During a recent government meeting, the council revisited a resolution concerning the transfer of death row inmates to the California Institute for Men in Chino, following a request from Vice Mayor Steiner. The discussion centered around a letter prepared by city staff, intended to express opposition to this transfer.

Assistant to the City Manager, Amina Meares, presented the letter, which aims to be sent to both the governor and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The council was asked to provide direction on whether to proceed with sending the letter.

The meeting highlighted the council's ongoing engagement with issues related to the criminal justice system, particularly concerning the implications of relocating death row inmates. The council's decision on this matter reflects their stance on public safety and community concerns regarding the potential impact of such transfers.
