Dear National City Clerk and Members of the City Council, Please accept and distribute the attached formal written comment and evidence packet for the official record ahead of the upcoming City Council meeting.

This submission is filed by Jennifer Sanchez, a resident directly sharing the eastern property line at , Bonita. It outlines a severe pattern of unpermitted activity, environmental hazards, property trespassing, and active defiance of local regulations by the developer at 3410 Valley Road (Lawrence Tucker / Valley View Development).

Attached to this email, you will find a comprehensive document containing:

1. A Formal Written Statement: Outlining specific structural, legal, and quality-of-life impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.

2. A Chronological Timeline of Violations: Detailing unauthorized activities tracking from Summer 2025 through August 2026.

3. Specific Enforcement Demands: Outlining requests for arrest warrants under Municipal Ordinance

1.12.030 H4, asset impoundment, permit revocations, and structural mandate requirements.

4. Visual Evidence Exhibits A–E: Hard photographic evidence documenting:

Exhibit A: Heavy machinery actively operating directly behind the posted city Stop Work Order.

Exhibit B & C: Upright, verified commercial carrier profiles and registration IDs (Troy Dirt CA# 0522547 and Olivarria Trucking CA 379196) caught actively hauling materials onto the frozen site.

Exhibit D & E: Photographic proof of unmitigated dust plumes rising on July 31, 2026, and the resulting layer of toxic dirt invading my residential porch.

I request that this complete packet be formally entered into the public record and provided directly to each council member for review prior to any votes or discussions regarding this project or its potential annexation.

Thank you for your time, your diligence, and your commitment to protecting local homeowners.

Respectfully submitted,
Jennifer Sanchez

Subject: Item 10.2, 8/17/2026: Tyler Technologies
Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026 2:29:11 PM

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
Tonight's agenda Item 10.2 is a presentation re: Tyler Technologies' Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) Software Solution, and staff recommendation that you authorize the City Manager to execute a City-Tyler Technologies contract amendment for this module.

Some of you and/or community members may argue such a proposed expenditure for this module, up to $250,000, is coming when the City cannot afford it, which may well be right.

My concern is different.

Even if cost-justified, which certainly deserves debate, Tyler Technologies' public descriptions of its PBB product, do not identify Environmental Justice (EJ) as a built-in priority category or element in the evaluation framework. Instead, the system appears to rank spending for "programs" against whatever the local government chooses to define as its highest priorities and most desired outcomes. Specifically:

Programs are evaluated and scored using factors such as demand, mandate, population served, cost recovery, and reliance.

The software helps governments compare programs and reallocate funding toward higher-scoring priorities.

With our City's history as one of California's most environmentally burdened communities, explicitly incorporating EJ priorities in use of the model, if its purchase is authorized, seems critical.

From an EJ perspective, imperative questions for staff before approving the contract include the following:

1. Will Environmental Justice be a formal priority?
Will EJ be listed among the priorities used to score programs? Will CalEnviroScreen or similar indicators be included as measurements?

2. How will "population served" and "demand" be measured? Could programs benefiting disadvantaged neighborhoods score lower simply because the populations are smaller or less politically influential?

3. Will equity impacts be scored separately?
Are there weighting factors for low-income communities, communities of color, pollution-burdened areas, or historically underserved neighborhoods?

4. What transparency will the public have?
Will residents and businesses, unions too, be able to see the scoring criteria and program rankings?

5. Who will determine the priorities?
Council?
Staff?
Community engagement process?
Consultants from Tyler?
In other words: How will our long unmet EJ priorities be guaranteed consideration along with other critical priorities, during implementation and use, with community transparency?
Tyler's materials emphasize efficiency, outcomes, cost analysis, and alignment to priorities, but the info I found (maybe incomplete) does not specifically describe any Environmental Justice methodology. While more review is needed, thus far I am not seeing mention of any of the following in the staff report either:
- Environmental Justice
- Equity
- CalEnviroScreen metrics
- Community-priority weighting
- Disadvantaged communities
- Environmental burden indicators
Before any approval is given, compliance with our long established Environmental Justice plans seems to dictate that both the Council and staff take steps to ensure implementation and use explicitly incorporating EJ into the priority-setting and scoring process, with full transparency for the community.

Thank you for your consideration.
