The A. K. Smiley Library’s resident historian for the last twenty years has been appointed to fill the vacant position on the San Bernardino Community College District Board of Trustees.
In the wake of Donald L. Singer’s resignation as a trustee with the San Bernardino Community College District on September 15, the board had been searching for a replacement. Invitations to apply for the post were made, which resulted in eight applications. Singer had been on the board since 2001.
After considering all candidates, the board on October 28 settled on Dr. Nathan D. Gonzales, a historian, who has been employed within the A.K. Smiley Library Special Collections Room for two decades.
Gonzales earned his Ph.D. in history in 2006 from the University of California, Riverside. In 2013, he acceded to the position of curator and archivist of the special collections room as well as the library’s Lincoln Memorial Shrine museum, which includes overseeing the museum’s budget, personnel and its corps of volunteers. He is an adjunct professor in the University of Redlands History Department.
“Dr. Gonzales’ diverse expertise and commitment to education will be a tremendous asset to the board as we work together to uplift students and families,” said San Bernardino Community College District Board Chairwoman Anne L. Viricel.
In his remarks to the board of trustees on Thursday, October 28, Gonzales said his great-grandparents, who were immigrants, had limited educational opportunities, which has supplied him with especial motivation in pushing the college district’s educational goals for its students.
Gonzales joints Dr. Viricel, Dr. Stephanie Houston, Gloria Macias Harrison, John Longville, Frank Reyes, Joseph R. Williams and student trustees Lauren Ashlock and Elena Sanchez on the board.
“With nearly 100 years of service to our region, the San Bernardino Community College District has made an immeasurable difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people,” said Gonzales. “I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my experiences to benefit students, families, and my community.”

The Redlands Passenger Rail Project, an extension of the Metrolink passenger train line that already reaches from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, will begin operations in 2022.
That extension is nine miles long, running from Downtown San Bernardino to Downtown Redlands. The stops on the line will include the San Bernardino Transit Centre, Waterman Avenue, New York Street, and Downtown Redlands.
Testing on the track at various points along the line is being carried out now. Those tests relate to safety elements as well as determining how obtrusive the train will be in terms of sound, rumbling, vibration and line of sight limitations at various junctures and intersections and crossings involving the local road system.
The engines to be tested will be those currently used to pull the Metrolink trains from Union Station in Los Angeles to San Bernardino.
Ultimately, it is the intention of the San Bernardino County Transportation Agency, the prime mover in the project, to utilize diesel multiple units vehicles to provide primary service along the line between Redlands and San Bernardino.  Diesel multiple units are to be powered by tier-4 emissions technology with clean diesel engines, which are quieter, more efficient, and less expensive to operate than Metrolink standard locomotives.
The initial diesel multiple units that will be dedicated to what is called the “Arrow Service,” running between the University of Redlands and Downtown San Bernardino, are expected to be delivered from their German manufacturer shortly after the new year.
Initially, and for some time thereafter, Metrolink diesel engines will power the trains running on the Redlands line.
There is disappointment among some that the newly-created Redlands Rail Project is not being coordinated with the so-called Gold Line, also known as the L-Line.
The Gold Line runs on separate tracks dedicated to passenger transport alone from Downtown Los Angeles to Azusa, and uses lighter cars and more fuel-efficient engines, with staggered departures and arrivals of as little as every eight minutes. The Gold Line is thus heavily used, with its cars nearing capacity on virtually every run. In contrast, Metrolink, which runs far less frequently, consistently travels between Los Angeles and San Bernardino with nearly three-quarters of its seats empty.
The Los Angeles County-based Gold Line Construction Authority is now engaged in extending the Gold Line from Azusa to northern Pomona, and thereafter to Claremont near the San Bernardino County line. The previous intention was to continue with the Gold Line construction across the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County Line by 2024 and then on to Montclair and Ontario Airport by 2028, in time for the Los Angeles Olympics. Ultimately, the Gold Line was to extend to Yucaipa by the late 2040s.
San Bernardino County transportation officials, deterred by the cost of the Gold Line, in 2019 abandoned the extension of the system beyond Claremont, giving up a $41 million State of California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant to help fund the extension of the line from Claremont to Montclair.

Brightline West, which is seeking to construct a high speed rail line from Victorville to Las Vegas, should design its project to ensure that it provides at least three wildlife corridors to allow threatened and endangered species that call the Mojave Desert home to transit from one side of the tracks to the other, California’s U.S. senators, Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla, have told California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Florida-based Brightline West has proposed and has completed some preliminary work toward establishing a 187-mile span of rail tracks that would convey a train carrying passengers moving at a speed of up to 180 miles per hour. The right-of-way for the $8 billion rail system would lie between or run parallel to Interstate 15.
The Federal Railroad Administration on July 8, 2011 issued a record of decision with regard to the project, known as the DesertXpress High-Speed Passenger Train. The record of decision entails a tentative approval of the project, summarizing the environmental review process the Federal Railroad Administration conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and Federal Railroad Administration’s environmental procedures. The record of decision identified the alternatives considered by the Federal Railroad Administration, addressed comments received during the National Environmental Policy Act process for the proposal, and identified the parameters of the project. Last month, the State of California issued a preliminary approval for Brightline to proceed with the construction of a 48-mile high speed rail line from Rancho Cucamonga to Victorville.
Taken together with a rail line from Orange County to Rancho Cucamonga, the high speed rail system is projected to whisk those travelling from Southern California to Las Vegas in slightly more than one-third of the time it currently takes to drive to the Nevada gambling mecca.
Feinstein and Padilla, however, were critical of the lax precautions the project proponents and government regulators are taking with regard to the undertaking’s environmental consequences. Among the problems the project represents, the senators told Governor Gavin Newsom in a letter dated November 1, are threats to the survivability of bighorn sheep, desert tortoises, mountain lions, Mojave ground squirrels, bobcats, mule deer and other wildlife in the desert.
In their letter to Newsom, Feinstein and Padilla called upon the governor to require  Brightline to incorporate into the rail project at least three wildlife corridor overpasses or underpasses. There is concern several species on state and federal endangered or threatened species lists would be vulnerable to the speeding trains as they cross the tracks.
“Brightline has not committed to build wildlife crossings even though it will be seeking tax-exempt private activity bonds for this $8 billion project, with expected revenue of nearly $1 billion,” Feinstein and Padilla wrote in the letter to Newsom. “It has come to our attention that Brightline High Speed Rail’s proposed Brightline West project route from Las Vegas, Nevada to Victorville, California does not account for essential wildlife corridors for some of the desert’s state and federally-protected species. To resolve these unnecessary impacts to our desert, we ask you to direct Caltrans [The California Department of Transportation] to use its existing authorities and oversight of the project’s right-of-way, to require Brightline to include no less than three wildlife corridor overpasses in its design and to construct these structures as part of its upcoming rail construction.”
The train is to use zero emission trains. Feinstein and Padilla’s letter acknowledged that, stating, “We agree that Brightline will be ‘offering millions of travelers a green way to travel,” as stated in their marketing material. To accomplish this, the project must heed the recommendations of scientists, regulators, wildlife advocates, and California’s own Department of Transportation.”

Sentinel 11-05-21

The Fontana City Council last week once again demonstrated its ruling majority will not allow contemplative city residents, the California Attorney General or anyone else to dissuade it from its goal of ensuring that the city can claim bragging rights to having the highest concentration of warehouses of any of the 482 cities in the Golden State.
On August 17, 2021, the Fontana Planning Commission gave approval to Newport Beach-based Alere Property Group’s proposal to construct a 42-foot high, 247,786 square foot warehouse including a maximum of two potential office/mezzanine spaces of approximately 4,000 square feet each, 34 warehouse dock doors, two ground level loading doors, 117 automobile parking spaces, and 50 trailer parking spaces at the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington Drive and Redwood Avenue, just north of the Interstate 10 Freeway.
Ana Gonzalez, the interim executive director of the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice, and Elizabeth Sena, the founder of the South Fontana Concerned Citizens Coalition, appealed the planning commission’s approval of the project, which is referred to as the Redwood Industrial Center.
Gonzalez’s and Sena’s challenge was the third appeal of planning commission decisions allowing warehouse projects to proceed in Fontana this year.
On April 20, 2021, the Fontana Planning Commission gave go-ahead to Duke Realty’s proposal to build a 205,949-square foot warehouse on an 8.61-acre seven-parcel piece of ground at the southwest corner of Slover Avenue and Oleander Avenue. The project, which was designed to feature 22 truck docks, 40 truck parking spaces, and 95 standard parking spaces, was slated for a site immediately adjacent to Jurupa Hills High School. Sena filed an appeal of that decision, and on June 22, 2021, the Fontana City Council denied Sena’s appeal and upheld the planning commission on its decision to allow the warehouse to be built.
On July 6, 2021, the planning commission granted Manhattan-Beach-based 9th Street Partners permission to proceed with a warehouse building totaling 92,433 square feet to be developed on a 4.07-acre site located on the northwest corner of Valley Boulevard and Catawba Avenue at 15894 Valley Boulevard.
On September 28, the Fontana City Council upheld the planning commission and denied an appeal of the project filed by Janet Meza, who lives with her family in a home adjacent to the Valley Boulevard Catawba Avenue project site.
According to Gonzalez’s and Sena’s appeal of the Alere Property Group warehouse proposal approved on August 17, 2021, “We at the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice along with the South Fontana Concerned Citizens Coalition strongly believe that this approval is improper because an environmental impact report was not completed for this project and the California Environmental Quality Act exemption the city has used does not apply to this project.”
The appeal asserted that the air pollution generated by the project would be particularly harmful to children living and growing up in proximity to the warehouse. In their appeal, Gonzalez and Sena cited a study by healtheffects.org, on the relationship between the presence of multiple air pollutants in an area and the resultant susceptibility of those living there to cardiovascular disease, and another study pertaining to the health implication of long term exposure to increased levels of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Gonzalez and Sena stated, “According to in the last appeal, the planning commission/city council once again approved a warehouse, ignoring the science at hand, with an attempt at science based on procedural justifications. In our present appeal, we challenge the council on both science and the law.”
According to Gonzalez and Sena, “It is impossible at present to determine whether the project is meeting the requirements of MM-GHG-1 [the mitigation measures for the generation of greenhouse gases at the project] of the City of Fontana’s 2015-35 General Plan which requires a reduction of 28.5 percent baseline conditions, as that information is not included in the initial study/mitigated negative declaration which was prepared for this project. Additionally, the data used for the computation of the emissions appears questionable, meaning that the greenhouse gas analysis potentially undercounts total emissions and that using the correct numbers would put it above the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s thresholds of significance as well.”
Gonzalez and Sena called upon the council in its consideration of the appeal to take into consideration “the updated scientific research that we set forth, along with the science of our previous appeal.”
Based upon the city council’s rejection of the two earlier appeals, city staff did not deign to generate a report in response to Gonzalez’s and Sena’s challenge heard last week, instead issuing a recommendation that the city council deny the appeal and uphold the planning commission’s August 17 decision. The city did, however, retain an Irvine-based firm, T & B Planning, to issue a report, written by that company’s senior project manager, David Ornelas, which essentially dismissed the issues raised in the appeal and suggested they were unworthy of serious consideration.
“[T]he project would not expose sensitive receptors near the project site and the project’s truck travel route to carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic (chronic) health hazard risks that exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s significance thresholds,” Ornelas wrote.
The city maintains that the Redwood Industrial Center’s location within a commercial and industrial area renders it so it will not “generate air pollution that results in a substantial adverse effect on the environment or a substantial risk to health.”
In accordance, the Fontana City Council, with Councilman Phil Cothran, Jr. absent, voted 3-to-1 on October 26 to reject the appeal.
As was the case in June and September, the dissenting vote calling for the upholding of the appeal was Councilman Jesse Sandoval.
The city council appears intent on maintaining a longstanding policy of virtually unquestioning accommodation of warehouses and other land uses relating to the logistics industry in the face of action taken against the City of Fontana by the California Attorney General’s Office to arrest further warehouse development in the city. Some say the city is digging in its heels on warehouse development out of a recognition that doing anything other than moving ahead aggressively at this point would be seen as “consciousness of guilt” in the face of a burgeoning perception that Fontana’s position at the forefront of the wave of warehouse development locally is a consequence of graft, in which payoffs and kickbacks are being delivered to Fontana city officials by those developing the warehouses.
For years, virtually since Fontana Mayor Acquanetta Warren was elevated to the mayoralty in 2010 after she spent nearly eight years as a member of the Fontana City Council previously, Fontana has embraced warehouse development. Elements within the development community in much of Southern California have shown themselves to be eager to promote what is characterized by many as “economic advancement” by acquiring or tying up property and quickly converting the land into warehouses consisting of tilt-up buildings, thereby making fast money. The justification for this in Fontana is the city’s location along the 10, 210 and 215 freeways and the Union Pacific/Santa Fe/Burlington Northern railroad line and generally within Southern California, which involves large port facilities in San Pedro and Long Beach, both of which land massive amounts of merchandise from manufacturers in Asia brought across the Pacific Ocean by ship. That cargo is offloaded onto trains and trucks and distributed throughout much of the country. In this way, the Inland Empire has become a major logistics center. Warren appears determined that Fontana will not be outdone by any local municipalities when it comes to being host to warehouses and distribution centers.
Nevertheless, with more and more land locally being consumed by such uses, some have begun to second guess the wisdom of allotting so much property, which could be developed for what many consider to be better purposes, for the building of warehouses. And as some elected officials, local residents and futurists are questioning whether warehouses constitute the highest and best use of the property available for development in the region, an increasingly more vocal element of the community has begun to refute the assertions of the proponents of distribution centers such as Warren that they constitute positive economic development, citing the relatively poor pay and benefits provided to those who work in logistics facilities, the large diesel-powered semi-trucks that are part of those operations with their unhealthy exhaust emissions, together with the bane of traffic gridlock they create.
In July, California Attorney General Rob Bonta took a stand alongside the detractors of the logistics industry and opponents of seemingly unbridled warehouse development including Sena, when in his capacity as the head of the state prosecutor’s office he sued the City of Fontana over the April planning commission and June city council approvals of the Slover/Oleander warehouse project. Bonta took issue with the lax environmental safeguards the city adhered to in giving Duke Realty go-ahead.
As was the case with the subsequent warehouse projects by 9th Street Partners at the corner of Valley Boulevard and Catawba Avenue and by Alere Property Group’s Redwood Industrial Center, with the Duke Realty project the planning commission applied one of the least exacting forms of environmental certification for the project, a mitigated negative declaration. After all three of the those appeals were filed, the city did not subject the projects to a more exacting environmental impact report examination. In the lawsuit, Bonta argued that the city’s limited environmental review of the project and its failure to appropriately analyze, disclose, and mitigate the project’s environmental impacts violates the California Environmental Quality Act.
“Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the City of Fontana is required to implement all feasible mitigation measures to reduce harmful air pollution and other significant environmental impacts of the Slover and Oleander Warehouse project,” Bonta said. “Plain and simple: Everyone has the right to breathe clean air where they live and where they work. As attorney general, I have a responsibility to enforce the state’s environmental laws, and as the people’s attorney, I am committed to standing up for communities who live at the intersection of poverty and pollution. Fontana residents shouldn’t have to choose between economic development and clean air. They deserve both. Unfortunately, the City of Fontana cut corners when it approved the Slover and Oleander Warehouse Project. We’re going to court to compel the city to go back and take a hard look at the environmental impacts of this project – and do all it can to mitigate the potential harms to local residents and workers – before moving forward.”
According to Bonta, “The Slover and Oleander Warehouse Project will be constructed in a low-income south Fontana neighborhood that suffers from some of the highest pollution levels in all of California. Over 20 warehouses have already been built within a mile of the project site, in an area that encompasses two public high schools and serves as home to hundreds of Californians. Collectively, these warehouses generate thousands of daily heavy-duty diesel truck trips. As a result, local residents and workers suffer from some of the highest exposures statewide to fine particulate matter, which are inhalable microscopic particles that travel deep into human lungs and are linked to increased risk of premature death, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and asthma attacks. They are also heavily exposed to ozone and toxic chemicals that can cause a wide array of other concerning health problems.”
In the lawsuit, Bonta maintains the City of Fontana violated the California Environmental Quality Act in its approval of the Slover and Oleander warehouse project by failing to prepare an environmental impact report despite substantial evidence that the project will have significant environmental impacts, and that the city did not disclose the existence of dozens of other industrial warehouses in the area. The city further did not disclose, Bonta asserted, that the city has approved and is planning additional warehouse developments within blocks of the project, and it did not account for those nearby warehouses in its cumulative air quality analysis.
Despite Bonta’s action, neither Warren, who is referred to as “Warehouse Warren,” both admiringly by her supporters and caustically by her detractors, nor the members of her ruling coalition on the city council – councilmen John Roberts, Phil Cothran, Jr. and Peter Garcia – appear to have been chastened by Bonta’s lawsuit. In the face of growing suspicions Warren and her council allies have been improperly influenced by the generosity that several developers of warehouses in Fontana have shown toward them, the four have carried on as if they are simply philosophically inclined toward warehouse development and have remained unshaken in their commitment to intensify the presence of the logistics industry in Fontana. Some see this nonchalance as a ploy to set up a future defense of their action if the California Attorney General’s Office undertakes a serious look into accusations that bribery is at the root of the Fontana warehouse glut.
The California Attorney General’s office has a stable of in-house investigators, which Bonta has complete discretion in assigning. Among San Bernardino County’s local elected officials, Warren stands at the top of the heap in terms of the amount of money in their respective political war chests, with over half of million dollars in her campaign quiver. The donors of that money include developmental interests, landowners, real estate speculators and businesses and entrepreneurs, many of whom are involved in the construction, ownership or operation of warehouses in Fontana. Warren has been closely involved in political fundraising efforts with and for Councilman Cothran, whose father is the current chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee. Warren was also a major backer of Councilman Pete Garcia, whose election to the Fontana City Council would have been unlikely to have occurred without that support. Councilman John Roberts rounds out with Cothran and Garcia the membership of Warren’s ruling coalition on the Fontana City Council. Roberts’ presence on the Fontana City Council predates that of Warren, and though he has been less involved with Warren in fundraising efforts and therefore less dependent upon her for assistance in bringing in campaign cash, his electioneering financing and campaign efforts are yet to an extent entangled with hers.
Investigators have reportedly absorbed themselves in the degree to which a variety of entities involved, or with an interest, in the establishment of warehousing in Fontana have invested, through the provision of campaign donations, in the political careers of Warren, Roberts, Cothran and Garcia. Under California law, an elected official is not precluded from voting to approve a project or contract in which his or her political donors have a financial interest, as long the money provided is not conditional upon a vote in favor of that project or contract. Donors and politicians, however, cross the line when the money is provided in exchange for such a vote. Suspicion has fallen over Warren and her three allies on the council because of the way in which their campaign financing efforts have been commingled, the commonality of donors among them, particularly ones who are the proponents of warehouse projects or had or have a financial interest in those warehouse projects, and the fashion in which Warren, Roberts, Cothran and Garcia have been in virtual lock-step with regard to warehouse projects in Fontana. Of special interest to investigators, the Sentinel is informed, is Garcia’s consistent votes in unison with Warren, Roberts and Cothran in favor of the warehouse projects. Garcia is the most recent addition to the Fontana City Council, and is employed by the State of California in the capacity of Southern California regional executive manager for the California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s site mitigation program. Garcia’s education, training and professional capacity has rendered him intimately familiar with the environmental issues relating to the function of warehouses and the presence of chemicals, materials and machinery within them that represent, at the very least, a potential hazard to those who will work within them and residents living in proximity to them. Nevertheless, Garcia did not involve himself in any extensive discussion with regard to the challenges raised with regard to the April, July or August planning commission approvals of warehouse projects in the city and he did not engage in any evaluation of the issues relating to harmful or toxic materials being present at the warehouses, despite that issue being central to the challenges mounted to those projects’ approvals. Even with the manner in which the appellants have alleged that pollution, contamination and toxic substance presence issues were glossed over by the planning commission in their approvals of the warehouse projects, Garcia never made use of the abundant opportunity presented to him to weigh in on the subject.

Adelanto city officials find themselves being looked down upon by scores or even at this point hundreds of their counterparts with other municipalities in San Bernardino County and Southern California, to say nothing of a major cross section of that city’s 34,007 residents, for the profligate way in which they spent some $126,000 in CARES Act funding last year.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, was a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by Congress and signed by then-President Donald Trump in March 2020 to deal with the anticipated economic devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic. It included $300 billion in one-time cash payments to American taxpayers, $260 billion in increased unemployment benefits, the creation of a paycheck protection program and loans to small businesses, $500 billion in loans for corporations, and $339.8 billion earmarked for state and local governments.
Members of the Adelanto City Council in a 4-to-1 vote with Mayor Gabriel Reyes, then-Councilman Gerardo Hernandez, Councilman Ed Camargo and Councilwoman Joy Jeannette prevailing and Councilwoman Stevevonna Evans dissenting on August 12, 2020 voted to use $126,000 of the $440,336 in CARES Act funding the city had received to purchase a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. While a basic Sprinter at that time cost $41,095 before taxes, title, registration and transportation/dealer preparation fees, City Manager Jessie Flores had the vehicle outfitted with all available optional enhancements, such that the city council and other city officials would be able to travel in the ultimate of luxury and style.
Flores disguised the purchase as a vehicle to be used in the city’s program to deliver food to shut-in senior citizens.
Indeed, the van, which has a hitch, has been used, on occasion, to pull a trailer in which meals are carried.
In the main, however, the van is used by top city management and members of the council to chauffeur campaign donors and VIPs, friends and acquaintances around the city.
This has given rise to the perception that the city’s high-ranking officials and politicians have taken advantage of their status and position and have used for their own selfish benefit and comfort money that could better have been applied to offset the losses, blows and suffering some of the city’s residents and businesses sustained because of the coronavirus crisis. City officials have struck back at those who have made this charge, saying that while it may look like the city’s leaders are luxuriating as they cruise in the van around town, they are actually hard at work, using the vehicle as a tool while they escort prospective investors in the city to various sites, trying to convince them they would do well to locate their businesses in Adelanto.
At press time this week, the Sentinel was working toward confirming a report that while two of the city’s elected officials and city management were driving about town in the city’s luxury van with two cannabis entrepreneurs contemplating a move to the city, the five of them sparked up a doobie.
