of those was located roughly a quarter of a mile south of Amboy Road and Wilson Road. It is believed that Billings’ search of the area led to that find. The other corpse was not too distant from Shelton Road and Highway 62. Based upon limited information available, that discovery appears to be the remains found on August 8.
Shortly after the discovery, one of those bodies was determined to be that of a man. Investigators said they found a cell phone nearby and believe it was Escalante’s.
On December 15, 2020, according to a published report, the coroner’s office notified Escalante’s family, who live in South Carolina, that the remains found on August 8 were those of James Escalante.
As of this time, there has been no disclosure as to the whether the other body that was found has been identified as Lloyd.
This week, after learning of the January 31 discovery of the remains near Amboy Road and Dandy Road, the Sentinel inquired of the sheriff’s department’s homicide detail as to whether reporting on the incident would interfere with any ongoing investigation. That prompted a response to the effect that such a report would not obstruct the department’s operations relating to the matter. Shortly thereafter, the Sentinel was contacted by the sheriff’s department’s spokeswoman, Cynthia Bachman.
Bachman said the information available to her was that there had been four bodies discovered between December 2019 and last Sunday.
Bachman said “Human remains were found in Joshua Tree National Park on December 23, 2019. On January 14, 2020 the remains were identified as Paul Miller, and his family was notified.”
Then, according to Bachman, “On January 16, 2020, human remains were found in Joshua Tree National Park. The remains found on January 16, 2020 were identified on February 12, 2020 as Tawny Camarillo. The cause of death is pending. Camarillo was last seen on May 13, 2019, in the area of Yucca Valley. Camarillo was reported missing on May 14, 2019.”
Bachman said “On July 22, 2020, a dirt bike rider found human remains in the desert. Those remains have not been identified.”
With regard to the corpse found last Sunday near Amboy Road and Dandy Road, Bachman said, “On January 31, 2021, human remains were found in a field area. Positive identification is pending.”
Bachman made no reference to the body discovered on August 8 proximate to Shelton Road and Highway 62, which was determined to be that of Escalante. Nor did she reference the body found on an as-yet undisclosed date in the same rough timeframe approximately a quarter of a mile south of Amboy Road and Wilson Road.
With regard to the discover of the Miller and Camarillo corpses or the bodies that turned up on July 22, 2019 and January 31, 2021, Bachman said, “There is no evidence that any of these cases are related.”

Ontario International Airport is staking a further claim to legitimacy as an international aerodrome with the addition of flights to and from San Salvador International Airport in San Salvador’s capital city of El Salvador in July.
Avianca Airlines, headquartered in Bogota, Columbia, announced that it will begin service between Ontario Airport and the Central American country this week. The new route represents the first service from the Inland Empire to Central America.
“We are thrilled to welcome Avianca to Ontario,” said Ontario City Councilman Alan Wapner, who is the president of the Ontario International Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. “Our international gateway airport and the Inland Empire have much to offer and we are confident that Avianca will quickly realize the benefits of bringing new service to Ontario.”
A member of the Star Alliance, Avianca will operate from Terminal 2 at Ontario Airport and serve the route with Airbus 319 aircraft, accommodating as many as 120 passengers in business and economy class seating.
According to a schedule released with the announcement, planes will depart from Ontario every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 1:15 a.m. California time and arrive in El Salvador at 7:05 a.m. San Salvador time. On Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, planes will depart from El Salvador at 7:10 p.m. San Salvador time and arrive at Ontario at 11:30 p.m. California time.
Mark Thorpe, the chief chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority, sounded an optimistic tone in noting, “Ontario is experiencing the quickest recovery among California airports, and third fastest among airports in the U.S., since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. While domestic travel accounts for much of Ontario International Airport’s recovery, it will be particularly gratifying to add Avianca’s international service.”
Airlines operating at Ontario Airport have announced plans to restart or initiate new flights to nine U.S. destinations by May. Meanwhile, international carrier Volaris began nonstop service from Ontario to its Mexico City base in November.

Two weeks after he was invited to do so, Redlands City Attorney Dan McHugh has yet to mount a defense of the policy that Redlands City Manager Charles Duggan has put in place preventing the city’s residents from directly participating in city council meetings.
In March 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a blanket order restricting large public gatherings from taking place as part of an effort to prevent the unmanageable spread of the coronavirus. In doing so, Newsom waived certain provisions of the Brown Act, California’s open government and public meeting law, specifically those which required that legislative bodies such as city councils, county boards of supervisors and agency directors such as school district and water district boards meet in a single physical location within the boundaries of the jurisdiction that particular legislative body represents. That waiver was made so the bodies in question could meet remotely by electronic means or teleconferencing. The governor in giving his order did not waive the requirement that those bodies accommodate members of the public in providing their input with regard to the issues or matters which the body in question is to take a vote on or enter a decision about.
Some cities facilitated the public participating directly in the electronic or online meeting process by supplying access codes to the citizenry which allow them to take part in the teleconferencing. Other cities and agencies gave the public telephonic access to the meetings, providing a public comment period during which phone calls were taken to allow those callers to weigh in on the topics or items being discussed at that particular meeting, prior to the city council’s or board’s decision being rendered through a vote.
A relatively smaller sampling of cities used more restrictive means with regard to public input; among those was Redlands. Redlands did not allow residents or the general public to phone in during the meeting, but instead required that members of the public wishing to address the city council with regard to the issues that panel was to discuss or vote on submit comment in writing, either by email or in a hard copy letter form by 4 p.m. the day of the meeting. A city employee would then read those statements submitted prior to the deadline during a designated portion of the meeting. After the city council’s May 19, 2020 meeting, that policy was changed to a requirement that the comments be submitted 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Those statements submitted after the deadline are not read and do not become part of the public record.
City officials said the policy was intended to allow citizens to communicate with the city’s ultimate decision-making panel, the city council, in a meaningful and timely fashion. A number of residents, open government advocates and legal experts, however, have pointed out that the policy constitutes a violation of the Brown Act, specifically those elements of the law which had not been waived by the governor. Those provisions of the Brown Act yet in place require that members of the public be afforded the opportunity to directly address governing boards during their meetings.
According to David Snyder, an attorney with the First Amendment Coalition in Sacramento, the city’s imposition of the requirement that comments be made in writing in advance of the meeting is out of keeping with California law relating to open public meetings.
“One requirement of the Brown Act is the public has the right to directly address the legislative body, and that means talking to the legislative body in real time at the time it is about to vote,” Snyder said.
Snyder said it appears Redlands city officials took Governor Newsom’s relatively narrow waiver of elements of the Brown Act to facilitate the holding of remote meetings and widened it to illegally obviate parts of the Brown Act that remain intact.
Snyder said, “The governor’s executive order waived the requirement…that all legislative bodies have a quorum in a physical location within their respective jurisdiction… [and that] a quorum of the council had to actually be in Redlands or at City Hall. The governor’s order and waiver made it possible to hold meetings remotely, but it did not waive the requirement that the public has the right to address the city council. The governor’s order does not change that right. The city cannot limit the public’s right to directly address the council by requiring the comments to be in writing 24 hours before the meeting takes place. Direct access to a legislative body was not one of the public’s rights that was waived by the governor.”
Snyder said the Brown Act ensures “the opportunity the public has to tell the city council or school board in person what they think about what that body is doing. Direct interaction is critical. That is not just a technical requirement but foundational to the right to speak to the legislative body in real time. It is the responsibility of city councils and school boards to figure out how to conduct meetings where that direct interchange can take place despite the pandemic.”
Adherence to the Brown Act is not an abstract principle, Snyder said. The Brown Act, as embodied in the California Government Code from Section 54950 through Section 54963, carries with it the weight of law, Snyder said. Government Code Section 54959 states “Each member of a legislative body who attends a meeting of that legislative body where action is taken in violation of any provision of this chapter, and where the member intends to deprive the public of information to which the member knows or has reason to know the public is entitled under this chapter, is guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Though criminal prosecutions under the Brown Act are rare, Snyder said, the law itself and its language gives those wishing to pursue civil action recourse against any officials or bodies which can be demonstrated to have violated the Brown Act.
“The City of Redlands is definitely exposing itself to legal liability and the possibility of a lawsuit when it does not allow someone to comment,” Snyder said. “If such a suit were to be filed, the city could be found to be in violation of the Brown Act. That would form the basis of a judgment against the city.”
Snyder said logistical problems relating to accommodating large numbers of citizens wanting to address the city council with regard to action the council is to take exacerbated by the complications brought on by incorporating precautions relating to the spread of COVID-19 will not suffice as a legal justification for precluding the public’s rights to participate in the public decision-making process.
“Long lines of residents filing in to offer their comment to a legislative board happen all the time,” Snyder said. “City council meetings often run late. It is the city council’s obligation to figure out a way to both conduct meetings in as expeditious of a manner as possible and still honor the rights the public has under the Brown Act. These are challenges cities have had before the COVID pandemic. If city officials have 200 people who want to comment, they have to deal with that. A legislative body cannot take allowing people to comment or provide input off the table because it was a hassle in one instance. A city has to provide people with the ability to comment in real time. Those are obligations the city has to work out. This practice of requiring that written comments be submitted before the meeting does not meet the letter of the law and it does not allow members of the public to address their concerns directly to the body.”
On January 21 the Sentinel phoned Redlands City Attorney Dan McHugh, seeking to engage with him in regard to the legality or illegality of the City of Redlands’ public participation policy for city council meetings and hearings. McHugh did not return the call and the Sentinel followed up with a letter/email to him on January 22.
The email inquired as to whether he was the architect, or one of the architects, of the policy that requires the pubic to provide comments and/or questions regarding pending city council action in writing 24 hours prior to the meeting, and if it was his position that the 24 hours-prior-to-the-meeting submission deadline for public comments was a reasonable one that is in compliance with the Brown Act and all applicable law.
The Sentinel further asked McHugh if he was prepared to defend the city against any legal challenge that might arise from the city excluding input that arrived after the 24 hours-in-advance deadline from the public record of the city council’s consideration/approval of an item on the council agenda.
The Sentinel asked McHugh what the city’s rationale was for not allowing for telephonic contact between members of the public and the council during meetings.
The Sentinel requested from McHugh a citation of any specific language in the governor’s order which waived that element of the Brown Act requiring governing boards/legislative bodies to provide for direct interaction with the public during their meetings.
McHugh did not respond to the Sentinel.
Redlands City Clerk Jeanne McDonald did consent to speak with regard to the issue, acknowledging that “We [City Hall] flipped a little bit” in changing the deadline for submitting written comments from 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting to 24 hours in advance.
Without directly addressing why the city, in the face of resident discontent, did not reinstitute the same day deadline for providing written comment to the council, Donaldson defended keeping the 24-hours-in-advance deadline by saying, “It’s something we don’t want to change too often. We might start confusing people. At this point people are very familiar with those guidelines.”
She did not offer an explanation as to why the city had changed from the same-day deadline to the 24-hours-in-advance deadline.
Donaldson said she had taken the liberty of having comments that arrive too late for inclusion at one meeting read at the following meeting.
“What I have done with people who miss the deadline generally, unless they tell me otherwise, is have their statements read at the next meeting,” she said. “Some have not wanted me to do that, but for the most part, things that are submitted the day of the meeting are read at the next meeting.”
She acknowledged that in many cases the input offered by residents is time sensitive, as the council’s decision relating to many things takes place the day those items are first on the agenda.
As to Redlands’ requirement that citizen input be provided in writing rather than the city receiving phone calls from residents during the course of the meeting, as is being done with most other cities, Donaldson said, “We are trying to work toward” accepting calls from city residents during the course of meetings.
She said she did not have the technical expertise to know how the phone calls could be incorporated into the city council’s videoconferencing, saying that was something that needed to be handled by the city’s information technology department.
As to how the city arrived at the policy it now has, she said “It was a joint decision” involving City Manager Charles Duggan, City Attorney Dan McHugh, herself and some department heads. “We wanted to be fair,” she said. “We wanted to make it procedurally doable. It was what we came up with.” Nevertheless, she said, it was Duggan who had led the discussion, pushing toward the ultimate derivation of the policy.
“He is the city’s emergency operations director, and the ultimate decision-maker for those kinds of things,” Donaldson said.
With regard to Snyder’s contentions that the city’s policy is out of step with the Brown Act, Donaldson said, “I would have to defer to the city attorney. I can’t really respond to that with any kind of expertise.”
She said the city, city staff and the city council were being guided by McHugh, and were proceeding under the assumption he was offering competent legal direction.
“I believe we do comply with the Brown Act, within the guidelines of the governor’s orders,” she said.
Donaldson took exception to Snyder’s assertion that Redlands is out of compliance with the Brown Act and had run afoul of the law by not allowing for an exchange between the public and the city council during the council meetings.
“There is no dialogue that goes on between the public and council,” she said, asserting that has always been the case. “That was the way it was before COVID. The public could get up and they did have their time to speak, but there isn’t a dialogue between the public and the council. The public speaks and that is for the record. After that, the council has a discussion. There really is not an ongoing dialogue during the meetings.”
Donaldson said that the custom of the council not involving itself in a discussion with the public during the course of meetings was intended to ensure compliance with the Brown Act, which requires that all issues discussed by the council be agendized prior to the meeting. The public often strays into areas not on the agenda, she said, and if the council were to involve itself in expostulation and reply with citizens, the council would find itself discussing things that were not on the agenda.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s Marijuana Enforcement Team in recent weeks has encountered a wave of large-scale cannabis cultivation operations, predominantly in remote desert locations.
A pattern has emerged in the activity, which more often than not involves foreign nationals or recent immigrants to America, who commonly assert in their legal defense that they interpreted the recent liberalization of marijuana laws as license for them to grow the plant for profit.
Of note is that in taking action to shutter the facilities and effect the arrests of those involved in the elicit enterprises, officials are defining the greenhouses where the cultivation occurs as outdoor rather than indoor premises.
While California law allows adults to engage in the growing of up to six marijuana plants, and authorities have in many cases chosen to look the other way with regard to gardens involving a dozen or more plantings, the operations in question are boldly large, in some of the cases rivaling or exceeding the size of industrial cannabis nurseries. Regulations layered into the law further disallow in most jurisdictions, as in the case of San Bernardino County, the growing of marijuana outdoors. Commercial cultivation of cannabis must take place indoors under such regulations. Moreover, such operations require a permit and licensing.
On February 2, a team of deputies and investigators, in possession of a search warrant and in response to reports that a massive unlicensed and illicit marijuana cultivation operation was in place on property in El Mirage, swooped onto the site at 2 p.m. There, some 12.5 miles northwest of Adelanto, they found 12 people on or immediately proximate to the property, which featured greenhouses in which 18,884 plants were growing.
After a brief investigation into the circumstance, five of the dozen people at the site were arrested.
“The investigations revealed the cannabis cultivation was not in compliance with California’s Medical and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act and San Bernardino County’s ordinance prohibiting commercial cannabis activity,” according to a statement by the sheriff’s department. “San Bernardino County has an ordinance prohibiting commercial cannabis activity, which includes growing marijuana plants outdoors.”
Taken into custody were Chen Guo Jin, 48, of Sanford, Florida; Johnny Chan, 39, of Los Angeles; Zhi Fei Qian, 57, of Apple Valley; Kefei Wang, 34, of Concord; and Zhen Williamson, 52, of Denham Springs, Louisiana.
“The sheriff’s gangs/narcotics division will continue to enforce California’s cannabis laws and San Bernardino County’s ordinance regarding cannabis cultivation and distribution,” the department’s prepared statement read. “Property owners who are growing marijuana or are aware their tenants are growing marijuana on their properties violate state law and local ordinances, and may also be subject to civil or criminal sanctions. Those found guilty of violating state law and the county ordinance are subject to fines, prosecution and property seizure.”
The El Mirage raid on Tuesday came six days after similar busts at two locations, one in Lucerne Valley and one in Johnson Valley in which 1,903 marijuana plants and 306.5 pounds of harvested marijuana were seized on January 27. Arrested in conjunction with those cultivation operations were Basemen Hernandez-Cruz, 30, of Oxnard, and his brother, Gerardo Hernandez-Cruz, 21, of Santa Maria.
On January 6 at 8:30 a.m., the sheriff’s Marijuana Enforcement Team served a search warrant in the 2600 block of Parkdale Road in Adelanto, where they found 19,998 marijuana plants along with 186 pounds of harvested and partially cured marijuana. Also at the site were three firearms and a stolen truck.
Joining the drug squad in that operation was the sheriff’s department’s desert gang suppression team. The nearly 20,000 plants were being grown in 24 large greenhouses on the property. The law enforcement officers arrested and then cite-released 12 people who were present on the property. Members of both law enforcement teams spent more than eight hours at the site, dismantling the cultivation facilities and interrogating the suspects, all but one of whom claimed to be residents of Adelanto.
Cited were Shihua Want, 70, of Adelanto; Shi Xin Jiang, 66, of Adelanto; Liyon Dong, 36, of Adelanto; Xin Zheng Guan, 38, of Adelanto; Mei Jin You, 49, of Adelanto; Chun Tao Lu, 41, of Adelanto; Xiaoqun Yu, 53, of Adelanto; Jian Feng Yu, 47, of Adelanto; Wan Huang Wu, 42, of Adelanto; Xing Qiang Li, 45, of Adelanto; Xihong Huang, 26, of Adelanto; and Guang Yi, 22, of El Monte.
