(a) He requested tonight’s meeting be adjourned in memory of his father, who passed away at the age of 97. He stated his father worked in dairy, landscaping, and hotel
management. He added his father instilled in him pride in his family’s Basque heritage, and inspired him to go into politics.

Joint City Council/Successor Agency Board/Montclair Housing Corporation Board/Montclair Housing Authority Commission/ Montclair Community Foundation Board Meeting Minutes – June 20, 2022 Page 8 of 10 (b) He expressed his sadness about the recent shooting
deaths of two El Monte police officers.
(c) He announced a new COVID–19 testing site has opened at the Christian Development Center on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays.
(d) He noted yesterday was notable for celebrating two
things—Father’s Day and the newly recognized national
holiday, Juneteenth, which commemorates the day an
Army officer informed slaves in Texas about the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
(e) He stated since the July 5th meeting would be cancelled, he would like to recognize the following upcoming
holidays and days of celebration in July: Canada Day on July 1st, Independence Day on July 4th, Bastille Day
celebrated in France on July 14th, and National Parents Day observed on July 24th.
(f) He congratulated Metro Auto Group on its new digital freeway sign.

E. Council Members/Directors

1. Council Member/Director Johnson commented as follows:
(a) She attended the reveal event for the new San Bernardino County (SBC) memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack that occurred on December 2, 2015. She described how
touching it was that each victim was dedicated an alcove with a bench inscribed with a quote chosen by their family. (b) She stated her concern with maintaining Montclair’s housing stock now that the Redevelopment Agency is no
longer here to help fund efforts like the Neighborhood
Partnership. She indicated Fourth District SBC Supervisor Curt Hagman has agreed to help to fund renewed efforts
as long as the City can provide volunteers, and the City’s Code Enforcement Team has agreed to help. She
emphasized the importance of maintaining the housing
stock to keep property values up and attract new
businesses.
(c) She attended a Juneteenth celebration in Ganesha Park in Pomona, which emphasized “Liberty and Justice for All”. (d) She wished a Happy Birthday to City Attorney Robbins and Finance Manager Kulbeck.

2. Council Member/Director Lopez made the following comments:
(a) He stated last month the Montclair Little League finished its season and the AAA All Star games have begun.
(b) He expressed that Juneteenth is not just about Black independence, but independence for all. He noted it took

2.5 years for the last slave to be freed after the
Emancipation Proclamation was signed. He stated slavery is one of the United States’ greatest sins because all are equal.
(c) He noted there have been five deaths in five weeks from traffic accidents and urged everyone to slow down. He
asked what residents can do to get speed bumps on their streets, noting one street residents have asked about is the sharp corner where eastbound Palo Verde Street becomes
southbound Helena Avenue, which already has a flashing
sign and reflective signs that aren’t preventing excessive speeds and accidents.

City Manager Starr advised speed bumps are only allowed in parking lots according to the Department of Transportation Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and Joint City Council/Successor Agency Board/Montclair Housing Corporation Board/Montclair Housing Authority Commission/ Montclair Community Foundation Board Meeting Minutes – June 20, 2022 Page 9 of 10 speed humps are only allowed on streets with speed limits lower than 25 miles per hour. He advised there is a
petition process for home owners that would trigger a
study to determine whether a speed hump is appropriate
for the street.
(d) He asked for a report on the I–10 Freeway accident in Montclair that occurred on June 13 because he has seen a lot of misinformation online about the incident.

Chief Avels advised the California Highway Patrol is in charge of that investigation, and Montclair officers only assisted at the scene because the debris field ended up on the car dealership property in the City’s jurisdiction. (e) He asked if the alleyway behind his home on San
Bernardino Street would be repaved or repaired this year.

City Manager Starr indicated it was not on this year’s list. (f) He asked if the City was hosting alleyway cleanup events.

City Manager Starr advised Code Enforcement used to host those events but has not due to staffing shortages. He
noted that program may start up again soon.
(g) He stated he prays the shooting incident that occurred in El Monte costing the lives of two law enforcement officers would never happen in Montclair.

3. Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chair Ruh made the following comments:
(a) He condemned the person who posted photos of the I–10 Freeway accident on social media, stating it is disrespectful to the victims’ families.
(b) He stated on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce the
signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which was
signed on January 1, 1863 and only initially applied in Union territories. He noted the Thirteenth Amendment
was ratified on December 6, 1865.
(c) On Friday he attended the Gold Line’s “halfway celebration,” having completed half of the line’s construction work from Azusa to Pomona. The event was well–attended by elected representatives who spoke in support of continuing the
Gold Line to Montclair.
(d) He emphasized the seriousness of the drought, noting reservoirs are at less than 30 percent capacity.
(e) He stated the El Monte police officers were residents of Upland, so their deaths hit close to home. He commended Senator Susan Rubio, who attended the memorial service. (f) He stated on Saturday he attended an event honoring Senator Rubio and Assembly Member Freddie
Rodriguez, noting they show that elected officials can
work together across the County line.
(g) He warned there is a rise in COVID–19 cases and urged everyone to be careful, noting thousands have died in San Bernardino County from the disease.
(h) He noted that while many complain of people driving too fast, another issue is when people drive too slow and
impede the flow of traffic.
