My Plan for Fontana
Real Solutions for the Issues That Matter Most
Fontana deserves a mayor who leads with a clear plan — not just promises. Here is where Mylinda Carrillo stands and what she will do. Core Plans for Fontana A Safer, Stronger, and More Responsible Fontana My vision is to build a Fontana where families feel safe, neighborhoods are protected, homelessness is addressed with compassion and accountability, and growth is managed responsibly. 1. Public Safety First Make safety a top priority for every neighborhood. Support strong cooperation between the City and Fontana Police Department. Work to increase community policing and neighborhood engagement. Address property crime, theft, vandalism, and violent crime. Support programs that keep young people engaged and away from crime. Improve communication between residents, law enforcement, and city leadership. Promote safe neighborhoods where families, seniors, and children can feel secure. My commitment: Every resident deserves to feel safe in their own neighborhood. 2. A Responsible Approach to Homelessness Compassion with accountability. Expand partnerships with organizations that provide shelter, food, mental-health resources, job assistance, and rehabilitation services. Connect people experiencing homelessness with pathways toward permanent housing and employment. Protect public spaces, parks, businesses, and residential neighborhoods. Support solutions that address the underlying causes of homelessness rather than simply moving people from one location to another. Encourage accountability while treating every person with dignity. My commitment: We can be compassionate without abandoning responsibility. 3. Responsible Growth & Warehouse Development Protect Fontana's quality of life while supporting a strong economy. Carefully evaluate future warehouse and industrial development. Protect established residential neighborhoods from incompatible development. Consider traffic, roads, air quality, noise, and infrastructure before approving major projects. Encourage economic development that brings quality jobs and benefits residents. Demand responsible planning rather than unchecked growth. Continue advocating for a balanced economy that includes businesses beyond warehouses and logistics. My commitment: Growth should serve Fontana—not overwhelm it. 4. Protect Our Neighborhoods & Quality of Life Put residents at the center of city decisions. Preserve the character and stability of Fontana's neighborhoods. Invest in parks, recreation, streets, and community spaces. Listen directly to residents before major decisions are made. Improve transparency and communication from City Hall. Encourage neighborhood involvement and civic participation. My commitment: City government should work for the people who call Fontana home. 5. Strong Families & Stronger Communities Invest in the people who make Fontana home. Support family-oriented community programs. Encourage youth mentorship, education, sports, and leadership opportunities. Partner with churches, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations. Recognize and strengthen volunteerism throughout Fontana. Create more opportunities for residents to serve their community. My commitment: Strong communities are built when people take responsibility for one another. 6. Responsible City Government Integrity, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. Promote transparency in city government. Ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Evaluate programs and spending based on measurable results. Encourage ethical leadership and accountability. Make decisions based on what is best for Fontana residents—not special interests. My commitment: The public trust is a responsibility, not a privilege. My Four-Part Mayoral Priorities For campaign materials, I would simplify the entire platform into four memorable priorities: SAFE Protect families and neighborhoods. RESPONSIBLE Address homelessness with compassion and accountability. BALANCED Manage warehouse and industrial growth responsibly. UNITED Strengthen families, neighborhoods, businesses, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations.
Issue 01 — Crime
Safe Streets, Stronger Neighborhoods
Mylinda is pro-public safety — and committed to making sure resources are used intelligently, with results that residents can see and measure.
Put Police Where Crime Is Happening
Analyze crime by neighborhood, time, and type. Increase patrol visibility in recurring problem areas, focus resources on repeat offenders and high-crime locations, and strengthen cooperation with neighboring police agencies.
Support Fontana Police Officers
Recruit and retain qualified officers. Invest in modern equipment, technology, training, and professional development. Improve response times and support officers who work the most difficult shifts.
"Know Your Neighborhood" Initiative
Build stronger relationships between residents, police, neighborhood associations, businesses, schools, churches, and community organizations. The goal is prevention — not waiting until a neighborhood deteriorates before government responds.
Target Property Crime
Make vehicle theft, catalytic-converter theft, burglary, retail theft, vandalism, and illegal dumping specific priorities. Partner with businesses and residents on cameras, lighting, and reporting.
"I will measure our public-safety efforts by results — not slogans. Residents deserve to know whether crime is going up or down, where problems are occurring, and what their city government is doing about them."
— Mylinda Carrillo
Issue 02 — Homelessness
Compassion With Accountability
We can be compassionate without abandoning accountability. Fontana needs a coordinated approach that connects people to real solutions — not just moves them from one location to another.
Outreach First
Expand coordinated outreach involving mental-health professionals, social workers, police when appropriate, substance-abuse specialists, housing navigators, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits. Identify the person, identify the problem, connect them to the right solution.
Fontana Pathways Home
A structured pathway: Shelter → Assessment → Treatment and Services → Employment → Permanent Housing. The city should coordinate those services so people receive the help they actually need — mental-health treatment, addiction services, job placement, and stable housing.
Protect Public Spaces
Public parks, sidewalks, streets, and neighborhoods must remain safe and accessible to everyone. Mylinda will distinguish between helping people experiencing homelessness and allowing dangerous or illegal behavior in public spaces.
Measure Outcomes
Report how many people were contacted, accepted services, entered shelter, entered treatment, obtained employment, and transitioned to permanent housing. Taxpayers deserve results — not just spending reports.
"We can be compassionate without abandoning accountability. Every person deserves a pathway forward — and every Fontana resident deserves a city that works."
— Mylinda Carrillo
Issue 03 — Warehouses
Responsible Growth, Not Unlimited Growth
Fontana needs jobs and economic development — but development must make sense for the people who already live here. Mylinda's position is balanced, clear, and rooted in the community.
Review Every Major Industrial Project
Before approving major warehouse development, evaluate traffic impact, air quality and diesel emissions, noise from 24-hour operations, public infrastructure demands, and the number and quality of jobs created — including local hiring requirements.
Protect Residential Neighborhoods
Industrial development should not overwhelm residential neighborhoods. Advocate for stronger buffers between warehouses and homes, better landscaping and sound barriers, truck-routing requirements, restrictions on truck idling, and improved lighting that doesn't harm neighborhoods.
Don't Let Fontana Become Only an Industrial City
Fontana should be a place where families want to live — with homes, businesses, restaurants, entertainment, parks, and good jobs alongside responsible industrial development. Mylinda supports the Forge District vision and wants economic development that creates a balanced city.
Attract Diverse Businesses
Pursue medical businesses, professional offices, technology, manufacturing, restaurants, retail, entertainment, small businesses, skilled trades, and higher-paying employers. Diversify Fontana's economy so the city is not dependent on warehouses alone.
"I want economic development — but I want economic development that creates a balanced city. Fontana's future belongs to its families, not just its freight corridors."
— Mylinda Carrillo
