A New Hospital is Coming to the Temecula Valley
With its beautiful weather, top-ranking public schools, and abundance of
recreational activities, the Temecula Valley is a great place to live. In fact, the
area has one of the fastest-growing populations in California, according to the
Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. At Southwest Healthcare System (SWHCS), we know that this rapid growth will create increased demand for high quality, convenient healthcare facilities and services. That is why we are planning a
brand-new healthcare campus on South 79, west of Margarita Road.

The campus will feature a new acute care hospital, built with 172 beds to be
increased to 340 beds. The hospital will offer a large emergency department,
an intensive care unit, a cancer treatment center, and imaging and laboratory
services – close to home for community residents. Two medical office buildings
will house doctors’ offices, giving patients convenient access to physicians.

“Right now, Temecula residents go to Rancho Springs Medical Center or Inland Valley Medical Center, or even farther to San Diego, for healthcare,” says Linda Bradley,
CEO/Managing Director of SWHCS. “The location of this new hospital, about 8 miles
south of Rancho Springs, means that residents won’t have to travel far.”
“The Temecula community understands that having this hospital and healthcare
campus means that they’ll receive great care when they’re ill or injured close to
home.” Ms. Bradley adds, “The community is very excited to see this hospital
become a reality.”

City News
Temecula Welcomes Jerry Williams
as its new Police Chief
There was never any doubt in the mind of Jerry Williams that he would
one day be a peace officer. He remembers being in the third grade in
rural DeWitt, Arkansas, and patrolling the school ground to make sure the
bullies didn’t bother the other children. Jerry recalls, “the other children
would always come to me when they were being bullied because they knew
I would take care of them. It’s almost like I was born to do this.”
Jerry and his wife, Pam, moved to Temecula in April 1986. They were living in Orange County and had horses. They decided to look for property
for their horses, so they drove out to this area to look around. “We got
lost and stumbled across a five acre piece of property with a home under
construction,” said Jerry. “After taking one look we fell in love with the
house, made an offer and the next thing we knew they were residents of
Temecula.”
Jerry decided to leave his job of five years with the Los Angeles Police
Department and hired on with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. He worked as a patrol deputy out of the Lake Elsinore Station and spent
most of his time as the single patrol deputy for the beat covering Temecula, Murrieta, all the way north to Sun City and east to Winchester. It
was about 850 square miles and was covered by one deputy. “You learn
real fast how to talk people into going to jail when you’re out there by
yourself,” said Jerry. City of Temecula
43200 Business Park Dr.
Temecula, CA 92590
Jerry was the first deputy assigned to the Santa Rosa Community Services
District, west of Temecula, to help with avocado thefts and minor problems in the area. “This is one of my fondest assignments. I met a lot of
great people and made some lasting friendships,” recalls Jerry.
Jerry Williams,
Police Chief
Jerry is the new Sheriff’s Captain assigned to the Southwest Station and
the contracted Chief of Police for the City of Temecula. He recently replaced outgoing Captain Mitch Alm.
Jerry was transferred out of Temecula in 1993 to work other assignments. He worked his way up through the ranks and in August 2007 came back
to Temecula as the top cop.
“I am very community oriented and take a lot of pride in my city,” said
Jerry. “I believe there is no better job than the one where you can serve
your fellow citizens and actually make a positive impact on their lives.
In a sense, I feel like I am back on the school ground, making it a safe
place to play.”
The Auto Dealers of Temecula — Our Community Partners
Sales tax is the City’s largest revenue source representing 50% of the
total General Fund. Second only to the Promenade Mall, Temecula’s auto
dealers have contributed a large portion of that revenue to the City. The General Fund provides for crucial services such as Police and Fire
Services which makes our City a safer place to live, work, and play.
Current dealers are: Carriage Motor Company Buick Pontiac GMC
DCH Acura/Honda/Chrysler Jeep Dodge
John Hine Mazda
Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac
Quality Nissan
Rancho Ford Lincoln Mercury
Toyota/Scion of Temecula Valley
The nearly 100,000 residents of Temecula have quite a choice of auto
dealers right in their own back yard. No longer do they need to drive
50+ miles to larger cities to buy that new car. The selection keeps
growing and plans for new dealers are on the horizon.
The Temecula Auto Mall has become a very important part of the City of
Temecula’s growth and success and continues to bustle with development activity. John Hine Mazda opened its 32,000 square foot facility on August 9,
2007. This is another major anchor and economic stimulus for the Temecula Auto Mall.
DCH Automotive Group, a New Jersey-based company, acquired the
Norm Reeves group of dealerships in August of 2004. Since changing hands, DCH has made numerous upgrades to its facilities. Most
recently, DCH separated its Chrysler-Jeep franchise from the Dodge
franchise. The Chrysler-Jeep store underwent a multi-million dollar re-
model and expansion to better serve their clientele. In addition DCH has
expanded its Honda store, creating a used car operation separate from
its new car facility, less than a mile from the main dealership.
Future expansion for DCH includes building a brand new Honda facility
on 7 acres and a remodel of the Dodge facility. DCH is focused on growing in the market and hopes to bring on additional manufacturers, yet
to be named, to another 10 acres of property they have available within
the Auto Mall. Rancho Ford also plans to expand its service, collision center, and commercial fleet departments.
The auto dealers are partnering with the City to discuss a new full-color
electronic L.E.D. sign next to the I-15 freeway. Not only will you be able
to view the special auto sales information; but you will be able to see
community notices such as special events and announcements in glorious color as you drive by.
In addition to the auto dealers’ large contribution to the revenue for the
City of Temecula; they also play a huge part in our community. In 2006,
their charitable contributions were over $700,000 and surely will match
or exceed that amount in 2007. It is common to see one or more of their
names as sponsors for many of our local events. They also participate
in many fundraisers for the community; volunteering their time and
knowledge. It is no surprise to see Terry Gilmore, Isaac Lizaragga, Gary
Sorter, or Dan Atwood promoting a community event or fundraiser.
It just makes sense…keeping
sales tax dollars here in the
local area benefits the entire
community and will help bring
Temecula one step closer to
being the best city it can
possibly be.
Along with the revenue, charitable contributions, and car-buying convenience; they also provide jobs for over 1,000 employees. We are proud to
call them our partners in building this fine community.

Chamber Supporting More Water
for Businesses and Region
The Chamber Prepares For 2008 Initiatives
The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce is considering its position on three propositions that have qualified for the February Primary and November General 2008 ballots.
These will be the first of what could be over 20 propositions on the ballot between February
and November of next year. The Chamber will continue to highlight each proposition that
impacts businesses throughout the Southwest region.
The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce supported legislation to increase more access to water for the region at its August legislative meeting. H.R. 31 (Issa) will allow
the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD), working in conjunction with the
Secretary of the Interior’s office, to participate in the design, planning, and construction
of permanent facilities that are needed to establish recycled water distribution and waste
water treatment for EVMWD’s jurisdiction. EVMWD is responsible for the areas of Lake Elsinore, the City of Canyon Lake, a portion of
the City of Murrieta, unincorporated areas of the County of Riverside, and a portion of the
Cleveland National Forest. EVMWD provides potable water service, wastewater treatment
and disposal, and recycled water to customers within its jurisdiction
“This piece of federal legislation is not only important for our neighboring areas, but for
our businesses as well so they may succeed and growth can continue,” stated Alice Sullivan, President and CEO of the Chamber. “If businesses throughout our region are not able
to receive enough water, it will stunt growth to the entire region,” continued Sullivan.
Currently water demand throughout the region has been growing rapidly due to new
development and population growth. For example, the City of Lake Elsinore is the third
fastest growing city in Riverside County and the county is the second fastest growing
county in the Nation. EVMWD expects water demand to more than double by 2020.

Chamber Spotlight Sponsored by:
February 5, 2008 Primary Election Ballot Propositions:
Transportation Funding- This ballot measure would prohibit the use of funds that are
earmarked for transportation to be used for anything else other than transportation related issues after July 2008. This measure eliminates General Fund borrowing of specified
transportation funds, except for cash-flow purposes (repayment required within 30 days of
adoption of budget) which the current law allows borrowing for three years where Governor
declares transfer would cause significant negative fiscal impact on governmental functions and Legislature enacts authorizing statute.
Community Colleges Funding and Governance- This measure establishes in the California
State Constitution a system of independent community college districts and a statewide
Board of Governors which will over see the community college system. This measure also
sets community college fees at $15 per unit per semester and would limit fee increases.
November 4, 2008 General Election Ballot Proposition:
High-Speed Passenger Train Bond- This new measure would create the Safe, Reliable
High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century. The bond would provide the
issuance of $9.95 billion of bonds, which $9 billion of it would be used in conjunction with
available federal funds for the planning and construction of the high-speed train system. The initial high-speed train line would link San Francisco and the Bay Area to Los Angeles
with additional lines linking all of the state’s major population centers to include Sacramento, the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, Orange County, and San Diego. The entire
700-mile system would be constructed and in revenue service by 2020 with the initial line
in limited service by 2008.

program designed so that Business Leaders in our community can make a tax free donation to the Temecula Public
Library. With these donations, the library can buy the much needed books to fill the shelves! In return for
their donation, Business Leaders get some free advertising! All donors will be listed in the Library
and Chamber newsletter, various monthly chamber ads in area papers and of course
donor’s business names will be permanently placed in each book they help
buy! For more information about this great program call the Chamber
office today!
Tribal Alliance Opposes Referendums on Gaming Agreements Lynn Valbuena. “These referendums
strike at the very core of the right of tribal
governments to negotiate and execute
gaming compacts in good-faith with the
state.” Combined and over the life of the agreements, California’s General Fund stands
to receive well over $10 billion in new revenue. The importance of this new revenue
stream for the general fund was also cited
by tribal leaders as a reason to oppose the
referendums. The Tribal Alliance of Sovereign Indian Nations (TASIN), an intergovernmental association of 14 federally recognized tribal governments
throughout Southern California, announced that its members voted
yesterday to oppose the referendums that would overturn agreements
between four tribal governments and the State of California. The four agreements between the State of California and the Agua
Caliente, Morongo, Pechanga, and Sycuan tribes were concluded by
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last August and approved by the Senate
and Assembly earlier this year. “Our TASIN members voted to stand united with our fellow tribes in
opposition to these misguided referendums,” said TASIN Chairwoman
“Indian people know what it’s like to rely
on government services,” added Valbuena. “The people who would be hurt the most by these referendums are
those who depend on state funding.” The amended agreements require the four tribal governments to pay $9
million annually into the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund, a fund designed
to benefit non-gaming tribes. This amount is more than double what
the four tribes currently pay to assist non-gaming tribes. The efforts to break these agreements are funded by a labor union,
a Bay Area land developer that owns two race tracks, and two tribes
with casinos. Temecula Today | October 2007

Convention & Visitors Bureau
Fall Rod Run Promotions
The CVB is supporting the Fall Rod Run this year by
performing a 2,000- piece direct mail initiative. We
are focusing on existing events by generating extended stay opportunities for visitors from outside
the area.
Destination Marketing
Southwest Airlines -Featured Destination Ad
For the 2nd time, the CVB marketed the Temecula Valley through a
Southwest Airlines 7-day website promotion. The ad showcased our
feature-rich destination by highlighting special airfare rates starting at $59 one way via Ontario and San Diego International airports,
discounted room rates, value-added car rentals and the many fun
things to see and do in the Temecula Valley. Our first campaign in
March 2007 had over 6 million people exposed to our city via the
Click ‘n Save email, with 3,799 incremental passengers booking
airfare and traveling by August 24th. The July 2007 campaign had
over 6.2 million viewers, booking an incredible 18,204 reservations. The national average spending per person, per day is $127, so
if 18,204 passengers spent the national average, that could result
in $2,311,908 in direct visitor spending per day within our community. The average increase for all hotel bookings via southwest.com
into Temecula was over 255%.
California Travel Research

serve the people who organize and manage sporting
events of all types and levels. This publication is read
by more than 16,000 industry decision makers and

our region.
Family Travel Study - A new study by Harris Interactive commissioned by Best Western International finds that today’s family
vacations are shorter yet more elaborate and expensive, involving journeys to farther--particularly exotic--locations than what
most people remember from their childhood, according to a new
survey. Travelers are more likely to include pets in their trips over
grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Eighty-eight percent of
U.S. adults who take family vacations indicated that a getaway
these days is different from when they were children. More than
half (55%) claimed that today’s vacations are more expensive,
while just over two-fifths (42%) said they now travel greater distances. -Source: Best Western International, 8/16/2007
Vacation Breaks Getting Shorter - The leisurely summer vacation-long considered a chance for employees to break away from work
for at least a full week, if not two--has fallen out of favor. Instead,
says The Wall Street Journal, drawing from Expedia.com’s annual
Vacation Deprivation Study, many people are opting to break their
vacation time into long weekends, according to researchers who
track vacation patterns. Some employees are even combining their
vacations with two- to three-day business trips to avoid being away
from work at all. The study finds that earned vacation time often
goes unused. Despite earning the least amount of annual vacation
days, Americans will leave an average of 3 days unused—totaling
more than 439 million in 2007. The trend has picked up as the work
force has grown leaner. Another factor is the growth in the number of dual-income couples, which has made it harder for people
to coordinate their vacations. -Sources: Expedia.com; Wall Street
Journal, p.D1, August 15, 2007

Flag Flies Over Sports Park 24/7
For First Time
Jerry Barnes last month asked Perry Peters, president of Friends of Ronald Reagan
SP, for help to fix a problem: Little Leaguers wanted to pledge allegiance before their
games, but there was no flag on the flag pole at the park and the nearest one was at
the fire station on Pauba Road – and that one can’t be seen because trees block the
view.
He asked a member of his newly formed Advisory Board, retired Chief Petty Officer
Michael McCracken, to see if he could get a flag that had flown over the USS Ronald
Reagan to be donated to the City. McCracken got it done.
The flag pole is located by the snack bar and the future site of the Can-Do Monument. There was a pledge of allegiance and the singing of the National Anthem, courtesy of
the USS Ronald Reagan. After a luncheon hosted by the City, and the completion of the
work session, a traditional ball game with the City was played. The outcome of that
game was classified.
The flag-raising ceremony was performed by Chief Selects Jaime Ochoa, Christopher L
Griffin, and Fonda S. Wilson. Chief Jose Miramontes came specifically to sing the Star
Spangled Banner and lead in the Pledge.
Each of the Chiefs and Chief Selects received a California State Senate Certificate of
Appreciation from State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth’s office. A newly coined award,
the Medallion of Initiative, also was awarded by the field representative of Assembly
member Kevin Jeffries. During a pause in the Certificate presentations, “Proud to be an American” was performed by Nick Roberts, 13, a Linfield Elementary School student, and his sister, Marissa, 10. Marissa sang and Nick accompanied her on the guitar. Both are students of
David Reuther Vocal Studio of Murrieta.
From now on, Old Glory will be seen at the flag pole, night and day.
