During public comment at the March 19 San Bernardino City Council meeting, current and former public officials, residents, and community advocates raised serious concerns over a controversial $800,000 settlement paid to Steve Carrigan — the city’s onetime top candidate for city manager — calling the payout an illegal gift of public funds.

“This city has a history of illegally giving away public funds to people who are not entitled to them — as was done with the Steve Carrigan case,” said former Councilwoman Kimberly Calvin, who appeared in person at the meeting. “The city gave away $800,000 to Steve Carrigan. With those funds, how many streets could have been repaired? Maybe three or four. Or could those funds have been used to hire a veterinarian?”
Citing State Law: Calvin Questions
By Manny Sandoval
CLegality of Payment
Calvin brought with her a document from the League of California Cities, referencing California Constitution Article XVI, Section 6, which prohibits the gift of public funds. Reading directly from the document at the podium, she stated:
“The Legislature shall have no power to give or to lend, or to authorize the giving or lending, of the credit of the State… nor City Council cont. on next pg.
ity Clerk Genoveva Rocha is set to depart San Bernardino, marking another high-profile exit from City Hall as the city grapples with ongoing leadership instability. Rocha, who has served as city clerk since August 2020, has accepted a position with the City of Vernon in Los Angeles County.
At the March 19 San Bernardino City Council meeting, (BB&K) City Attorney Albert Maldonado confirmed Rocha’s departure and announced that Chief Deputy City Clerk Telicia Lopez will step in as acting city clerk effective April 5, coinciding with Rocha’s final day in office.
“There was a motion from Councilman Shorett and a second by Councilwoman Knaus, and a unanimous vote to appoint Telicia Lopez as acting
city clerk,” Maldonado stated, emphasizing the council’s swift action to fill the vacancy.
Lopez Appointed Acting City Clerk Lopez, a longtime city employee, has worked for San Bernardino since September 2005 and currently serves as Chief Deputy City Clerk. Before assuming her current role, she was the Business Registration Manager, overseeing regulatory processes for local businesses.
In 2023, Lopez earned $100,900 in base pay, with total compensation, including benefits, reaching $166,208. For comparison, Rocha’s salary in 2023 was $141,515, with total compensation of $221,439.
Mayor Helen Tran acknowledged Lopez’s appointment during the meeting, thanking her for stepping up amid chal-

City Council (cont.)
- shall it have power to make any gift or authorize the making of any gift, of any public money or thing of value to any individual, municipal or other corporation whatever.”
She emphasized that the prohibition includes not only monetary funds but “any thing of value,” and said that a city council cannot simply vote amongst itself to give away public funds.
“For three years of my tenure, I was voted by my colleagues to represent us as a voting delegate at the League of California Cities,” Calvin said. “Each sitting councilmember at this moment, the city attorney, city clerk, and many staff members were aware of the falsely authorized and edited report that was done on behalf of Steve Carrigan. Nevertheless, you all voted to pay him $800,000 that he was not entitled to — particularly on the claims which he listed.”
Calvin underscored that Carrigan, the former Salinas city manager, “never worked a day here in the City of San Bernardino.” She called out current councilmembers — including Theodore Sanchez, Fred Shorett, Sandra Ibarra, and Juan Figueroa — for approving the payout despite knowing the report used to justify it was edited and allegedly false.
A Broader Pattern of Misconduct?
Carrigan, who was San Bernardino’s top pick for city manager in 2023, withdrew from the position in late September of that year, choosing to remain in Salinas. Shortly after, on October 3, the Salinas City Council terminated his employment. Carrigan later alleged in a legal claim that San Bernardino officials interfered with his job in Salinas by leaking information about his candidacy.
He formally filed his claim in November 2023, seeking $2.2 million in damages — including lost wages, harm to reputation, and loss of future employment opportunities. Despite never working a day in San Bernardino, the City Council approved an $800,000 settlement during closed session on August 7, 2024, with a 5-1 vote. Councilmember Sandra Ibarra dissented the settlement; Councilwoman Kimberly Calvin was absent.
The complaint claimed that councilmembers leaked Carrigan’s candidacy to Salinas officials, prompting his termination. Though Carrigan wrote in a Sept. 28, 2023, email that he intended to remain in Salinas, he later filed a lawsuit. The city, without admitting wrongdoing, settled. But residents now say the settlement was based on manipulated information — and potentially illegal.
Calls for Accountability and Investigations
Resident John Scholenberger called out the council for refusing to act despite being warned about the credibility of JL Group reports, which were instrumental in discrediting both Carrigan and former Councilwoman Kimberly Calvin.
“It’s now been almost a year since the council released the Suzy Sorenson-manipulated summary investigation report about Carrigan,” Scholenberger said. “Now, according to the

Students at Cal State San Bernardino (CSUSB) protested a six percent tuition hike, approved by the Cal State University (CSU) Board of Trustees, arguing it disproportionately burdens first-generation and students of color.
Following a 2023 approval, tuition is set to increase six percent every year for the next five years across all CSU campuses to address the $1.5 billion deficit.
complaint filed by Rochelle Clayton, we know the council discussed this in June of last year and was told the JL Group reports are not credible.”
Scholenberger said Fred Shorett acknowledged that issue directly in the complaint, telling a city attorney, “That means all the reports are not credible? Kim Calvin’s too?”
He also said that Councilmember Shorett and Sorenson accepted liability, and Councilman Damon Alexander left Carrigan’s confidential recruitment folder publicly exposed — which, Scholenberger said, helped fuel Carrigan’s claim. “You still voted to give away $800,000 to someone who did not deserve our money,” Scholenberger said. “And now we know the truth.”
Community Members Demand Equal Scrutiny Christian Shaughnessy also addressed the council, noting that Councilmember Sanchez once supported censuring Calvin over claims that she put the city at litigation risk.
“Now it appears the city is in legal danger because of [Sanchez’s] actions in regard to former Acting City Manager Rochelle Clayton,” Shaughnessy said. “If we are to be intellectually honest… it would only make sense that you do the exact same thing for yourself.”
Investigator Credibility in Question
Ricky Van Johnson, who was named in a JL Group investigation alleging that Calvin leaked closed-session information, said he remains angry over the process.
“The investigation was maliciously slanted,” Johnson said. “To make matters worse, JL Group investigator Jason Kravetz concluded that I lied. I’m still angry about that.”
Johnson referred to the Clayton complaint, in which attorney Irma Rodriguez said JL Group reports “did not seem credible” and appeared to be written “as if they started with the conclusion and backed into it.”
“That means all of the reports are not credible — including the one used against Councilwoman Calvin,” Johnson said, echoing Shorett’s alleged comments from the Clayton complaint. “Welcome, Mr. Gallardo,” he added, addressing the newly appointed Interim City Manager. “There’s a lot to sort out.”
What Comes Next?
As public scrutiny continues to mount, the legality of the Carrigan payout is under renewed question — especially in light of the California Public Funds Doctrine, which prohibits gifts of public funds to individuals without enforceable claims.
The City of San Bernardino has not publicly responded to the renewed criticism. Carrigan and his attorneys at Executive Law Group have also not issued statements.
Whether the council will revisit or attempt to justify the $800,000 settlement remains unclear. But for many residents, the demand is straightforward: accountability, transparency, and adherence to the law.
However, some students and faculty are skeptical of the budget crisis and have challenged the administration to be more transparent and accountable.
On Tuesday, March 11, Students For Quality Education, a student-led activist group, marched through the rain from the John M. Pfau Library to President Tomas D. Morales’s office to hand-deliver their “Not-So Love Letters for Change,” as they chanted “Tuition hikes have got to go.”
“We're here to see if President Morales

Rocha’s transition was first publicly announced by the recruitment agency Bob Murray & Associates on March 5 via Facebook, but many San Bernardino residents remained unaware until the council meeting. Despite her departure, Rocha is expected to stay through the end of March to facilitate a smooth transition.
Former Councilmember Criticizes Clerk’s Office
At the March 10 council meeting, former Councilmember Kimberly Calvin raised concerns about Rocha’s performance, citing persistent mistakes on city council meeting agendas.
“There have been continuous mistakes on the council’s meeting agendas, and I am asking you to be more mindful,” Calvin said, emphasizing the impact of repeated errors on city governance.
Calvin also alleged that Councilmembers Theodore Sanchez and Fred Shorett met with Rocha and her husband for dinner on Valentine’s Day, implying a private political discussion. “To discuss what?” Calvin asked pointedly during public comment, repeating the question for emphasis. She further suggested she could release photos to substantiate her claims if necessary.
City Hall Faces Wave of Exits Rocha’s departure is the latest in a string of leadership shakeups within San Bernardino’s administration, fueling concerns about governance and accountability.
In February, former Acting City Manager Rochelle Clayton left for the City of Barstow under contentious circumstances.
Clayton, widely expected to be appointed permanently, was reportedly blocked from securing the position by Councilmembers Sanchez and Shorett—adding to perceptions of internal dysfunction and political maneuvering.
is here, because we would like to deliver him multiple letters of concerns on behalf of students and faculty here at CSUSB,” said strategic communications major Miguel Davalos.
Despite President Morales’s absence, an assistant agreed to schedule an appointment for the students to speak with him and deliver their petition letters.
Afterward, IECN spoke with Students For Quality Education about their concerns.
Further complicating the city’s leadership struggles, (BB&K) City Attorney Sonia R. Carvalho faced scrutiny over a November 2023 closed-session agenda mishap, in which she allegedly placed her own performance evaluation on the agenda without proper authorization. The November 20 city council meeting descended into chaos, with heated exchanges, accusations of bias, and interruptions that underscored deep divisions within City Hall.
City Clerk’s Office Under Pressure
As San Bernardino continues navigating governance challenges, the role of the city clerk remains critical in ensuring transparency and accountability.
The City Clerk’s Office is responsible for maintaining official records, facilitating city council meetings, overseeing elections, and processing ordinances and resolutions. Additionally, the city clerk serves as the filing officer for Statements of Economic Interest and Campaign Statements, making the role essential for ethical compliance and municipal governance.
With Rocha’s departure, the city will soon launch another search for a permanent city clerk—just as it is also seeking a new city manager. Rocha was initially appointed in 2020 after a nine-month national search, making the upcoming recruitment process yet another test of San Bernardino’s ability to stabilize its leadership ranks.
Council to Address Leadership Crisis
As Lopez prepares to assume the acting city clerk role, San Bernardino faces mounting pressure to restore public confidence in its government. With key positions in flux and ongoing allegations of governance failures, the coming months will be pivotal in determining the city’s future.
The next San Bernardino City Council meeting is scheduled for April 2, 5 PM, at the Feldheym Library in downtown.
“It's never been more expensive to be a student here, but yet we're reaping none of the benefits of the increased tuition,” said Julian Olmos, a history student.
“This is a four year institution, and only one in four students graduate in four years, and yet the president and the rest of the administration is getting a pay increase, it makes no sense.”
He added that the CSUSB is failing students by reducing class offerings, shortening library hours and cutting Student Services budgets. Full story at IECN.com.

Elderly Redlands Man Threatened and Scammed Out of $25K by Quan Lin, Fake FBI Agent
By Community News
A53-year-old El Monte man was arrested this week on charges of fraud and elder abuse after he scammed a 73-year-old Redlands man out of $25,000 and returned the following day to collect an additional $35,000.
On Monday, March 17, the victim was contacted on the phone by a man claiming to be an FBI agent. The victim was told to provide $25,000 cash to a courier, or he would be arrested for having child pornography on his computer. The victim was instructed to withdraw the money from his bank, place it in an envelope and wait at his residence for the courier to pick up the cash. The victim complied with the instructions and the money was collected.
The next day the victim was again contacted by phone and told the FBI had warrants for his arrest and he needed to provide another $35,000. After the second call, the victim notified
Redlands Police.
RPD detectives and members of the department’s Community Engagement Team worked with the victim and were able to intercept the suspect prior to the transaction.
Quan Lin, 53, of El Monte, was arrested as he arrived at the victim’s residence. He is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail at Central Detention Center in San Bernardino on charges including crimes against an elder or dependent adult; grand theft; and theft by false pretenses.
Lin has been linked to similar scams in other communities. Redlands Police detectives are continuing the investigation. Anyone with information on the suspect, this incident or similar incidents is asked to contact Detective Eric Strobaugh by email at estrobaugh@redlandspolice.org, by phone at (909) 798-7659 or call Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
According to the FBI, millions
of elderly Americans are victims every year of financial fraud. Residents are encouraged to be alert and avoid becoming a victim. Be cautious of unsolicited communications or anyone demanding money, gift cards or other valuables. Law enforcement officers will NEVER demand payment to avoid arrest. If you think you or a family member is a victim of fraud, contact police immediately. More information about elder scams and how to avoid them is available from the FBI at fbi.gov/howwe-can-help-you

San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson Issues Statement
Regarding Jehue Middle School Incident Community News
On March 24, 2025, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges against either child in the incident that occurred on March 10, 2025, at Jehue Middle School.
Confidentiality laws prohibit our Office from discussing details of the matter. An incomplete portion of the incident was captured on video that was released to the public. Upon review of the entire investigation
and facts of the case, our Office declined to file any charges against anyone involved in the incident.
Unfortunately, disinformation that either child had been charged with a crime was inaccurate. In these types of instances, juveniles can only be cited. Only then is the case referred for prosecution.
Although not a factor in our filing decisions, no party involved in the incident or their families desired prosecution. Additionally, filing decisions will never be swayed by protest,
press conferences and media statements that rely upon disinformation, hyperbole and agendas.
This was an anomaly. My expectation is that both children can move on from this and will not be defined by the conduct. I am confident that the school district will continue to take the proper steps to assist these students and ensure measures are in place to avoid similar circumstances in the future.”
-San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson
Op-Ed
Three Steps to Consider this Spring to Help You Live a Healthier Lifestyle
By Dr. John Chang, West Region Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of California
Spring into health this season by refreshing your well-being routine and building healthier habits for the rest of the year. While many Americans make health a primary focus of their New Year’s resolutions, 57% of recent survey respondents said they take up healthier lifestyle choices only after having a medical concern.
As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s a great time to get moving and focus on living a healthier lifestyle. There’s no better time to get started than today.
Here are three steps you may start taking right away:
Choose a primary care provider and access preventive screenings.
A primary care provider can help guide you on your health journey, and studies suggest that access to primary care providers may help people live longer. Yet more than 30% of American adults don’t have a primary care provider.
One important item to check off your health care checklist each year is an annual wellness visit with a primary care provider –even if you feel healthy. A preventive care visit may help you better understand your health and detect any problems early.
If you don’t currently have a primary care provider, check with your health plan for in-network doctors in your area or other options for accessing care like virtual care options. Health plans usually cover preventive care, which means you may pay $0 out of pocket for certain covered preventive services if you go to an in-network provider.
You may also be eligible to earn rewards through your health plan for activities like your annual wellness visit, getting certain preventive screenings or completing a health survey. Some health plans also offer coverage for certain health screenings like those for breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
Check with your health plan to understand your coverage and eligibility and talk to your employer about benefits and wellness programs that may be available to you.
Walk 15 to 30 minutes each day.
Getting outside during the day and enjoying the sunshine may be an important source of Vitamin D, boost your mood and help you sleep better.
Taking regular walks, even for 15 to 30 minutes, may be a simple way to get some sun and fresh air, get your steps in and keep your body moving. In fact, a recent study found that walking more may help extend life expectancy by up to 11 years. Ideally, adults should aim each week for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity like a brisk walk, or 75 minutes of vigorousintensity activity like jogging or running.
Some employers now offer wellness programs as part of the health benefits available to their employees. Some employersponsored health plans offer eligible members access to programs that allow employees to earn financial incentives for meeting certain health goals like walking 5,000 steps a day, tracking 14 days of sleep or completing a health survey.
Track and improve your sleep.
Many people struggle with their sleeping habits, with more than one-third of adults in the U.S. reporting regularly not getting enough sleep. Experts recommend adults get 7 or more hours of sleep a night. Maintaining healthy sleeping habits may be beneficial for both your physical and mental well-being, from helping to reduce stress and improve your mood to lowering risk for some chronic conditions.
To help improve your sleep, consider avoiding alcohol, caffeine and too much screen time before going to bed, and try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
Adding these tips into your daily routine may be a great way to boost your overall health and well-being this spring.

Crafton Hills College Girls Empowerment Camp Inspires Future Firefighters
Community News
Crafton Hills College (CHC) Fire Academy Cadre Captain Theresa Rivera, in partnership with local community organizations, led a Girls Empowerment Camp that saw the participation of 22 young women. The event, supported by multiple fire agencies and community partners, was designed to provide hands-on experience with fire service tools and skills.
Notable departments such as Calimesa Fire, Cal Fire/Yucaipa Fire, Redlands Fire, San Bernardino County Fire, AMR Redlands Division, Rialto Fire, Redline Rentals, and members of the local EMS and fire cadre contributed to the camp's success. Female firefighters played a critical role, serving as mentors and inspirations for the participants.
CHC Interim Associate Dean of Public Safety and EMT and Paramedic Program Director Amanda Ward emphasized the camp's impact, stating, "There was this overwhelming sense of ‘I really can do this’ from the girls, which was exactly the mission of the day. That message was reinforced by the women currently working in the field who came out to show what’s possible. The participating firefighters truly excelled in demonstrating that spirit."
Participants engaged in activities such as rappelling, operating chainsaws, using nail guns, climbing aerial ladders, and practicing searchand-rescue techniques in smoke-filled environments. The event fostered an atmosphere of encouragement and self-determination, showcasing that women can excel in the fire service.
"The energy was so wonderful," continued Ward. "I could see a spark not only in the eyes of the attendees but also in the firefighters who came to support it. One firefighter shared how the energy and attitudes the girls came with were so impressive and how clear it was that they can be valued members of this workforce."
A participant reflected on her experience, saying, "I started this out nervous and pretty scared, but once I realized my team was truly there to support me, as well as the other instructors/firefighters, I felt a new confidence to push through my struggles and second thoughts and trust that with time, effort, and passion, I can achieve my goals in the fire industry. This camp changed my perspective so positively!”
Due to its overwhelming success, the Girls Empowerment Camp will now be an annual event held during Women’s History Month, as part of CHC’s outreach master plan.
