A commenter identified as Georgia said: \"No no no es de dudarse que los animales están hambrientos hasta morir peleándose por comida. ... No hay sedativos antes de la eutanasia.\" She urged the council to stop what she described as mistreatment and demanded action at future meetings.

Lido Shivot described a personal adoption that led to unexpectedly caring for eight puppies after an adopted dog was pregnant; he told the council he had expected the shelter to disclose the animal’s condition and urged a full‑time veterinarian or stronger partnerships with veterinary schools.

Another commenter who identified work preparing a grant package said the city had access to roughly $3.3 million in funding lines for animal services (including approximately $1.5 million for a veterinarian and $1.5 million for a mobile clinic in the materials the speaker provided). That commenter said none of the programs in the package were being used to support community sterilization or preventative programs as intended and urged the council to deploy funds for community services and a full‑time doctor.

Speakers described rescues of dozens of animals and expressed frustration at perceived indifference from staff. Councilmember Ortiz and other members accepted invitations to visit the shelter and review the mobile clinic; staff acknowledged a part‑time veterinary presence but did not announce a full‑time hire during the meeting.

Residents framed their concerns as issues of basic animal welfare and municipal accountability, and they called for a transparent investigation and a plan to ensure medically informed adoption procedures, community‑based sterilization programs and improved shelter operations. City staff acknowledged receipt of public concerns and said staff would follow up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","REUNION DEL ALCALDE Y AYUTAMIENTO - 03/05/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple residents urged the San Bernardino City Council on Feb. 27 to address alleged deficiencies at the city’s animal shelter, calling for a full‑time veterinarian, better medical screening before adoption and more transparency.","taxTitle","San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California","taxId",9775,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6647361,"City manager highlights Caltrans safety grant, college grant request and upcoming park construction",232,448000,680000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2524373-76c5bce660232ac25c4bcbd37c8d5dfb&start=448&end=680","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2524373-76c5bce660232ac25c4bcbd37c8d5dfb/thumbnail_448000.jpg","/articles/6647361/San-Bernardino/San-Bernardino-County/California/City-manager-highlights-Caltrans-safety-grant-college-grant-request-and-upcoming-park-construction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6647361-988eeaa21b136f7d1c56f6f446e138e5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448644&Signature=IiwaypmDUoFim4h7k59MAa7lF5PVfhqqAfTz~V0KDF5SJDyk9OgX3OETnlHXnfOjZE539RvQq-OUuLQZz75PRXf~qFJikFwB9YVLJLOLO3bX~69G0j0a69gvq8q5yuwTKdNGfp1rlVM39GKMMCyx1DJl3JJkOj1xutX6DuXcf6Uj2iQi-oM7A4LmsmDyVJZL4d8GqyBTsI0QvNlBiWbFdT1PhDT-ow2sAO~pYF-eT6ngtJZKM1V4hTauBm6PFZ78Nbq-KNflh4ua2am4j8OgbQucYhNxa2-hiti2FXnygAgPg-8oRrgvVGHlJSi0wiBVVI3kYCff2zwgoAeD~nZhFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Interim City Manager Gallardo opened his report by summarizing recent grants, partnerships and upcoming projects.

Gallardo said the city received a $2.9 million Caltrans Local Road Safety Program grant to construct medians (described as camellones) along E Street between Fairway Drive and 10th Street, a corridor of nearly 3.5 miles. Staff said the medians are designed to improve pedestrian and traffic safety.

Gallardo also reported that San Bernardino Valley College has applied for a $34 million grant to build an applied technology building to support automotive technology training and career pathways. The transcript identified the request as a $34 million grant application submitted by the college.

Staff described a major renovation project at Lake Seconbe (park name as presented in the meeting), with the park scheduled to close for about one year starting Monday, March 13, for a project estimated at $13.8 million that will include reconstruction and renovation of park facilities and a gazebo.

Gallardo said he has met with key community and institutional leaders — including the college president, a county supervisor and the school district superintendent — to build partnerships for city initiatives and that the city is conducting a search for a permanent city manager in coordination with an outside recruiter.

Council members and staff highlighted the importance of public outreach in advance of construction and grant processes. No formal votes were taken on these report items; they were presented as informational updates to the council and the public.","Interim City Manager Gallardo reported that the city received a $2.9 million Caltrans local road safety grant for E Street median construction, San Bernardino Valley College applied for a $34 million grant for applied technology training, and a $13.8 million renovation of Lake Seconbe park will begin with a closure scheduled March 13.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6647362,"Council approves $600,000 from general fund for quick‑build housing program",61,2915000,2976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2524373-76c5bce660232ac25c4bcbd37c8d5dfb&start=2915&end=2976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2524373-76c5bce660232ac25c4bcbd37c8d5dfb/thumbnail_2915000.jpg","/articles/6647362/San-Bernardino/San-Bernardino-County/California/Council-approves-600000-from-general-fund-for-quickbuild-housing-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6647362-7b380f832abb8861211850c88a0fd34e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448644&Signature=FR7CP~k4Zs46OmSZ3wva634va1rYr1a~IHSTHCJD49I7AaNUOozAe4Hna2OAylI0GZ8WG0gf8ef5-8B5sDrCwUVYAhxlGvhnywzFW04Yatxsma4r91QXRz19Dj-1qtnjgy683KVgpVGkSb04aA5b26WyBZl8mMplxDofVpz8QzxCunp5dq-0tT1PTpjSIKkeuvi7aDmnzTgyHnGpLxq7Zsg-W3nx1oJB~As7IKuHXSJSyVS2VynNG00ED-ZCyvcqCwa5pao9efIdzr-Gezp7OWduX8vAQdaK46yxERy6SIjahSapkwoPXYnwi0lyVvW12uR8An~nRN0HI1pZ2VkYKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Bernardino City Council approved a $600,000 allocation from the general fund for a rapid housing program described in the meeting as \"new quick homes.\"

The staff report indicated the $600,000 would be used across council districts; the transcript identifies the line item as being funded from the general fund and designated for housing purposes across all districts.

The ENA authorizes the parties to negotiate principal terms over a two-year period that would be memorialized later in a development and disposition agreement. Housing staff described the site as about 3.5 acres made up of multiple parcels and said an appraisal estimate placed site value at approximately \"six point millions\" as presented to the council.

Housing manager Pérez presented the proposal and described the proposed unit mix in phase one as two one‑bedroom units, 24 two‑bedroom units and 25 three‑bedroom units, plus other multi‑family configurations. Councilmembers who spoke in favor said the project would add rental housing opportunities and help prevent homelessness by increasing supply.

Council discussion praised the developer’s prior projects and emphasized continued oversight during negotiation. Interim City Manager Gallardo said his prior agency had worked with Jamboree and that earlier projects were managed well on completion.

The council voted to approve the ENA; the meeting transcript records the item passing with council support. The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally for each member in the spoken record; the council clerk indicated the item passed on the consent/regular calendar.

The ENA does not itself authorize construction or final financing; it starts a negotiation phase that staff said could include subsequent amendments, financing agreements and development agreements that would return to the council for approval.

Proponents and staff said the project aims to provide permanently affordable units and to leverage outside housing funds and developer financing during the two‑year negotiation period. Specific sources and amounts of funding for the development were discussed in general terms but were not finalized during the meeting.","The San Bernardino City Council approved an exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) with JHC Acquisitions and Jamboree Housing Corporation to pursue development of about 3.5 acres known as Site 12, a proposed 101-unit multifamily affordable housing project.

Multiple speakers accused past and present officials of corrupt practices and asked the council to pursue investigations. Dolores Armstead urged removal of certain officials and said the city had paid \"millions\" in separations; another commenter referenced recent reporting and asked for explanations about administrators who were reportedly absent from meetings. Several speakers called for stability in city management and criticized frequent turnover in city managers.

Several residents described poor street conditions and expensive vehicle damage caused by potholes. One commenter presented photographs and said repair costs exceeded $3,000 for a single vehicle repair and handed a small award to Public Works staff sarcastically for the condition of the streets. Other speakers said they have repeatedly reported code violations, illegal truck storage on neighborhood lots and poor follow‑through from enforcement staff.

Public comments also raised concerns about homelessness services and nonprofit funding; one resident argued more money spent on programs had not reduced homelessness. A speaker identified as Robert Carrillo voiced support for a housing item on the agenda and asked for clarification about how housing funds for a proposed project would be allocated.

Council members and the mayor acknowledged the comments and said staff would follow up where appropriate. No formal council action on these public complaints occurred during the meeting; they were raised to request further investigation and staff response.","During public comment at the Feb. 27 San Bernardino City Council meeting, many residents accused city officials of corruption, urged greater accountability and stability in city management, and raised infrastructure complaints including extensive potholes and code enforcement issues.","actionData","errors"]
