he historic Harris Building, a 207,000-square-foot landmark in downtown San Bernardino, has been donated to the city in a move that could herald a new era of revitalization for the area. Valued at $4 million, the building has suffered from years of neglect, leading to its current dilapidated state.

The donation comes from El Corte Inglés, S.A., a Spanish Corporation (ECI), which has owned the building since 1998. "The Harris Building is the last remaining property within our real estate portfolio located in the United States," stated a representa-

tive from ECI. "It is no longer economically viable to continue maintaining the property, given the challenges of vandalism and trespassing due to its vacant status."

Assistant City Manager Edelia Everland clarified the nature of the transaction, stating, "It's a private property that we will acquire via a donation. If we dispose of the property through development, then the Surplus Land Act would apply, but this is a donation from the private sector to the city.

The city does not have plans at present to tear it down, and it would be a council decision, but staff does not intend on bringing forward a recommendation to demolish."

Councilwoman Kimberly Calvin raised

concerns about any outstanding fees associated with the property, asking, "With this donation, were there any other fees outstanding in acquiring this property? I know they owed the city of San Bernardino some fees, correct?" City staff responded that they were unaware of any owed fees but would investigate further with code enforcement.

Mayor Pro Tem Fred Shorett expressed optimism about the acquisition, stating, "The acquisition of this building is very good. Everyone's going to be very happy that we're getting this building. Any discussion up here about problems with it - this is Harris Building cont. on next pg.

n a shocking spring break heist, allegedly 10 classrooms at Colton High School were burglarized, resulting in the loss of over $20,000 worth of digital equipment from the school's student news publication the Pepper Bough and other areas.

Pepper Bough adviser, Mr. Jeremiah Dollins, reported a series of unsettling break-ins across the campus, including the theft of valuable equipment from the publication's studio. "It's like a home invasion.

This is our home away from home, and to have it violated in such a manner is devastating. It's not just a loss for us, but for the entire school community that we provide coverage for," Dollins lamented.

Among the stolen items were 15 digital Canon cameras, a set of lights, microphones, and flashbulbs, as well as Dollins' personal Nikon camera, bass guitar, and amplifier. "They knew exactly what they were looking for. It's clear that this wasn't a random act," Dollins added, noting that drones were spared, likely due to their hidColton High cont. on next pg.

Harris Building

a positive thing to be happening in the city of San Bernardino. Thank you very much, El Corte Inglés in Spain."

Councilman Alexander highlighted the importance of securing the building, especially given its proximity to the former Carousel Mall, which experienced numerous break-ins. "Are we using private security to secure this building? It's important as to how we plan on securing the building because now we are responsible for it. I don't want our unsheltered population to damage our property further," he said.

Amidst these developments, Ryan Stanly, Creative Director of the neighboring Enterprise Building (located next door to the Harris Building), whose family owns the property, shared insights into the challenges and past aspirations surrounding the Harris Building. "It's interesting because we were in the process of purchasing the Harris Building and the city didn't give a parking agreement, so we had to pull out. It's rather quick that they received it as a donation," Stanly said.

Stanly said the building was appraised at $8 million around 2021/2022, but with homeless breaking in to steal its copper wire, metals, destroying every tiled marble stairway, and mold developing from 30+ fires where sprinklers were discharged and flooded the first floor, the building is now worth $4 million.

Stanly elaborated on what his family hoped to do with the building, stating, "We planned to model it after our building and since it's much larger, use it as a retail attraction, with local restaurants, a cool hotel, art spaces, and revitalize the rooftop up there.”

Colton High

den location known only to a select few students.

The intruders also targeted the Dreamer Alliance Club's advisor room, making off with $600 in cash. "Our students are feeling a profound sense of violation. This isn't just about the equipment; it's about the sense of security we've lost," Dollins expressed.

Erin Dallatorre, Editor-in-Chief of the Pepper Bough, shared the disbelief and frustration felt by the student body.

"When Mr. Dollins broke the news, my heart sank. Our publication relies heavily on this equipment for senior portraits, yearbook photos, and covering school events. It's a huge setback for us," Dallatorre stated.

She also said this incident is a huge loss to the greater campus because the publication literally covers everything with a photographer from sports, to theater, lunchtime events and everything in-between; and without the proper equipment she fears their work quality may be compromised.

The absence of forced entry in several of the CHS spring break burglaries has caused much speculation and suspicions of insider involvement. "It's unsettling to think that someone with access to the school could be responsible," Dallatorre remarked.

Despite the city's assurance that the building will not be demolished, Stanly remains cautious.

"I don't think the city will tear it down, because they said they wouldn't, but it has happened many times in history where they change their minds.

It's a more historical building in the area that shouldn't be torn down and should be restored," he said.

The Harris Building, located at 300 N E Street, next to the Enterprise Building, has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1905 by the Harris brothers. It became a symbol of quality and service, surviving the Great Depression and continuing to innovate through the decades. However, the closure of Norton Air Force Base and changes in ownership led to its decline, culminating in the merger with Gottschalks in 1998 and the eventual closure of the flagship store in 1999.

Today, the city plans to secure the building with the help of public works and the police department, ensuring it does not become a target for vandalism or a haven for the unsheltered population. The donation of the Harris Building is seen as a crucial step in the redevelopment of the downtown area, with the property providing added site control to the Carousel Mall redevelopment site.

Upon approval and acceptance of the donation by the Mayor and City Council, the property will be brought before the Planning Commission to ensure conformity with the city's General Plan.

This donation marks a hopeful chapter in the ongoing efforts to revitalize the heart of San Bernardino, with the historic Harris Building at its center.

Teachers who have been victims of the breakins are reportedly equally distraught. Particularly affected was the ELD Teacher Ms. Medina, whose Dreamers Allies Club classroom was burglarized. "She was devastated. Not only was $600 in fundraising money stolen, but they also stole 20 Apple pens from her classroom," Dallatorre explained.

Security concerns have been amplified by the incident, with several teachers and students voicing their fears. "It's a reminder of how vulnerable we are, especially when security presence diminishes after hours. I’m in marching band and stay after school a lot, and when security leaves shortly after school ends, we’re on our own. I do think that more cameras and better alarm systems could protect our campus in the future," Dallatorre added.

Rialto City Council Approves $427K for Baseline Road Median Fence Project to Enhance Safety Near Eisenhower High

I

By Manny Sandoval

n a unanimous decision on March 26, the Rialto City Council awarded a construction contract to Leonida Builders Inc. for the Baseline Road Median Fence Improvement Project, aimed at bolstering safety near Eisenhower High School.

The $427,760 project will feature a steel post fence, similar to the one near Colton High School on Valley Boulevard, according to Tim Sullivan, Director of Maintenance and Facilities. "The fence will be steel and powder coated, extending approximately 337 feet to complete installation between Willow Avenue and Lilac Avenue," Sullivan detailed.

Mayor Deborah Robertson expressed her support for the project, emphasizing its importance for student safety. "This fence is a critical safety measure to protect our students from the dangers of jaywalking and oncoming traffic," Robertson stated.

Councilmember Rafael Trujillo raised concerns about the fence's height and its ability to withstand car accidents, a common occurrence in the area.

"We are extending the raised median towards the corner of Baseline Road and Willow Avenue, and the fence will be placed on this raised median.

While we can't predict every incident, but the aim is to reduce the likelihood of accidents," Sullivan explained.

Echoing the sentiment, Councilmember Ed Scott highlighted the long-standing need for this safety measure. "This project

The school and the Pepper Bough are rallying to recover from the losses, with efforts to raise funds and replace the stolen equipment underway.

"We're determined to bounce back from this.

Our work is too important to let this stop us," Dollins affirmed.

Colton High School and local authorities are investigating the break-ins, urging anyone with information to come forward. The school community remains hopeful for justice and a return to a sense of normalcy.

has been in the works for over 15 years. It's designed to protect our students and encourage them to use crosswalks instead of risking their lives crossing busy streets," Scott said.

The fence will also feature reflectors and yellow paint to enhance visibility for drivers at night. "Safety is our top priority, and these features will help alert drivers to the presence of the fence, especially after dark," Sullivan added.

The Baseline Road Median Fence Improvement Project is part of the city's broader efforts to improve road safety. In 2016, the city applied for a grant from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) following a pedestrian fatality on Baseline Road. The HSIP aims to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on public roads, with specific targets for each state.

The project's funding strategy has also led to significant cost savings. "By separating the fence project from the larger median construction project, we've managed to reduce construction costs by $164,640," Sullivan noted.

The median extension and fence are expected to deter midblock and uncontrolled pedestrian crossings, thereby increasing safety in the area.

The project does not include a landscaping component due to the width constraints of the median extension.

Construction is set to begin in the coming months, with the community eagerly anticipating the enhanced safety measures near Eisenhower High School.

April is National Minority Health Month

A

By Dr. Archana Dubey, Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of California

pril is recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as Minority Health Month, an observance that brings awareness to health disparities and encourages action through education, early detection, and disease control.

Part of this work includes raising awareness about the disproportionate health outcomes among people who belong to racial or ethnic minority groups.

The conditions in which we are born, live, learn, work, play, and worship and our age – known as social determinants of health (SDOH) – have important impacts on health.

Differences in SDOH contribute to the stark and persistent chronic disease disparities in the U.S. among racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, systematically limiting opportunities for members of some groups to be healthy.

Cancer

Black/African Americans have the highest mortality rate of any racial or ethnic group for all cancers combined and for most major cancers.

From 2015-2019, African American men were 1.2 times and 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with new cases of colon and prostate cancer than non-Hispanic white men.

Although Hispanic men and women generally have lower cancer rates than the non-Hispanic White population, disparities do exist in certain types of cancer. Both Hispanic men and women are almost twice as likely to have and die from liver cancer than non-Hispanic Whites.

Hispanic women are 40% more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and 30 percent more likely to die from cervical cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic White women.

Mental Health

Black females, grades 9-12, were 60% more likely to attempt suicide in 2019, as compared to non-Hispanic white females of the same age.

Suicide attempts for Hispanic girls, grades 9-12, were 30%

higher than for non-Hispanic white girls in the same age group, in 2019.

In 2018, Hispanics were 50% less likely to have received mental health treatment as compared to non-Hispanic Whites.

Prenatal Care

Although overall infant mortality rates have fallen over time, the 2018 infant mortality rate for infants of non-Hispanic Black women was more than twice as high as that for infants of non-Hispanic white and nonHispanic Asian and Hispanic women.

In 2019, Hispanic mothers were 80% more likely to receive late or no prenatal care as compared to non-Hispanic White mothers.

This awareness month brings light to differences in the health outcomes of various racial and ethnic minority groups.

This awareness can also inform individuals about how groups who have poor social determinants of health and lack of access to high-quality medical care are more likely to be diagnosed with and die from diseases.

hen I hit my alarm in the morning I take for granted that my phone, charging on my nightstand, is at 100% battery life. My electric toothbrush, the first stop in my morning routine, is also fully charged. The lights, my spotify, the coffee, my entire morning routine - all are dependent on power reliably entering my house and finding its way to my appli-

ances and outlets. Rare is the moment when I think about power outages.

But they happen. No one in 2024 is unaware that an outage could hit, and as winter turns into spring, we begin to remember the wildfires of last year that had many of us in the dark, sometimes for days.

Del Norte County’s 27,000 residents relied on generator powered microgrids for nearly a month after lightning strikes started wildfires that took down trans-

mission lines. A report

by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) states that large wildfires have been increasing since the 1970s, and the increasing probability of wildfires poses significant risk to infrastructure like power lines and pipelines.

Major utility providers like PG&E and SDGE have experienced a significant uptick in outages.

Bloomenergy took the ten largest cities in the state of California and ranked them by how

many outages they experienced over a two year period. Los Angeles was first, as many people might expect, with almost 6 and a half million people impacted (meaning most residents were impacted many times over). It’s easy to hope that outages won’t impact us but the data shows that it’s not really a question of “if” but “when” and “how badly”.

PAVEMENT POLITICS: How One Real Estate Developer is Shaping the Future of Bloomington

By Anthony Victoria and Christopher Salazar

F

*This sponsored story was originally published in the Frontline Observer — an independent local news outlet based in the Inland Empire. or years Angela McClain says she was frustrated with the lack of improvement and investment in the unincorporated San Bernardino County town of Bloomington.

McClain is a member of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) and founder of local nonprofit organization Olive Branch Development and Empowerment Services. She shared that residents in the area have desired more revenue to help fund paved sidewalks, more Sheriff’s deputies and other essential public infrastructure.

In the last decade, developers have convinced elected officials—specifically members of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors—to adopt large warehouse projects to help address this frustration and to bring jobs to the region.

McClain says one developer in particular has helped give back to the Bloomington community.

She says Tim Howard of Howard Industrial Partners, a Newport Beach based real estate company who has developed over 9 million square feet of warehouses in the Inland Empire, has a “big heart, regardless of what people think.”

Howard and his company in the past have helped Olive Branch with community toy drives. The Bloomington Little League also received at least one donation from Howard Industrial Partners.

“Nobody’s looking into what he’s doing for the community,” said McClain.

Other residents disagree. At issue is the Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan, a 213-acre project that will demolish one school and 138 homes, displacing around 530 people, in order to build a warehouse cluster over 50 football fields in size.

Ana Carlos is a school teacher, mother and homeowner. She’s lived in Bloomington for 12 years. Carlos is also one of the co-founders of the Concerned Neighbors of Bloomington, a local group who advocates for environmental justice.

Carlos says since Howard received approval from the County to build his 213 acre Bloomington project in 2022, people working for him have attempted to divide and intimidate residents into moving out and selling their land so workers could begin construction.

“For years now, neighbors have said that these real estate people or people who work for Howard [Industrial Partners] would come and say, ‘Well, you're the only one holding this project back, you're the only neighbor that hasn't sold and imagine how your neighbors are going to feel when they find out that you're the one holding this project back.’”

Carlos and the Concerned Neighbors of Bloomington started sorting through campaign finance forms of school board members in an attempt to see if some dots connected.

“We were very surprised to look into the school board and find out that Howard Industrial Partners was also giving someone on the school board campaign contributions,” said Carlos. “We told ourselves, ‘What's going on here?’”

Carlos is referring to developer-driven campaign contributions that can involve deceptively small amounts of money. A collaborative project between the Frontline Observer and Pitzer College’s Robert Redford Conservancy is attempting to address the questions asked by residents like Carlos. By searching through campaign disclosure forms available through online public records, we learned that Howard Industrial Partners has donated $67,348 to the election campaigns of at least two elected officials representing residents in Bloomington since 2016.

From 2020 to 2024, Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. received $39,498 from Tim Howard and people connected to his development company. Dan Flores, who ran for the same seat, and who sits on the Colton Joint Unified School District, received $27,850 from 2016 to 2020.

According to California’s Secretary of State Office, people who run for public office and raise funds through campaign committees are required under the Political Reform Act to disclose finances on a semi-annual basis.

Under the Act, individual residents, nonprofits organizations, business companies and other contributors are allowed to raise funds for candidates they support.

Local election officers are allowed to adjust or strengthen campaign rules under the law.

Donations like these are a small symbol of the relationships warehouse related developers garner through their campaign contributions to elected officials.

Bloomington residents allege that warehouse projects are effectively rubber stamped, diminishing meaningful community engagement within an already compromised system.

Howard Industrial Partners, Joe Baca, and Dan Flores did not respond to multiple requests to comment on these allegations, their development activity or their support of elected officials in Bloomington and the broader Inland Empire.

During a San Bernardino County Planning Commission meeting back in September 2022, the company’s owner Tim Howard shared that the Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan would raise the bar for the unincorporated community. He affirmed then that the project met the California Attorney General’s best practices on warehouse construction.

“What we’re planning in Bloomington raises the bar for our competitors and ourselves,” Howard told the commission. “We have embraced our neighbors, embraced some of the community organizations that are active, including the local little league.”

But the Little League is a weak foil against the wholesale demolition of a neighborhood. Resident opposition to the project is vocal and ongoing, and points to a sharp division between resident desires and decision maker loyalties. One researcher says campaign contributions are both a symbol of this fracturing and a vehicle that drives the wedge further. And it extends beyond Bloomington.

In 2021, following a concerted effort on the part of students and grassroots organizers to save a 219-acre section of prime farmland in nearby Ontario that developers hoped to rezone and convert into warehousing, then Pitzer College senior Ian Ragen was inspired to look into the matter further.

He conducted applied research in the spring of 2022 investigating the role of campaign finance on warehouse expansion in the city of Ontario. Using publicly available records, Ragen found that warehouse related donors and those who benefit from warehouse construction contributed $473,732 to Ontario council members Debra Dorst-Porada, Alan Wapner, Paul Leon, Jim Bowman and Ruben Valencia.

For Ragen, the cozy relationship of developers and elected officials indicated that the interests of warehouse related developers mattered more than those of the people most affected: local residents.

“The loyalty of some city council members and board of supervisors in both Riverside and San Bernardino County has shifted away from residents and toward developers who bring investment—–and also take profits away from the local area,” said Ragen. “Those are the bricks that make up the warehouse boom. The cement is the developers’ support for local causes that wind up currying favor with the public and elected officials. Essentially it’s the warehouse form of greenwashing.”

‘They use zoning to basically destroy a community’

Felipe Ortiz discovered his own sense of belonging within the unincorporated San Bernardino County community of Bloomington.

Ortiz has helped organize ‘cabalgatas,’ or traditional horseback rides that celebrate the charro cowboy lifestyle many Mexican families enjoy. His children and neighbors use the cabalgatas as a way to celebrate birthday celebrations or contribute to baby showers and weddings.

“What we do here is great because a lot of young children and people come together to celebrate our roots,” Ortiz said in his native Spanish. “This is something we strive to leave behind for the generations to come.”

On the morning of January 24, Ortiz went outside and saw a notice secured to the home’s chain link fence. He

shares that the front of the property was also padlocked.

The piece of paper had a number and a message. It read, “Need access? Ask for Tim Howard.”

A surveillance video shared online shows that on February 15, a bulldozer charged toward Ortiz’s property.

The footage shows the bulldozer knocking down the chain link fence.

Ortiz says his wife and three children were all inside the property.

Later, Ortiz learned through a local environmental justice group, the People’s Collective for Environmental Justice (PC4EJ), that PAMA Management–Ortiz’s landlord–had sold the property to Howard Industrial Partners.

Howard Industrial Partners did not respond when asked about Ortiz’s situation.

Earthjustice, a legal nonprofit organization, has sued San Bernardino County on behalf of PC4EJ, the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice (CCAEJ) and The Center for Biological Diversity over the Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan. The organizations argue the County failed to consider health and air quality impacts from diesel truck traffic before approving the large project.

Another lawsuit from the Western Center on Law and Poverty on behalf of PC4EJ, CCAEJ, The Center for Biological Diversity, and Sierra Club is additionally focusing on the disproportionate impact of this project on Latino communities and individuals.

Andrea Vidaurre is the senior policy analyst with PC4EJ. She argues that the game plan of developers is straightforward: developers come into a place and convince agencies to rezone residential land into industrial space.

“They use zoning to basically destroy a community,” says Vidaurre. “It’s a common theme in the IE.”

Vidaurre says if the Bloomington area was “rich, white, and equestrian” the Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan wouldn’t even be on the table.

“It’s because they’re from a low-income, low-density Latino community, whose culture and heritage aren’t valued in the same way,” Vidaurre said.

What does the future hold for Bloomington?

Because of the Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan, Zimmerman Elementary School will be demolished and rebuilt at a different site about one mile away from its current location on Linden Avenue.

The new site will border Santa Ana, Cedar and Larch Avenues on a 28-acre plot of land owned by the school district. However, Colton Joint Unified School District spokeswoman Katie Orloff said in an email that the Board of Education has not reached a final decision for the exact location.

“The District is carrying out the relocation of Zimmerman Elementary School independent of the Bloomington Business Park project,” Orloff said. “While we do not have control or input into the decision to build the Bloomington Business Park project or its impacts on the neighborhood, it is always our goal to pursue our best option available to us in providing for our schools, students and staff.”

Joaquin Castillejos is an organizer with the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice (CCAEJ). He grew up in Bloomington and has taken pride in encouraging people like Felipe Ortiz and other horse riders to use cabalgatas as a form of resistance against developers like Howard.

He likens the developer to Amazon and other large corporations who have leased warehouses in Bloomington. Castillejos claims that Howard Industrial Partners, like Amazon, employs not just campaign contributions but public relations strategies to influence local organizations into supporting warehousing. He referenced a leaked Amazon memo detailing a coordinated effort to advance the company’s expansion plans into the area.

“If a large corporation like Amazon is employing these Cont. on next page

PR strategies to control the narrative, there is no doubt Howard Industrial Partners has been and is continuing to do the same by donating to major community spaces.”

Meanwhile, Ortiz’s home, like so many in the neigh-

borhood, is now at risk of sitting vacant or being reduced to a pile of rubble. Ortiz says he’s likely to leave his rented property by April 13 and sell off his horses.

As he continues to face the inevitable, the father of three shares he’s heartbroken.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF FRANCISCO ROBLES Case No. PROSB2300952

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of FRANCISCO ROBLES A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Norma P. DeRobles in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Norma P. DeRobles be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on April 15, 2024 at 9:00 AM in Dept.

No. F2 located at 17780 ARROW BLVD, FONTANA CA 92335.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the

personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-praisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of PATTI JOY PRIME. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ROBYN PRIME in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ROBYN PRIME be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/25/24 at 9:00AM in Dept. F3 located at 17780 ARROW BLVD., FONTANA, CA 92335 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in 58(b) of the section California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

City of San Bernardino Approves $8.78 Million to Repair 21 Streets

T

Potholes plaguing the City of San Bernardino have not been fully remediated in years, especially on Sixth Street.

Community News

he San Bernardino City Council approved a pavement rehabilitation contract for twenty-one streets throughout the City. The contract, awarded on March 20 to the Matich Corporation in the amount of $8,787,473.20, will encompass five - and one-half miles of roadway. Work is expected to begin in May and be completed by October.

“Improving five and a half miles of streets throughout the City demonstrates our continued commitment to not only bettering the quality of life for our residents but also for everyone who visits and works in San Bernardino,” said City Manager Charles Montoya.

The twenty-one streets were selected through a Pavement Management Analysis that was completed in 2021 to rate the condition of all public streets in the City.

Street segments (intersection to intersection) were rated based on each segment’s remaining service life.

The project includes the following locations:

13th Street from Waterman Avenue to Sierra Way (Ward 2) 16th Street from Sierra Way to Mt. View Avenue (Ward 2) 27th Street from Davidson Avenue to Little Mountain

B

(Ward 3) Temple Street from Medical Center Drive to End (Ward 6) Vanderbilt Way from Waterman Avenue to Carnegie Drive (Ward 3) $6 million of the funds for this project will come from the City’s Measure S local sales tax funds. Nearly $2 million will come from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRA), Measure I will fund an additional $500,000, and Senate Bill 1 Gas Tax funds will make up the remaining $400,000.

This project was delayed last year when bids came in much higher than expected.

“The condition of our streets is one of the top concerns of our residents and businesses,” said San Bernardino Public Works Director Lynn Merrill. “We were able to let the market calm down a little, modify some parts of the project, and now we can move forward.”

San Bernardino will begin a new Pavement Management Analysis in June to update the remaining service life of all public streets in the City. This analysis is anticipated to be completed in the Spring of 2025 and will be used to prioritize new street projects going forward.

etween March 16 and March 22, investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department – Gangs/Narcotics Division, along with deputies from patrol stations, served five search warrants and contacted suspects at various locations in Riverside, Adelanto and San Bernardino.

During those contacts, investigators contacted gang members and persons prohibited from possessing firearms. As a result, investigators seized approximately 17 pounds of illegal narcotics and nine firearms.

A total of six felony arrests were made.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized funds for countywide crime suppression. The intent is to provide additional funding to the Sheriff’s Department, allowing for increased law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting the communities in our county.

Operation Consequences will focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino.

The operation will include personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Probation, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and Department of Homeland Security Investigations.

Operation Consequences will take place over the next several months to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing and trafficking firearms.
