San Bernardino’s $23.8 Million Homeless Navigation Center Sparks Debate Over Modular Housing and Preliminary Service Rejections

By Manny Sandoval

A

s San Bernardino grapples with how to deploy $23.8 million in funding for its new Homeless Navigation Center, tensions are mounting over design choices, service policies, and ongoing challenges in securing the cooperation of the unhoused.

During a special council meeting held on October 24 at the Feldheym Library, Acting City Manager Rochelle Clayton revealed that despite a court injunction lifted on October 2 permitting the city to clear encampments, unhoused individuals at Perris Hill Park are refusing services, likely due to shelter rules.

According to Clayton, outreach efforts conducted by Hope the Mission on October 22 encountered unanimous rejection, with unhoused individuals citing an unwillingness to follow the center’s restrictions. “The response was plain,” Clayton reported. “They do not want any restrictions or rules.” With this re-

sistance in mind, Clayton expressed concerns over the city’s plan to open a 200-bed facility, advocating instead for a phased launch with 50 or 100 beds to assess demand. “We don’t want to staff a facility for hundreds of beds that may go unused,” she added, highlighting an already uncertain level of occupancy at the forthcoming center to be located at the former School of Hope site at 796 6th St., San Bernardino.

Modular Housing Models Under Fire for Cost and Practicality The city’s shift from a non-congregate to a congregate modular housing model has drawn substantial criticism, particularly from Councilman Ted Sanchez, who argued that the new plan disregards council-approved decisions made over two years ago. Initially, the center was envisioned as a non-congregate facility where each individual would have a private unit complete with a bathroom, fostering privacy and independence.

Local and State Elections: The Unseen Power Shaping Our Communities

Detectives Arrest Man After Discovering Murder Victim Buried in Backyard

By Manny Sandoval

A

s election season heats up, the spotlight inevitably turns to the presidential race. The debates, rallies, and endless news coverage make it easy to forget that another set of elections—arguably just as important—is happening right in our own backyards. It's time we bring the same energy and enthusiasm to voting for our local and state officials as we do for presidential candidates.

The general public often underestimates how pivotal city council members, state assembly representatives, senators, judges, and other local officials are to the vitality of our cities, counties, and state.

These are the people who make decisions that directly affect our daily lives—from funding for schools and public safety to housing policies and infrastructure projects. They shape the communities we live in and the quality of services we receive.

Despite their significant impact, voter turnout for local and state elections remains disappointingly low. This apathy allows a small, often

vocal minority to steer the direction of policies and initiatives that affect us all. It's easy to spot ill-informed voters during this time—they're often the loudest voices, pushing one-sided commentary without a full understanding of the issues at stake.

So, what can we do? First, recognize the power and importance of your vote at the local and state level. Set aside an hour or two to become an informed voter. Read through your voter information guide, attend local candidate forums, and engage in discussions with your community members.

For Californians, a valuable resource is CAL MATTERS, a nonpartisan organization offering detailed, jargon-free information on all of California's propositions.

Their voter guide breaks down complex issues into understandable language, helping you make informed decisions: CAL MATTERS Voter Guide.

Additionally, residents of San Bernardino County can utilize the Registrar of Voters' polling place lookup tool to find their designated voting locations: San Bernardino

County Polling Place Look-up Tool. Knowing where to vote is a crucial step in ensuring your voice is heard.

Remember, it's our right— and frankly, our duty—to vote. And it's nobody's business who you vote for. Do it for yourself, for your family, and for your community. An informed electorate is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy.

Local and state elections may not have the glamour of a presidential race, but they are no less critical. The officials we elect to these positions have a profound impact on our everyday lives. By participating fully in these elections, we ensure that our voices are heard and that our communities reflect our shared values and priorities.

Let's not allow apathy or misinformation to dictate the future of our cities and state.

This election season, let's make a collective commitment to be informed, engaged, and active participants in our democracy.

Your vote is your voice—use it wisely.

Mayor Deborah Robertson’s Leadership Transforms Rialto Into a Thriving City of Growth, Opportunity, and Innovation

By Victor Ornelas, Community Member

R

ialto—our community that was once overshadowed by hardship and a reputation for crime—has transformed into a city on the rise.

Today, we’re no longer defined by past struggles but by a future brimming with growth, new jobs, and housing opportunities.

At the heart of our transformation is Mayor Deborah Robertson, whose steadfast leadership has turned Rialto into a city ripe with promise and big opportunities.

In overcoming our city’s issues and reputation with crime, she made Rialto the worldclass standard in criminal justice and police accountability when she helped pioneer bodyworn cameras to change policing. Her foresight ended up influencing policing and criminal justice systems around the world.

Since that time, our mayor has helped to guide us through economic recessions and a pandemic and we’re still thriving. In fact, over the last decade the average household income has risen from $40,000 to over $80,000.

Thanks to her leadership, businesses are growing across the city spurring jobs in healthcare, education, transportation, logistics and retail.

But our city’s growth still comes with new challenges, including concerns about warehouses. Mayor Robertson is addressing these by promoting responsible development, evaluating each new project on its merits.

Under her leadership, the city has launched innovative initiatives such as the Rialto Wastewater Treatment Plant, operating through a groundbreaking public-private partnership, and the Rialto Bioenergy Facility, a pioneering effort to reduce methane emissions by converting food waste into renewable fuel.

Her vision is to harness academic expertise in water infrastructure, environmental science, and clean technologies to strengthen the Rialto workforce.

Mayor Robertson has also taken significant steps to stimulate Rialto’s economy by partnering with major retail and hospitality businesses that help create jobs and fuel local development.

Her leadership has attracted national chains and supported local entrepreneurs, resulting in the revitalization of key commercial corridors across the city. Most recently, Mayor Robertson spearheaded the expansion of the popular Renaissance Marketplace, an 80,000square foot retail and commercial center, which has brought even more businesses, manufacturing, and jobs to Rialto.

To meet the demands of Rialto’s growing job market, Mayor Robertson is actively working to secure additional market-rate and affordable housing units for residents.

Recent developments include a collection of single-family homes at River Ranch on Walker Street, a 21-unit apartment building at Evergreen Apartments on Cactus Avenue, and a 70-unit multi- family project featuring 19 buildings on 4.5 acres at Foothill and Larch.

These housing initiatives are integral to her broader strategy of fostering a resilient, future-focused economy that balances commercial growth with affordable living options, all while enhancing the quality of life for Rialto’s residents.

It's critical to continue trusting her leadership and re-elect her this November to keep our city moving forward. *The views and opinions expressed in this Op-Ed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official stance or opinions of Inland Empire Community News or its staff.

n Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at around 7:45 p.m., Riverside Police Officers responded to a home in the 8700 block of Sylvan Drive, in the Arlanza neighborhood, following reports that a resident had not been seen or heard from for several days.

During their initial investigation, officers learned that one of the occupants had made statements claiming he killed his roommate.

That occupant was detained, and a search of the property revealed a possible crime scene in the backyard.

Due to the suspicious circumstances, detectives from our Robbery - Homicide Unit, along with specialists from the Forensics Unit, responded to assist with the investigation. Riverside Sheriff’s cadaver canines also aided.

The cadaver dogs alerted to freshly disturbed soil in the backyard. As detectives began digging the area, they found human remains. The Riverside SheriffCoroner’s Office responded to complete the recovery from the makeshift grave, identifying the

victim as 31-year-old Bradley Minder of Riverside.

Detectives arrested 48-year-old Richard Thomas Martinez of Riverside and later booked him into the Robert Presley Detention Center for murder. He is currently being held without bail.

Their preliminary investigation revealed the victim and suspect are roommates. During an altercation, the suspect killed Mr. Minder then buried his body in the backyard of their home.

This investigation is still ongoing and there are no other details to release at this time. Anyone with additional information should contact Detective Ricky Barajas at (951) 353-7213 or EBarajas@RiversideCA.gov, or Detective Richard Glover at (951) 353-7134 or RGlover@RiversideCA.gov.

San Bernardino County Sheriff ’s Department Conducted DUI Patrols in Highland

By San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department

T

he San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department were out out Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence (DUI).

“Impaired driving is preventable,” Deputy James Luttio said. “It’s a choice. If you’ve been drinking or taken drugs that impair, make the right choice by finding a sober driver or alternate transportation to take you places.”

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medica-

tions and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

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

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
