Colton Gentlemen's Club Closed for Good: Amended Agreement Finalized, Mini-Mart Replacement Canceled, Digital Billboard Contingent

By Manny Sandoval

After years of legal and regulatory challenges, the City of Colton has reached a significant milestone regarding the property at 2680 S. La Cadena Drive. An amended agreement, which includes the permanent closure of 215 Gentlemen's Club (215 GC), the cancellation of a proposed mini-mart replacement, and the conditional construction of a digital billboard, was finalized and approved by the City Council.

Colton Development Services Director Heidi Duron provided background on the long-standing issue. "The subject property, located at the northwest corner of Interstate 215 and Iowa Avenue, has been an adult nightclub for many years. The 1998 consent decree required the owner to transition the use by January 31, 2009. However, the City revised its adult business regulations in 2016 and pursued enforcement in 2018, leading to the current agreement."

The original agreement, known as the "Public Benefit,

KVCR Public Media

KVCR Public Media works to engage with and support our local community’s endeavors.

KVCR-TV the local PBS station serving the Inland Empire is spearheading a youth media project, “Teen Weeks of Film” providing an opportunity for high school students from our region to share their voices on a variety of topics.

Ten high school students selected from Summit, Upland, Chaffey and San Bernardino Middle College have worked under the guidance of KVCR staff member Briana Navarro.

Students were given the direction to produce a short documentary on various topics and lend their voice to create awareness on social issues that affect our youth today. Topics include mental health, exploring Mariachi, the influence coaches have on students, conflicts in the middle east, the influence social media has and life of photographers.

“This has been such a reward-

Digital Billboard and Expired Land Use Settlement Agreement," required the owner to convert 215 GC into a service station and mini-mart, remove the existing pole sign, and construct a digital billboard. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this timeline, leading to significant delays.

"Although the agreement contained specific timelines, the pandemic caused supply chain issues that hindered compliance," said Duron. "As the situation eased, the Council directed staff and the City Attorney to amend the agreement, moving up the closure of the adult nightclub, which has been verified closed since at least May 2024."

The newly approved amendments include key changes: The owner is given two years to evaluate billboard market conditions before construction. Rights to the billboard construction can now be transferred to a third party, not just family members.

ing project. Being able to share with the students the experiences and challenges I faced while attending the IMA film program at San Bernardino Valley College and now passing on what I learned had been great. And seeing the positive impact it’s had on the students has been a wonderful experience for me” said Navarro.

Navarro meets with the students weekly and shares some of the fundamentals needed to produce a story, including storyboarding, understanding what story they want to tell, how to present and shape it, and learning camera functions, lighting and editing skills.

Leonard Sanchez, English teacher at Chaffey High School and the MEChA Club advisor, shared the opportunity this project has presented to his students. “Every Wednesday I drive the students to the program and its great to hear them talk about their project and listen to them collaborate. And even though school is out their enthusiasm has not waned. It’s a testament to their dedication.”

The mini-mart/service station requirement is removed.

A revised timeline grants 24 months for evaluating market conditions and constructing the digital billboard.

Additionally, the city will benefit from an annual mitigation fee reflecting the gross revenue generated by the digital billboard.

Councilmember Dr. G raised concerns during the meeting, confirming the closure, "You mentioned the adult club has been closed. Has this been verified?" Duron confirmed, "Yes, it has been verified by the city staff."

Dr. G also inquired about the current plans for the property. "There are applications on file, and if they want to pursue something different, they would need to file a modification or new applica-

The Council voted unanimously to approve the amended agreement, allowing the digital billboard project to proceed independently of other developments. This decision marks the end of a prolonged effort to resolve the property's use, dating back to 2009.

Despite the closure, 215 GC’s Google reviews remain, with a 3.4-star rating. A recent review from October 2023 stated, "It costs $20 to enter, plus there is a one drink minimum purchase. Water was $6, a lap dance was $40. The lap dance was supposed to be three songs but it was more like one minute and then they expected you to tip while being a brat. Enter at your own risk."

With the new amendments in place, Colton looks forward to the next steps in redeveloping the site and optimizing the digital billboard to meet community standards.

Parents, teacher, staff and the public are invited to attend. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP at brnavarro@kvcr.org.

All short documentaries will air on KVCR-TV in the coming months. “Teen Weeks of Film” is a grant funded project provided by the California Endowment.

Electric Buildings Could Save Inland Empire Billions: 62% of Californians Back SB 1221 for Affordable Neighborhood Clean Energy Upgrades

By Manny Sandoval

Agroundbreaking

analysis released last week by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Energy + Environmental Economics (E3) reveals that strategic electrification projects in California, including the Inland Empire, could save gas utility customers $20 billion by 2045.

The report emphasizes that replacing aging gas pipelines with electrification programs could cut annual utility costs significantly, benefiting Inland Empire residents.

The California Energy Commission warns that without intervention, gas bills could soar to $600 per month by 2050 due to the steep costs of maintaining outdated gas infrastructure. The NRDC and E3 report estimates that California gas utilities plan to replace 8,900 miles of gas distribution lines by 2045 at a staggering cost of $43 billion.

Instead, the report suggests a geographically-targeted electrification initiative that would power entire neighborhoods with clean energy, offering households zero-emission appliances like heat pumps. This approach is projected to cost half as much as gas pipeline investments, saving customers money while enhancing air quality, climate resilience, and community affordability.

Switching from gas would also cut climate emissions and protect public health. The building sector in California, generates about 25% of the state’s greenhouse gasses, equivalent to emissions from nearly 10 million vehicles. Gas-burning appliances in homes emit four times more nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution than the state’s gas power plants, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular issues, lower birth weight in newborns, and increased hospital visits.

Despite these findings, California continues investing heavily in new gas infrastructure, undermining its net-zero emissions goal by 2045. The state is the second-largest consumer of natural gas in the country, even though demand is declining. Gas infrastructure projects can take decades to complete, and

pipelines can last up to 80 years, locking utility customers into costly, outdated systems. Notably, California has some of the oldest gas infrastructure in the nation, meaning decisions made today will have long-lasting impacts on the climate and clean energy future.

However, the state is pursuing solutions that could benefit both the climate and ratepayers. Senate Bill 1221 (Min) is moving through the state legislature and would enable regulators and utilities to launch targeted electrification pilot projects. These projects aim to reduce costs and emissions by shifting to clean energy infrastructure. Similar initiatives are being explored in Colorado, Illinois, and New York.

“It’s time to make smarter decisions around energy infrastructure and invest in a way that makes energy more affordable for Californians while also driving progress towards our 2045 zero carbon goals,” said bill author Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine). “SB 1221 paves the way for this transition by showing how we can move away from fossil fuels in heating and cooling our homes, driving down utility costs for consumers, and building climate resilience."

A new poll by FM3 for the Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC) shows that 62% of California voters support upgrading their neighborhoods to run on 100% clean electricity. Affordability is a key issue, with more than three in five respondents concerned about the high costs of maintaining or replacing aging gas pipelines.

With SB 1221, Inland Empire residents could experience neighborhood-scale decarbonization, long-term energy affordability, and healthier communities powered by renewable energy. This legislative move represents a critical opportunity for the region to lead in sustainable, cost-effective energy solutions.

Inland Empire Amazon Workers Prompt

Investigation, Leading to nearly $6 million in Citations at two Amazon Warehouses

Comunity News

Amazon.com Services LLC was cited twice for $5.9 million for violating California’s Warehouse Worker Protection Act, or AB 701, at two large facilities in Southern California’s Inland Empire.

The California Labor Commissioner’s Office issued the citations after finding that at the two facilities, Amazon did not provide employees with a written description of any work quotas they are expected to meet. AB 701, sponsored by former Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021 and went into effect in 2022.

“Amazon management really makes people stress about rate,” said Carrie Stone, who works at Amazon’s ONT8 facility in Moreno Valley. “If you don’t scan enough items you will get written up. This happened to me. I got written up for not making rate. They said I missed by one point, but I didn’t even know what the target was.”

The citations cover thousands of workers at two Amazon warehouses in the Inland Empire, ONT9 in Redlands and ONT8 in Moreno Valley. The citations include penalties of over $1.2 million at ONT9 and nearly $4.7 million at ONT8.

“Amazon’s push for speed leads to high rates of injuries,” said Mindy Acevedo, staff attorney with the Warehouse Worker Resource Center. “AB 701 provides important protections against dangerous work speeds and unfair quota practices, but these citations show Amazon failed to follow fundamental parts of the law. Courageous workers sounded the alarm about these violations and the Labor Commissioner took prompt action. We heard from workers that not only were they required to work at an unsafe pace, there was little transparency around work expectations and they could lose their jobs if they failed to meet these undisclosed quotas. Amazon workers are entitled to what AB 701 promises – fairness and transparency around quota expectations and a safe pace of work.”

The Amazon citations are among the first citations in California for AB 701 violations issued by the Labor Commissioner’s Office. Since September 2023, the LCO has issued citations totaling $7.8 million to five entities, including Amazon, for failing to provide written quota descriptions to their workers.

Following AB 701’s passage in California, similar legislation has since been enacted in Minnesota, New York, Oregon and Washington. In May, Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass) introduced a federal version of the Warehouse Worker Protection Act in Congress.

Workplace Safety Crisis at Amazon

Warehouse workers at Amazon experience injuries at alarming rates. Amazon’s own injury data reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) show an injury rate 75% higher than the average rate across non-Amazon warehouses and a serious injury rate more than twice as high as the rate for nonAmazon warehouses, according to an analysis of 2023 data by the Strategic Organizing Center. A recent study from the University of Illinois-Chicago suggests that actual injury rates may in fact be far higher, finding that nearly half of Amazon workers report being injured on the job.

According to a May 2024 report from the National Employment Law Project, “Injuries at Amazon warehouses are much more likely to be serious enough to require time off work or job transfer than at other comparable warehouse employers (with at least 10 facilities that employ 1,000 or more workers).”

Amazon Faces Multiple Citations Related to Worker Safety

Nine separate federal and state level OSHA investigations in the last three years have found that the high level of injury risk in Amazon’s operations violated the law. In 2023, federal OSHA opened new investigations

Fatal Rialto Traffic Collision on West Valley Boulevard

52 Arrested, 23 Cited at City of SB DUI Checkpoint

Community News

Two drivers were arrested for Driving Under the Influence and 23 citations were issued at a DUI Checkpoint on June 7, 2024.

The DUI checkpoint was held at the 600 block of S. Waterman, from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Also, 47 drivers were arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license; 706 vehicles were contacted during the checkpoint and 24 vehicles were impounded.

Two drivers were arrested for active arrest warrants.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on reported incidents of impaired driving-re-

lated collisions.

The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off roads.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

of ergonomic hazards and later issued violations at three additional warehouses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. OSHA also issued new violations for Amazon’s failure to keep accurate injury records at five warehouses in New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Missouri.

Washington State OSHA (WISHA), has conducted five previous investigations of Amazon warehouses showing 16 violations, and in August 2023 the state agency issued four additional “willful” violations for ergonomic hazards.

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Amazon underreported injury data to its own workers, and made false representations about this data to lenders.

What are the details of the Warehouse Worker Protection Act (AB 701)?

Under AB 701 (enacted as California Labor Code 2100 et seq), a quota is simply the number of tasks you are required to complete in a certain time period. The law covers those who work in a warehouse with 100 or more employees or is operated by a company with 1,000 or more total warehouse employees in California.

AB 701 promotes fairness and transparency in the workplace – requiring employers to provide employees a written description of every quota they are expected to meet. It also gives workers the right to request their personal work speed data if they feel their rights under AB 701 have been violated, and the law prohibits employers from taking any adverse action against an employee for failing to meet a quota for which the employee was not provided a written description.

Additionally, AB 701 prohibits employers from enforcing quotas that interfere with workplace safety regulations or employees’ ability to use the restroom or take their full meal and rest breaks.

Smash & Grab Armed Robber, ThreeStike Felon Sentenced to 50 – Life

Community News

On October 15, 2022

Christopher Lamar (30), and an accomplice, entered a local Rancho Cucamonga jewelry store armed with a handgun, yelling “this is an attack” then ran up to the owner and pistol-whipped her with the handgun. He smashed the jewelry display cases and demanded cash. Lamar then proceeded to steal approx. $20,000.00 worth of jewelry and the owners iphone.

During the attack, Lamar wore a security guard jacket, and his accomplice wore an Amazon vest. Both also sported masks and gloves.

Good Samaritans in the store and the shopping center were able to provide a make, model and license plate of the getaway vehicle to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s detectives. The jewelry store and neighboring stores provided video surveillance footage of the suspect vehicle to assist in the investigation.

Hours after the robbery, using location tracking, the store owner’s cellphone was recovered near some train tracks, and the suspect vehicle was located abandoned and towed. A rapid and thorough investigation iden-

tified Christopher Lamar as the main suspect. At the time, Christopher Lamar had an outstanding felony warrant for burglary.

On Oct. 19th 2022, San Bernardino County Sheriff Dept. Specialized Enforcement Division (S.E.D) with assistance from San Bernardino Police Department apprehended Lamar after a short foot pursuit through Inland Center Mall in San Bernardino. At the time Lamar was taken into custody, he was in possession of an un-serialized semi-automatic firearm.

During trial, prosecutors introduced witness statements and surveillance footage showing Lamar using the same gun in the Rancho Cucamonga jewelry store robbery that was in his backpack at the time of his arrest.

A jury convicted Lamar of two counts of armed robbery, three counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and two counts of felon in possession of a firearm. Lamar had two previous convictions of residential burglary in San Bernardino County making him a three-strike felon.

Down Barriers with Listening Sessions: Medi-Cal Members Want Respect & Culturally Competent Providers

By Manny Sandoval

As California grapples with persistent healthcare inequities, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has embarked on a transformative journey to create a more equitable and inclusive Medi-Cal system. This initiative aims to address the systemic disparities that have long plagued the state's healthcare landscape, particularly among communities of color and underserved populations.

"Who you are and where you live should not determine how you live," said Dr. Pamela Riley, Chief Health Equity Officer at DHCS. "Too often, people in communities of color face larger health disparities and are more likely to distrust healthcare providers. These experiences reflect deep-seated racism and structural inequities within our healthcare system."

Expanding Access and Services

In a landmark move, California expanded Medi-Cal earlier this year to cover all residents, regardless of immigration status or income level.

This bold step towards universal healthcare coverage is part of a broader effort to dismantle barriers to care and ensure that all Californians have access to the services they need.

"Health equity goes beyond access," Dr. Riley emphasized. "We are committed to providing culturally competent and accessible healthcare. This includes expanding services beyond the doctor's office to address physical and mental health needs as well as social support, such as home modifications, healthy meals, and transportation to medical ap-

pointments." Additionally, DHCS has made significant strides in enhancing service accessibility. The department's online services are now available in multiple languages, including Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese, Farsi, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Mien, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. This expansion ensures that more Californians can access information and services in their preferred language.

"Language interpretation services are critical," Dr. Riley explained. "By making our services available in multiple languages, we are breaking down one of the key barriers to accessing care."

Listening to the Community Central to DHCS's strategy is the Health Equity Roadmap initiative, a phased, multi-year process designed to create a more person-centered Medi-Cal system.

The initiative's first phase, a statewide listening tour, began in September 2023 and concluded in March 2024. During this tour, DHCS officials engaged directly with Medi-Cal members, particularly those from Black and Indigenous communities, to hear about their healthcare experiences and needs.

Choice in Aging and The Bedford Center were among the many partnered organizations that facilitated these listening sessions. "We hosted 11 listening sessions, both in person and virtually, with hundreds of participants," said Debbie Toth, CEO of Choice in Aging. "The feedback was invaluable. Members want to feel respected and heard, and they

need language accessibility and culturally relatable healthcare providers."

Co-Design and Implementation

The insights gathered from these sessions are now informing the second phase of the initiative: co-designing solutions with members and stakeholders. This phase aims to identify common themes and develop actionable steps to improve Medi-Cal services.

"The biggest challenge during the listening sessions was engaging populations with cognitive impairments," Toth noted. "We had to find innovative ways to facilitate these conversations, often involving caregivers to ensure all voices were heard."

Tangible Steps Ahead

According to Dr. Riley, the Health Equity Roadmap is structured into three key phases:

Phase 1: Listening Tour

Began in September 2023 and concluded in March 2024.

Engaged directly with Medi-Cal members across the state.

Phase 2: Co-Design

Using feedback to identify common themes and solutions.

Collaboration with experts, advocates, providers, members, and stakeholders.

Phase 3: Health Equity Roadmap

Developing a comprehensive plan with actionable steps.

Ongoing process with continued feedback and engagement.

"We're committed to making sure that the benefits we offer meet the diverse needs of our members," said Michael Whalen, Program Director at The Bedford Center. "Our clients repeatedly express the importance of having a place to go during the day where they can feel seen, recognized, and supported. Building strong relationships with caregivers and physicians is crucial for advocating for our clients' needs."

A

Call for Collaboration

The Health Equity Roadmap is part of California's broader strategy to create a more equitable healthcare system. This includes initiatives like the CalAIM waiver, which aims to transform MediCal into a more coordinated, person-centered, and equitable program.

Governor Newsom's administration has also taken steps such as eliminating the asset test for Medi-Cal eligibility and establishing a $700 million primary care provider practice transformation program.

"We need everyone's input to make Medi-Cal more equitable and accessible," Dr. Riley urged. "If you have ideas or feedback, please share them with us at healthequityroadmap@dhcs.ca.gov."

As DHCS continues to implement these changes, the department remains committed to its mission of ensuring that all Californians have a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest levels of health. The road ahead is long, but with continued collaboration and dedication, California is poised to set a new standard for equitable healthcare.
