PUBLIC COMMENT
Comments received by 5 00 P M the day before the meeting were read into the public record Comments
related to specific agenda items are incorporated into the item discussion
Homelessness- Luis Camargo was disheartened with the number of homeless people he has seen around
Orange and Lugonia and was worried that if nothing was done, Redlands could become run-down like some
surrounding cities
Measure U Exemption for Village Partners Ventures, LLC - Larry Leonard, of the Friends of Redlands,
thanked Council Member Foster for speaking up on May 18, 2021, and starting the conversation to lower
the density in the proposed mall plan and hopefully affect future development in the Transit Villages Area
Nathaniel Cline supported granting an exemption from Measure U restrictions for the project and thought it
was full of exciting possibilities Mandy Dominguez, Catherine Dehart, Geraldine Dunithan and Wayne
Johnson expressed concerns with building height, traffic and parking, while Richard O'Donnell did not
think the City demonstrated there existed a direct connection to make the case that the mall project was
within a `walkable' distance to the station, leading him to question the Council's decision to grant the
exemption
Coyote Aviation - Julia Smith, Charlene Frizzell and Trent Grove spoke in support of Coyote Aviation,
urging the Council to extend the lease with Coyote Bill Ingraham described his experiences as the Director
of Airports for SB County, and he stated such hangar developments did not typically provide a
return -on -investment unless the lease terms were extended beyond 35 years
Various Concerns - Dennis Bell was frustrated the City was still holding meetings via zoom, which he has
found to be unreliable, and he thought the City's policy restrictions were discouraging public participation
Addressing those people who have encouraged the Council to purchase the Mistretta property in Live Oak
Canyon, he said the City had already squandered too much public resources on cultural amenities and
buying open space

Council Member Davis detailed Resolution No 8211 to establish a City Council Code of Conduct Policy
and thanked Mayor Banch for co -sponsoring this item She noted that many cities throughout California
have a code of conduct and much of the language used to develop the code for Redlands was adapted from
other cities Two key areas are unique to Redlands and include the City's Core Values and Personnel Rules
and Regulations She explained it was unclear whether the anti -bullying policy included Council Members,
and so that piece was wntten into the document, with a goal to develop a code that was created with
fairness and equity for all people She said a work environment should be free from harassment,
discrimination and bullying Mayor Banch commended Council Member Davis and staff for their diligence
in preparing this Code, and he was pleased it contained a section describing the roles and responsibilities of
council members
As public comment, Dennis Bell raised questions about enforcement or penalties for noncompliant
behavior of the code Jennifer Kim, Addison Daviddove and Kathy Dean Sadanala encouraged the Council
to adopt the Code of Conduct, as it ensures accountability, holds public officials to the highest professional
standards and would put Redlands in line with many surrounding cities which already have a code of
conduct in place
Dunng a lengthy discussion, Council Members offered comments as to their perceptions of the Code
Council Member Guzman -Lowery stated a code can be a valuable workplace tool, which adds structure
and definition to complex roles and allows for accountability Council Member Foster was in agreement
with much of the Code, despite its length, and he supported the rules pertaining to discrimination and
bullying, but he voiced concerns with other sections that he thought could potentially be in violation of First
Amendment rights He recommended the document be reviewed by outside counsel before a final decision
was made Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda had no issues with the document but inquired about adding a section for
behavior on social media City Attorney McHugh clarified that if Council decided to request the Code be
reviewed by outside counsel, he would make sure the work be performed m a timely manner
On motion of Council Member Denise Davis, seconded by Council Member Paul Foster, the City Council
unanimously approved, by roll call vote, to adopt the definition of bullying m the City's Personnel Rules and
Regulations to include City Council Members, and agreed to table the matter of Resolution No 8211 and
revisit the Code of Conduct at a future City Council meeting, to be held in July, 2021, after it is reviewed by
outside counsel to assess First Amendment issues Bullying Definition - The City defines bullying as
"repeated inappropriate behavior, either direct or indirect, whether verbal, physical, or otherwise, conducted
by one or more persons against another or others, at the place of work and/or in the course of employment "
Such behavior violates the Redlands City Values
