Fontana Daily Local Headlines: Council actions, pet clinic, and what’s next

Top story: City Council actions from Tuesday’s meeting

Fontana’s City Council met Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 24, with agenda items focused on how the city operates, how local housing rules align with state law, and how public safety tools are maintained and improved.

Two major approvals stood out for scale and long-term impact. The council backed a significant upgrade and service agreement for automated license plate reader cameras, a technology investment tied to public safety operations. The council also approved a project to digitize decades of police microfiche and microfilm records, aiming to make those records easier to search while also preserving them over time.

Housing-related items were also on the agenda. The council took follow-up votes on local code updates connected to state housing law, including changes tied to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and an emergency shelter overlay.
