Ok everyone we have recived the phone calls from both sides and with an issue like this in these economic times it can be hard to decifer the honesty and mistruths in both messages.
On one hand you have SOS Save our Water with a petition drive to undo the decision by the City Council and Mayor to sell off our water and waste water systems to American Water. The only Council Member to vote against this twice was Joe Baca Jr. who is running for Assembly.
I spoke to somone down at the city and this is the best I can decifer from both messages.
SOS Save Our Water (AKA AFL-CIO) – The union that represents the water workers dosen’t like this deal. So what they are doing is they have begun over the last couple weeks began circulating a petition to put on the ballot for the voters to decide on wheather they want American Water to actually take ownership of our systems. It does not effect water rates increasing, it just reverses councils decision. In my opinion this is a bad deal with the wrong company. Its just a last ditch effort to sell or water off for 30 YEARS for a small one time payment of 30 million dollers.
City of Rialto, Edward J Carrillo, Scott Beard, Midge Zupanic, Mayor Grace Vargas, Bill Perez & Randall Lewis – This group has Robo Called, wrote in the voice of the people and mailed out letters. They want you to believe that without American Water no upgrades will ever be done and the city will crumble around itself. Ok maybe the city falling apart was my adding of dramatics but not without a little help from the city goverment. There are other companies out there with better deals for residents, its the 30 million doller pay back that has council salivating. They keep calling the 30 million dollers Redevelopment money, they had better be careful lest the state takes ownership of that money as well. If all else fails let the current employees do their job and slowly upgrade our systems. What your telling us is the people the city employed to do the job can’t meaning you don’t know how to hire the right people. Also I really dont understand how a private company can get better deals on materials and supplies but a City can’t. Cities have resources like legislators, County Supervisors and others that can help them get those great prices on supplies. Hey if Lewis Comercial Properties want to build here so bad why can’t they or Ron Pharris help the city barter for reasonable prices. With the right protection and projects Rialto is a reat place to bring your business because so many of us shop well outside our community for entertainment and day to day needs.
City office said if you don’t like the American Water Deal feel free to sign the Petition, But if you want to battle the water rates only then you must mail or walk in a letter of protest with the following information.
Name, Adress or APN & Signature. These three things must be on your letter I am signing the petition and sending out a letter and I suggest that the rest of the city does the same.
If you want to sign a petition you can go to:
379 W Valley Blvd
Rialto Ca 92376
Or if you have peitions that need to be turned in also go to the Valley Location.
If you dont want to leave your home feel free to respond to this post or email rialtonw@aol.com with your address and we will come to you with a petition to sign. Or you can go to Fresh And Easy above the 210, Walmart on Riverside or call petition cordinator Mark (615) 419-2932.

Who Really owns Rialto?????
Below is a letter from the San Bernardino Sun Newspaper from realeste developer Randall Lewis. In it he makes it sound like what the city council did by voting to outsource our water department was a good thing. What it really boils down to is a group of lobbies that are getting well fed while the rate payer suffer for the next 30 yrs. What people like Midge Zupanic, Max & Pualine Tiddler, the Mayor and all of council don’t seem to understand is we can swallow the idea that rates may need to be adjusted, and that the repairs that THEY have failed to implement over the years need to be done. But what we don’t need to do is:
- Promise American Water or any other company a 30 year contract that runs like a mortgage, meaning if we get a few years into this and find out they couldn’t deliver on their promises we are on the hook to re-pay 130 million early termination charge that reduces by 4 million for every year until the end of 30 years.
- Promise American Water or any other company 30% profit every year for 30 years.
- Use the 30 million dollar pay off to line the pockets of developers like Ron Pharris or Randall Lewis.
- To pander to one union while stabbing another in the back.
The reason you have petitions in circulation right now is the AFL-CIO/TEAMSTERS will lose the shop because it will no longer be a union shop, the current employees are only guaranteed their jobs for a year and a half after that there is no promises of jobs. So while they are singing the praises of creating jobs in the industry of construction of the water system upgrades, they are signing the pink slips for every water and waste water employee & their families. Our Mayor and city council sold their own people down the river for the promise of a Target Shopping Center, a Super Walmart (which is still in litigation), a Lowes and then maybe we will finish the In and Out Project. Most of this money (30 million Dollar pay off) will be given to Randall Lewis for his “Target” Shopping Center. Our water employees family’s will suffer because of this councils actions and the prior ones inactions.
- Fail to give the community the ability to decide. People have to force the city to seek out what the public thinks and wants to do.
Most of the proponents of this Sale are Elderly meaning they Qualify for the 20% discount for low-income and senior citizens. Also meaning that they wont be alive to see the end of this bad deal. Yet we will all suffer their ill-informed, illegal decision.
So when you get recorded calls from the city telling you not to sign the petition and allow democracy to decide this very important decision, or the city manager mayor and sell Rialto down the river lobby (Randall Lewis and Ron Pharris) write letters to the sun stating how great this is and that we should be proud of this council and mayor. Listen to what their not saying. If you see them tell them what you think and ask them why we didn’t hear any of the other proposals from local companies working with local water and waste water systems. Ask them if they will repeal the brown lawn ordnance since we will no longer be able to afford to water our lawns. Ask them if they even CARE.
Rialto invests in itself

A city’s economic vitality is based in large part on its ability to create jobs and it’s commendable to see that the leaders of Rialto understand that necessity. The city has faced difficult choices and will face more in the months ahead as it positions itself for an economic recovery that will favor those communities with the infrastructure to compete for new businesses.We understand that growth requires investment, and appreciate what Rialto has done in that regard. Recently, the City Council took the difficult step of raising water rates, with the very specific intention of reinvesting in the community to help make Rialto more competitive.
However, it doesn’t end there. With the loss of redevelopment agencies, cities need to be more resourceful and visionary than ever. They need to address challenges head on and turn them into opportunities.
By taking bold steps, Rialto is fulfilling its promise of a “2nd Century of Progress.” That bodes well for the city’s economy and its ability to provide residents with the essential services they’ve come to expect.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — A pregnant San Bernardino woman is asking for the public’s help to catch a repeat burglar.
Danielle Helmick believes the man has broken into her home four times in the last four months.
She was able to catch the suspect on camera after setting up a surveillance system in her home.
Helmick has filed a police report, but she hopes someone might recognize the suspect and help put him behind bars.

Now they wont show this on the news but they will put it on their website.
This is a shinning example of how San Bernardino PD operates. They only respond to the many shootings in their city. They don’t know their city, they don’t respond to calls in a timely fashion. I have been near assaulted twice in their city and in one circumstance I actually had the suspects place of business and license plate and the dispatcher told me if they were gone then it wasn’t a big deal anymore. The Mayor doesnt care he is to busy fighting like a big child with the other big children in city government there.
I don’t let my family go there even with me and I advise my extended family to shop and do commerce elsewhere because safety just isn’t there.

Also all of these board memebers have been given a list of interview questions for the Rialto Now blog and none have returned them its almost been a year. They don’t like to be questioned, and the funny part it was a softball interview nothing to telling of them. Only memeber Edgar Montes and member Martinez have even said they would complete them.

As I watched the April 11 Rialto school board meeting, I wasn’t surprised to see the board vote 4-1 (board member Montes voting no) to approve payment for board member Joanne Gilbert, who missed the March 28 board meeting where the board voted to issue pink slips to the classified workers.
Gilbert is not the first board member to be paid even though they didn’t attend the board meeting; board member Michael Ridgway last year was paid for two board meetings he didn’t attend.
This board also approved the superintendent’s contract where he is earning roughly $300,000 a year, including benefits, retirement and car allowance.
This board also approved for 32 staff members to attend a leadership training costing the district more than $65,000.
This board also has set policy that each board member has three minutes to give their board report, all because board member Montes is asking questions.
This board also requires anyone who wants to speak during public comment to submit a card no later than 6:45 p.m. before the meetings and it has to be filled out (name, address, etc.), which violates the Brown Act.
This board also seems not to understand the purpose of the Brown Act and would prefer that board member Montes ask all questions behind closed doors.
Residents of the Rialto school district, three board members are up for re-election. Let’s make better choices.

Representatives from over 100 local community assistance organizations will be present to provide free resources, referrals and information What is CAP?
The City of Fontana, in partnership with Water of Life Community Church, offers Fontana residents no-cost or low-cost community services through the Community Assistance Program (CAP).
CAP provides area residents with the ability to readily access resources and community services; which enrich the lives of families and individuals, enabling them to lead more productive lives.
Fontana’s CAP program brings together community assistance organizations, local churches and schools to create a network designed to solve problems and assist people in need.
Visitors to our website can obtain information on resources available through the CAP Resource Directory. The directory can be used to look up a specific need or the entire directory can be downloaded and printed. Visitors can also access the Calendar Page to view all upcoming events.
In addition to offering referral services to people in need, the Community Assistance Program is also proven to be extremely effective in helping existing organizations network and share resources. Each month CAP hosts a networking meeting of area service providers. Monthly CAP meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at Water of Life Community Church, 7623 East Avenue in the city of Fontana. During each meeting, service providers share resources and ideas with the ultimate goal of providing assistance to citizens in need. It’s a great way for non-profits, schools, churches, and government personnel to get acquainted and network.

Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, Phase I from Maple to Cactus Avenue (“Rialto Trail”) Project
The “Rails to Trails” project is in the final stage of the design. Public Works staff is reviewing the final design Plans and Specifications. It’s anticipated that the project will go out to bid for construction in the coming months. The City has received a Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3, Grant in the amount of $330,000 from SANBAG. Staff is working to obtain a Traffic Enhancement (TE) Grant in the amount of $600,000 also from SANBAG for this project. The project includes construction of an eleven (11) foot-wide concrete trail along with landscape, lighting and traffic signals between Maple Avenue and Cactus Avenue.
This project is Rialto’s response to the AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL and calm walking trail Rancho Cucamonga has that extends from the 15 freeway to the far west cities like Claremont.
59 Crimes in the first 4 months of 2012 in the area.
As the Picture above shows on www.CrimeMapping.com in the last 4 months this area where the trail is that connects to the East side of Fontana has experienced 59 documented crimes. I use this trail when I have time and I feel comfortable knowing that my wife and daughter use it as well when they want to get out.
Now Rialto wants to have their own trail that connects to the Fontana one, meaning you would be able to walk or ride from Rialto to well beyond Rancho Cucamonga. Nice right? No not really because they chose a bad area to put it in and last time I spoke about this before the Dias at council meeting everyone in the meeting thought this was a safe area surrounded by Single Family homes. I guess former Chief Mark Kling (who was the police dept rep at that meeting) was unaware of the nickname for the area where phase 1 is to begin. Its Called THE WOODS. It’s a reference to the street names inside this area and the mixture of low-income condos a massive apt complex and some single family homes scattered about.
161 Crimes in the first 4 months
In this picture above you will see crime in the Phase 1 area for the walking trail is 4 times what it is in Rancho. The city of Rancho Cucamonga makes sure that it has the appropriate amount of resources to keep crime off the trail and deal with surrounding areas. Rancho has police on, off-road vehicles, bike & volunteers in units going up and down the trail giving bad guys the signal that these people are not easy marks & walkers the ability to feel safe while excersing. Rancho has something Rialto doesn’t money because of the creative development they have created there. Yes Rialto has a bike team of officers but it’s always getting shut down to put officers on patrol. Don’t get me wrong I love our police officers and they do the best job they can with the resources provided, but Rialto is a much ruffer city than Rancho and until the City Leadership takes this issue head on nothing will really change.
Now before Councilman and Bar owner (O’Learys) jumps down my throat because he doesn’t like to be questioned let me state the following:
Yes I understand that this is grant money that can’t be spent on anything else. With that said just because we can get the money that doesn’t mean build it no matter if we can keep it safe.
Yes we need nice things for people who live here and are looking to live here to do. But if you are building it you need to make sure that extra money is there to make it safe. If it’s not dedicating police officers have CSO’s or its hiring a private security firm to patrol in uniform and can act as a deterrent. Because leaving people at the mercy of criminals looking to take advantage of people as well as the overburdened dispatch board is simply unacceptable.
At the last Council meeting Joe Baca Jr stated that he thinks that we need more parks and amenities for residents to enjoy, he used bud bender park as an example. An old poorly lit park in disrepair and I agree this park is in bad shape, but I also look at the crime in the area and the amount of tagging that is left on walls and gangs that are left residing there. This park has parking lots that are set in the back and hard to see from street and our police don’t have time like they would like to drive into every park. Plus volunteers can only look and see they don’t make contact.
In conclusion we found out at the council meeting on April 24th that this city has been ignoring the plight of our Rialto Girls Softball. Fallen down light poles and poorly manicured fields leave the girls in a un-safe state of affairs with the city offering little to no solutions.

I have lived in Rialto since 1969 and during that time the leadership in this community has done little or nothing to attract quality businesses.
There is no Target, Office Max, Best Buy, etc. I am amazed when I venture to north Fontana and see the businesses in the Summit Center. How did Fontana succeed when all we get from the Rialto mayor and her cronies are empty promises of a Target and an In-N-Out? One of the promises was if they built a new fire station that the land left vacant would be used to build an In-N-Out.
I am still waiting to order my double-double.
Other than Carrows and Corky’s, there is not even a good sit-down family restaurant north of Base Line. There are discount 99-cent stores and fast-food places.
What did the leadership of this community do with the money that they already had? They are bemoaning the fact that they will lose redevelopment money but what happened to the funds prior to this?
Since they squandered the funds in the past I will not support a raise in water and sewer rates and I encourage others to oppose the increase as well.
