So on behalf of the San Bernardino County 70 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,180 Children's Network and mentoring task force, I'd like to call up 71 00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:47,020 Paris Anderson of big brothers and big sisters, which is an 72 00:06:47,020 --> 00:06:51,340 incredible organization that represents the inland empire.

And after that, our Mayor Pro Temlin, 76 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:12,160 And Kennedy who has retired from educational field as a doctor of education will present the proclamation. 77 00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:13,480 Thank you. 78 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,860 Good evening, city councilmembers and Mayor Eltonis, Michael. 79 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Thank you for your city's investment in youth and social capital. 80 00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:30,700 Research shows that mentors can play a powerful role in providing young people with the tools to make responsible choices attend and engage in school and 81 00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:36,440 reduce and avoid risky behavior like drug use. Yet, the same research shows that 9 million 82 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,560 young people between the ages of 8 to 18 years in our country will grow up without a mentor. 83 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,860 This is called the Mentoring Gap in America. Although mentoring is trending upward in recent years, 84 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:55,640 the number of youth and need of a mentor is also increasing. The need for quality mentors is evident. 85 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,860 No matter the size or type of mentoring program offered. 86 00:07:59,220 --> 00:08:05,120 For example, at Big Brothers Big Sisters last year, we served 1,301 youth region-wide. 87 00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:11,140 And thanks to the support of City, we offer youth a corporate mentor through our Workplace 88 00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:16,220 Mentoring Program at Citizens Business Bank, and we just launched our first Bigs with Badges 89 00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:21,400 Program in the region thanks to the leadership of the captain of Rancho Cucamanga Police Department. 90 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:29,180 We are proud to connect police officers to mentor youth at one of National Corps's residential locations in the city. 91 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,440 We have 300 youth on our wait list and one person can help us ignite potential. 92 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:42,540 Individuals interested can go to iebix.org or the mentoring task force at the Children's Network for more ways to get involved. 93 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:47,120 Thank you for your time and partnership to ensure that we mentor youth and change futures. 94 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,000 Thank you. 95 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Thank you. 96 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,720 And as the mayor mentioned, I am a lifelong educator, but every one of the council members believes 97 00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,120 in the mentorship program, and we thank you for that. 98 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:06,460 And so we have a proclamation stating that January has been designated as National Mentoring 99 00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:13,860 Month to focus national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us, individuals, 100 00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:21,940 businesses, government agencies, schools, faith-based communities and nonprofits can work together 101 00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:28,200 to increase the number of mentors and assure brighter futures for our young people. 102 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:34,780 And whereas students who meet regularly with mentors and you mentioned some great statistics, 103 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:41,460 more than 52% are less likely than their peers to skip school, 104 00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:46,440 46% less likely to start using drugs, 105 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,220 and 27% less likely to start drinking, 106 00:09:51,780 --> 00:09:54,720 and youth who face an opportunity gap, 107 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,540 but have a mentor are 55% more likely 108 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,200 To be enrolled in college, and whereas 18 to 29-year-olds are more than twice as likely 109 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:15,780 to cite having a mentor in their childhood than those over 50. But only a quarter of youth 110 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:22,960 have the mentors that they need. And whereas the third Monday in January is recognized nationally 111 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:29,820 as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and brings forth the ideal opportunity to highlight the 112 00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:31,180 the importance of mentoring. 113 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:38,340 Now, therefore, be it proclaimed that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamanga does 114 00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:44,800 hereby recognize the month of January 2020 as National Mentoring Month. 115 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:51,320 Thank you so much, and here is a proclamation that we hope you will display in the Boys and Girls Club. 116 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:50,650 Okay, we will now move on to communications from the public.

This ranking is unfortunately nothing that we 146 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,980 have control over because of our geographic location. We are susceptible to the earthquakes, the flood, 147 00:14:37,980 --> 00:14:39,780 and wildfires. 148 00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:44,980 So with that preparedness, we take very seriously. 149 00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:56,630 We have 55 trained cert members, currently volunteering actively, with nearly 40 trainings 150 00:14:56,630 --> 00:14:59,830 per year, which include cert basic and advanced training. 151 00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:17,000 The ready RC Academy for our community, BERT, business emergency response team, and the auxiliary communications services. We also have extensive community engagement and outreach efforts for the community in preparedness efforts, as well as a state of the art upgraded EOC. 152 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:33,990 And the third category that we were ranked on was financial safety rank. This is based on unemployment rate, job security, and financial savings of our residents. 153 00:15:34,610 --> 00:15:37,570 Well, you see on the screen are some of those indicators. 154 00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:48,040 And this is a little specific information about rancher cook among on how we ranked. 155 00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:52,640 We have an exceptional unemployment rate at 2.9 percent. 156 00:15:52,960 --> 00:16:01,500 That was from November of 2019's last report, 45 percent of our residents have a bachelor's 157 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:10,400 degree or higher, and according to many economists, the unemployment rate under 5% it translates 158 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,480 to full employment in the local economy. 159 00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:21,990 Another report that we wanted to piggyback on to this one was released later in the 160 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:24,430 fall as well from 24-7 Wall Street. 161 00:16:25,530 --> 00:16:31,070 And this information came directly from the FBI's 2018 Uniform Crime Report. 162 00:16:31,070 --> 00:16:35,630 So as you can see, we scored exceptionally high on this one as well. 163 00:16:36,330 --> 00:16:40,470 36th United States, 10th in California, and 4th in the Ellen Empire. 164 00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:52,830 At this time, I will turn this over to Captain Mahoney, who will share some of our specific data and information on our law enforcement, 165 00:16:53,090 --> 00:16:54,850 crime prevention, and community outreach efforts. 166 00:16:55,490 --> 00:16:55,730 Thank you. 167 00:16:57,010 --> 00:17:02,390 So as we are proud to say that we're one of the safety cities in California and the United States. 168 00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:10,490 One of the first things that comes in mind is the public safety in regards to fire protection and police protection. 169 00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:20,470 So in talking about some of the statistics related to their data collection, from 2018 to 2019, our calls for service have dropped. 170 00:17:21,090 --> 00:17:29,730 One percent, that means the public didn't call us and need our help approximately 8,500 less times than the last year than they did the year before. 171 00:17:29,730 --> 00:17:34,050 which also equated to about a 1% drop in us taking reports meaning that a crime 172 00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:38,050 actually did occur and we did some type of investigation. So all in all the 173 00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:43,430 need for our bad things happening in the city and need for police presence has 174 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:47,130 dropped down by 1% and then of course our need for additional investigation is 175 00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:47,350 dropped. 176 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:55,450 At the moment our status with our personnel 177 00:17:55,450 --> 00:18:03,990 Now, compliment is 141 deputies and that ranges from the sworn staff, from the deputy that's in a patrol car, patrol in the streets all the way up to my position. 178 00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:13,710 We also have another 41 professional staff that work through the office and out on the streets to assist us in doing our patrol and prime prevention functions. 179 00:18:15,330 --> 00:18:21,890 We put in there that we tend to have eight to about 30 people on the streets, patrolling the streets at any given time now. 180 00:18:22,490 --> 00:18:45,490 Obviously, we use our resources effectively and times of need, we double our ships on Friday nights because that seems to be when we need the most effective response patrol, but Sunday morning at 8 o'clock in the morning that we have eight or so deputies out in the street, which you'll find is a lot because you'll still see their cars driving because there are a whole lot of cars on the street at a clock in the morning and on Sunday, so you'll still see a lot of ours. 181 00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:54,990 Also with the help of the city and the city manager's office we've upped our compliment to six school resource officers, which is the top in the county for the sheriff's department. 182 00:18:55,270 --> 00:19:03,770 Nobody else has as many as many school resources and needed so because we have over 12,000 high school students, which was where we have most of our concerns. 183 00:19:04,370 --> 00:19:08,390 And so we have one dedicated deputy sheriff to each high school here in the city. 184 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:12,630 And then we have another two roving deputies to handle the other 31 schools. 185 00:19:14,530 --> 00:19:19,850 Our met team has just been re-designated and we now have two specific teams that are 186 00:19:19,850 --> 00:19:24,410 led by a corporal in each team and three men are what we call our cream of the crop. 187 00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:29,330 So debuts have performed very well throughout the city doing normal patrol functions and 188 00:19:29,330 --> 00:19:34,050 have a knack for finding bad guys, as I like to say it, have been moved to the met team 189 00:19:34,050 --> 00:19:40,890 and we're out fighting violent crime as it occurs, as specifically yesterday we had a shooting 190 00:19:40,890 --> 00:19:44,730 and our met team was called in response, got there, 191 00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:47,910 buttoned everything down, figured out the situation, 192 00:19:49,150 --> 00:19:50,890 have a couple of people in custody, 193 00:19:51,370 --> 00:19:55,890 and closed the case pretty much in a very, very rapid amount of time. 194 00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:59,930 At the same time, we got word the day before that there was a mayoral... 195 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:28,640 We want to grow inside the city and within a days time our met team had compiled all the necessary information, got search warrants, did surveillance, and took down the marijuana grow in a house and got somebody in custody over that case. And so they're being very effective, but the response is quick, and it deals with violent crime as well as our marijuana grows. And additionally, we've complemented our SOAP team, which is our solution-oriented policing team, and it's manned by a sergeant, a corporal, and five deputies. 196 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,080 Those deputies work with the homeless outreach program, the hotel compliance, massage 197 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,580 potters, liquor licensing compliance, and then also our active shooter programs. 198 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:46,640 So they're very, very busy, but their focus is on things that start out to be small things 199 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,100 and can grow into big things if we don't stand on top of them. 200 00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:55,040 So their gradual problems throughout the city versus something that happens instantly and 201 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,000 we need to get on it real quick. 202 00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:25,940 And then recently our crime prevention team had their annual that program, which it teaches young ladies the signs and the pitfalls of human trafficking, in other words, we try to help them to identify when somebody's trying to play them and get them into the human trafficking business, which is they can be tricked is very easy to be tricked into it, but we hold the program once a year for young ladies as well as their parents, so they get to see it a lot of times. 203 00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:32,700 what's going on now with these programs is, if you will, are trying to pull in young 204 00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:37,140 ladies into the business through social media and so if parents are watching through 205 00:21:37,140 --> 00:21:41,760 the social media, their kids social media is something that they might miss and the kids 206 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,620 might understand they're getting dragged into something like that. 207 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,280 We also do something similar for boys as well because it is a fair factor for them and we 208 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,040 teach them self-defense. 209 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,240 Additionally, we teach another program, our crime prevention experts teach another program 210 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,280 called the Brave Workshop in which we teach children from ages of five to twelve to fight 211 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,220 off abductors, attackers, to prevent kidnappings and things like that. 212 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,260 And so we teach that I think three times a year and we do that through several coalitions 213 00:22:09,260 --> 00:22:12,340 throughout the state that works on child abjections. 214 00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:20,060 And then lastly our active shooter program which you know is probably the most robust after 215 00:22:20,060 --> 00:22:23,060 shooter program in the county if not in the state. 216 00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:29,620 And to show for that, we did over 50 training exercises in 2019, 217 00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:37,520 and those exercises were addressed to businesses, these schools, city employees, 218 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:46,920 and the community itself, and so we reached out and actually trained over 15,000 people just in 2019 alone through our 50 different seminars. 219 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:54,000 And as seven of us go from just presentations sometimes to actually hands on and exercises 220 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,340 for our deputies, we also train collaboratively with outside agencies. 221 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:06,200 FBI joins us, ATF, Upland PD, Ontario PD, and other adjacent agencies, which is evident 222 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,780 through the IRC event that occurred that when that, when the call came up for that, there 223 00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:15,400 was I think 14 different agencies that showed up to the IRC shooting. 224 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,160 So you know that if you're training together, you're going to work collaboratively together when a bad event occurs. 225 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:22,940 And so we conduct training with those groups as well. 226 00:23:23,060 --> 00:23:25,360 But 15,000 was a big number for us this year. 227 00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:29,740 We really pushed hard to get it, get the messages out to the city and the people who live there. 228 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,160 So with that, that concludes our presentation. 229 00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:35,660 So we're welcome to answer any questions that you may have. 230 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600 Any questions or comments from council members? 231 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,280 Just a quick comment. 232 00:23:41,860 --> 00:23:45,160 Thank you for your public safety service to our community. 233 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,120 and allowing those numbers to show just how safe the city is. 234 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,440 Rancho, we still have a lot of room to build on, but we do our best. 235 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:02,180 And being ranked that high in the nation and then to be ranked that high in the state, that's pretty awesome. 236 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,120 That's very good. 237 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,780 Well, if I can add to, I wanted to say, I think there's, 238 00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:16,660 It was a 15 different categories that were in there and one or two of them really pertain to the 239 00:24:17,260 --> 00:24:20,020 Police or the Sheriff's Department if you will. What I 240 00:24:20,660 --> 00:24:28,300 What I see and what really grabs my attention when they talk about the different categories is all of these other factors that have to do with the work 241 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:31,140 That's done here on a on a daily basis in the city itself 242 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,360 The fact that people feel the perception of safety is what gets our attention 243 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:44,640 We get complimented all the time, just in passing, going out to lunch at our citizen meetings and things like that. 244 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,780 People feel that this city is safe. 245 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 It's because of all of this that the city is safe. 246 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:56,400 Just the way the city looks, the way it's up kept, the money that's put back into it. 247 00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:59,880 The job opportunities that are here, the income analysis. 248 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,400 So there's all of that, and there are good people here that are living and working here every single day. And they're so helpful to us because they want to make a better community. So we don't have to, I've been at different areas within the, within the county that the citizens won't even talk to us. Even if there are victim, they won't even talk to us. Let alone come up to us and just offer, hey, I've got a video. I think I'm going to cut something on my video, come see this, and they're offering to help us on a regular basis, because that's how strong this community is. And so we say it's, you know, we take a lot of credit for it. 249 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,940 But really what I'm going to say is everything that happens here in the city is what makes the city safe and everybody feels safer. 250 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:46,690 I was going to say those very words, Captain, is that we have excellent first responders, our fire and our police are doing an outstanding job. 251 00:25:46,850 --> 00:25:56,210 But we have the residents of this community who are vigilant and who think of you as a partner in what they do every day and making sure our city is safe. 252 00:25:56,410 --> 00:25:57,450 So thank you so much. 253 00:25:57,450 --> 00:26:05,620 I think it's very evident that the relationships are key between the public, between the business 254 00:26:05,620 --> 00:26:11,100 community, and between our public safety officers both in the fire and in the police departments. 255 00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:18,260 So building those relationships, builds trust, and people, then maybe you got a handful 256 00:26:18,260 --> 00:26:22,840 that started years ago, and now you've got a whole village of people that are believing in 257 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,120 what we're doing and wanting to help solve problems rather than be a creator of problems. 258 00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:32,140 So, thank you so much for what you've done, and thank you for the report. 259 00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:35,360 That was a very, very nice presentation, I appreciate it. 260 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,200 Thanks, Mr. Mayor. 261 00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:42,840 I just want to add, I do want to make sure I think a lot of credit needs to go as well to Sheriff John McMahon. 262 00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:49,520 So I can tell you, I've worked in cities with their own police department, and 263 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:55,740 I've worked in cities that had contracted with other county sheriff's department. 264 00:26:55,740 --> 00:27:24,340 and we're very fortunate here, the relationship between police and fire, police and the city manager's office and the other departments, all of that is really good, and we have some amazing officers, amazing deputies, captains and others, but a lot of it comes from the leadership at the top, and that's Sheriff McMahon, he's probably one of the finest county sheriffs that I can say I've ever seen in my career, and he sets that tone from the top, 265 00:27:24,340 --> 00:27:42,420 and that expectation and that really carries down from there and we've been fortunate county has a history of some great sheriff's but you know you're not going to get any better than John McMahon and the example that he sat so I want to make sure that there's some credit there because it is well well-earned. 266 00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:43,320 Thank you for that John. 267 00:27:43,320 --> 00:28:03,780 Can I say one more thing, Councilman Hutchinson, I don't want to put you on the spot, but I am because you had an experience and the professionalism of one of our officers and an encounter he had with an officer in a resident of actually a different city. 268 00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:08,780 the day before New Year's Day. I was getting my smog checked because my 269 00:28:08,780 --> 00:28:13,680 registration was due on New Year's. And there was a gentleman who walked out into the 270 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,860 middle of the street off of Massey behind the 24-hour fitness. And he was in the 271 00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:22,340 middle of the road, in the middle of the day shaking his fist, cars and acting 272 00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:28,160 erratically. And so after watching for a few moments and then screaming at 273 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:34,500 top as long and then he made his way over towards the opening, the doors, the elephantness 274 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:40,200 and so I went up and said hey, if you had anything to eat lately trying to de-escalate 275 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,860 the situation and so I went up to Jack in the box and got the guy a little bit of food 276 00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:48,380 to eat and sat down and as I sat down with him on the side of the curb, I tried to get him 277 00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:54,840 to calm down and by that time he made a bit of a ruckus in front of the gym there and an 278 00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:02,300 officer pulled up and came to speak to us, and this is kind of a perilous situation with 279 00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:05,180 a guy who's out of control a moment ago. I'm not quite sure how he's going to react, 280 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:15,060 but the officer who came that day, younger guy, I think it was Dee Alonzo, was his name, 281 00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:23,580 and he was as cool-com and collected as he possibly could be with the gentleman who was clearly 282 00:29:23,580 --> 00:29:30,380 distraught in acting erratically. And so the fellow who's munching on some jack in the 283 00:29:30,380 --> 00:29:34,440 box tacos, who's got food coming out of his mouth as he's speaking. And the officer 284 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,920 asked him, you know, have your name, your date of birth. And where this guy who, you know, 285 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,220 wore his acting erratically didn't seem too dangerous. Actually had some very, he had a worn 286 00:29:45,220 --> 00:29:50,460 out for his arrest. It had some very serious violent crimes that he had a worn out for. 287 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:59,940 And so as the officer begins to handcuff him, the guy starts acting a little more 288 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,860 Spitting in the officer's face by accident. And all the officer says, sir, would you please move your head to the right while I'm, you know, making sure you don't have anything dangerous on you. Turns around again, sir. We please move your head to the right. Completely respectful at all times, no matter how this guy act, didn't let how the individual act affect him in any way. Kind, compassionate, and patient. And so much so that I remarked it to our mayor Pro Tem. As I saw a couple of days later, how proud I was. 289 00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:59,840 because they had no idea that I was a city council member, I had a five day beard on, and Jack had to have any city markings on it, and I told them afterwards, like, I am so proud of what our police force, how lucky we are to have a county police force in Ranch Cucamonga, and the professionalism that you exhibited in this moment, you didn't know who was watching you, but there's no way I could have done it better myself, and I know that's part of the train 290 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:19,180 that we go through in our academy, that Sheriff's go through the academy from the leadership that you have is our police chief and captain here and like our city manager said from Sheriff John McMahon and this is something I got to see firsthand rest as a civilian and can't say enough good things about our force and how thankful I am to have you guys. 291 00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:31,220 Well, thank you for bringing that to our attention, so obviously those are the expectations we have and sometimes it can get a little out of control, especially dealing with an indirect person, so thank you so much, and that's what we hope, and that's what we're trading for. 292 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,920 Very good. Thank you so much.

I've been there, I know, and I know your strength. I know your comfort. And I'm so grateful for it. And we don't understand why we have to go through these things, but it's so much an opportunity to trust you and to know that you are a good, good God. 345 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:36,440 I thank you for our service personnel and our first responders and their families what a beautiful 346 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,160 report tonight.

nation under God 352 00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:16,400 and that it would be as our money says in God we trust. 353 00:36:16,980 --> 00:36:19,720 Thank you for the opportunity when we feel so weak 354 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:25,060 and we don't understand things that we can just lean into you and not away from you. 355 00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:29,100 I thank you for all of this and the precious name of Jesus, amen. 356 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,320 Thank you, Alex, Waisenberger. 357 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:55,010 Hello and good evening and a happy new year. 358 00:36:55,350 --> 00:36:59,010 This new year brings with it the opportunity to solve challenges that are both old and new. 359 00:36:59,410 --> 00:37:03,670 The greatest of those remains the maintenance and stewardship of our world-class economy. 360 00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:10,310 With this in mind, I've noticed a particular demographic whose market power this city has yet to tap into college students. 361 00:37:10,990 --> 00:37:16,910 The Refuel Agency in 2018, which is a marketing firm that specializes in studying millennial consumer trends. 362 00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:26,230 Put out a report that totaled a nationwide college spending by a college student that $574 billion of that $574 billion. 363 00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:33,010 three hundred and sixty two billion was for non discretionary items, so think textbooks, the price of tuition, items of that nature. 364 00:37:33,850 --> 00:37:38,330 And two hundred and twelve billion was for non-essential indulgences such as personal care products. 365 00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:43,850 Fifteen billion dollars clothing at twenty billion dollars and thirty billion dollars on automotive related items. 366 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:49,950 The largest purchases were made on food at sixty five billion dollars, which is significant to ranchals economy. 367 00:37:49,950 --> 00:38:03,970 Page 5 of the adopted 2019-2020 budget lists ranchals core industries, the largest of which being restaurants at 12.6% and the page 42 of that budget lists a 2.3% expected growth for that industry. 368 00:38:04,370 --> 00:38:09,910 So as a consumer group, college students possess great potential to prefer further or already thriving restaurant industry. 369 00:38:10,430 --> 00:38:17,450 Millennials especially, being the largest block of college students, they're an estimated 9 million of us enrolled in college. 370 00:38:17,450 --> 00:38:32,510 and a 2014 Forbes reported that we spend 44% of our food budget or $2,921 annually on dining out compared with baby boomers who only spend $40 or $2,621. 371 00:38:33,050 --> 00:38:41,990 The study I used earlier detailing $574 billion in nationwide spending by college students estimated there to be 21.4 million college students enrolled that year. 372 00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:48,990 This amounts to an average annual spending power of each of those students at $26,822.43, 373 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:56,310 which to the IE, which when you correlate those numbers to the IE, in 2018, Complete College 374 00:38:56,310 --> 00:39:00,650 America approximated there to be 200,000 college students living in our region alone. 375 00:39:01,070 --> 00:39:06,490 So in other words, there are 200,000 students living in our region who have the ability to contribute 376 00:39:06,490 --> 00:39:09,410 just shy of $27,000 to our region's growth. 377 00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:09,490 Both. 378 00:39:09,910 --> 00:39:14,950 In attracting student consumers, I propose this body encourage currently existing and 379 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:18,190 future businesses to offer student discounts. 380 00:39:18,930 --> 00:39:22,410 This market mechanism will have benefits to both our budget and the businesses in our 381 00:39:22,410 --> 00:39:22,630 city. 382 00:39:23,090 --> 00:39:27,810 It is no surprise anyone to the rise of e-commerce and the rise of e-commerce has had a 383 00:39:27,810 --> 00:39:30,210 largely negative impact on our brick and mortar businesses. 384 00:39:30,730 --> 00:39:35,610 And with 300 million US online shoppers expected by 2023, these problems will only persist. 385 00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:37,590 In today's cutthroat economy, 386 00:39:38,090 --> 00:39:39,970 brick and mortar businesses must be creative, 387 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:42,810 it must be creative and inclusive if they are to remain alive. 388 00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:46,950 A study by forest or consulting found that 77% of shoppers 389 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:48,270 are influenced by discounts. 390 00:39:48,910 --> 00:39:50,230 When deciding where to shop, 391 00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:53,270 in 48% reported that discounts over product selection 392 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:56,790 or great customer service assisted in purchase selection when encountered. 393 00:39:57,290 --> 00:39:59,910 Two-thirds of shoppers refused to shop unless a discount is 394 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,980 They're provided, or they will look for a discount prior to shopping. Given the market power behind them, offering student discounts can be the brick and mortar response to the incentives offered by online retailers, such as same day delivery and free shipping. Student discounts would also have a positive, would also have positive ramifications on our city's budget. The data I previously discussed indicates that students, student discounts incur further spending, thus generating higher sales tax revenue. Being the largest contributor of revenue to the city's general fund, the ability to conduct day-to-day business and meet our financial obligations. 395 00:40:29,980 --> 00:40:32,840 is impacted by the confidence of Cucamunca consumers. 396 00:40:33,380 --> 00:40:35,300 A large portion of sales taxes that are generated 397 00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:36,840 when individuals outside our city, 398 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,920 patron are many fine establishments. 399 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,000 When businesses implement student discounts, 400 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,360 they are appealing to students across our region. 401 00:40:43,820 --> 00:40:45,200 The IE is home to two universities, 402 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,840 two public colleges and a multitude of other schools, 403 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,760 teaching trades and other useful skills. 404 00:40:50,420 --> 00:40:51,880 Students in the IE not satisfied 405 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160 with the academic opportunities afforded by our region, 406 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,680 may decide to brave the journey to neighboring counties, 407 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,060 mainly LA and OC. 408 00:40:58,060 --> 00:41:03,340 This trek brings many through Rancho, for the providing businesses with potential consumers, or I'm sorry, customers. 409 00:41:03,740 --> 00:41:05,880 It is important to always keep an eye to the future. 410 00:41:06,260 --> 00:41:11,600 Student market power lies not in current earnings but is realized in the potential for future earnings after a degree is obtained. 411 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,960 This is vital, because the consumers, this city attracts today, will become the future residents of our city. 412 00:41:17,380 --> 00:41:24,840 According to the United States Census Bureau, the median income for individuals with only a high school diploma stands at $35,256. 413 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:33,080 Well, those who have earned an associate's, stand at $41,496, and those are the bachelor's degree at $59,124. 414 00:41:33,580 --> 00:41:34,040 Thank you. 415 00:41:34,420 --> 00:41:35,240 Thank you. 416 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,060 Frank at three. 417 00:41:46,850 --> 00:41:47,250 All right. 418 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,420 Yes, it's 2020 and the way this, 419 00:41:57,020 --> 00:42:00,340 these termites who collectively called themselves, 420 00:42:00,540 --> 00:42:07,340 the Rancho Cucamanga City Council have been hiking, all kinds of fees and fines. 421 00:42:07,340 --> 00:42:09,080 It's left and right up and down. 422 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,320 I don't think we have to worry about the student market 423 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,900 remaining untapped. 424 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,020 Yes, the students will be tapped one way or another. 425 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,060 I suggest the students or their parents 426 00:42:24,060 --> 00:42:30,200 try to reserve a room at one of the city's facilities, 427 00:42:30,660 --> 00:42:34,480 such as the Lewis Gladys S. Lewis facility, for example. 428 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,200 more commonly known as the Central Park. 429 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,380 Fees are up through the roof, 430 00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:50,290 thanks to this destructive body called the Rancho Cucamanga City Council. 431 00:42:51,810 --> 00:42:54,190 So yeah, this food and market will be tapped. 432 00:42:55,770 --> 00:43:00,750 I just wanted to clarify the few things for the umpteenth time. 433 00:43:02,030 --> 00:43:07,090 We don't have a police department in the city of Rancho Cucamanga. 434 00:43:07,090 --> 00:43:14,090 So there was a sheriff's department, but there was no police department, and there was no police chief, because there is no police department. 435 00:43:15,350 --> 00:43:38,350 And our celebrated sheriff's station captain, Donald E. Mahoney, I actually turned in to the San Bernardina County office of fraud and abuse for investigation, because he had decided on his own that he was going to close the office, because apparently he thinks that's his business. 436 00:43:38,350 --> 00:43:41,710 business, that's his office, he owns that office 15 years early. 437 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:54,090 And to borrow the words of Rancho Cucamanga's two bit lawyer, James Markman, for any students 438 00:43:54,090 --> 00:44:01,210 who are here tonight, I have to go to the county because this worthless body collectively 439 00:44:01,210 --> 00:44:05,950 known as the Rancho Cucamanga City Council wasn't going to do anything about it. 440 00:44:10,780 --> 00:44:19,040 So now we know why this destructive body called the Ranch Cucamonga City Council has consistently 441 00:44:19,540 --> 00:44:26,140 been hiking, fees, fines, rates all year long. 442 00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:36,380 I've attended these shows, you call council meetings regularly for over a year now. 443 00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:44,940 And at every opportunity, you destructive termites have raised hiked these fines, 444 00:44:47,860 --> 00:44:48,660 the revenue, 445 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,900 any which way you can collect. 446 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:56,560 And now we know last month we found out why that is. 447 00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:59,940 Thanks to this Trojan Horse name. 448 00:45:01,020 --> 00:45:09,300 Ryan Hutchison, who wants to give himself and his fellow city council members a salary. 449 00:45:12,750 --> 00:45:26,930 What a novel idea.
