BACKGROUND:

The attached investment schedules as of September 30, 2023 reflect cash and investments managed by the Finance Department/Revenue Management Division and are in conformity with the requirements of California Government Code Section 53601 and the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District’s adopted Investment Policies as approved on June 22, 2023.

FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Michael Parmer, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve the Appointment of Elisa Cox, Assistant City Manager, as Representative of the City of Rancho Cucamonga on the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (WVMVCD) Board of Trustees. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council appoint Elisa Cox, Assistant City Manager, as the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s representative on the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (WVMVCD) Board of Trustees for the remainder of a four-year term through January 2026 following the departure of the City’s former appointee, William Wittkopf, Public Works Services Director.

BACKGROUND:

WVMVCD was established as a special district in 1983 to control mosquitos and other vector populations and protect public health from associated illnesses such as the West Nile Virus.

Governed by a Board of Trustees with representatives from each community and an at-large San Bernardino County representative, the District serves the communities of Chino, Chino Hills, Ontario, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, and surrounding county areas.

The City Council initially appointed William Wittkopf, Public Works Services Director, in December 2011 and he was most recently reappointed for a four-year term from 2022 through 2026; however, he has since departed the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City). Prior to William Wittkopf’s appointment, John R. Gillison (then serving in the roles of Deputy City Manager and later Assistant City Manager) served as the City’s representative from 2008 to 2011.

ANALYSIS:

The work of the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District coordinates closely with the City’s Community Improvement Division, Building and Safety Department, Public Works Department, and Communication Division as these are the work groups which either receive or respond to calls about vectors and vermin issues or communicate information about the same to the public. For these reasons, the City has historically appointed staff in the Deputy City Manager or Assistant City Manager positions to fill this position in order to ensure timely and accurate communication in real time at the operational level on vector-related issues. This helps further the role of WVMVCD and improve public safety throughout the community. For these reasons, Elisa Cox, Assistant City Manager, is recommended to be appointed as the City’s representative to the WVMVCD Board of Trustees for the remainder of the four-year term ending in 2026.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Adopt Official Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the official Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion.

BACKGROUND:

Since the beginning, and with a strong emphasis for over a decade, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has prioritized advancing health equity and formalized this commitment through the established Healthy RC initiative – a comprehensive City-community partnership dedicated to long-term policy, systems, and environmental changes to support strong, healthy, resilient communities.

Healthy RC’s initial activities defined health broadly by identifying and promoting City efforts to improve community health within and across all City departments. However, through a City-wide strategic planning process that reached 1 in 5 residents, the community identified 8 health priorities that aimed to address health holistically. These priorities include Healthy Eating, Active Living, Education and Family Support, Mental Health, Economic Development, Clean Environment, Healthy Aging, Disaster Resiliency, and Community Connections and Safety. Since the adoption of Healthy RC’s strategic plan by the City Council in 2014, Healthy RC’s culture of health has evolved with the needs of the community and focuses beyond the traditional definition of health. In 2017, the City was formally designated as a Compassionate Community and has worked hand in hand with the community to create a culture of kindness, compassion, inclusivity, and most importantly a community that honors and respects the diverse voices, ideas, and people that make Rancho Cucamonga so special.

Although the City has always valued health equity and strengthening community connections, in response to the senseless murder of George Floyd that once again spotlighted the racial inequities and social injustices that exist today, in June 2020 the City released a formal statement condemning the actions of the officers involved with George Floyd’s death and confirmed the City’s commitment to social justice and health equity for all, regardless of where they live, who they are, or the color of their skin.

ANALYSIS:

Since it has been over three years since the release of the formal Statement, the City would like to reaffirm its commitment by releasing an official Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion (Statement). The updated Statement builds upon the foundation and values of the original statement and expands to advocate for health and racial equity for “all people no matter where they live, who they are, their gender, or the color of their skin, ethnic group, or religious beliefs”.

The City continues to promote violence free neighborhoods and families by building trust and unity of purpose with all voices in the community. The City holds true to these core values and applies these fundamental principles in the broadest sense to all in our community, with the goal of protecting our community, particularly historically marginalized communities, against acts of violence, prejudice, racism, and all acts of hate towards individuals or groups of people. The City recognizes we are in a unique position to impact others and it is our goal to lead by example and hold us accountable to the values that protect our community’s health, safety, and freedom to celebrate the diverse community of Rancho Cucamonga.

STATEMENT OF CIVILITY, EMPATHY AND COMPASSION

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CITY COUNCIL
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is an organization that has focused on health and equity as components of the Healthy RC Program for over 10 years. One of the founding Healthy RC Priorities, as determined by the community and adopted by the City Council in 2014, is Community Connections and Safety, which focuses on violence-free neighborhoods and families, coupled with a culture of health and community awareness. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has worked diligently to promote and realize this priority, and in 2017 the City was formally designated as a Compassionate Community. This designation makes Rancho Cucamonga a member of a global network of communities committed to effectively preserving healthy, equitable, and resilient communities through inclusion and collaboration.

As a Compassionate Community we will continue to work to bring together all the voices in our community and the communities around us to build trust and unity of purpose. To that end, the City Council hereby formally states its strong opposition to harming, killing or mistreating anyone in the name of race, religion, ethnic groups, physical or behavioral characteristics, or other stereotypes, including the use of symbols, images or written words associated with hate speech or related actions.

Whatever the differences that may distinguish us, we have so much more in common as Americans and we need to build on that unity and commonality to create a better tomorrow for our ourselves, our families, and our children.

It is our desire and belief that the legal system, which is fundamental to our democracy, should hold accountable any individuals who engage in any type of illegal or violent behavior based in or on the categories noted above. We urge local leaders at all levels to stand for the common causes of equity and justice in our nation. We stand united in support of their voices, reject any suggestions of violence and promote the fundamental freedoms embodied in the First Amendment. The principles upon which this Country was built are for all people no matter where they live, who they are, their gender or the color of their skin, ethnic group or religious beliefs. Equity and equality know no boundaries and must be accessible for all Americans regardless of any differences between individuals or groups.

Subject: Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion Statement (CEC) on the Consent Calendar, Item D6: Council Meeting, October 18, 2023 Request: Remove item D6 from the Consent Calendar. Do not move item forward in future. We see this as redundant because it is a caustic affirmation of a previous Proclamation already recognized by the city.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities (ACSC) is a national network that opposes The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and international influence in local government and public policy.

Compassionate Communities is a global movement endorsed by the Word Economic Forum (WEF) and The United Nations. The Rancho Cucamonga city council signed a Compassionate Communities Proclamation a few years ago. Now Staff is ratcheting up rhetoric in a reaffirmation document.

In the Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion Statement (CEC), Staff states, “The City recognizes we are in a unique position to impact others and it is our goal to lead by example.” In other words, they want to promote disenfranchisement of Constitutional rights and promote relativism, through authoritarianism, in the County.

Stated again: Staff wants so reaffirm their blatant discrimination and pro authoritarianism stance by setting aside the First Amendment in promoting the CEC.

The CEC is divisive, discriminatory and arbitrary. At its core, it is divisive because it divides people in the city into distinct groups: the have’s and have not’s. They do this through inversion of the word ALL and UNITY, all the while, identifying people into discrete groups.

2 The CEC seeks to redefine established norms and words. It states, “focus beyond the traditional definition of health” to include discriminatory “racial equity” based on “their gender, or the color of their skin, ethnic group, or religious beliefs.”

Staff states that the city council should “formally state its strong opposition to harming, killing or mistreating anyone in the name of:
 race,
 religion,
 ethnic groups,
 physical or behavioral characteristics,
 or other stereotypes, including the use
 of symbols,
 images or
 written words associated with hate speech
 or related actions.

The CEC states, “It is our desire and belief that the legal system, which is fundamental to our democracy, should hold accountable any individuals who engage in any type of illegal or violent behavior based in or on the categories noted above.”

Staff lumps in the word “killing” with the words relative terms, “harming and mistreating” in order to promote direct association. Killing is an absolute; therefore, relative terms, harming and mistreating are the same league as killing.

Staff claims that the legal system, based on facts and the rule of law, should be endorsed to promote relative “desires and beliefs” to accommodate taking of first amendment rights of free speech. Consider this obtuse statement:

“…We stand united in support of their voices, reject any suggestions of violence and promote the fundamental freedoms embodied in the First Amendment.”

Ironic, since the primary thrust of the CEC is to limit free speech and punish people that speak their minds.”

Staff wants to limit free speech, and if anyone does not agree with arbitrary interpretations; then the city will promote the use the legal system to go after people they disagree with. Furthermore, Staff has the audacity to say that they, “…promote the

3 fundamental freedoms embodied in the First Amendment”; this, after trampling on the first amendment rights of all people”, in the CEC.

Rancho Cucamonga City Staff seems to be stuck in a time warp of the George Floyd era where in the summer of 2020 Neo-Marxist terrorized cities across the nation. Chaos from that time set in motion emotional decisions by elected officials who felt compelled “to do something” in a typical knee jerk reaction. City staffs across the country lifted the mantel of the now disparaged Neo-Marxist group, Black Lives Matter (BLM). See attached report: Critical Race Theory, for details.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the official Statement of Civility, Empathy, and Compassion.

Introduction
he American Coalition for Sustainable Communities (ASCS) has issued this report to counter the narrative developed by the government, nonprofits and health agencies in the country and show people how to stop it.

Why should people care? Americans need to understand what is going on so they can understand debate issues. Though convoluted, the issues are not hard to understand.

According to nonprofit groups, the narrative of the George Floyd trial has highlighted deeper concerns of health disparities in people of color due to racism and exposure to the environment. The solution to this is “health equity.”
Following the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on April 20, 2021, in the murder of George Floyd, President Biden commented at a press conference the same day that the tragedy exposed the “stain” of “systemic racism” on America’s soul. Earlier, in his first joint address to Congress, President Joe Biden called for the nation to “root out systemic racism” and enact police reforms in the name of George Floyd.

On April 8, 2021, Rochelle P. Walensky MD, MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared racism a serious public health threat. She stated that people have been infected by COVID-19 and that, “across the country people are suffering”; however, “these painful experiences and the impact of COVID-19 are felt, most severely, in communities of color… where the social impact of the pandemic has been most extreme.” These are bold claims.

The idea of “racism as a public health crisis” is a confluence of environmental justice and critical race theory; both seek to redistribute wealth through equity. The argument is that racism from the past is still here today; therefore, it is “systemic.” Systemic racism applies to people of color.

According to critical race theorists, since most people of color are poor: “poverty is structural, embedded, institutionalized, and systemic requirement to maintain capitalism's efficacy; it is an ongoing outcome of hegemony, patriarchy, and a capitalistic economic structure.”
Health agencies and health departments across America have been given extraordinary emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, they have the ability promote political agendas and influence public policy. By deeming racism a public health T.

crisis, “racism and health equity” have been thrust front and center to argue increased subsidies for minorities and undocumented populations.

The report, provides a quick overview of the events that led up to CDC deeming racism a public health threat and provides a detailed review how it ties in with recent events.  The report provides a brief historical perspective of how climate change solutions, under environmental justice, intercede with policy
 The report shows how these solutions are embedded in local cities/counties and how international climate change solutions influence work at the local level to build consensus for National policy changes.
 The report examines the genesis “racism as a public health crisis” mantra and the resolutions that inspire them. Identified are the conditions that fomented them.

Critiques of resolutions are presented as case studies
 Critical race theory is addressed and how it is being used by government, local nonprofit corporations and higher education.to accentuate environmental justice in order to codify health equity.
 The conclusion offers a review and an action item that Americans can implement to push back against unconstitutional policies.

Racism as a Public Health Crisis
Declaration of racism as a public health crisis increased exponentially when the issue of equity collided with the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Black organizations demanded reforms to defund the police and because of systemic racism, reinvest in equitable solutions. During the protests and riots of 2020, elected officials figuratively took a knee, by adopting resolutions deeming racism a public health crisis. In doing so, they relegated many of their constituents to white supremacist status, as defined by critical race theorists.

Health agencies and health departments across America have been given extraordinary emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This visibility has increased social justice narratives and emboldened health department’s power in America.

Former attorney general of California, Xavier Becerra, now the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary under the Biden administration, has committed to collecting health data by race.

In conjunction with the CDC deeming racism a public health threat on April 8, 2021, this signals a move to address public health by providing “equity” in the form of increased health benefits for minorities and subsidized health benefits for illegal aliens:
“Today, Rochelle P. Walensky MD, MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), declared racism a serious public health threat. Adding action to words, she highlighted several new efforts CDC is leading to accelerate its work to address racism as a fundamental driver of racial and ethnic health inequities in the United States. She also unveiled a new website “Racism and Health” that will serve as a hub for the agency’s efforts and a catalyst for greater education and dialogue around these critical issues.” Public Health and Climate Change
In the Yahoo! Article by Zoya Teirstein, “How Biden Health Nominee Xavier Becerra Could Prescribe a Better Climate” cites the public health effects of climate change.

Teirstein states, “A report published in December 2020 in The Lancet the medical journal outlined the myriad ways in which rising temperatures and other consequences of climate change are worsening public health around the globe. The researchers found that heat, wildfires, infectious disease, livestock production, and other climate-related risks are straining healthcare systems already buckling under the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report claims that climate change threatens to undo the past 50 years of gains in global public health.”
The Biden campaign unveiled a reimagined health department, proposing an “Office of Climate Change and Health Equity” and establishment of a “Health Care System Readiness Task Force” that would “assess the current state of the nation’s health care system resilience to natural disasters and recommend strategies and investments to improve it.”
Evergreen Action, a climate policy and advocacy group started by former presidential campaign staffers for Governor Jay Inslee of Washington, unveiled report detailing five ways the department could help mobilize a national climate change response, some of which build on parts of the Biden campaign’s platform. The group said:
“Biden’s choice of Attorney General Becerra signals that HHS is prepared to prioritize climate like never before”
The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 4

“The climate crisis is a threat multiplier set to exacerbate every existing public health disparity… Congress must lead the charge to defeat the climate crisis and build a thriving, just and inclusive clean energy future.”
Jay Inslee’s best friends, from California extreme “green” billionaire Tom Steyer, to SEIU, are among the funders of the dark-money group Progress Alliance of Washington State where millions of dollars have been pumped into electing liberal Democrats Progress Alliance is modeled after the national Democracy Alliance, the George Soros- founded cabal. The Democracy Alliance’s 2020 Vision plan includes fighting climate change as a major theme.

Health Equity: Benefits for Illegal Aliens
According to the Politico article, dated February 22, 2021, “Exceedingly deep convictions’: Inside Xavier Becerra’s quest for health care for immigrants” a review of Xavier Becerra’s 24-year House career and four years as California attorney general found that Becerra has repeatedly advocated for undocumented immigrants to have more access to health care and other government benefits, whether through Medicaid or Obamacare. As Joe Biden’s health secretary, he will have the power to make public benefits for undocumented workers a reality. With a stroke of his pen, he could issue first-of-their-kind waivers allowing undocumented immigrants, roughly half of whom are currently uninsured, access to state health care exchanges.

The buildup to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declaration that racism a public health threat was predicated on a year of turmoil to move the narrative forward.

In her article for the American Public Health Association (APHA) titled, “Communities recognizing racism as a public health crisis: Declarations grow”, Kim Krisberg states, “Across the country, more jurisdictions are adopting resolutions declaring racism a public health crisis. There were relatively few such declarations on the books before the police killing of Floyd. However, the combination of his murder and racial disparities in COVID-19 deaths has helped expose the structural nature of racism and accelerated the pace of adoption.”1
This explains the rapid movement of resolutions deeming racism as a public health crisis because cities and counties were in states of emergency when they were introduced. The narrative was already in the system.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 5

Krisberg says, “Many public health agencies have spent years working to advance health equity, so they are well-positioned to act on a declaration when adopted.” The politically motivated nonprofit, APHA, has made equity a priority by addressing racism and its effects on health a priority. A racism summit and a high-profile session on hate was presented at APHA’s 2020 Annual Meeting and Expo, including adoption of an interim policy statement on structural racism as a public health issue, calling on Congress to pass and fund anti-racism legislation.

Solutions are typically derived from environmental justice for people of color and fomented by community members, aka nonprofit stakeholder groups, who have a vested interest in promoting government-agency policy. For example, in the Inland Empire of Southern California, there are groups involved, including some who are tied to the Marxist revolutionary movement, Black Lives Matter.2
Following the adoption of a resolution in King County, Washington, County officials proposed a 2021-2022 policy agenda and budget they said was designed to “meet the needs of and implement positive changes for Black, brown and Indigenous people of color. The proposed budget includes new investments to divert young people away from the criminal justice system, divestments in incarceration by continuing pandemic-induced limits on jail populations, and funding to create antiracist solutions in partnership with community members”, according to Krisberg.

Jen Freiheit, director at the Kenosha County Division of Health, Wisconsin says, “It’s vitally important that public health moves away from old practices and learns how to integrate equity and the social determinants of health into everything we do and clearly, many of those center around racism.”
Proponents of antiracism endorse removing systemic racism from government institutions and replacing it with collectivist ideologies in order to change people’s behavior to accept authoritarianism. Their arguments, in regards to racism are relative, as evidenced in resolutions promoting racism as a public health crisis.

Resolutions, designating racism as a public health crisis, ironically promote racism. They are not exceptional and parrot the same Marxist rhetoric, indicating that these are a part of a larger agenda. In fact, there are ready-made blueprint templates for this offered by the nonprofit, Salid-America. They have a database of the resolutions already passed in the United States as well as an action pack activists can use to agitate for change:

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 6

“The Action Pack will help you gain feedback from local social justice groups and advocates of color. It will also help you start a conversation with city leaders for a resolution to declare racism a public health issue along with a commitment to take action to change policies and practices. It will also help build local support”3.

Resolutions
Resolutions act as a precursor for larger scope action plans in order to foment policy. It is important to understand the genesis of these and become familiar with the language used so that the claims made can be dispelled.

Provided here is a synopsis of three resolutions that were passed in 2020 in California regarding racism as a public health crisis and bullet points identifying the background conditions used to foment them.

To see detailed critiques of these resolutions, refer to the Appendix.

San Bernardino County, California added an Element Group to the Countywide Vision, with broad reaching power to control other elements of the Vision, “through a lens of equity.” Nonprofit groups were courted to elect one individual from their group for this new element group. Initially, the primary criteria for admission: skin color must be black4. When asked if the county could scientifically prove claims in their resolution, officials said:
“…the county does not possess records that would be responsive to your requests for scientific documentation, proof, or evidence.”
Riverside County, California elected to set up a task force as their commitment to cure racism in the county. The County responded to an information request; however, they did not prove the claims stated in their resolution. Therefore, a second request was submitted, which is the critique in the appendix.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the largest metropolitan planning organization in the United States, established an ad hoc committee to make recommendations for equity. Reporter, Brad Jones with the Epoch Times stated, “SCAG introduced a draft of a Racial Equity Early Action Plan to be voted on next month. It would reward contractors who conform to diverse hiring practices. Opponents have called the plan unnecessary and discriminatory.”5

Background Conditions
 Chaos – the COVID-19 crisis destabilized the entire world and in the ensuing chaos created the opportunity for transformative changes. City and counties declaring racism as a public health crisis increased in 2020 during the uncertainty and fear because of the COVID-19 crisis and protest riots.  Climate Change - Climate change has nothing to do with reducing CO2. People can pollute all the want as long as they are willing to pay it; then, they will have the privilege of improving their lifestyle.
 Technocracy - is promulgated by the biosecurity surveillance state. It is measuring all human activity for control and assessing fees and taxes for wealth redistribution.
 Critical Race Theory - Critical race theory is used to set the criteria to determine which group people are in and how they will be judged in relation to that group.

This theory is currently a driver of public policy as it, along with equity and environmental justice, promotes the idea of racism as a public health crisis.  Environmental Justice – Is a redistribution of wealth model used for climate change based on health disparities, which are differences in health outcomes and their causes among groups of people. Health disparities are related to social determinants of health, the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.

Chaos: Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste
Governments, and their associated agencies, have exploited the tragic events of 2020 to their advantage and at the expense of the American people.

Most disasters occur during transitions: Planes taking off and landing; cars entering a freeway, etc. The same can be said for the current state of affairs in America.

Transformative change is being levied on the Nation through massive destabilizing events. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have metaphorically struck a fetal position out of pure fear. Cognitive dissonance has set in and people are seeking answers from the very institutions that have exploited the crisis. The government is holding an onion right under people’s noses and telling them it is an apple; people are saying, “okay”. There is no absolute law, only relative guidelines.

Under the COVID-19 crisis, the United States has devolved from a Republic under the rule of law, into a banana republic where people are being ruled by guidelines and recommendations, issued under fiat executive orders, to agencies from Governors.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 8

Governance by unelected agencies, boards, bodies, commissions and Indian tribes now takes precedent over elected representative government. To make matters worse, enforcement of administrative guidelines and recommendations are being done by businesses people give their hard earned money to. Many bully customers for the privilege of shopping at their establishments. Sad thing is, rather than saying “no” and taking their business elsewhere, people reward poor behavior by complying with private businesses discriminatory policies.

Climate Change: The United Nations
Over the past several years the definition of global warming has morphed into climate change. Central planners, inspired by the United Nations, have embraced the international body’s action plans to reduce CO2 through increased costs. In essence, paying costs means: if you are willing and able, you simply pay; conversely, if you are willing to pay or unable to pay, your lifestyle may be subsidized. It’s simply a matter of what group you belong to. In many cases, if you can afford to pay, it is assumed affluent and white. If you can’t, it is assumed you are poor and/or a person of color. Legislators and central planners lean toward collectivism for “the common good.” With climate change solutions, when CO2 goes down, “health equity” goes up. That is the central theme for redistribution of wealth.

Collectivism is a belief of giving priority to a group rather than the individuals in the group. This concept is antithetical to the United States Constitution where individual rights are protected. The United Nations promotes group privileges over individual rights.

Through its cadre of socialist and dictator membership nations, The United Nations seeks to transform the United States using collectivist theory and administrative, Soviet-style consensus panels, as an end run around the Constitution.

Sustainable Development is an environmental austerity plan measured by technocratic processes for inventorying, cataloguing and controlling all assets in the entire world, including human assets. It is planning for poverty; at its core, it is rationing.

Two major United Nations programs of actions for sustainable development have influenced presidential executive orders and agency rule making. Neither one are legal because neither one has been ratified by the Senate of the United States ─ t he Senate is the only body that can ratify treaties with foreign governments and international bodies.

Both programs of action are designed to curtail every individual’s consumption of natural The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 9

resources (i.e. clean water, coal, oil, natural gas, and food), the United Nations is a recipe for global despotism.
 1992 - United Nations Agenda 21, which is the action plan to install sustainable development worldwide from the local level. It has been installed, covertly, in every agency, department, at the Federal, state, county and city levels in the nation.6
 2015 - The United Nations Paris Agreement is being installed overtly. It is international in scope and seeks commitments from each nation for specific CO2 reduction goals. It includes the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.7
Alex Newman in his article, “Killing U.S., Boosting China, to Save Climate”, states:

Biden used an executive decree to purportedly shackle the United States to the United Nations agreement created in 2015 in Paris, which was first signed by President Obama. “I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, having seen and considered the Paris Agreement, done at Paris on December 12, 2015, do hereby accept the said Agreement and every article and clause thereof on behalf of the United States of America,” he wrote in an order signed on January 20, 2021with no reference to what authority he believed authorized the move. The U.S. reentry date was February 19, 2021.

How can an outside force crate a plan to take over the world by gaining assistance from its victims? It’s happening in every nation of the world, every state and every community in the United States – Tom DeWeese18
The UN, in its summary of how the agreement works, says: “Implementation of the Paris Agreement requires economic and social transformation, based on the best available science,” which is a blatant falsehood.8
Under the Paris Agreement, which includes the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals9, it’s claimed that Western nations, with their large white populations, have ruined the planet in their quest for improved lifestyles. In the process of seeking a better life, they have created pollution – for decades – which has affected people of color and disadvantaged communities disproportionately; therefore, reparations must be paid – equity – for the sins of their ancestors, under environmental justice. The United States, under the Paris Agreement, will have to be equalized with the rest of the world, which means standards of living for Americans will have to go down.

The World Economic Forum: The Great Reset
The globalist World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Great Reset Initiative10, financed by Bill & Melinda Gates, is being installed overtly. It is a cheerleader for the “globalist plan for a new world order”, as Klaus Schwab, president of the WEF and coauthor of the book, COVID-19: The Great Reset opines. Schwab promotes fascism, where big business is in bed with big government, with his idea of “stakeholder capitalism” 11, which is nothing but cronyism, corporatism and corporate welfare foisted through public-private partnerships, whereby profits are privatized and losses are socialized on the backs of middle-class Americans. He promotes, and President Biden agrees with the concept of “Build Back Better through Inclusion”, which means affirmative action for people of color, by transforming our economic system of capitalism to fascism.

Schwab wants to institute the changes needed to transform the world into a “more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world”, and he admits that the pandemic is the crisis that will help achieve through the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.

Schwab says, “Seeing the failures and fault lines in the cruel light of day cast by the corona crisis may compel us to act faster by replacing failed ideas, institutions, processes and rules with new ones better suited to current and future needs. It’s about making the world less divisive, less polluting, less disruptive, more inclusive, more equitable, and fairer than we left it in the pre-pandemic era,” which is collectivist nonsense. 12 Critical Race Theory
Marxist critical race theory has been in the forefront for the past several years.

Proponents cherry-pick historical events and conflate it with current events in order to draft a narrative of victimization and oppression. Systemic, structural, and institutional racism has become the mantra of agencies and extremist nonprofit entities. Since systemic oppression is baked in to past history, the argument is presented that it is s still here in government institutions; therefore, is “structural or institutionalized.” For example, consider the California guidelines for the new Environmental Justice Element13, which are required for General Plan updates in all cities and counties in California, as is conflates past “history” with present day threats of wildfires. “Long before the term “environmental justice” was coined, communities across California experienced discrimination through unjust land use policies and practices.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 11

In the 1700s, California’s Native American Tribes were the first peoples in the state to experience systemic oppression as Spanish colonizers institutionalized the Mission system and intentionally disrupted tribal culture and environmental stewardship. In the 1800s, State sponsored policies further dismantled tribes’ relationship with the land. For example, the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians made it illegal to practice prescribed burning- the intentional ignition of small fires that helped many tribes maintain healthy landscapes. The following 100+ years of fire suppression policy not only placed tribal cultural resources at risk, but also led to forest densification and heightened risk for catastrophic wildfires which continues to threaten communities today.” 5 The state is hypocritical because it is doing exactly what they claim the Spanish colonizers did to Indian Tribes – Indian Tribes is the correct definition currently used by the Federal government. The State of California and its agencies victimize all people because they have been negligent in maintaining land entrusted to them, resulting in more intense fires. They have been belligerent to private property owners by preventing spot burns. Furthermore, the state is oppressing all residents and citizens equally with land use policy that removes local control for their communities.

In the Heritage Foundation report by Christopher F, Rufo titled, “Critical Race Theory Would Not Solve Racial Inequality: It Would Deepen It”14 he explains that critical race theory promotes the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism, tradition, and constitutionalism structures. He points out, assertions made by academics claiming these structures victimize and oppresses people of color, are rooted in Marxist ideology. He presents a couple of key points:

1. Critical race theorists falsely accuse the United States of being a fundamentally racist nation and condemns capitalism, individual rights, and the Constitution.

2. Critical race theory seeks to undermine the foundations of American society and replace the constitutional system with a near-totalitarian “antiracist” bureaucracy.

Rufo frames critical race theory by presenting the dichotomy between Marxism and capitalism. He states:

For Americans who care about poverty alleviation and constitutional government, critical race theory represents a critical threat The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 12

In recent years, a large number of schools, universities, and local governments have adopted “antiracism” or “diversity and inclusion” policies based on critical race theory. Federal agencies have implemented human resources programs based on critical race theory, philanthropies have pledged billions toward “racial equity” initiatives, and hundreds of corporations have signaled their support for the new ideology of “antiracism.”
Critical race theory, promotes the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism, tradition, and constitutionalism. Critical race theorists have argued that the nuclear family is a vestige of white supremacy, work requirements and entry-level employment are an extension of capitalist oppression, “Poverty,” in the words of race theorist Kay Ann Taylor, “is a structural, embedded, institutionalized, and systemic requirement to maintain capitalism's efficacy; it is an ongoing outcome of hegemony, patriarchy, and a capitalistic economic structure.” Critical race theory reformulates the old Marxist dichotomy of oppressor and oppressed, replacing the class categories of bourgeoisie and proletariat with the identity categories of white and black and the political foundations of critical race theory maintain a clear Marxist economic orientation.

Rufo identifies key players in the critical race theory movement and cites their primary ideology:

Ibram X. Kendi, a leading figure in the critical race theory movement who directs Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research and has received the National Book Award, has promoted the concept that individuals and societies cannot be neutral in America’s eternal racial conflict; they must be “antiracist.” That is, they must either adopt the political program of the critical race theorists or be considered “racist.”
“I classify racism and capitalism as these conjoined twins.... [I]n order to truly be anti-racist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist…. And in order to truly be anti-capitalist, you have to be antiracist, because they’re interrelated.

By defining every disparity between racial groups as an expression of “systemic racism,” the critical race theorists lay the foundation for a political program of revolution.

To adopt the vocabulary of the race theorists, the forces of “hegemonic whiteness” have created society’s current inequalities, which we can overcome only by “dismantling,” “decolonizing,” and “deconstructing” that whiteness, radical changes are needed.

In one of the founding texts of critical race theory, UCLA professor, Cheryl Harris argues that property rights, enshrined in the Constitution, are in actuality a form of white racial domination. Harris formulates that rights are a mechanism of white supremacy, and must be curtailed. She envisions a suspension of existing property rights followed by a governmental campaign to “address directly the distribution of property and power” through wealth confiscation and race-based redistribution. “Property rights will then be respected, but they will not be absolute and will be considered against a societal requirement of affirmative action. She advocates a large-scale wealth and property redistribution based on the African decolonial model.

Together, the proposals from Harris, Kendi, and other race theorists would lead to a change of regime. In the name of racial justice, they would limit, curtail, or abolish the rights to property, equal protection, due process, federalism, speech, and the separation of powers. They would also replace the system of checks and balances with an “antiracist” bureaucracy with nearly unlimited state power.

Kendi advocates an “anti-racist amendment” to the Constitution. Although Kendi’s proposal is framed as an amendment to the American constitutional order, it is better described as an end to the constitutional order.

Rufo explains critical race theory in relation to family, work and education:

Critical race theorists have lambasted the nuclear family as a vestige of patriarchy and white supremacy: They consider the family a structure that oppresses rather than secures and uplifts.

In regards to employment, entry-level and low-wage work are not considered a path out of poverty: They are a form of capitalist exploitation. They reject the idea of “[promoting] personal responsibility through work,”
With respect to education, a recent paper in The International Education Journal, University of Washington Bothell, Professor, Wayne Au, makes the case that The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 14

standardized tests such as the SAT are an oppressive practice that is rooted in “racism, nativism, and eugenics” and serve to maintain “racialized inequality.” Measuring America: Technocracy
A biosecurity surveillance state is currently being established to measure all human activity, for control, assessment of fees and taxes for wealth redistribution.

America is in a technocratic revolution where big data monitors and assesses everything we do. Smart phones monitor our daily lives through China-style contact tracing; vehicle mileage taxes and congestion pricing are quickly becoming realities; utility usage is monitored by smart meters; states now use computer programs to further affirmative action by assessing if cities are too “white”; COVID-19 passports are now becoming a reality; the Internet of Things (IoT) and FCC mandated 5G communications 15 will drastically alter how people live their lives in the new biosecurity surveillance state as James Corbett, of the Corbett Report, illustrates in his video series, “Who is Bill Gates.”16 In his book, “Technocracy Rising, The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation” 17, Patrick Wood chronicles the past 100 years and pulls the reader forward in time to explain how the scientific experts religion of technocracy and big data metrics are used to evoke the environmental austerity of sustainable development, which is the technocratic process of inventorying, cataloguing and controlling all assets in the entire world, including human assets.

It is the process of resource restriction in order to create artificial scarcity of goods so that prices go up: it is sustainable development, which at is core is nothing more than rationing. This is a hidden tax that people will have to shoulder as it is used to subsidize disadvantaged classes and people of color to equalize society and make it fairer. To do that, justice must be invoked so that equity can be delivered.

Environmental Justice
The concept of environmental justice is simple: Experts claim that people of color are affected by the environment differently than white people and that they have unique health disparities; therefore, they require increased political representation in order to garner “equity” in the form of investments, which are fees and taxes.

Environmental justice is discriminatory. It is collectivist wealth redistribution scheme designed to identify environmental health hazards in relation to demographic information based on, color, income and national origin.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 15

Environmental justice is political in nature. It seeks equality, fair treatment and political involvement with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. In order to acquire “equity”, the EPA promotes equitable development through policies, initiatives and collaborative problem solving, which are steeped in sustainable development rhetoric, as identified in their statements:

Equitable development is an approach for meeting the needs of underserved communities through policies and programs that reduce disparities while fostering places that are healthy and vibrant. It is increasingly considered an effective placed-based action for creating strong and livable communities.

Today, there are clear initiatives, tangible examples, and award-winning projects that demonstrate the approach as a means for rebuilding America's communities.

The outcomes of equitable development are the result of clearly set expectations, collaborative problem solving, and persistent leadership.19 The United States Constitution protects all people regardless of their demographics.

Agencies protect people unequally. According to SCAG, “as per the Federal definition of a minority: white people are not considered a minority even if there are less of them than people of color in a community. Therefore, the “inclusive language” presented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) definitions of environmental justice and health equity, are an oxymoron, because it is impossible for “all people” to be represented equally, again as per the Federal definition of a minority.

The EPA defines environmental justice as:

The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. This goal will be achieved when everyone enjoys:
 The same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards, and  Equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work. (live, work and “play” are attributes of sustainable development).20

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 16

The CDC defines environmental justice as:

All people—regardless of race, color, national origin, or income—are entitled to equal protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.

The CDC assesses environmental justice using a big data tool called the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network, which gathers data and information that is needed to make decisions about the environment and health in order to make personal, community, regulatory, and public health decisions. The tool provides identification of demographic factors, environmental burdens, socioeconomic conditions, and public health concerns.

The tool produces data in customizable maps, charts, and tables, so that scientists are better able to assess the connections between the environment and its effect on health so that public health professionals can easily assess unusual trends and events to determine which communities may be at risk. This allows elected officials can make more informed policy decisions directly related to environmental justice.21 Health Equity
A key component of environmental justice is health equity. According to the CDC:

One of the CDC’s missions is reducing and eliminating health disparities and reaching health equity. To accomplish this, they target health disparities among those populations experiencing a disproportionate burden of disease, disability, and death.

The CDC defines health equity, where everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible and health disparities, as differences in health outcomes and their causes among groups of people. Health disparities are related to social determinants of health, the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.22 Health equity has been promoted in resolutions deeming racism as a public health crisis in cities and counties across America. Nonprofits, citing social determinants and health disparities, claim that people of color have been disproportionately affected by the environment, which includes air quality, and viruses like COVID-19.

Resolutions deeming racism as a public health crisis, according to many elected officials, are non-binding benign statements. They are not. Statements are endorsements of critical race theory, which then foments action in the way of a task force or a committee to “study” potential solutions to “problems” so that equity can be paid.

The following section chronicles how current events influenced an environmental justice “vision” idea in San Bernardino County, California after the county adopted their resolution deeming racism a public health crisis.

Critical Race Theory in the County
Cities located in San Bernardino County, which signed on to the Countywide Vision, are being used as pawns by the County to buy into a new Equity Element for the Vision, which is an action related to the racism as a public health crisis resolution the County adopted. Therefore, by proxy, cities are now involved in an overt political movement.

Would San Bernardino County cities have originally signed onto a Vision statement if they knew it would be used to promote lifestyles that would lead to diminished economic standards of living for its residents; then, later on overtly, be turned into a political tool ? That’s what happened on Tuesday 6-23-2020, when the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a resolution to deem racism as a public health crisis.

Supervisor Janice Rutherford worked with local Black groups in the County in advance of the vote to ensure the moniker: Racism as a Public Health Crisis. Board Chair, Curt Hagman, championed the resolution as “a first step”. He promoted the resolution and encouraged all cities and counties in the State to do the same.

Press Enterprise reporter, Sandra Emmerson in an article dated 6-23-2020, titled, “San Bernardino County Declares Racism a Public Health Crisis,” wrote, in regards to what Hagman said, “Thanks to the partnership and support of several community members and organizations, my colleagues and I became the first county in California to declare racism as a public health crisis, and I sincerely hope we are not the last. Through today’s action, we built a foundation for positive change throughout the county and encourage our 24 cities to join us.”
In doing so, Hagman laid the ground work for other States to do the same. Now we have liberation groups demanding direct reparations from governments.

Black liberation activists exploited race riots to pressure the County to draft a resolution deeming racism a public health crisis claiming oppression issues, related to health disparities, affecting blacks disproportionately in the County; this they claim to solve the problem of “systemic” racism.

Structural and institutional racism are supported, as central tenants to social justice, by the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG), the largest metropolitan The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 18

planning organization in the United States, as a primary reason to social engineer the public to support “investments”, that is, tax people, in order to redistribute wealth from one group to disadvantaged groups of color.

To address the issues of black liberation groups, County Board Supervisor, Janice Rutherford, suggested including language to add an “Equity” Element Group to the Countywide Vision. The irony is the Vision is already addressing disadvantaged communities through existing Elements: Public Safety, Wellness, Education, Housing, and Jobs/Economy.

Since the County is financially broke, officials want a way to increase revenue – at the expense of transparent government. “Recognizing the constraints declining revenue has placed on governments; we must build new, and expand existing partnerships among public agencies and nonprofit business [corporations]…” In essence, officials figured out a way to skirt government by the people.

The Countywide Vision is a nonbinding, utopian, idea that was floated by the local council of governments, back in 2011, in order to yoke cites in the County’s sphere of influence to support Social Equity and Environmental Justice, which are wealth distribution schemes. The idea is to emphasize working through unelected governance as opposed to, accountable, representative government by working with private nonprofit corporation groups and other “stakeholders.”
Cities in the County endorsed the Vision through a resolution. Hesperia rescinded their resolution in October, 2018 because they did not want to be under the purview of the County. They opted out the regional Vision in favor of local control.

According to officials at the County, Vision goals are accomplished through element groups that meet periodically to suggest “ideas”. It’s a way to endorse nonprofit corporations and stakeholders so they earn added street credibility. This garners publicity for grants and fundraising.

The Vision provides a mechanism for the County to push off responsibilities and offset costs by having nonprofit corporations pick up the slack. In this public-private partnership (P3) structure, taxpayers foot the bill. Because much of the funding is secured by environmental climate change grants, the Vision promotes austerity – reduced standards of living – through increased taxes – by promoting rationing schemes to change people’s behavior. For example, Water Element Group member, Celeste Cantu’, The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 19

general manager of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, in 2012 stated, “We will have enough [water] only if all things come together through investment and behavior modification,” Investment means increased water prices.

The Countywide Vision is a lot of air. According to the County, “The element groups are made up of volunteers. There is no one who picks and chooses who can or can’t participate. The discussion leaders for each element group either naturally emerge from or are appointed by those who volunteer to participate. The element groups don’t report to anyone in the sense that they are held accountable for their performance.” Representatives of the element groups supposedly meet once a month to discuss their progress and look for opportunities to partner with each other on projects. Staff from the County Administrative Office, moderate the meetings. County officials claim that, Element groups don’t recommend policy strategies.

Element groups are relied on by County staff to foment policy. They are made up of unelected, unaccountable members of groups from agencies, boards, bodies, nonprofits corporations and Indian tribe members. By definition, groups have agendas and they foment policy as evidenced when Daily Press reporter Martin Estacio in an article dated 6-10-2020 titled, “Equity group to address racial disparities in San Bernardino County” He wrote: “Other [Element] groups including wellness and public safety have created focused campaigns based on community discussion.” Policy suggestions continue.

In his article titled, “County Declares Racism A Public Health Crisis”, Estacio on 6-24- 2020 wrote in regards to the new Equity Element, “County Deputy Executive Officer Diana Alexander said once the new equity group is created, it will conduct a series of public meetings and surveys to receive input from stakeholders to determine racial disparities and formulate a strategy to tackle them.”
In the same article, Estacio continues: “Pastor Samuel Casey, of New Life Christian Church and executive director of Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement (COPE), asked the Board that the newly formed equity group not be just “ceremonial.” COPE is already working with the County as a “partner” with the Reentry Collaborative.

COPE has received a grant from the Marguerite Casey Foundation. The foundation promotes Black Lives Matter (BLM).

Black Lives Matter is a project – a vision. It’s an idea couched as a movement. In an article posted on the Marguerite Casey Foundation’s website, titled “Alicia Garza: Black The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 20

Lives Matter Proves that ‘New Leaders Are Possible” – October 23, 2015, BLM co- founder, Garza, says, “We are not trying to build corporations out of social movements.

We are trying to give oxygen to the flames that those social movements are sparking.” According to a New American article by Alex Newman, titled, “What’s Really Behind the Riots”, dated 7-6-2020, “BLM was founded in part to glorify convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur (aka Joanne Chesimard). In an article explaining why she created Black Lives Matter movement, Alicia Garza, cited Shakur saying, “When I use Assata’s powerful demand in my organizing work, I always begin by sharing where it comes from, sharing about Assata’s significance to the Black Liberation Movement, speaking from the “lineage” from which it is derived.”
In a recent 7-2020 online interview, another BLM co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, stated:
“We have an ideology: We are trained Marxists.”
Recently in a 6-25-2020 broadcast, Fox commentator, Tucker Carlson, opined in regards to recent riots: “These are not about protests; it’s not about George Floyd or systemic racism. America is not a racist country. You are not a bad person for living here. Again, these are not protests. They aren’t even rioters. They are the armed militia of the Democratic Party. They are working the over throw our government and put themselves in power. They are idiots… they fall for any lie… If you want to get your elected representatives attention, quit voting, stop paying taxes and burn down buildings.” In his article dated 6-29-2020 titled, “San Bernardino spent $500,000 on police response to George Floyd protest”, San Bernardino Sun reporter, Brian Whitehead, chronicles rioting that took place on May 31 in the city of San Bernardino, California. Whitehead cites a report by police Chief Eric McBride prepared in reference to events that took place that day:
“After learning on May 30 that there likely would be several Black Lives Matter- related protests” in San Bernardino, McBride marshalled resources to deal with the threat. Several protesters began banging on the building’s glass doors; some people became hostile toward the officers and began throwing items. Others became destructive; more than 2,000 people gathered at the Waterman Discount Mall and became very destructive … bombarding the officers with rocks, bottles, bricks, fireworks, and anything that could be hurled to injure an officer; looting The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 21

was being reported elsewhere in town… Nearly 130 properties sustained damage or had to be boarded up to keep looters out.”
Police that night arrested 32 individuals, 22 of whom were not San Bernardino residents, which equates to 69%, McBride said. Between May 31 and June 1, there were 1,284 calls for service, “an exponential increase.”
Crime, rising prices, rationed goods and services, less freedom and an overall lower standard of living for County residents does not help blacks or other disadvantaged communities. Defining racism as systemic will only play into the Marxist playbook of “divide and conquer.” Further, paying reparations will only complicate matters.

Nonprofits Promoting Critical Race Theory
After resolutions passed deeming racism a public health crisis in the Inland Empire in California, which includes San Bernardino County and Riverside County, nonprofits received commitments for millions of dollars to promote and institute their critical race theory initiatives. In the Sun article, “$5 million coming for Black-led organizations in the Inland Empire with new initiative”, Deepa Bharath, notes:
“The Inland Empire Funders Alliance on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, announced its partnership with the Black Equity Initiative of the Inland Empire to launch the Black Equity Fund, a regional pooled fund, which comes with the promise of long-term investments in local Black-led organizations. The seed money for this fund is coming from The California Endowment and the Inland Empire Community Foundation with the rest of the $5 million to be raised over the next two years.”23
Cash commitments fuel seminars, speeches and program agendas.

Capitalizing on the publicity and momentum, in the summer of 2020 the new startup, called Center Against Racism and Trauma began offering critical race theory consulting solutions targeting municipalities. According to the consultation page on their Web site:
“The Center Against Racism and Trauma prioritizes helping policymakers make the most effective and informed decisions. CART is here to ensure the best racial equity practices are actually being practiced.”24 Along with the readymade policy solutions offered, CART hosts seminars and lectures to foment activist action to move policies forward.

On March 17, 2021 a network of nonprofits, including COPE and Blu Foundation, hosted a CART Zoom forum featuring revolutionary critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi, which The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 22

was promoted as the “First IE Racism Summit”, according to an article in the Inland Daily Bulletin newspaper dated March 7, 2021.

The University of California at Riverside also sponsored the racism summit, which provides an opportunity to expose sustainable development and its extremism in education.

Higher Education Promoting Critical Race Theory
A 2015 report, by the National Association of Scholars titled, “Sustainability: Higher Education’s New Fundamentalism,” cites key points in an executive overview:
“Sustainability” is a key idea on college campuses in the United States and the rest of the Western world. To the unsuspecting, sustainability is just a new name for environmentalism. But the word really marks out a new and larger ideological territory in which curtailing economic, political, and intellectual liberty is the price that must be paid now to ensure the welfare of future generations.

This report is the first in-depth critical study of the sustainability movement in higher education. The movement, of course, extends well beyond the college campus. It affects party politics, government bureaucracy, the energy industry,

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 23

Hollywood, schools, and consumers. But the college campus is where the movement gets its voice of authority, and where it molds the views and commands the attention of young people.

The focus in this study is on how the sustainability movement has distorted higher education. We examine the harm it has done to college curricula and the limits it has imposed on the freedom of students to inquire and to make their own decisions. Our report also offers an anatomy of the campus sustainability movement in the United States. We explain how it came to prominence and how it is organized.25
University of California at Riverside
Reinforcing the extreme fundamentalism denoted in the report, consider the sustainability program offered at the University of California at Riverside. They offer a Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Studies, which was launched in 2015, according to an article published by U.C. Riverside26, which is posted here with highlights denoting references to some of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

Offered through the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies, the interdisciplinary B.S. degree will focus on challenges to sustainability such as climate change, air and water pollution, toxic contamination, energy demands, economic growth, agricultural production, and environmental degradation. It is believed to be the first program of its kind to be offered by a gender and sexuality studies department in the United States.

Goal 13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts* Researchers who do global environmental work have reported on the feminization of poverty, added Jade Sasser, assistant professor of gender and sexuality studies, noting that 70 percent of the world’s poor are women.

Goal 5 - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. “In a time of growing concern over natural resources, the new major in sustainability studies will give UCR undergraduates the opportunity to develop solutions to challenges to our region and to the world as they complete their undergraduate education,” said Peter Graham, associate dean of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 24

Emphasizing social and environmental justice issues recognizes that the poor and other vulnerable populations “are first and hardest hit by unsustainable practices of extraction, industrialization, finance, corporate agriculture, air and water pollution, environmental degradation, and the forms of exploitation and denial of rights that accompany these,” explained Marguerite Waller, professor and chair of the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies.

Goal 1 - End poverty in all its forms everywhere.

Goal 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Goal 8 - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Goal 11 - Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

Goal 16 - Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
“There is a relationship between environmental, economic and social justice factors and who is most likely to suffer,” she said. Sasser was recruited last year to help launch the B.S. degree because of her research in environmental science, policy and management, Waller said.

The new degree, which was approved by the Riverside Division of the Academic Senate, is an outgrowth of the department’s current curriculum and reflects student interest in an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability issues. It also aligns with UC President Janet Napolitano’s sustainability initiative that calls for all UC campuses to be carbon-neutral by 2025 and for curricula that encourage sustainable practices and infrastructure.
“The new undergraduate degree in sustainability will be pivotal in promoting sustainability literacy at UCR,” said John Cook, director of sustainability. “The campus is embarking on a provocative and exciting quest to have all UCR undergraduates complete a sustainability literacy certification by the time they graduate.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 25

Having a degree program and tenure-track faculty focused on sustainability, especially with an expertise on social and environmental justice, will provide a wonderful resource in support of campus-wide sustainability efforts.” Students enrolled in the new B.S. program will take more science courses than typical humanities, arts and social sciences majors, as well as a quantitative course and a capstone seminar in interdisciplinary methodology. Courses in gender and sustainability, natural and earth sciences, engineering, health and medicine, cultural studies, policy, media, and social sciences will prepare students to respond to challenges to local, regional and global sustainability.

Through internships, students will partner with community groups on sustainability research projects as well. A yearlong series of speakers and films will launch in October and will be open to the campus community and the public.

Public-private partnerships - Sustainable development decision making requires broad participation of all. The Division therefore aims to support the effective participation of Major Groups (as defined in Agenda 21) and other stakeholders in the UN political processes, including through efforts to build their capacity, knowledge and skills base.

It also supports, facilitates and monitors multi-stakeholder partnerships and voluntary commitments announced at various international sustainable development conferences through its Partnerships for SDGs online platform.

Juliann Allison, associate professor of gender and sexuality studies and public policy, said gender disparities in environmental issues became apparent in research she conducted on the impacts of acid rain along the U.S.-Mexico border more than a decade ago.

Goal 10 - Reduce inequality within and among countries. “Women have a different experience of living on the border, of pollution and of raising their families,” she explained. Around the world, it is typically women who scavenge for wood and other energy sources, and who grow food to feed their families (women grow 70 percent of the world’s food), so environmental issues that affect crops, health and natural resources particularly impact women.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 26

Many of the world’s environmental movements are organized by women, noted Chikako Takeshita, associate professor of gender and sexuality studies and the program’s architect.

Goal 13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.* *(Acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change).

Sustainability Studies Major27
If you choose to major in sustainability studies, you will:
 investigate the historical and contemporary ways environments change (and are changed by) human activity – like man made climate change - Note, this is to promote the theory of man-made climate change, which has not been determined.30
 explore comparative, interdisciplinary, transnational, feminist approaches to the theories and practices of building a sustainable future with a focus on everything from climate change and energy, to pollution and environmental justice.  study coursework ranging from gender and sustainability, to health and medicine, to media and policy, and more.
 train in a framework of feminist paradigms and methodologies associated with intersectionality, dialogue, and relation from a local, regional, and worldwide perspective
 participate in in-depth, engaged learning experiences  prepare for careers in health care, public service, policy advocacy, education, and social activism relevant to sustainability
 participate in internships with local environmental organizations, health advocates, and other institutions connected to sustainability
Note, climate models produced by the United Nations IPCC have been fraudulent; therefore, policy based on them are nonsense.31

Critical Race Theory in Local Government
There are thousands of nonprofit corporations and international sponsored nongovernmental organizations (NGO) in the in the United States, all vying for coveted grant money given out by governments through departments and agencies. Grants have terms and conditions that must be agreed to. Since sustainable development is the top level globalist plan for environmental command, these entities sign on to agree to egregious schemes to erode traditional America principles and property rights. 29 Cities and counties compete for grants. The more public-private partnerships they can note on their grant applications, the more associations with nonprofits, the more awards they can cite, the better chance they have of “winning” the grant money.

This is exemplified in Rancho Cucamonga’s Health RC initiative. The Healthy RC program has been questioned over the years because it folds in youth groups and targets them for radicalization. Now that the city applied for, and received, an All-American City award, people are seeing more radicalization taking place.

Equity & Unity Meetings
Multi-trillion dollar COVID-19 stimulus bills have fueled environmental justice.

Nonprofits and consultants are cashing in. Thousands of meetings are taking place in cities and towns across America; all promoting critical race theory, and indoctrinating youth and minority groups.

The city of Rancho Cucamonga, California sponsored a Healthy RC Zoom event that took place on November 12, 2020 featuring self- proclaimed “change agent”, Dr. Gail Christopher. Change agent is a term typically associated Soviet spies and provocateurs like, Saul Alinsky.

Christopher promotes critical race theory in relation to health equity to engage underserved, racial and ethnic minorities in health policy discussions.

Christopher was Senior Advisor and Vice President at the [progressive] W.K. Kellogg Foundation; she was the driving force behind the America Healing initiative and the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation effort. Christopher is described as an award- winning social change agent with expertise in the social determinants of health and well- being and in related public policies. She has more than 30 years of experience in designing and managing national initiatives and nonprofit organizations.

The Kellogg Foundation gives money to United Nations and the Rockefeller Foundation.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 28

The event titled, “Building a Path to Unity: A Virtual Symposium on Racial Healing, Equity, and Unity” was pitched as Healthy RC’s Compassionate Community’s first ever citywide symposium. The meeting echoes racism as a public health crisis resolution language, as evidenced by the description and reference to “recent events”, which appears to be related to riots and protests ignited by the George Floyd incident. Evidently, the city thought it necessary to “foster healing and unity in Rancho Cucamonga”, even no proof was offed that anyone was affected by “recent events”.
“The recent events these past several months have greatly disrupted our lives and challenged us in many ways, and have once again placed a spotlight on issues around racism, racial inequity, and social justice. Healthy RC's Compassionate Community Subcommittee continues to work diligently to ensure that we can provide our community a safe space for all voices to be acknowledged and heard.

Together, we hope to identify specific strategies and action plans that will help foster healing and unity in Rancho Cucamonga.”
All-America City Awards
In 2020, the city Rancho Cucamonga, California, applied for the National Civic League (NCL) award to garner publicity for the dozens of social and environmental justice programs it supports. These programs promote critical race theory for social change, which subvert the middle-class and reduce standards of living for people that live in the

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 29

city. Resiliency, or protecting poor people from oppressive environmental health impacts, is a cornerstone of these programs. Nonprofits aligned with the Marxist revolutionary group Black Lives Matter (BLM) have taken up the battle cry of racism: a public health crisis. In this context “health” means environmental health. The premise: poor people have, for decades, been disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards such as bad air, and now, the hazards of COVID-19.

According to the NCL, “The need for equity and resilience has become more obvious in 2020, as communities have dealt with a global pandemic and racial bias incidents in law enforcement.” Further, All-America City applicants for 2021 will be asked to provide examples of projects that have “adapted and transformed the community to be more equitable and resilient. Some include: promote racial healing and equity, enhance equity in the community’s COVID-19 response, reform law enforcement to improve racial equity, engage the community in work to prevent climate change, create affordable and safe housing, and reduce poverty.”
In a Daily Bulletin staff article, dated March 19, 2020 titled, – Rancho Cucamonga is finalist for All-America City Award, “The 2020 spotlight for the award is efforts focused on practices that enhance health and well-being for all, and particularly for populations experiencing poorer health outcomes.” The city’s Healthy RC program was cited.

Healthy RC Living is a program initiated by Rancho Cucamonga. The city receives grant funding, among others, from First 5 San Bernardino by adhering strictly to their guidelines on “Principles on Equity.” The “First 5” commission describes the program as a, “Collaborative networks of schools, community and faith-based organizations, public and private agencies and city governments that make up Healthy City/Healthy denoting that Community designations are powerful vehicles for social change within their own community.

Valerie Lemmie, Chairperso for NCL, is a Initiatives of Change, USA (IofC), board trustee and treasurer. IofC supports the Marxist revolutionary movement Black Lives Matter (BLM).

IofC seeks to transform America from capitalism to socialism because of, “the condition of involuntary servitude perpetuated by racist capitalist economies in order to develop the Americas… resulting in deeply embedded systems and structures of racist inequality.” Therefore, they seek to redefine racism as institutional, systemic or structural. Meaning, it is chronic and can never go away. In other words, white people are guilty for the “sins” The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 30

of the past, present and future because they had, have, and will have too much wealth under “racist capitalist economies.”
According to Fox News broadcast on August 27, 2020: “Between April and June, the U.S. economy shrank 31.7%, the biggest drop ever; 58 million Americans applied for assistance since the lockdowns began in March.” Populations are in flux.

People are fleeing the liberal cities by the droves. They are seeking safe harbor in the nation’s suburbs and rural areas; however, environmental climate change rules have already inched their ways into suburbs in California. Rancho Cucamonga has embraced dozens of these “Green New Deal” programs already, including the city’s Health RC program, which had a budget of over $4 million dollars between 2010 and 2017.

Socially- Engineered General Plans
The city has signed a contract with the State in order to subsidize the city’s centrally- planned General Plan, constricting local control. Importing poverty into urbanized, high- density communities will eventually change the city’s ambiance from suburban to urban.

This will reduce middle-class standards of living as the city imports poverty under “social justice”, all under the banner of “racial equity.” The city has steadily been moving towards urbanization.

According to a Staff Report dated, December 18, 2019:

The current General Plan establishes the vision for Rancho Cucamonga as a healthy, innovative community with high quality development, urban centers and corridors.

The new General Plan vision will be:

City’s vision for a resilient, equitable and healthy community address issues and challenges facing the City, including diversifying employment opportunities, expanding housing and mobility choice and preserving the character, history, and quality of life that make Rancho Cucamonga a special place to live.

It’s a bold statement to, “preserve the character, history, and quality of life that make Rancho Cucamonga a special place to live”, given all the social-oriented programs the city is involved with.

The city of Rancho Cucamonga is a dichotomy. On the surface it appears to lean conservative; however, the city planners, manager and city council support liberal environmentalism and social justice programs.

The Green New Deal
California is the perfect example of what America will be reduced to if a proposed Green New Deal goes into action because in many respects it has already happened in the State.

The middle-class in the State has been hollowed out as they are taxed in the billions to fund the ever mounting public employee pension debt. Former Governor Brown said that the State only caters to the rich and poor, which mirrors the devastation wrought by catering to high-tech employees and the swelling ranks of low-income service workers who serve them. California is a bifurcated society of plutocrats and serfs. Low-income workers, many illegal aliens, are being subsidized by taxes collected through a green environmental program of “sustainability”, which is the proposed world-wide “solution” to the “theory” of climate change. These subsidies have not only redistributed wealth, but have the added benefit of creating a new class of voters for Democrats. Rancho Cucamonga, California is a model city of Sustainability policy. In fact, the city touts over 40 Sustainability programs, pushed by corporate nonprofits, youth volunteer and minority groups.
“The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change…” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
On February 4th 2019, Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), an avowed authoritarian Socialist who promotes corruption and wealth confiscation, released her national Green New Deal scheme promoting environmental Sustainability. The “deal” is a massive transfer of wealth based on race. AOC claims that America is stolen land. The Green New Deal is a Trojan Horse. It is Socialism masquerading as environmentalism.

Ideologue Mayor Dennis Michael of Rancho Cucamonga, California and AOC are on the same page in regards to Sustainability. The Mayor, known as “Mr. Sustainability” by locals, claims to be a Republican; however, he is diametrically out of step with his party because Republicans are opposed to Sustainability, an authoritative solution for climate change, which seeks to control the use of everything people need to live by punishing them in order to change their behavior to use less; Sustainability is nothing but rationing.

That seems to be okay with the Mayor, who supported spending $9,000 to lobby for an increase in the gas tax to help cure climate change.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 32

The progressive Mayor touts the city’s climate action plan. This plan seeks to redistribute money collected from increased Sustainability taxes, like the gas tax, and give it to disadvantaged communities. He puts his trust in unelected regional Soviet (the word Soviet means “council” in Russian) style boards, such as SCAG.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan & Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) foists a half trillion dollar in proposed new taxes on the residents of Southern California. SCAG representative, Michelle Hansen says, “There is such a thing called structural disinvestment and structural racism and the [RTP/SCS] is trying to contradict centuries of disinvestment. In other words, people must pay reparations to people that are low income/minorities because they were prejudiced in the past; this seems to fit with AOC’s narrative that American is stolen land. Also, the RTP/SCS supports the Sustainability element of Environmental Justice, which accomplishes redistribution of tax money by insuring that low income households and also minorities’ interests are “protected” — protected from pollution because disadvantaged communities are being exposed to pollution, especially Latino communities.
“There is such a thing called structural disinvestment and structural racism and the [RTP/SCS] is trying to contradict centuries of disinvestment.”– Michelle Hansen, SCAG Representative
Gary Gileno, of the Grindall61 YouTube News Channel, explains in a video “The Truth About the Green New Deal: It’s a Massive Transfer of Wealth Based on Race”, how the big data tool called the Cal Enviro Screen Computer Program assesses Southern California’s most disadvantaged communities; meaning cities with populations that are more that 80% Latino.

Disadvantaged communities, by definition are Environmental Justice communities, whereby communities of color are far more likely to suffer from pollution than non- communities of color. Cap and Trade and gas tax money are being funneled into these communities, promoting sustainability, in the name of fighting climate change. The absurdity of this is agency central planners want people to believe that pollution skips over White and Asian areas and only impacts Latino areas. This is redistribution of wealth based solely on race. Furthermore, there is irony in that Sustainability taxes equally impact the poor and disadvantaged communities. For example, the gas tax impacts the one million illegal aliens that now drive cars in California.

Like many cities throughout the country, the city of Rancho Cucamonga publishes a recreation guide/city newsletter a few times a year. However, in recent years, Rancho’s version slants towards political agendas and environmental justice programs. “Volunteers” is a full-color section debuting in 2018 and in another in 2019 called, “Healthy RC”—an Michelle Obama initiative—is prominently displayed. These programs promote youth groups and college students, who are being influenced by propaganda. This becomes the reference point for youth groups in their mission to seek political change in the city. It's a bottom up approach for Socialist change.

College campuses are where the movement gets its voice of authority, and where it molds the views and commands the attention of young people.” This creates ready-made enviro- activists to push the city’s Sustainability agenda: Children, teens and minority groups act as political pawns to push the city’s “vision” as a “collaborative” community input process, which in turn is used by State legislatures to create more environmental laws because they claim it is what the people want, even though no one voted. Our children are being subjected to government propaganda in order to change their behavior to support Sustainability.

Mother Nature, the Gaia Earth Goddess, is promoted by California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra. Becerra is now the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary under the Biden administration.

On February 7, 2019, Attorney General for the State of California, Xavier Becerra, who has been endorsed by the Marxist California La Raza (meaning” the Race”) Lawyers Association, stated at a university event titled, Fighting for a Sustainable Future and Healthy Communities, that he would appeal to the rights of “Mother Nature” the Greek Gaîa, a primordial earth goddess in Greek myth, literally meaning “earth” — over Constitutional law. College kids are being brainwashed in Gaia worship. “… it’s not in my job description. It certainly is not written in the California Constitution, but I will tell you the last enemy I want is Mother Nature… and I plan to protect her. And for those that have not been honest, it’s time to come to Jesus…” Xavier Becerra
In the spring 2019 edition of the Grapevine RC Community Services Recreation Guide, the city touts the awards received for sustainability and energy efficiency efforts through the Sustainable Community Action Plan (S/CAP), a voluntary plan to reduce CO 2 emissions in the city. Emission reduction is arbitrary and meaningless. For example, the The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 34

State beat its initial emissions goals before 2020; however, the Democrat controlled legislature doubled-down and set even stricter goals, evidencing their authoritarian mindset of control.

Mayor Michaels believes that receiving awards from groups that push Sustainability “…authenticates the city’s holistic (all-inclusive, universal) approach to sustainability that encompasses a collaborative community input process.” These awards are claimed to validate the plan. In truth, they are just a rationalization for the plan, which should have never been installed in the first place.

The Mayor promotes the plan’s “Triple Bottom Line”: Environment, Economy and Community Equity & Health. “This is an evaluation tool and process developed to enhance the plan’s sustainability connections and potential outcomes.” This basically means the feeble attempt to measure CO2 emissions, as a goal, is a guess at best; therefore, the Triple Bottom Line is basically meaningless.  Environment – Claims a goal of reducing CO2 to some arbitrary level, which is impossible to measure because CO2 is fungible and blows around in the atmosphere. This also promotes reducing resource consumption of water, energy and fuel.
 Economy – “Increases energy, water and fuel cost savings, expanding workforce training/ recruitment in order to attract environmentally friendly businesses, all the while attempting to reduce maintenance and operating costs.” This basically promotes rationing of energy, water and fuel. It also, promotes cronyism because it illegally favors “environmentally friendly business” — businesses designated as Benefit Corporations or B-Corps that push the agenda of Sustainability, over other businesses. This is blatant discrimination.
 Community Equity & Health – Touts improving community “health”. This is Environmental Justice. This also contains a goal to propagandize the public for “support of Sustainability goals” by “engaging and empowering community”:
(volunteers and children) and local organizations (nonprofits pushing Sustainability).

Key areas in the S/CAP plan include:

Energy efficiency: The plan supports SB100, which removes all production of energy by fossil fuels, including gasoline for vehicles.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 35

Water efficiency: The plan supports SB606 and AB1660. Local water agencies have been given enforcement authority of water usage: Standards will be based on arbitrary formulas. The law states an allowance of 55 gallons per person per day for indoor water use — dropping to 50 gallons by 2030…” In theory people will not be able to shower and wash clothes in the same day.

Zoning and Land use/Openspace restrictions: This means shifting RC away from suburban equestrian community into “diverse” high-density urban communities, increasing the cost of police/fire services and increasing school bond debt.

Transportation/Mobility: Continue to invest in obsolete mass-transit and expensive Bike/Active Transportation Plans (ATP – Walking) infrastructure plans, even though a 2018 study by USC/UCLA found that disadvantaged people are not riding mass-transit; therefore the systems are going broke. Furthermore, Governor Newsom cancelled the bullet train project, obsoleting billions in completed Sustainability infrastructure.

Expensive Green building standards: Cost to comply with these standards increases the cost of new construction. New State law says all new construction must have solar systems, increasing costs by thousands of dollars. There is talk that residents will not be able to sell their property unless they comply with new retrofits. If they can’t afford them, they can’t sell their property.

Expensive waste management programs: You are taxed when you consume via sales tax and now there are proposals to tax people for the waste water that comes off your property.

As mentioned, the Mayor believes that receiving awards for the S/CAP “authenticates” the S/CAP plan. The awards received are from regional players and nonprofits that benefit directly from Sustainability grants. Therefore, these awards are basically mute because the city received them from nonobjective players “in the climate game”. They are biased and push the agenda of Sustainability. Awards presented are usually based on CO2 measurement models that rely on United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) data, which have been discredited because they have been found to be flawed due to fraud.

The city advocates and applies for multiple awards:
 Cool Planet Award from the Climate Registry. This is a voluntary program initiated by Southern California Edison (SCE) so cities can report their green- The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 36

house gas emissions. The State has basically putting utilities out of the electric generation business as they force the shutdown of gas-powered generation as it moves to 100% renewables. Again, reporting uses flawed data models, so this award is mute.
 Green Region Award from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG): SCAG has proposed a half trillion in new taxes to support Sustainability.

The gas tax, Measure A sales tax, and ever increasing school bonds. Note that RC’s S/CAP was initiated with a $150,000 from SCAG; therefore, this award has zero objectivity.
 Innovation in Green Community Award, from the American Planning Association (APA). The APA works closely with the United Nations at the local level to implement UN policy on reduced GHG emissions through visioning processes.

They are a primary driver in installing Sustainability at the local level. Their data and programs are biased; therefore, they can’t be cited as accurate.  Platinum Level Beacon Spotlight Award from the Institute for Local Government.

The Institute’s story began in 1955, with the support of a Ford Foundation grant to promote inter-jurisdictional cooperation among local agencies (regionalism) – Grants by progressive foundations taint and corruptly influence policy. Their current goal is to assist local leaders to govern openly, effectively and ethically, work collaboratively and foster healthy and sustainable communities. They support regional government; this award is meaningless because the (ILG) promotes a political agenda. When asked how they measured CO2 reduction, they did not respond.

Conclusion
Health departments and agencies are doing an end run around the Constitution and individual liberties. Anything can be classified as health under “safety and security” emergences. The State under COVID-19 guidelines and recommendations are seeking to control human physical, mental and spiritual health. It can be argued that the State is attempting to control life.

Sustainable development seeks to centrally control all life on the planet. This is evidenced in county and cities throughout America. Programs of action promoting sustainable development demean human exceptionalism and more recently, deem humans as nonessential.

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 37

All of this is being instituted through the United Nations and other international bodies like the World Economic Forum; all pushing the fascist Paris Agreement through a shadow governance of unelected bureaucrats who see “poverty” as the great equalizer for the world:

According to the United Nations Poverty is a major effect of global environmental problems because nations like the United States consume too much and have too much wealth, much in the form of private property.

The goal is to overthrow capitalism. According to critical race theorists “poverty is structural, embedded, institutionalized, and systemic requirement to maintain capitalism's efficacy; it is an ongoing outcome of hegemony, patriarchy, and a capitalistic economic structure.”
Marxist critical race theory is being used to embolden, radicalize, and finance minorities.

Resolutions by municipalities, deeming racism as a public health crisis, have created a catalyst for system change.

As of the date of this report, HSS has issued a resolution and created a website for action that could lead to undocumented people, here in the United States illegally, receiving health care and other services.

International edicts, through recommendations and guidelines are redefining traditional American culture. Borders are invisible under the Biden administration. The argument can be made that Americans are being replaced. Adding insult to injury, Americans are paying for this transformation.

As woke culture continues, more and more Americans are beginning to figure out that there is a radical plan to transform America into something they don’t recognize. Many find it hard to believe that their government has turned on them.

Americans need to restore fair elections and support candidates and government representatives by holding them accountable. That starts by understanding the issue; then, taking positive action to restore the Republic.

Action Items
It is hoped that this report has helped in that endeavor by pointing out some issues that people can act on now. Here are some action items:

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 38

 People can review “racism as a public health crisis resolutions” in their cities and counties; then, send the reviews, in the form of information requests demanding answers. If municipalities can’t answer the questions or prove stated claims, resolutions must be considered as flawed. Therefore, they should be rescinded and action items supporting them should be cancelled.
 All Sustainability/Sustainable Development and Cap & Trade programs promote environmental-green tyranny and need to be scoured from local cities. They are patently unconstitutional because these programs are installed through a corrupt faux consensus outreach process, which usurps our Constitutional Republican form of government. The people don’t get to vote on these programs. They are installed through biased surveys and reinforced by “stakeholders” — corporate nonprofits, youth groups, volunteers, and minority groups — that act as a faux democracy to encumber private property rights, redistributing wealth to disadvantaged communities.
 People can visit their city’s Web site and search “community development”. This is where minority youth group programs that support environmental justice can typically be found.
 Of course, most issues are symptoms of a much larger cause. The solution in regards to the United Nations and other international organizations, like the World Health Organization, is for the United States to get out. Therefore, support Federal legislation to remove the United States from these globalist institutions.

Critique of the Southern California Association of Governments Resolution

Date: March 27, 2021
To: The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Email: [email protected]
From: Dan Titus, ACSC
Email:[email protected]

Subject: Response to SCAG Special Committee on Equity and Social Justice

Thank you for the opportunity to respond in writing to your Zoom committee meeting for Tuesday, March 30, 2021 from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.1
We are disappointed by the time constraints imposed to respond to the content presented by SCAG staff for this special meeting. The content was last updated on March 24th; the deadline to respond in writing is March 30, 2021, whereby we only had three business days to look at this large trove of information, let alone respond in the way we would have liked. That said, here is our truncated response:

We object to the findings of staff to be presented at a special Zoom meeting of the Special Committee on Equity and Social Justice in its entirety and more specifically, Item number 1, dated March 30, 2021, from SCAG Executive Director’ Kome Ajise, subject title: Racial Equity Early Action Plan, because the plan is predicated on two prejudicial documents (Attached)2:

1. RC Agenda Item 1, dated July 2, from SCAG Executive Director’ Kome Ajise, subject title: “Presentation on Racial and Social Justice and SCAG's Policy Statement (Regional Discussion and Action on Equity and Social Justice” promoting the action to adopt,

2. Resolution No. 20-623-2, dated July 2, 2020

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 55

We Want Answers
There was a flurry of resolutions similar to SCAGs adopted by different jurisdictions last summer, on the heels of protests/riots, when emotions were high.

We have challenged the County of San Bernardino and the County of Riverside to produce evidence in regards to similar resolutions. To date, these counties can offer no scientific evidence to support their claims of systemic racism and that it is a “health crisis”, meaning environmental health whereby the solution is environmental justice remedies. San Bernardino in an email dated March 24, 2021 from David Wert, CAO for the county, stated, “the county does not possess records that would be responsive to your requests for scientific documentation, proof, or evidence.” This is legal precedent, because the county’s resolution echoes much of what is in SCAGs Resolution No. 20- 623-2.

We have reviewed the Resolution No. 20-623-2, dated July 2, 2020, and request more scientific evidence to support claims made in the document. Our interjections are in italics and are offered below.

Recommendation
We contend that SCAG is exhibiting “mission creep” and has overstepped its charter and that the ad hoc committee called the “Special Committee on Equity and Social Justice” should be dissolved because the issue of racism and it’s solution, equity, have become politicized; therefore, there are agendas in play, and we do not believe that SCAG should intercede at a metropolitan level when issues, involving justice and equity, can be addressed better at a local level given the legislation that is now available for jurisdictions: For example, bills like SB 1000 regarding environmental justice.

 There are laws on the books for cities and counties to deal with social justice/ equity. SCAG in asserting itself into the narrative and acting to play a preordained leadership role in “understanding and communicating the impacts that planning decisions have on low income families, communities of color and other disadvantaged communities.”

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments, that;

1. SCAG stands in solidarity with those working toward a fair and just society, and with those calling for systemic change to eliminate all barriers that reduce opportunity and undermine Southern California’s shared values and ability to thrive; and SCAG affirms its commitment to meaningfully advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion; and SCAG declares its intent to end racial and social disparities internal to the agency, strengthen the way it engages and convenes to protect and expand community voice and power, and work in partnership with others to close the gap of racial injustice and better serve our communities of color, and in so doing, serve all the people of the region.

 SCAG stands in solidarity with those working toward a fair and just society,  and with those calling for systemic change to eliminate all barriers that reduce opportunity…

 Please define “solidarity” and a “fair and just society” within the context of the United States Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

 Please define and show scientific evidence of “California’s shared values and ability to thrive”

 Please define “justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion” within the context of the United States Constitution

 Please show scientific evidence that there are racial and social disparities internal to the agency (SCAG).

 Please explain why SCAG seeks to “interject itself into politics to “expand community voice and power” Define: “voice”; define “Power”.

 SCAG seeks to “…Work with groups aligned with racial injustice and therefore, “better serve our communities of color”’ therefore,

The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 59

 According to SCAG, white people can’t be defined as a minority; even if there are less white people by number in a jurisdiction. Therefore, we see SCAGs statement to “serve all the people of the region” as seen through the lens of the Special Committee on Equity and Social Justice, as an oxymoron.

2. Furthermore, based upon this affirmation, an ad hoc Special Committee on Equity and Social Justice shall be established by the President to further develop SCAG’s response to advancing social justice throughout the agency’s activities, and advise the Regional Council on policies and practices to advance its resolved intentions. Regular reports shall be provided to the Regional Council on the work of the committee and a final set of recommendations shall be prepared, including any recommendations to amend SCAG’s bylaws within 9 months, for consideration by the Regional Council and General Assembly in May 2021.

CDC Declares Racism a Serious Public Health Threat

This declaration is provided here as a comparative to other local resolutions deeming racism as a public health crisis. Note the same critical race theory rhetoric used.35

Media Statement from CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, on Racism and Health
Media Statement
For Immediate Release: Thursday, April 8, 2021
Contact: Media Relations
(404) 639-3286

Today, Rochelle P. Walensky MD, MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), declared racism a serious public health threat. Adding action to words, she highlighted several new efforts CDC is leading to accelerate its work to address racism as a fundamental driver of racial and ethnic health inequities in the United States. She also unveiled a new website “Racism and Health”36 that will serve as a hub for the agency’s efforts and a catalyst for greater education and dialogue around these critical issues.

Statement from Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the death of over 500,000 Americans. Tens of millions have been infected. And across this country people are suffering. Importantly, these painful experiences and the impact of COVID-19 are felt, most severely, in communities of color—communities that have experienced disproportionate case counts and deaths, and where the social impact of the pandemic has been most extreme.

Yet, the disparities seen over the past year were not a result of COVID-19. Instead, the pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism.

What we know is this: racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans. As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation.

Racism is not just the discrimination against one group based on the color of their skin or their race or ethnicity, but the structural barriers that impact racial and ethnic groups differently to influence where a person lives, where they work, where their children play, and where they worship and gather in community. These social determinants of health The American Coalition for Sustainable Communities | [email protected] 61

have life-long negative effects on the mental and physical health of individuals in communities of color.

Over generations, these structural inequities have resulted in stark racial and ethnic health disparities that are severe, far-reaching and unacceptable.

As the nation’s leading public health agency, CDC has a critical role to play to address the impact of racism on public health.

We will continue to study the impact of social determinants on health outcomes, expand the body of evidence on how racism affects health, and propose and implement solutions to address this.

With COVID-19 funding, we are making new and expanded investments in racial and ethnic minority communities and other disproportionately affected communities around the country, establishing a durable infrastructure that will provide the foundation and resources to address disparities related to COVID-19 and other health conditions.

We are expanding our internal agency efforts to foster greater diversity and create an inclusive and affirming environment for all.

We are launching our new web portal “Racism and Health” as part of our ongoing commitment to serve as a catalyst for public and scientific discourse around racism and health, and to be accountable for our progress.

Confronting the impact of racism will not be easy. I know that we can meet this challenge. I know that we can create an America where all people have the opportunity to live a healthy life when we each take responsibility and work together. I am committed to this work. I certainly hope you will lean in and join me.

 AB-537 - would force city and county governments to follow the FCC mandates for "time periods and procedures" with regard to rapid deployment of wireless transmission facilities. It also removes Wireless Technology from municipal control, claiming that instead it is "a matter of statewide concern - Regionalization.
 SB 556 - would give Telecom uncontrolled access to any street light, traffic signal, utility pole or support structure. It would remove local control on the placement of small cells; It reduces property values; It mandates restrictions on fees local governments can charge for access to their infrastructure.

Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to share these remarks with you. My name is Jason Moss and I am the Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. Our mission is to strengthen and enhance Jewish life in our community and we also serve as the Jewish voice for our community - an area that covers a total of 48 cities - from Glendale to Rancho Cucamonga and south to Whittier. It is within this role that I am sharing these remarks with you.

Even without the current situation that is taking place in Israel, Jews are scared and afraid of being targeted because of who they are. Often considered to be the oldest form of hatred, antisemitism has hit levels not seen since before World War Two.

In case you were not aware, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) does an annual audit of the number of reported antisemitic incidents and attacks. And over the last 6 years, they report a 300% increase – 1267 reported hate incidents (including harassment, vandalism, and attacks) in 2016, and 3,697 reported incidents in 2022. And we know, anecdotally, that these figures are probably at least 2-3x higher because they do not include incidents that often go unreported each year. Here in California alone, there was a 41% increase of incidents between 2021 and 2022.

It is for this reason that I, and our local Jewish Federation, decided something needed to be done locally to combat antisemitism and all forms of hatred. As such, I wrote an Op-ed sharing that the Jewish community needed allies to stand with us. I also reached out to Mayor Michael and his 47 other mayoral colleagues in the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys to ask that their cities stand with the local Jewish community and pass resolutions denouncing antisemitism and all forms of hatred.

As City Leaders, I am also asking you to use YOUR voice tonight. Stand up and publicly state that the City of Rancho Cucamonga stands with those targeted, and you will not tolerate hate of any kind within your city by adopting the updated Statement of Civility, Empathy and Compassion! That is what adopting this statement will show. And by doing that, you will add Rancho Cucamonga to the list of 25 other cities in the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys whom have adopted resolutions, issued proclamations, or taken similar actions: Claremont, Upland, Monrovia, Alhambra, Sierra Madre, Temple City, San Gabriel, Pasadena, Whittier, Diamond Bar, Walnut, South Pasadena, Ontario, Glendale, Pomona, Arcadia, Rosemead, Glendora, Monterey Park, Covina, Montclair, La Puente, San Marino, El Monte, and Duarte.

And since we know that you cannot legislate away antisemitism, racism, or any other form of hatred, additional steps must be taken. I strongly encourage the City of Rancho Cucamonga to announce this updated statement to the community and as an additional step, bring together representatives from various targeted groups to share ideas and work with your city’s leadership to develop a robust city-wide plan to address, combat, and respond to all forms of hatred. And, I would also encourage you to commit to participating in United Against Hate Week which is November 12-18 this year.

But first…. make a statement and a commitment tonight by adopting the updated statement and show that all forms of hatred, including antisemitism, has no place in Rancho Cucamonga.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Purchase Public Safety Video Network (PSVN) Cameras in the Amount of $30,668 through Convergint Technologies from Fiscal Year 2021 Homeland Security Grant Funds. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of PSVN cameras in the amount of $30,668 through Convergint Technologies from the Fiscal Year 2021 Homeland Security Grant fund for the purchase of PSVN cameras to cover the City Hall employee parking area.

BACKGROUND:

In 2013, the City Council approved the initial phase of the PSVN which was installed around the Victoria Gardens Shopping Mall. In the years that followed, the PSVN has expanded to other locations including the Metrolink Parking Facility, City Hall, Rancho Cucamonga Public Libraries, and all four high schools located within the City.

ANALYSIS:

The Rancho Cucamonga City Hall and Police Department complex is accessed by numerous visitors who traverse unsecured public and employee parking lots. Additionally, the public attends City Council Meetings twice a month and may have as many as 240 in attendance at one meeting.

City employees come and go at different hours in order to provide services at City Hall. The goal is to provide PSVN camera coverage to the area where City employees park to both deter criminal activity and to provide evidence should an incident occur.

Convergint Technologies won a competitive bid contract with the County of San Bernardino. We will use their cooperative contract with the County of San Bernardino for the purposes of this purchase. This contract with Convergint Technologies will satisfy the Homeland Security Grant requirements for their bid process and a copy of the contract with San Bernardino County is attached.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Homeland Security Grant funds for Fiscal Year 2021 in the amount of $30,668 were previously appropriated and added to the 2023/2024 budget. There are no additional appropriations necessary at this time. $30,668 1381701-5603 (Capital Outlay – Equipment).

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve and Declare Listed Computers, Monitors, Toughbooks, Miscellaneous Equipment and Vehicles That Have Been Deemed No Longer Needed, Obsolete or Unusable as Surplus. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve and declare the listed computers, monitors, Toughbooks, miscellaneous equipment and vehicles that have been deemed no longer needed, obsolete or unusable as surplus.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council has authorized the Procurement Manager to dispose of City items that have been deemed obsolete and unsuitable for City use. Methods for disposing of surplus are to exchange for or trade in on new supplies, transfer to another department, or offer for sale on a competitive bid basis. After a reasonable effort, and if no bids have been received, Procurement may dispose of surplus for the highest scrap value. The City may sell surplus property to any other governmental agency at a fair market value without any other bids or donate surplus property to any agency or entity which is exempt from federal income tax, with the approval of City Council.

ANALYSIS:

The items to be considered for surplus at this time were submitted by the Department of Innovation and Technology and Public Works. Proposed surplus items include computers, monitors, Toughbooks, laptops, printers, Smart Boards, TVs, digital cameras and vehicles deemed no longer needed, obsolete or unusable. Staff recommends Council approve the disposal of these items through auction or best method as determined by the Procurement Manager.

FISCAL IMPACT:

To date, in FY 2023/24, surplus has accumulated $32.75 in sales through the Public Surplus auction site.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

Reusing and recycling items supports the City Council's Core Value of promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all.

SUBJECT: Consideration of the Purchase of Seventy-Five Replacement Handheld Radios from Motorola Solutions, Inc. as a Single Source Vendor in the Amount of $529,170. (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Fire Board authorize the single source purchase of seventy-five (75) handheld radios and miscellaneous related equipment from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $529,170.

BACKGROUND:

The fire service operates in unique and challenging environments. The life safety of firefighters and citizens depends on reliable, functional communication tools that work in the harshest and most hostile of environments.

Similar to self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and personal protective equipment (PPE), handheld radios are essential components of firefighter survival. Firefighters often work with limited or no visibility and with extreme noise levels due to fire apparatus, saws, hose nozzle operations, etc. Fire conditions often require firefighters to crawl on their hands and knees or perform job functions while lying down. Gloves, SCBA, and other PPE restrict vision, hearing and the manual dexterity required to operate radio controls. Not being able to see or hear makes fireground communications challenging. During interior firefighting operations, firefighters use their handheld radios to communicate with each other to assess the status of incident operations or to request specific firefighting tactics. Firefighters also use their radios to communicate with company officers to inform them of conditions. Most importantly, firefighters depend on their radios to call a Mayday. Handheld radios allow firefighters inside to communicate with personnel on the outside who may have a better vantage point from which to assess conditions – the size and location of the fire and building conditions. Information from outside can prevent crews from advancing into dangerous conditions inside.

In September 2003, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) released the document, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems, where on page 13 it states: “It is critical for firefighters to communicate with one another within a structure and with units operating outside the structure, regardless of the building construction.” The best way this can be done when crews are separated

or in trouble are through the use of a personal handheld radio.

The Fire District uses Motorola 800 MHz handheld radios, which are the standard within the County and Region. They are a key component in maintaining interoperability with CONFIRE, Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, all other County first responder agencies, Cal Fire, and the US Forest Service during Mutual and Automatic Aid.

When the FCC agreed to restructure the 800MHz band- Nextel Sprint- part of the agreement was to exchange certain public safety radios that qualified. The radios issued as part of this re-banding are exclusively Motorola. The County of San Bernardino Information Services Department (ISD) is the administrator of this program. The Fire District has a contract with the County (ISD) for Monthly radio access and maintenance. County ISD solely maintains and programs Motorola radios. Motorola radios are the radios used on the 800 MHz trunking system infrastructure within our County and region.

ANALYSIS:

The Fire District currently uses the Motorola XTS 5000 radio. This radio model was released by Motorola in 2005 and is 18 years old. Considered "legacy" equipment, the radios were discontinued by Motorola in 2013 and have been operating without hardware and software support by Motorola since 2018. County ISD has continued to support and maintain the radios to the best of their ability utilizing parts they have on hand or can still acquire on the market.

Due to the age of the current radios, staff began evaluating options for replacement during the planning process for FY 2022-23. Staff evaluated the Motorola radios models currently on the market, as well as upcoming models that had not yet been released. At that time, it was estimated that the cost for the newest model would be $15,000 per radio and the replacement of the Fire District’s full inventory of radios (153) would cost approximately $2,300,000, separate of any related accessory equipment and bank chargers. Due to the high cost, as well as uncertainties related to the release date and specifications of the newer radio model, staff determined the need to reevaluate options at a later date.

When planning for the current FY 2023-24, staff reevaluated the Motorola radios models currently on the market, including the recently released models. Staff determined that the Motorola APX 8000 radio would best meet the needs of the Fire District. Key elements of the APX 8000 radio include the following:
•Bluetooth-enabled APX radios capable of transmitting SCBA voice and data. •GPS & Bluetooth: The APX 8000 has GPS and Bluetooth for location tracking and wireless device connectivity.
•Extra-large buttons for glove use.
•Multi-Band Operation: The APX 8000 supports VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz bands, offering diverse communication options for public safety infrastructure. •Interoperability: This radio ensures seamless communication with users across the county, region, and state, even beyond local systems.
•Improved Communication: Multi-band operation and interoperability enable effective communication across agencies and departments.
•Enhanced Safety: GPS and Bluetooth offer real-time tracking and monitoring, while digital, Wi-Fi, and cellular options ensure reliable communication and increased safety.

At a cost of $8,450 per radio, the replacement of the Fire District’s full inventory of radios (153)

was estimated at $1,292,850, separate of related equipment. Staff determined that the best option would be a two-phase approach that would spread cost over multiple years and would also allow the Fire District flexibility in transitioning to newer model radios in the second phase, if needed. Phase One consisted of the purchase of 45 radios for all chief officers and company officers. Phase Two consisted of the purchase of the remaining 108 radios for remaining Fire District staff, including engineers, firefighters, fire prevention staff, and administrative staff.

Subsequently, the Fire District budgeted $400,000 in FY 2023-24 for Phase One of the radio replacement.

At the beginning of current FY 2023-24, staff contacted Motorola to get an updated quote for the APX 8000 radio in order to begin the purchasing process. At that time, staff was notified by Motorola of a “sale” on radios purchased prior to December 2023. The discounted sale price reduced the cost per radio from $8,450 to $6,570, a savings of approximately 22.25%. Due to the discounted sale pricing, staff reevaluated the quantity of radios to include as part of Phase One. Staff recommends that that the quantity be increased from 45 to 75 radios. This will ensure that all fire personnel, from firefighters to chief officers, who have the potential of entering a structure under hazardous conditions are outfitted with the APX 8000 and have access to the enhanced safety features of this radio. Phase Two will then consist of fire prevention staff and administrative staff.

The cost of purchasing 75 handheld radios and miscellaneous related equipment is $529,169. In order to provide continuity of operations and ensure the health and safety of Fire District personnel, Staff recommends utilizing a single source purchase directly with Motorola Solutions, Inc. to purchase the radios.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase of replacement handheld radios was approved in the FY 2023-24 budget. A total of $400,000 was allocated in the Fire Protection Capital Fund under account 3288501-5603 (Capital Outlay – Equipment). The total purchase price will be $529,170. There are sufficient funds available within the Fire Protection Capital Fund to cover the cost of purchasing additional handheld radios.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

This item brings together portions of the Council’s vision and core value by providing a sustainable City and promoting a safe and healthy community for all. This is accomplished by ensuring our first responders have the resources and tools necessary to respond effectively during emergency situations.

INITIATED BY: Ruth Cain, CPPB, Procurement Manager
Cheryl Combs, Procurement Technician
SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve the Use of a San Bernardino County Contract for the Procurement of Furniture Systems and Other Furniture Related Items in Accordance with Adopted Fiscal Year Budgets. (CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council and Fire Board approve the use of a San Bernardino County Contract to procure free standing furniture, furniture systems and other furniture-related items for various City departments and facilities, to be funded from various City and Fire District accounts, through piggyback purchasing from the following nine vendors: BKM Officeworks CO# 22-1281, Bluespace Interiors CO# 22-1282, G/M Business Interiors CO # 22-1283, Government Business Interiors LLC CO# 22-1284, J.K. Miklin, Inc. dba Yamada Enterprises CO# 22-1285, Office & Ergonomic Solutions Inc. CO# 22-1286, Pacific Coast Business Interiors CO# 22-1287, Quality Office Furnishings, Inc. CO# 22-1288, and Systems Source, Inc. CO# 22-1289, and authorize the use of future County contract renewals in accordance with adopted fiscal year budgets.

BACKGROUND:

In 2016, the City Council approved the use of a piggyback contract awarded by the County of San Bernardino to multiple furniture vendors. After the 2016 contract expired, the County of San Bernardino conducted a competitive bid process, evaluated responses, and awarded contracts to the above named vendors in accordance with the lowest bids for various types of furniture, offering the best value to the County.

Per the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s Municipal Code, Section 3.08.070, the City may award contracts that are in the City’s best interest and when the contracts are from supplier(s) that were awarded a specific item(s) in a contract resulting from a formal competitive process by another governmental agency. The San Bernardino County contract allows other government agencies to utilize the contract at the same prices, terms and conditions. The Procurement Division has reviewed the bid documents and awarded contracts and is satisfied that the solicitation process and terms meet the City’s requirements. The City and Fire District will receive a discount off the most recently published list price, which would not be offered in a stand-alone contract due to the City’s relatively low purchasing volume.

ANALYSIS:

The County of San Bernardino has conducted a competitive bid process and has extended the use of the awarded contracts to other government agencies. The Procurement Division has

Page 2 ends

reviewed the bid and evaluation process and has determined the process and contract terms align with the City’s standards.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for the usage of this cooperative contract.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

Continuing to utilize cooperative contracts to procure items that are deemed to be the best value to the City supports the City Council’s Core Values of the relentless pursuit of improvement and intentionally embracing and anticipating our future.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Award the Purchase of One Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck from Velocity Fire Equipment in the Amount of $1,819,720 and Approve an Additional Appropriation in the Amount of $219,720 from Fire Protection Capital Fund. (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Fire Board authorize an award to Velocity Fire Equipment, in accordance with RFP #22/23-012, for the purchase of one (1) Rosenbauer Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck (TDA) for a total amount of $1,819,720 and approve an additional appropriation for $219,720 from Fire Protection Capital Fund.

BACKGROUND:

As part of the annual budget preparation process, the Fire District reviews the current vehicle and apparatus inventory list and identifies those units needing replacement. This evaluation considers the mileage, current age, and actual years of operation compared to expected years, mechanical condition, and repair history.

Per the 2016 edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus (NFPA) 1901 "Standard for Automotive Apparatus" guidelines, to maximize firefighting capabilities and minimize the risk of injuries, it is crucial that fire apparatus be equipped with the latest safety features and operating capabilities. In the last 10 to 15 years, much progress has been made in upgrading functional capabilities and improving the safety features of fire apparatus.

NFPA recommends apparatus more than 15 years old be placed in reserve status and removed within 25 years. A fire apparatus is an emergency vehicle that must be relied on to transport firefighters safely to and from an incident and to operate reliably and adequately to support the mission of the Fire District. A piece of fire apparatus that breaks down at any time during an emergency operation not only compromises the operation's success but might jeopardize the safety of the firefighters.

The new TDA will replace Unit 105-08, a 2008 KME Ladder Truck (MT175) located at Fire Station 175. In 2014, MT175 was involved in a traffic collision on the 210 freeway, which ultimately required removing the engine and transmission and replacing it with a new engine and transmission due to the accident and factory issues. This "repower" added an additional 8-10 years of front-line service and provides an estimated 5-8 years more in reserve status. Current MT175 will replace the reserve TDA, Unit 71-02. Unit 71-02 was the Fire District's very first TDA

and will be approximately 24 years old. The Fire District was trained to operate a TDA using this apparatus. Due to NFPA 1901 guidelines, its age, the number of in-service and training hours, high mileage (117,469), no longer meeting the current emissions standards, and the challenge to find the parts to keep it operationally ready at all times, Unit 71-02 is at the end of its functional life and will be surplused.

Fire District Ladder Trucks provide crucial personnel and equipment that is not replicated within any other apparatus in the Fire District and is critical to accomplishing the organization's mission.

The Ladder Trucks provide 100 foot of aerial ladder support to the fire ground, providing access to unreachable areas with ground ladders. The Ladder Trucks also supply emergency lighting and electricity, vehicle extrication, forcible entry, technical rescue, ventilation, salvage and overhaul, and breathing air supply. It serves as an additional Paramedic response vehicle.

With commercial (including multi-family apartments, etc.) and industrial growth in our community, the Fire District has concluded that the best platform to provide the above services is with a Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck. This new TDA will be shorter, lighter (estimated 10,000 lbs), and more fuel efficient than the current Truck, allowing it to serve its mission more effectively.

ANALYSIS:

Fire District staff provided specifications for one (1) Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck to the Procurement Division. Procurement prepared and posted formal RFP #22/23-012 on April 5, 2023, to the City's automated procurement system. As a result, two hundred sixty-seven (267) vendors were notified, sixteen (16) prospective bidders downloaded the RFP documentation, and two (2) responses were received and evaluated.

An Evaluation Panel of Fire District and City staff thoroughly analyzed the RFP responses, scoring and ranking them on several criteria.

The consolidated scores above resulted in Velocity Fire Equipment as the highest-ranked vendor.

Therefore, the Fire District is recommending an award to Velocity Fire Equipment in accordance with the specifications published in RFP #22/23-012. All applicable documentation is on file in the City's electronic Procurement system and can be located through the City's Website.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fire District budgeted $1,600,000 in the current fiscal year in account number 3288501-5604 (Capital Outlay–Vehicles). The expense of the new TDA is higher than anticipated; therefore, the Fire District requests an appropriation of $219,720 from account number 3288501-5604 (Capital Outlay-Vehicles) for the additional cost.

Staff anticipates cost savings to the final unit price. Velocity Fire Equipment has proposed that if the Fire Dsitrict pays in full, the cost of the cab/chassis/tiller cab and aerial ladder/frame/tiller suspension upon arrival at the Rosenbauer South Dakota facility, a discount of $29,061 will be applied to the final invoice.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

This item combines portions of the Council's vision and core values by providing a sustainable City and promoting a safe and healthy community for all. This is accomplished by ensuring our first responders have the resources and tools necessary to respond to emergency incidents.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-009 with Hunter Consulting Inc., dba HCI Environmental & Engineering for Hazardous Waste Cleanup and Removal in an amount not to exceed $168,500 for City and Fire District Services in FY 2023/2024 and Appropriate $79,000 from Capital Reserve Fund Balance to 1025001-5320. (CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors approve Amendment No. 1 to contract CO 2022-009 with Hunter Consulting Inc., dba HCI Environmental & Engineering extending the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 for hazardous waste cleanup and removal in an amount not to exceed $168,500 for City and Fire District Services in FY 2023/2024 and appropriate $79,000 from Capital Reserve fund balance to 1025001-5320.

BACKGROUND:

In February 2022, the City Council and Board of Directors accepted the bids received for hazardous waste cleanup and removal and awarded contract CO 2022-009 to Hunter Consulting Inc. in an amount not to exceed $126,000 for the remainder of FY 2021/2022 and FY 2022/2023.

The Public Works Services Department (PWSD) and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) contract hazardous waste and removal services on an as-needed basis. In the public right-of-way, some of these services include removal and disposal of flammable liquids, corrosives, gases, biohazards, bodily fluids, and flammable solids. Other services in the public right-of-way include drum remediation and disposal, confined space entry and vacuum tank services. City and Fire District facilities also utilize these services for clarifier and septic waste cleaning, transportation, and disposal. Additionally, these services are contracted for traffic collision cleanup where hazardous material is present.

On August 14, 2023, a large traffic collision involving a dump truck towing a skid steer loader and a pool supply pickup truck full of chemicals took place resulting in the need to contract Hunter Consulting Inc. to assist with the cleanup and removal of hazardous waste. The cleanup included eight hours of multiple Hunter Consulting Inc. personnel and equipment used after-hours and the disposal of various chemicals incurring a cost of $32,874.98. This traffic collision was uncommon

and accumulated eight hours of service primarily because of the disposal procedure of the various pool supply chemicals. PWSD and Risk Management are currently working together to recuperate the cost recovery reimbursement for this traffic collision.

ANALYSIS:

Hunter Consulting Inc. has submitted a Letter of Intent expressing their desire to continue providing service to the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Fire District. Hunter Consulting Inc. provides reliable service to the City and Fire District. The hazardous waste cleanup is currently budgeted for $21,000. As a result of the traffic accident that occurred on August 14th and future unanticipated need for hazardous waste cleanup throughout the fiscal year, the City is recommending an appropriation of $79,000.

If approved, Amendment 1 to contract CO 2022-009 will extend the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 and $79,000 will be appropriated to account 1025001-5320. A copy of this agreement is available in the City Clerk’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted FY 2023/24 budget includes $73,480 for clarifier pumping, septic tank pumping and emergency cleanup of hazardous materials in the public rights of way. The proposed appropriation of $79,000 from Capital Reserve fund balance to 1025001-5320 will bring the total FY 2023/24 budget for these services to $152,480 as shown in the table below.

Account Funding Source Amount

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 001 to the Professional Services Agreement with PFM Asset Management LLC for Professional Investment Advisory Services (CO #2020-089) to Renew the Contract for Two (2) Additional Years and Increase the Not-to-Exceed Amount Payable to $905,000 Over the Five-Year Term. (CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council and Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District approve Amendment No. 001 to Contract #2020-089 with PFM Asset Management LLC (PFM) for professional investment advisory services to renew the contract for two (2) additional years, for a total of five (5) years, and to increase the not-to-exceed amount payable to $905,000 over the five-year term.

BACKGROUND:

Many governments engage investment advisors for assistance in managing their investment portfolios. The City retains PFM to perform various portfolio services including professional portfolio management, specialized risk management, and continuity in the investment function.

On August 5, 2020, the City Council approved a three-year contract with PFM Asset Management LLC for professional investment advisory services. The contract included the option to renew for two additional years for a total of five years. The total estimated value of the contract over the five years, at the time, was $773,460.

ANALYSIS:

Fees for investment advisory are based on assets under management. Assets under management exclude funds not directly under PFM management, such as LAIF and CAMP. PFM provided a two-tier approach to their fees. As shown below, the Tier 1 discount reflects the fee schedule (in basis points) based on assets under management, and the Tier 2 discount reflects a fee cap which was valid for the first three (3) years of the contract.

Year 2: Not to exceed

Year 3: Not to exceed
$155,000
PFM provided a sliding scale fee structure based on the assets under management paired with a “not to exceed” fee for years one, two, and three of the contract. Based on the combined portfolios of the City and Fire District as of June 30, 2020, and assuming the conversion of $85 million of liquid assets into investments under PFM’s management over the first three years, the annual fee was estimated to be approximately $184,230 in the final two years of the contract. The total estimated value of the contract over the five years was $773,460.

Over the course of the first three years of the contract, the assets under management by PFM have grown at a steady pace due to the reinvestment of earnings and large deposits due to grants (such as ARPA) and development-related activity. This growth is illustrated in the chart below:

The original fee estimate for the final two years of the contract was calculated based on an anticipated $331 million in assets under management (AUM). As noted above, the level of AUM exceeded this amount by the end of the second year of the contract. As such, the fee estimate for the remaining two years of the contract must be increased to accommodate the growth in both the City’s and the Fire District’s portfolios. PFM has estimated the updated not-to-exceed amount for the five-year contract to be $905,000, with $405,000 of this amount pertaining to the not-to- exceed amounts for Years 1-3 and $500,000 of this amount pertaining to the final two years of the contract. The portion allocated to Year 4 of the contract (FY 2023/24) is estimated to be $247,600.

The attached Amendment No. 1 to PFM’s contract formally extends the contract for two more years and increases the not-to-exceed amount to $905,000 based on PFM’s estimates.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Adopted Budget includes the following amounts budgeted for Year 4 of the PFM contract:
 1001001-5300 (General Overhead – Contract Services): $202,650  3281501-5300 (Fire Fund-Administration – Contract Services): $35,410  Total: $238,060

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve a Five-Year Agreement with Sidepath Inc. in the Amount of $2,600,000 for Virtual Infrastructure Software Enterprise License Agreement and Server Infrastructure Hardware Support; and Authorization of an Appropriation in the Amount of $2,104,000. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District Board:

1. Approve a five-year agreement with Sidepath Inc. in the amount of $2,600,000 for Virtual Infrastructure Software Enterprise Licensing Agreement and Server Infrastructure Hardware Support; and

2. Authorize the appropriation of $1,052,000 to account number 1714001-5300, and $1,052,000 to account number 3288501-5300.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s modern IT infrastructure includes a virtual environment which is facilitated by using virtualization software. Having a virtual environment is beneficial to the City and Fire District. It reduces costs as there is less reliance on physical machines and servers. It enhances security with facilitating processes such as blocking unauthorized access and isolating applications. It makes disaster recovery much easier to restore than fixing hardware failures. Additionally, having a virtual environment allows the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) the flexibility to quickly scale up or down to meet the City and Fire District’s needs. In order to have this technology the City must review, approve, and sign an Enterprise Licensing Agreement (ELA) which is typically completed every five years. To maintain the virtual environment, it requires the use of physical hardware which is a Dell Server system currently housed in the data center. This hardware should be continually maintained to ensure performance and security, therefore an extension of support services is necessary.
