The Joint, Power Hearing on April 25, 2005 was prepared by Carrie Sue Lane, C.S.R. No.8882. The transcript contained numerous errors and the author finds that unacceptable since it effect razing an entire neighborhood. The citizens of the project demand the transcript redone and errors corrected. After all, the citizens deserve her best.

Speech by Weil Alatar, administrator of Facilities for San Bernardino.

Speech transcribed by Carrie Sue Lane, C.S.R. No. 8882. : Mayor Valles, Council, and Board members, my name is Weil ALATA, (spelled phonetically). I am the Administrator of Facilities

for San Bernardino City Unified School District. I am here on behalf of the district and Superintendent Delgado to support the City of San Bernardino Lakes and Stream projects.

Tonight you have in attendance some high school students. And they are basically preparing to join the work force. As the district is preparing them to do so, it is really important that our city provide jobs and business opportunities for the future generations as the Lakes and Stream projects transition from plan to reality. It will provide much-needed employment opportunities for this community. We welcome the responsibilities of new businesses and neighbors in the downtown area.

Thank you.

MAYOR VALLES

 Thank you, Mr. ALATA.

"The Self is the root of all fear. Fear is both inborn and acquired, it is related to the past, and too free thought-feeling from it, the past must be comprehended through the present. The past is ever wanting to give birth to the present which becomes the identifying memory of the "me" and the "mine," the "I." Deanna

Rebuttal from the author. The author's rebuttal is a photo of a school bus. This photo speaks a thousand words and touches the hearts of parents whose children are on the bus. This school bus is a story about young people who live in a disadvantaged neighborhood and whose parents toil for a loaf of bread. Each morning at 7:30 a.m. a school bus stops by a vacant land parcel in front of my kitchen window. I watch the children assemble as they step on the bus well dressed and each child has a colorful back pack. This photo is to point out  the neighborhood is populated with school age children and the School District has the responsibility to acknowledge that fact. The author resents a point of view inviting new children because we have plenty of children the school district can enjoy and work with. The school district does not need new children! The School District is responsible for guiding our children and must not exit our children out of the neighborhood. The outcome of razing an entire neighborhood disrupt plans and not knowing tomorrow has a profound effect on children. Superintendent Delgado fails to comprehend the adverse impact on young minds and must recognize his error in writing the letter praising the North Lake project. Mr. Delgado's letter to the Mayor depict our children less significant and capable to learn and perform. The author find that offense because every young mind is capable of learning providing the environment is supportive. The personal appearance of Mr. Weil ALATA on April 25, 2005 was clear that Mr.Delgado support the North Lake project. This is our children's environment and our neighborhood should not be razed for new children to enjoy. Who are these new children any way?

The vacant parcel by the school bus and adjacent to Victory Chapel is owned by the San Bernardino Municipal Valley Water District. The parcel is blighted and in need of a weed abatement.
