By Mark Gutglueck
As the candidacy filing period for positions up for election in 22 of the 24 municipal elections in San Bernardino County this year approaches, the major operative question in Colton is whether either or both of Mayor Frank Navarro’s two rivals on the city council will oppose him for reelection.
Navarro has been Colton’s mayor since 2018, when he convincingly beat Mark Garcia with 77.37 percent of the vote. He was reelected mayor in 2022, when he again trounced Garcia, although not quite as lopsidedly, with 69.28 percent of the vote. Previously, in 2012, he had been elected to the city council representing the city’s Third District, having unseated then-incumbent Vincent Yzaguirre in that contest by polling 56.74 percent of the vote. In 2016, he defeated Kelly Chastain to remain as the Third District councilman. Chastain had previously been mayor and was previously Third District councilwoman.
Navarro had been a founder and among the most active participants in Citizens for Colton First, a grassroots political reform and fiscal watchdog group. The organization was formed to advocate for municipal transparency and fiscal responsibility, ensured through government monitoring. The group scrutinized city budgets, sought what was referred to as fiscal responsibility and advocated for cost-cutting measures such as eliminating perks to city officials such as auto allowances for city council members. Citizens for Colton First and its members also filed complaints with the Fair Political Practices Commission to enforce transparency laws, while targeting dark money and unregistered political action committees serving as major donors in local elections and eliminate or expose backroom dealings.
Citizens for Colton First’s political activism took place in an atmosphere in which no fewer than five elected Colton officials – former Mayor Karl Gayton, former Mayor/Councilman Abe Beltran, former Councilman Don Sanders, former Councilman James Grimsby and former Councilman Ramon Martinez were charged with acts of political corruption by federal and state prosecutors and ultimately convicted.

Judith Valles, who was San Bernardino Mayor from 1998 until 2006, had an illustrious career in the educational field before entering politics and the daughter of what is now recognized as one of the foremost families of the county seat, has died. She was 93.
The daughter of Mexican immigrants Gonzalo and Jovita Valles, Judith Lopez Valles was born in 1933, the seventh of eight siblings. Valles was heavily influenced by both of her parents and her older brother, Amilcar Michael Valles, known as Mike.
In 1942, when she was nine years old, her brother, Hanibal Antonio Valles, known as Tony, was killed in a training accident while serving with the U.S. Army Air Corps in the opening year of the United States’ involvement in World War II.
Judith would later recall, “Tony’s body was flown home, and my father went to the cemetery to arrange his burial. After everything was arranged with the church, my mother went to select a casket, and the employee asked, ‘Are you Mexican?’ When she said she was, the employee told her Mexicans could not be buried there, that Mexicans and Negroes were to be buried in the section on the other side of the hedge.”
This made her father, Valles said, apoplectic.
Gonzalo resolved to defy the lack of respect that was being shown toward his on. He removed Tony’s body, in the casket, to the Valles family home’s living room, where it remained while her father got in contact with Congressman Harry Sheppard. Continue reading →

Controversy – or a wealth of differing opinion – has broken out with regard to the efforts by Redlands police officers to pressure the city council and the city manager to raise their pay.
In recent weeks, Redlands Police Officers Association president Jeff Frisch has sent out emails to a cross section of Redlands residents, seeking their assistance in persuading top city officials to up the pay and benefits of the city’s police officers.
“Our city and residents support us, but the budget for the Police Department is woefully inadequate,” Frisch wrote in the missive. “Over the past ten year’s [sic] the Redlands total city budget has increased 100% from approximately 70 million dollars in 2016 to approximately 140 million. Despite this increase and additional funding from Measure T, our police department budget has lagged far behind the rest of the city’s spending, leaving officer pay and compensation well below other law enforcement agencies in the Inland Empire.”
According to Frisch, “Our average 10-year Redlands police officer now ranks dead last in compensation compared to neighboring Inland Empire agencies. Please give the city council and city manager the courage to follow through on years’ worth of promises to resolve this problem so that our city can recruit police officers and fill positions that have been vacant for multiple years. Please Visit www.RedlandsPoa.org for the complete salary survey.” Continue reading →

Characterizing a significant number of those who use the California Public Records Act as having “frivolous” or “malicious” intent in seeking access to documents and other materials pertaining to governmental operations, a Southern California Assemblywoman has drafted a bill that would delay responses to requests for information, data, reports or records contained in state, county, city or agency files and subject those deemed by officials to have abused the process to lawsuits brought by the government.
In March, Assemblywoman Blanca Pacheco introduced Assembly Bill 1821, which she said will address what she, other members of the state legislature and hundreds of city and county officials up and down the state describe as an intolerable and growing burden on local agencies caused by mounting numbers of and increasingly complex public records requests.
Under Pacheco’s proposed law, the time by which counties, cities and agencies would have additional time to respond to California Public Records Act requests would be increased from 10 calendar days to 24 and would allow agencies to charge hourly fees ranging from $22 to $66 for staff time spent searching for and reviewing records if those materials have any conceivable commercial use.

AB 1821 would further authorize a state or local agency to sue a member of the public for filing a public records request by alleging that in seeking the documents or information in question, the requester evinced “malicious intent.” Continue reading →

San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Erickson on June 4 effectively rescinded the San Bernardino County’s 2025 approval of the Lovemore Ranch project in Joshua Tree.
Axel Cramer and Dane Hollar, who were then 27 years old and 24 years old, respectively, in 2020 approached the county, proposing on behalf of their company, Green Collar Builders, what ultimately evolved into the Lovemore Ranch project. There original concept involved construction of 31 separate ½ acre+ lots on 18.4 acres on Alta Loma Drive between Hillview Drive and Sunset Road in Joshua Tree, which was in keeping with the half-acre minimum lot size traditionally adhered to in Joshua Tree.
In time however, the scope of the project was increased to 64 units, such that the lot sizes averaged 0.2875 of an acre, or slightly more than a quarter of an acre.
Residents in Yucca Valley, who had not moved to overtly opposed the original proposal, became alarmed at the uprating in the subdivision’s density, and pressed the county to resist allowing that intense of a land use at the location.

On January 23, 2025, the San Bernardino County Planning Commission approved the 64-unit Lovemore Ranch residential subdivision on the 18.4 acres. Continue reading →

County taxpayers will pay more than one-third of a billion dollars within the next several weeks to cover the cost of pensions for the county’s retirees in the upcoming 2026-27 fiscal year.
This week, the board of supervisors, at the urging of County Chief Executive Officer Luther Snoke, directed Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector Ensen Mason to make an advance payment of the county’s estimated fiscal year 2026-27 annual contribution to the board of retirement within 30 days after the commencement of the county’s fiscal year July 1.
According to a report/recommendation bearing a date of June 23, 2026 from Snoke to the board of supervisors but which was authored by Matthew Erickson, the county’s chief financial officer, “The total County General Fund retirement contribution for 2026-27 is estimated to be $370,564,500 discounted by $12,549,051 after a reduction for the foregone estimated treasury earnings of $7,585,517, for a net savings of $4,963,534 for the prepayment amount of $358,015,449.”
The report stated, “Under Government Code Section 31582(b) the Board of Supervisors can authorize the Auditor Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector to make an advance payment of all or part of the County’s estimated annual retirement contribution, provided that the payment is paid within 30 days after the commencement of the County’s fiscal year. The County has taken advantage of this advance payment option in the past, prepaying the General Fund contribution to the San Bernardino County Employees’ Retirement Association (SBCERA) for the entire fiscal year. The prepaid amount is discounted by SBCERA, resulting in savings to the General Fund.” Continue reading →
