On the agenda: City Council
Tonight's meeting starts at 5:30, which will give the City Council plenty of time for awards and presentations. Among those being honored are: Nellie Ayala, nutrition manager for the Oldtimer's Foundation; Doug Morris for his California Parks and Recognition Society's District 11 layman's award; Community Hills Church group for their services at the Animal Care and Adoption Center; three Rancho Cucamonga ACE girls softball teams for advancing to the state championships; and the Little League All-Star teams in the Alta Loma and Vineyard leagues.
At the 7 p.m. meeting, the City Council is expected to adopt a resolution opposing Proposition 19, the November ballot initiative that would legalize consumption of marijuana for people 21 and older. Finally, Community Services Director Kevin McArdle will have a response for a number of complaints made by City Council candidate Jim Moffatt at the last meeting. Moffatt was upset that 1. there are plans for a bocce ball court 2. that the city is not paying for the veteran's memorial and 3. a youth sports team was recently kicked out of a park for not registering and paying with the city.

The city needs to grant the young men and women who leave Rancho Cucamonga to serve this country, always faithful and ready to defend this nation, a welcome home when they return. We must carry on with programs geared towards all military veterans past or present and greet them with open arms upon returning. They will one day become the leaders and the future generation of tomorrow.
