Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Fontana, California public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues in general with high priority
Consent calendar transparency and the $3.4M settlement
A resident flagged roughly $8.6 million in consent spending, questioned the CellXion 'triggerfish' purchase and the housing element consultant's bid process, and asked the city to disclose what the $3.4 million legal settlement covers.
Reproductive Health Clinic Zoning Ordinance
Fontana’s city council just kept a ban in place that blocks a new Planned Parenthood from opening. That means the city is still limiting where reproductive health clinics can operate—and local patients may have to go elsewhere for care.
Legal Settlement
Fontana is paying $900,000 to settle a lawsuit after police reportedly pressured Tom Perez into falsely confessing to killing his father—who was actually alive. That means local taxpayers are covering the bill for a wrongful interrogation case.
Street Vendor Enforcement
Fontana is stepping up enforcement against unlicensed street vendors, so expect more crackdowns on food carts and pop-up stands. If you buy cheap food from these vendors, your usual spots could disappear or get fined—and licensed businesses may see less competition.
