Posed question: As a leader, how do you speak to residents, employees and constituents about the state of the economy?
Upland City Manager Robb Quincey:
"First and foremost I try to education and inform our people, whether it be employees or constituents, about what's going on in our city - what the state of the economy is in our city," Quincey said. "We send out an Upland Today newsletter that speaks to what's going on in our city and in our case we planned for a downturn in the economy. We budgeted for a downturn."
"We focus on what's happening to us and let people know we're in a good position and firmly in control of what's happening in our city and doing the best we can to minimize the impact overall," he said.
"We've been building reserves for a number of years. We put aside for specific projects and what we anticipated, so we were prepared for it. Granted this has been far worse than anticipated, it's been very very severe, but the city is well positioned for it. We're prepared for it. We're making adjustments and will continue to make adjustments."

Parents of students enrolled at Upland Christian Schools comment on Wednesday's meeting with the Anaheim District Church of the Nazarene.
"If the school is for sale whey didn't we buy it? Why didn't they come to us?" said Greg Knighton, parent of a student at Upland Christian. "The real problem is in the church. That is the problem that needs to be figured out."
"The parents are very dedicated in that school and I believe they would band together to save that school if possible and they need to be given that opportunity," said Michelle Chiappone, parent of a student at Upland Christian, alumnus and daughter to the schools' administrator.
"It's is really a family organization. We feel like we're family with the staff and parents and students that's why we take this so personal, which is why there has been such a backlash of how it was decided without giving us a chance to respond."
