Councilman Nickel: Residents ‘have been heard’ on ar ts and culture concer ns

By Anthony Victoria

an Bernardino officials confirmed they intend to continue moving forward with an amendment to a city municipal code that intends to convert a commercial construction fee into a tax for general use. However, concerns and criticisms from city fine art commissioners convinced at least one councilmember to consider allocating thousands of city dollars to support the arts.

“I don’t necessarily disagree with staff recommendations,” said Councilman Henry Nickel. “But I do want to thank the public for their comments...you have been heard. I do agree that we do have to maintain an arts program for our city.” Changes to the Cultural Development Construction fee, the ordinance located within Municipal Code 650 that imposes an excise tax on development, came after a review from the City Attorney’s office. Deputy City Attorney Steven Graham explained amendments made nearly 30 years ago to the ordinance do

Avila Elected Vice Chair of Omnitrans Board

ucaipa City Council Member David Avila was elected Vice Chair of the Omnitrans Board of Directors at the transit agency’s December 6 meeting. He fills a vacancy created when Redlands Council Pat Gilbreath passed away in October. Avila’s term as Vice Chair will run through June 2019. Traditionally, the Vice Chair subsequently assumes the Board Chair position for a two-year term. The Omnitrans Board consists of elected officials representing each of the 15 cities Omnitrans serves and four San Bernardino County Supervisors. The current Chair is Loma Linda Council Member Ron Dailey. “There are too many cars on the road. We need to make public transit a more viable alternative,” said Avila. "I look forward to working with Omnitrans to help implement faster and more streamlined services to attract new riders.” Avila joined the Omnitrans Board in January 2017, and has served on the Board’s Administrative & Finance Committee. He also represents Yucaipa on the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Board of Directors. A 30-year resident of Yucaipa, Avila has served on the City Council since 2014. He had a 32year career with Cal Fire (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection) before retiring as a battalion chief. He received his Associate of Science degree from Crafton Hills College and earned a BA at California State University, Fullerton. Avila said he used public transit often while a student at CSUF.

The City of San Bernardino was once again struck with tragedy on April 10, 2017 when North Park Elementary School Special Education teacher Karen Smith, 52, was gunned down by her estranged husband Cedric Anderson, 53. Two students were also hit with gunfire; Nolan Brady was critically injured and another, 8year-old Jonathan Martinez, died from his wounds. In the photo is San Bernardino City Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Dale Marsden, grief stricken at a vigil held for the North Park Elementary School shooting victims.

San Bernardino residents were outraged when officials wrote President Trump, asking for federal assistance to combat crime and drug use. The City Council would later rescind their letter. Seen here is Andrew Crampton, left, engaging with a resident at the conclusion of the ‘Evening With the Mayor’ meeting at the Faith Bible Church on Feb. 28, 2017. Seen on the right is San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis’ Chief of Staff Chris Lopez.

San Bernardino celebrated the opening of a new park this year. The recreational center was named after San Bernardino Police Officer Bryce Hanes, who was killed by a drunk driver while on patrol in 2015, and Jon Cole, who died after trying to save his stepfather and mother from a fallen electrical line in 2011. Seen in photo is Cole’s father Keith, who is standing next to Hanes’ brother, Scott, during the May 13 grand opening of the new park.

Above: The Trump Administration announced on September 5, 2017 the rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which authorizes immigrant youth that entered the country illegally to work and attend school in the U.S. Hundreds convened in downtown Riverside and San Bernardino to denounced the federal government’s decision and responded by holding DACA renewal clinics and other rallies.

Left: The City of San Bernardino officially rose out of bankruptcy in June 2017. Nonetheless, there are still many concerns from the community regarding the leadership’s ability to improve its fiscal situation and the quality of life in the long term. Councilwoman Virginia Marquez, who represents the first ward, said she’s proud of the city’s resiliency. However, she believes the City Council and staff need to proceed with caution as they make future decisions. “We’re still vulnerable and fragile,” Marquez said. “And we will be for some time until we get our foothold.” Arts

Nickel said he shares the concerns of the Fine Arts Commission and suggested setting aside $400,000 for the arts. He agrees that future councils could forego providing support for arts and cultural programs.

“I want to provide with some assurance that we will come back with an item that will ensure we do have a cultural arts program that will be brought forward,” said Nickel.

City Manager Andrea Scott Miller confirmed her staff will provide the Council an opportu-

nity to explore the possibility of allocating funding for the arts during budget discussions. Nonetheless, she reminded councilmembers that they need to prioritize their money to support more pressing issues.

Fine Arts Commissioner Barbara Babcock claims the city has provided over $200,000 each fiscal year to support organizations. She believes the cultural impact fee is something that will continue to help the community prosper.

“I really encourage you to look at our youth and look at our artists,” Babcock said. “We can make a difference in the arts.”

Civil rights and business leader Frances Grice dies at 84 Unified School District. In addition to promoting civil rights, Grice founded the Operation Second Chance technical school in 1967 that provided low income youth the opportunity to receive employment training.

“There are few people here that lived in the 1960s and 70s,” said Grice in a YouTube interview with Glenn Ross in 2013. “They don’t know the struggle we had. They don’t know we had to dodge bullets. They don’t know the KKK was marching down on E Street.

We have to make sure our children remember the past.”

San Bernardino Community College District Trustee Joseph Williams said Grice was a community stalwart who always led by example.

“She was just an awesome person,” he said. “She understood the importance of providing opportunities to minorities in our community.” Despite experiencing many hard-

Grice served as a mentor and a motivator to dozens of community leaders and public officials across the Inland Empire.

“She never quit,” said San Bernardino City Unified School District Board Member Gwen Dowdy Rodgers. “Frances always pushed us to continue and reminded us what we were fighting for.”

Grice came to San Bernardino from Detroit, Michigan in 1962 and immediately began working at St. Bernardine Hospital. She would later become a key figure in the fight for integrated schools within the San Bernardino City
