Measure K, the initiative passed by two-thirds of the county’s voters in November 2020 calling for a drastic overhaul of county government by reducing the total compensation of county supervisors and limiting them to a single four-year term, must be implemented, the California Court of Appeal for the Fourth District has tentatively ruled.
The primary upshot of the ruling, barring an unlikely change of heart on the part of the appellate court, is that the members of the board of supervisors will see their total annual compensation reduced from what at present is approximately $270,000 to $60,000.
The Court of Appeal has yet to set a date for final oral arguments as to whether it should finalize its reversal of a decision made by San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Donald Alvarez in October 2021 that neither of the key provisions in the reform measure – the pay reduction as well as the single term limit – could be put into place.
Alvarez took up the matter after the board of supervisors sued its own employee, San Bernardino County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Lynna Monell to prevent her from effectuating the passage of Measure K, which had been sponsored by the Red Brennan Group and then-Fifth Supervisorial District Candidate Nadia Renner.
According to a legal analysis of the appellate court’s tentative ruling, the five current members of the board of supervisors will continue to receive their current average annual total compensation of $263,466.95 – consisting of $174,884.83 in salary, $20,461.61 in other pay and $68,120.51 in benefits – for the remainder of their current terms.

It appears that Superintendent Randal Bassett is on the outs with the Fontana Unified School District and its board after nearly five-and-a-half years in the district’s top administrative spot.
Officially, the district is maintaining that Bassett is yet in place. But Bassett, who normally occupied a prominent spot on the board dais during public meetings and served as the host and face of the district under normal circumstances, was absent from a marathon board meeting that began on Wednesday night but stretched into the wee hours of Thursday morning as the board deliberated in an extended closed session with regard to the termination of an undisclosed district employee. Upon the board adjourning back into open session after the executive session that was conducted outside the sight or hearing of the public, Bassett had been replaced by the district’s superintendent of business services, Ryan DiGiulio.

In November, 63 municipal posts throughout San Bernardino County will be up for election. One of those positions, a council seat in Victorville, is not currently occupied. There are two existing and filled positions on the Colton City Council which are to be consolidated into two others on that panel following the November election and will thereafter cease to exist, as the Colton City Council, which now stands at six council members and the city’s mayor, will be reduced to four council members and the mayor.
While a handful of those incumbents will probably not seek reelection, it is anticipated that the vast majority of those in office who must stand for reelection to retain their positions will do so. With the exceptions of Wade Evans, who was appointed last year to the Needles City Council to succeed Tim Terral; Perri Melnick, who was appointed to the Big Bear Lake City Council in July 2021 to replace Mayor David Caretto; Keron Jones, who was appointed to the Adelanto City Council in June 2021 to replace Gerry Hernandez; Continue reading →

Assemblywoman Eloise Gómez Reyes’ legislative effort to regulate warehouse development locally has stalled out.
Assembly Bill 2840, which was authored by Gómez Reyes (Democrat-47th District) will not be considered in this year’s legislative session because of what those opposed to it said were uneven elements in its makeup.
Gómez Reyes said she had elected to withhold the bill at this time because of “concerns around maintaining the integrity of the bill after committee-proposed amendments.”
Gómez Reyes, the Assembly majority leader, introduced AB 2840 in March. If passed in its original form, it would have required local governments, when approving new logistics projects of 100,000 square feet or Continue reading →

With the advent of July, Waste Management Inc. is coming in to establish itself as Chino Hills’ franchised trash hauler, displacing Republic Services, which was formerly known as Taormina Industries.
The changeover from Republic represents by some estimations a healthy realignment in the complicated dynamic and balancing of influence related to refuse handling in what is the largest county geographically in the United States, involving a business that traditionally throughout the United States is intertwined with the mob, gangsters and racketeers.
At the same time, there is concern that the city evinced favoritism in awarding the franchise, which went to a service provider with a demonstrated history of using questionable methods, including bribery and intimidation, to advance its standing in the industry.
San Bernardino County has for the most part managed to sidestep some of the worst elements of underworld culture that coexist with many of the companies that dispose of domestic, commercial and industrial trash, and tales of bodies ending up in the waste stream buried in the region’s landfills are relatively rare. There have been along the way, nevertheless, efforts at influencing politicians and government officials in illicit ways that reflect poorly on the trash hauling industry, certain companies, the politicians who are in their pockets and the politicians who are not taking bribes but tolerate their colleagues who do.

A zone-tailed hawk was observed for the first time in Joshua Tree National Park in May.
The zone-tailed hawk, known by its scientific name, Buteo albonotatus, is a medium-sized hawk native to deserts and other warm and dry areas of the Americas. A sleek that can be found year-round in various regions of South America and in the U.S. during the spring and summer, the zone-tailed hawk is visually similar to the turkey vulture, which in the United States is a common scavenger. Because its plumage, flight style and broad black wingspan resembles that of the turkey vulture, it sometimes blends into groups of vultures. Continue reading →
