Raul Godinho said the property near his parents' home was purchased by investors who placed \"not 1, not 2, not 3... but 6\" convicted rapists and two child molesters in the house, and that the presence of those people has caused family members and neighbors to fear for their safety. \"My parents live in fear. My community lives in fear,\" Godinho said, adding that school buses and children use nearby stops and that residents have had to invest in security systems.

Acela Obiakor, who said she has lived on Poplar Street for 32 years, told the council the home is \"now occupied by six convicted rapists and child molesters\" and described a special‑needs school bus that stops directly next door. \"Help us find a legal and enforceable way to get these predators out of our community,\" Obiakor said.

Residents asked the council to identify legal tools and policies that could prevent the placement of high‑risk offenders in small residential neighborhoods, to notify affected neighbors, and to hold investors accountable for where they house high‑risk individuals. Several speakers said they intended to return to future meetings until they receive a concrete plan.

Council members and staff did not take immediate action during the meeting but received the testimony. Council staff or the city attorney's office would need to review state law and county housing placement practices to determine what legal remedies, if any, the city can employ, and to identify notification or zoning approaches that comply with state and federal laws.

Speakers representing day‑laborer advocacy groups and neighborhood residents said officers have been ticketing and harassing workers who gather informally in the lot, and they pressed the city to create an organized day‑labor hiring center on a nearby commercial parcel and to meet with police leadership to stop enforcement practices they described as discriminatory.

\"When we asked for their badge number and identification, they said verbatim, they don't need to give us that information,\" said Angel Lyra, organizer with the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center, describing an episode in which officers attempted to tow a day laborer's car. Lyra urged the council to stop police harassment and to support a day‑labor center on a nearby parcel (parcel ID referenced by advocates: 014404265) that advocates said is commercially suitable, paved and already active as an auto dealership.

Alexis Deloto, worker rights director for the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center, said the group had prepared a memo proposing solutions and asked the council to place the item on a future agenda and to arrange a meeting with the police chief. \"We would like a temporary moratorium\" on citations while the parties meet to pursue a solution, Deloto said.

Speakers also raised fear of ICE enforcement and impersonation: KR, a resident who described immigrant population figures for the Inland Empire, said raids and ICE tactics cause families to stay home, hurt local commerce and traumatize children. \"Family separations are traumatizing kids throughout our city,\" KR said, and added that fear causes people to avoid schools and medical care.

Multiple neighborhood and community representatives requested formal city support and a structured hiring zone so day laborers can safely seek work without fear of harassment or abduction; Vina Salfarro of the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center, echoed the request for a day‑labor center and cited success in Pomona as a model.

City staff and council members acknowledged the requests during the meeting; Deloto said she would email the memo to council members after the clerk did not distribute copies at the dais. Several council members indicated staff had previously met with advocates about temporary measures but Deloto said advocates had not yet heard back from the city manager about proposed temporary solutions discussed in earlier meetings.

Advocates asked the council to set a date for a meeting with the police chief and to place the day‑labor center proposal on a future agenda so the city, police and community groups can explore an enforceable, long‑term plan.

Key actions taken include approval of the consolidated plan and annual action plan, authorization of a consultant for the city's enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation, authorization for additional investigation work at the Waterman Landfill, and approval to proceed with a citywide crosswalk review.

Summary of council actions and outcomes

- Consolidated Plan and 2025–26 Annual Action Plan (Item 3): Motion to approve by Council member Theodore Sanchez; passed unanimously. Staff will upload the plan to HUD's IDIS for review before funds are released.

- Waterman Landfill monitoring and investigative work (Item 14): Council approved an agreement to perform trenching and borings to better define the historic landfill footprint and investigate methane \"hot\" probe readings that exceed regulatory standards; the city said the San Bernardino County Department of Environmental Health issued notices of noncompliance and requested additional testing. Motion passed unanimously.

The plan, described by city staff as the second and final public hearing on the 2025–2030 consolidated plan and the 2025–26 annual action plan, sets how San Bernardino will use HUD funds to support affordable housing, homelessness services and community development projects over the next five years. The city reported anticipated five‑year totals of roughly $12,000,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, $5,000,000 in HOME funds and $1,100,000 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, and said first‑year allocations total about $2,700,000 in CDBG, about $1,100,000 in HOME and $241,347 in ESG.

The plan document lists programs and projects that staff said align with HUD priorities, including dental and medical services, rehabilitation services, housing assistance, services for people experiencing homelessness, a future housing project entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Jamboree, and contracts for landlord‑tenant mediation with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board. City staff said one public comment (received earlier and incorporated) and any comments made at the June 18 hearing would be added to the draft before submission to HUD\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000for review in HUD\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000's IDIS system.

During public comment, Scott Olsen, a San Bernardino resident, spoke on multiple topics but addressed aspects of the plan by urging support for public safety vehicle funding and for modest support for a local community garden. \"Get him up the police cars he needs,\" Olsen said when referencing public safety vehicle needs, and later asked council members to consider funding for garden water and maintenance.

Council member Theodore Sanchez moved to approve the consolidated plan and annual action plan; a second was recorded, and the clerk conducted a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously with all present members voting yes.

The approved annual action plan must now be uploaded into HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) for HUD review and final approval. City staff said funding will enter the city's accounts only after HUD completes its review and releases the funds.

The council did not adopt any detail in the public hearing that was not contained in the draft submitted to HUD; staff said organizations not selected for funding were excluded for not meeting eligibility thresholds, program priorities or demonstrating capacity to perform the proposed work.

Looking ahead, the city will incorporate any comments received at the meeting into the final submission to HUD and proceed with HUD's review process. Staff said they remain concerned about potential future reductions to CDBG allocations but are proceeding with current planning assumptions.
